EN25S20A-104GIP(2SF)

The EN25S20A-104GIP(2SF) is a 2 Mbit serial SPI NOR Flash memory device designed for industrial-grade embedded storage. It implements a serial interface architecture with Standard, Dual and Quad SPI modes and supports up to 104 MHz clocking for high-throughput read operations.

Optimized for code and data storage in industrial and embedded systems, the device combines uniform-sector erase flexibility, hardware and software write protection, low-power idle modes, and a compact 8-pin SOP package for space-constrained designs.

Key Features

• Memory Capacity & Organization – 2 Mbit (256 KByte) organized as 256K × 8 with 1024 pages (256 bytes per programmable page), suitable for firmware and data storage.
• Serial SPI Interface – SPI compatible with Mode 0 and Mode 3; supports Standard, Dual and Quad SPI including Dual/Quad I/O fast read operations.
• High-Speed Clocking – 104 MHz clock rate for 1-, 2- and 4-bit transfers enabling equivalent dual/quad data rates when used with Dual/Quad instructions.
• Program & Erase Performance – Typical page program time 0.30 ms; sector erase ~40 ms; 32 KB block erase ~100 ms; 64 KB block erase ~150 ms; chip erase ~1 s.
• Uniform Sector Architecture – 64 sectors of 4 KB, 8 × 32 KB blocks and 4 × 64 KB blocks. Any sector or block can be erased individually to support targeted updates.
• Write Protection & Security – Software and hardware write protection with WP# pin; lockable 512-byte OTP security sector for protected data.
• Low Power – Typical active current 6 mA and typical power-down current 0.1 μA for energy-efficient operation.
• Reliability – Minimum 100k program/erase cycles per sector or block and 20-year data retention documented in the datasheet.
• Package & Temperature – Surface-mount 8-pin SOP 150 mil package; industrial operating temperature range −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Features – Supports SPI burst modes (8/16/32/64 linear burst with wrap-around), SFDP signature, and a Read Unique ID Number feature as noted in the datasheet.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Embedded Systems – Reliable non-volatile storage for firmware and configuration data in industrial controllers and equipment across −40 °C to 85 °C.
• Firmware & Boot Storage – Page-program and sector-erase granularity enable firmware updates, code patching and modular code maintenance without full-chip erase.
• IoT & Edge Devices – Compact 8-pin package and low-power standby current make it suitable for space- and power-constrained sensor nodes and edge controllers.

Unique Advantages

• Flexible SPI Modes: Standard, Dual and Quad SPI support lets you scale read throughput without changing the memory footprint.
• Granular Erase Architecture: Uniform 4 KB sectors and larger block options enable targeted updates and efficient flash lifecycle management.
• Hardware + Software Protection: WP# pin plus software protection bits allow selective protection of memory regions to reduce risk during updates.
• Compact, Industrial Package: 8-pin SOP 150 mil package provides a small board footprint with an industrial temperature rating for rugged deployments.
• Low Power Standby: Sub-μA power-down current reduces system idle power while retaining non-volatile data.
• Proven Endurance & Retention: Documented minimum 100k program/erase cycles and 20-year data retention support long-term product lifecycles.
