256 Mbit NOR flash for automotive code storage
The S25FL256SDPBHB213: NOR flash provides fast random-read access suitable for execute-in-place (XIP) code execution, eliminating the need to shadow code into RAM for many microcontroller boot and application storage use cases.
AEC-Q100 qualification and temperature grade
Qualified to AEC-Q100, the automotive industry's stress-test qualification standard for ICs — this part is approved for production vehicle programs requiring PPAP-level reliability documentation.
The Quad I/O interface reads four data bits per clock cycle, delivering higher throughput than standard SPI without adding dedicated address or data pins to the host controller. At 66 MHz clock frequency, the Quad I/O read throughput reaches approximately 33 MB/s (66 MHz × 4 bits), sufficient for fast code shadowing and data logging in automotive and industrial applications.
24-ball TBGA package and board integration
Housed in a 24-ball Thin BGA (TBGA) package measuring 8x6 mm (supplier device package 24-BGA (8x6)), the part fits compact designs where board area is constrained. The 0.80 mm ball pitch demands controlled impedance routing for the SPI lines at 66 MHz — keep trace lengths matched and within 50 mm of the host controller to maintain signal integrity.
