EN25QX128A-104FIP(2XC)

The EN25QX128A-104FIP(2XC) is a 128 Mbit serial NOR Flash memory device designed for SPI-based embedded storage. It implements a serial interface architecture with Standard, Dual and Quad SPI I/O and supports fast reads up to a 104 MHz clock rate.

Built for industrial-grade systems, this non-volatile memory provides uniform 4 KB sectors, byte-programmable 256-byte pages, on-chip protection and low-power standby—making it suitable for embedded firmware, code storage and reliable data retention in industrial applications.

Key Features

• Memory Core 128 M-bit (16,384 KByte) serial NOR Flash organized as 16M × 8 with 256-byte programmable pages and 65,535 pages total.
• Uniform Sector Architecture 4,096 sectors of 4 KB each, plus 512 blocks of 32 KB and 256 blocks of 64 KB; sectors and blocks can be erased individually.
• High-speed SPI Interface Supports Standard, Dual and Quad SPI modes (CLK, CS#, DI/DO, DQ₂, DQ₃) with Fast Read up to 104 MHz. Default Quad Enable (QE) = 1 and WP#/HOLD# disabled by default.
• Program and Erase Performance Page program typical time 0.5 ms; sector erase typical time 40 ms; half-block and block erase typical times 200 ms and 300 ms respectively; chip erase typical time 60 s.
• Low Power Typical active current ~6 mA and typical standby current ~1 µA for power-conscious embedded designs.
• Reliability Minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and 20-year data retention for long-term firmware and data storage.
• Security & Protection Software and hardware write protection, lockable 3 × 512-byte OTP sectors, volatile status register bits, and write suspend/resume support.
• Package & Temperature Available in a 16-pin SOP 300 mil surface-mount package; industrial operating temperature range −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Discovery Supports Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) and Read Unique ID Number features for system compatibility and inventorying.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Persistent firmware and configuration storage in controllers and automation equipment where industrial temperature range and reliable erase/program cycles are required.
• Embedded Systems Code shadowing and non-volatile data storage for microcontroller-based platforms using SPI interfaces and requiring fast read access.
• Communications Equipment Storage of boot code, configuration parameters and field upgrades in network and communication devices that rely on robust NOR Flash.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible SPI I/O Modes: Standard, Dual and Quad modes let designers trade off pin count and throughput without changing the memory family.
• Uniform Sector Erase: 4 KB uniform sectors enable fine-grained erase and update operations, reducing erase overhead for small data blocks.
• Industrial-grade Reliability: Specified for −40 °C to 85 °C with proven endurance and long data retention to support demanding field-deployed systems.
• Power-efficient Standby: Low standby current helps minimize idle power consumption in battery-backed or always-on industrial applications.
• On-chip Protection Features: Hardware and software write protection plus lockable OTP sectors help safeguard critical code and data.
