256 Mbit NOR Flash with Quad-SPI for XIP and fast boot
The S25FL256LAGNFN011 is a 256 Mbit NOR Flash memory from Infineon's FL-L series, organized as 32 M x 8 bits.
At 133 MHz in Quad I/O mode, the part delivers a sustained read rate that keeps a Cortex-M or RISC-V core fed without wait states for most code footprints. The QPI mode reduces command overhead by using the same four I/O lines for address and data, which tightens back-to-back read latency. If your design already uses a Quad-SPI controller, this part drops in without glue logic.
Infineon lists the S25FL256LAGNFN011 as Active. For new designs, the FL-L series is the recommended NOR Flash family from Infineon, so roadmap continuity is stable.
