EN25QX128A-104HIP(2XC)

The EN25QX128A-104HIP(2XC) from ESMT is a 128 Megabit serial SPI NOR Flash memory optimized for industrial applications. It implements a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) with Single/Dual/Quad I/O modes and supports high-speed Fast Read at a 104 MHz clock rate for code and data storage in embedded systems.

With uniform 4-Kbyte sectors, hardware and software write protection, and industrial temperature range, this device targets firmware storage, code shadowing and configuration/data retention in industrial and communications equipment where reliability and field-update capability are required.

Key Features

• Memory and Organization — 128 M-bit capacity (16,384 KByte) organized as 16M × 8 with 256-byte programmable pages and 4-Kbyte uniform sectors for predictable erase/program operations.
• SPI Serial Interface — Supports Standard, Dual and Quad SPI operation with SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3 compatibility; standard pins include CLK, CS#, DI, DO and Quad signals DQ0–DQ3.
• High-Speed Read — Fast Read operation up to 104 MHz for Single/Dual/Quad I/O, enabling faster code fetch and data access in high-throughput designs.
• Program & Erase Performance — Typical page program and erase timings provided: page program (typical 0.5 ms), sector erase (typical 40 ms), half-block erase (typical 200 ms), block erase (typical 300 ms), full chip erase (typical 60 s).
• Power — Single power supply operation across a full voltage range (2.7–3.6 V) with low active current (typical 6 mA) and low standby current (typical 1 µA).
• Reliability & Data Protection — Minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and 20-year data retention; software and hardware write protection, lockable OTP sectors, and volatile status register control.
• Package & Temperature — Available in an 8-pin SOP 200 mil package (surface-mount) and specified for industrial operating temperatures from −40°C to +85°C.
• Standards & Discoverability — Supports Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) for host interrogation of device capabilities; default Quad Enable (QE=1).

Typical Applications

• Embedded Firmware Storage — Store boot code and firmware images with sector-level erase and in-field update capability using SPI Quad/ Dual modes for faster transfers.
• Industrial Control — Non-volatile code and configuration storage for PLCs, motor controllers and instrumentation that require operation across −40°C to +85°C.
• Communications Equipment — Firmware and parameter storage for routers, gateways and network modules where fast read performance and SFDP support simplify integration.
• Consumer & IoT Devices — Code shadowing and data logging in designs that benefit from low standby current and small surface-mount packaging.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible SPI I/O Modes — Single, Dual and Quad I/O support lets designers balance pin usage and performance without changing memory architecture.
• Uniform Sector Architecture — 4-Kbyte uniform sectors simplify memory management and allow targeted sector erases for efficient field updates.
• Low Power Standby — Typical standby current of 1 µA helps extend battery life or reduce standby power in always-on systems.
• High Endurance and Retention — Minimum 100K program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention provide long-term reliability for deployed systems.
• Industrial Temperature Rated — Specified operation from −40°C to +85°C suitable for challenging environmental conditions.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package — 8‑pin SOP 200 mil package enables space-efficient PCB designs and straightforward assembly.
