Hi,

we use the following flash chip in our product: CYPRESS, S25FL128SAGMFI001.

Unfortunately, several chips failed after a while. Our host system is not able to read the Manufacturer Signature (Command READ_ID (REMS)). The failure affects 10 out of 100 devices.  When could this condition occur?

What happens when the maximum number of write/erase cycles to a fix memory address of a 4K sector is reached? 

Does the Flash module organize itself internally and does it have a kind of mapping?

If a 4K sector is no longer writable, should it still be possible to read out the manufacturer signature?

Could you help me with the question?

Thanks and looking forward to your reply.
