Module Naming

Part Number: SF32LB5x-MOD-y-AaaaBbbbCccc

Syntax Note

  • In the generic suffix, A, B, and C identify the three storage-field positions; they are not literal characters in every module name.
  • The first character within each populated field identifies the storage type. The remaining digits identify its capacity or configuration.
  • The -y subtype field is currently used only by the SF32LB52 module family. Published SF32LB56-MOD and SF32LB58-MOD names are not using it.

Prefix: SF32LB5x-MOD-y

  • SF32LB5x — Module MCU family
    • SF32, LB, and 5 follow the same series, product-line, and processor-family meanings as the chip naming convention above.
    • x identifies the product tier: 8 flagship, 6 / 5 mid-range, and 2 cost-optimized.
  • MOD — SiFli module product.
  • y — Module subtype, when the family defines one
    • 1: Direct Li-ion battery operation for SF32LB520/3/5/7 devices. The chip supply range is 3.2–4.7 V; the standard configuration uses SF32LB525UC6 with 8 MB OPI-PSRAM.
    • A: Regular 3.3 V operation for the SF32LB52B family. It does not support direct Li-ion battery supply; the chip supply range is 2.97–3.63 V. The standard configuration uses SF32LB52BU36 with integrated 1 MB QSPI-NOR Flash.
    • B: Regular 3.3 V operation for the SF32LB52E/G/J family. It does not support direct Li-ion battery supply; the chip supply range is 2.97–3.63 V. The standard configuration uses SF32LB52EUB6 with integrated 4 MB OPI-PSRAM.

The -A module does not mount an external NOR Flash device. It can connect an external NOR Flash or SDIO peripherals, including Wi-Fi, SD-NAND, and eMMC in 4-bit mode.

Suffix: AaaaBbbbCccc

N4: 4 MB QSPI-NOR Flash

The three suffix fields are concatenated without separators. Aaaa is the variable Flash option, Bbbb is the PSRAM option, and Cccc is the standard Flash option. The source guide defines the listed type-and-capacity combinations; do not assume that every type code can be combined with every capacity code. A field appears only when the documented module configuration uses it.

Part Number Examples

Example 1: SF32LB52-MOD-1-N16R8

SF32LB52 lithium-battery module configuration:

  • Module Subtype: -1 supports direct Li-ion battery operation with a 3.2–4.7 V chip supply.
  • Variable Flash: N16 indicates 16 MB QSPI-NOR Flash.
  • PSRAM: R8 indicates 8 MB OPI-PSRAM.

Example 2: SF32LB58-MOD-A128R32N1

SF32LB58 flagship module configuration:

  • Module Subtype: No -y subtype is used for published SF32LB58-MOD names.
  • Variable Flash: A128 indicates 128 MB SPI-NAND Flash.
  • PSRAM: R32 indicates 16 MB + 16 MB HPI-PSRAM.
  • Standard Flash: N1 indicates 1 MB QSPI-NOR Flash.

The naming pattern describes a configuration, not a guarantee that every code combination is a released SKU. The SiFli guide identifies SF32LB566VCB36 and SF32LB586VDD36 as standard MCU configurations for the SF32LB56-MOD and SF32LB58-MOD families respectively; additional module configurations may be customized. Confirm availability, fitted MCU, pinout, and electrical specifications in the applicable module documentation.
