EN25S16B-104HIP(2SC)

The EN25S16B-104HIP(2SC) is a 16.78 Mbit non-volatile SPI NOR flash memory optimized for industrial embedded applications. Built on a serial SPI architecture, it provides fast read performance up to 104 MHz and flexible SPI modes to support code storage, firmware updates and data storage in space-constrained designs.

Designed for reliable field operation, the device combines uniform 4 KB sectors, comprehensive write protection and industry-grade temperature operation to meet the demands of industrial systems and embedded products requiring robust firmware and data retention.

Key Features

• Core / Architecture Serial SPI NOR flash memory with support for Standard, Dual and Quad SPI modes to match a variety of host controllers and performance needs.
• Memory Organization 16.78 Mbit capacity organized as 2M × 8 with 8,192 pages and 256 bytes per programmable page; uniform sector architecture with 512 × 4 KB sectors.
• High Performance Read Fast read up to 104 MHz (Standard and Dual SPI with 1 dummy byte; Quad SPI up to 104 MHz with configurable dummy cycles) for accelerated boot and code execution.
• Program / Erase Speed Typical page program time 0.5 ms; sector, half-block and block erase times and chip-erase options provide flexible update granularity.
• Low Power Typical active current ~4.5 mA and typical power-down current ~0.1 μA to help minimize system power in active and standby modes.
• Data Protection Hardware write-protect (WP#), HOLD# control, software protection bits and lockable 3×512-byte OTP sector to secure critical code and data.
• Reliability Minimum 100K program/erase cycles per sector and typical data retention of 20 years for long-term firmware and data integrity.
• Package & Temperature Available in an 8-pin SOP 200 mil package with industrial temperature range of −40 °C to 85 °C for harsh environments.
• Standards & Discoverability Supports Serial Flash Discoverable Parameters (SFDP) signature and Read Unique ID Number for device identification and interoperability.
• RoHS Compliance Pb‑free packages are compliant with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial controllers — Reliable storage for firmware, field updates and code patching where sector-level erase and write protection simplify in-field maintenance.
• Embedded systems — Boot code and application storage for embedded devices that require fast read performance and low standby current.
• Communications and networking equipment — Flash-based firmware and configuration storage with SFDP support and unique ID for inventory and provisioning.
• Firmware update and secure storage — Lockable OTP sector and robust protection features for secure parameter storage and firmware staging areas.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible SPI performance — Standard, Dual and Quad SPI support with configurable dummy cycles and 104 MHz fast-read capability enable designers to balance throughput and pin count.
• Granular erase and program control — Uniform 4 KB sectors with sector, block and chip erase options allow precise updates and reduce erase overhead.
• Low-power operation — Typical active and power-down currents reduce system power consumption in both active and idle modes.
• Robust data integrity — 100K program/erase cycle endurance and 20-year data retention support long lifecycle products and field-upgradeable systems.
• Hardware and software protection — WP#, HOLD# and software lock mechanisms together with a lockable OTP sector help protect code and sensitive data against accidental or unauthorized changes.
• Industrial-ready packaging — 8-pin SOP 200 mil package and −40 °C to 85 °C operating range meet the thermal and form-factor needs of industrial designs.
