32 Mbit NOR Flash with Quad SPI — fit for automotive code storage
The Cypress S25FL132K0XNFA010 is a 32 Mbit NOR Flash memory from the FL1-K series, organized as 4M x 8 and accessed through an SPI Quad I/O interface clocked at 108 MHz. It operates from a 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply and is rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient temperature. The AEC-Q100 qualification targets automotive body and comfort electronics where non-volatile code or calibration data needs fast readback and reliable retention.
108 MHz Quad SPI — throughput for shadowing or fast boot
The Quad I/O interface at 108 MHz delivers read throughput sufficient for execute-in-place (XIP) code shadowing in automotive microcontrollers that lack internal Flash. The 3 ms page write time is typical for NOR; plan for erase-before-write cycles in field-update scenarios. The 32 Mbit density suits a single firmware image plus a small parameter block — not a multi-image bank.
The SOIC-8 package (5.30 mm body width) is a common footprint for serial NOR Flash; verify the supplier device package matches your PCB land pattern — the 8-SOIC designation is consistent across the FL1-K family.
