EN25QY256A-104HIP(2U)

The EN25QY256A-104HIP(2U) is a serial SPI NOR flash memory device designed for industrial applications. It implements a serial interface architecture supporting Single, Dual and Quad SPI I/O and is organized as 32M × 8 for non-volatile code and data storage.

Targeted at embedded systems and industrial designs that require reliable field-updatable memory, the device delivers high read throughput with a 104 MHz fast-read clock and an industrial operating temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C.

Key Features

• Memory  256 M-bit density organized as 32M × 8 with 256 bytes per programmable page and uniform 4 Kbyte sectors (8,192 sectors total).
• Performance  Fast read capability with a 104 MHz clock for Single/Dual/Quad I/O fast read and typical page program time and erase performance as specified in the datasheet.
• Interface  SPI compatible serial interface supporting Standard, Dual and Quad SPI modes, and SPI Mode 0 and Mode 3 operation for flexible system integration.
• Power  Single power-supply operation with low power consumption: typical active current around 7 mA and typical power-down current around 1 μA (datasheet typical values).
• Program / Erase and Endurance  Uniform sector architecture with individual sector/block erase capability, minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and long data retention (greater than 20 years as specified).
• Protection & Security  Hardware and software write protection (WP# pin and software protection), lockable OTP sector (3 × 512 bytes), and status register protections to support secure field updates.
• Package & Temperature  Surface-mount 8-pin SOP 200 mil package option and industrial temperature range of -40 °C to 85 °C for robust deployment in demanding environments.
• System Features  Supports 3-byte and 4-byte address modes, configurable dummy cycles for timing optimization, Read Unique ID, and support for Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP).
• Compliance  RoHS compliant and available in Pb‑free packages (per product documentation).

Typical Applications

• Embedded firmware storage  Reliable non-volatile storage for boot code and firmware images with sector-level erase and write protection for safe field updates.
• Industrial control  Code and configuration storage in PLCs, motor controllers and factory automation equipment operating across an extended temperature range.
• Communications equipment  Non-volatile storage for configuration, calibration data and firmware in routers, gateways and industrial networking devices.
• Consumer and IoT devices (industrial-grade)  Large capacity serial flash for application and data storage where Quad/ Dual SPI read performance and low-power standby are beneficial.

Unique Advantages

• High-density serial storage: 256 M-bit capacity in a compact 8-pin package simplifies BOM for designs requiring large code or data storage without complex parallel memory interfaces.
• Flexible SPI modes: Standard, Dual and Quad SPI support lets designers trade off pin count and throughput to match system requirements.
• Field update support: Uniform 4 KB sectors with software and hardware write-protect mechanisms enable safe partial updates and in-field firmware maintenance.
• Industrial robustness: Industrial temperature rating and surface-mount packaging enable deployment in harsh environments and space-constrained PCBs.
• Low-power options: Typical low active and power-down currents reduce system power draw during standby and sleep modes.
