Product details
Overview
SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Silicon Storage Technology) is a 64 Mbit SPI serial flash memory IC with dual I/O capability, designed for embedded firmware storage and code execution in resource-constrained systems. It operates at 2.7–3.6 V, supports 80 MHz high-speed read (0BH), features 100,000 program/erase cycles, and delivers 12 mA active current at 80 MHz - enabling fast boot and reliable firmware updates in industrial controllers and IoT edge nodes.
For engineers reviewing the SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T datasheet, SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T pinout, SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T application, or SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, dual-I/O timing behavior, sector/block erase granularity, Security ID programmability, and real-world design implications of its SuperFlash technology - all aligned to the official DS20005036C EOL datasheet.
Technical Context
The SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T implements a four-wire SPI interface compatible with Mode 0 and Mode 3, using SCK, SI/SIO0, SO/SIO1, CE#, WP#, and RST#/HOLD# pins. Its split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture enables faster erase (18 ms sector-erase, 35 ms chip-erase) and lower total energy per operation versus conventional NOR flash.
It supports three dual-mode read instructions: Fast-Read Dual-Output (3BH, 75 MHz), Fast-Read Dual I/O (BBH, 50 MHz), and High-Speed Read (0BH, 80 MHz), each with distinct dummy-cycle requirements and data routing across SIO0/SIO1. The device uses a 24-bit address space (000000H–7FFFFFH) organized into uniform 4 KByte sectors, 32 KByte blocks, and 64 KByte blocks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 64 Mbit (8 MByte); supports full firmware image storage for mid-tier microcontrollers without external memory expansion. |
| Interface | SPI-compatible 4-wire bus (SCK, SI/SIO0, SO/SIO1, CE#); eliminates parallel bus routing and reduces PCB layer count. |
| Max Read Speed | 80 MHz (High-Speed Read, 0BH instruction); enables sub-100 µs access to critical boot code sections. |
| Erase Granularity | Uniform 4 KByte sectors, 32 KByte blocks, 64 KByte blocks; allows fine-grained OTA update partitioning without full chip erase. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles, >100 years data retention; validated for long-life industrial deployments with frequent field updates. |
| Security ID | 256-bit OTP Security ID (64-bit factory-unique + 192-bit user-programmable); enables secure device authentication and anti-cloning. |
| Operating Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V single supply; interoperable with 3.3 V logic families and simplifies power rail design. |
| Temperature Range | Industrial grade: –40°C to +85°C; qualified for use in automotive body control modules and factory automation PLCs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-contact WSON (6 mm × 8 mm), RoHS-compliant, moisture-sensitive level 3. Pin assignments are identical across 8-lead SOIC (200 mil), 16-lead SOIC (300 mil), and 8-WSON packages per DS20005036C Figure 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low selection signal; must remain low throughout command sequence; deasserting terminates ongoing operations. |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Timing reference for SPI transfers; rising edge latches input (SI/SIO0), falling edge outputs data (SO/SIO1). |
| SI/SIO0 | Serial Data Input / Dual I/O | Primary input path for commands/addresses/data; in Dual I/O mode, carries even-address bits and even-data bits. |
| SO/SIO1 | Serial Data Output / Dual I/O | Primary output path for read data; in Dual I/O mode, carries odd-address bits and odd-data bits. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Hardware enable for Block-Protection-Lock (BPL); when low, prevents modification of BP3–BP0 unless BPL = 0. |
| RST#/HOLD# | Reset / Hold Function | Default reset pin at power-up; configurable as HOLD# via EHLD instruction to pause SPI transfers without clock reset. |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers internal charge pumps for erase/program; decoupling capacitor required per layout guidelines. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path; must be low-impedance and tied to system ground plane to minimize noise on SPI signals. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual I/O Read Modes | Supports BBH (50 MHz dual-input address + dual-output data) and 3BH (75 MHz dual-output only), cutting read latency by up to 2× vs standard SPI reads. |
| SuperFlash Technology | Split-gate cell with thick-oxide tunneling injector enables 18 ms sector erase (vs ~100 ms typical) and 1.5 ms page-program - reducing update time and system downtime. |
| Flexible Block Protection | Software-configurable BP3–BP0 bits protect memory regions from accidental overwrite; BPL bit locks protection settings permanently when WP# is asserted. |
| Security ID Space | Factory-programmed 64-bit unique ID + 192-bit user-programmable OTP area; supports secure boot key binding and device identity attestation. |
| Low-Power Standby | 5 µA typical standby current enables battery-backed operation in always-on sensors and metering applications. |
| End-of-Write Detection | BUSY bit polling in status register (bit 0) replaces fixed-timing delays - simplifies firmware integration and improves reliability across voltage/temperature corners. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SPI serial flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winbond W25Q64JVSSIQ | 64 Mbit, 104 MHz Quad SPI, 4-byte addressing, no dual-I/O-only modes; requires QSPI controller support. | Higher throughput in QSPI mode but incompatible with legacy dual-I/O-only host drivers. | Select if host MCU supports Quad SPI and bandwidth >80 MB/s is required; not drop-in for SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T's dual-I/O timing. |
| Macronix MX25L6433FZNI-10G | 64 Mbit, 104 MHz standard SPI, no dual-I/O instructions; supports standard 03H/0BH reads only. | Lacks dual-output/dual-I/O acceleration - read latency ~2× higher than SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T at same clock rate. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where dual-I/O performance is unnecessary and legacy SPI-only firmware exists. |
Compared with W25Q64JVSSIQ and MX25L6433FZNI-10G, the SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T uniquely balances 80 MHz single-I/O speed with dual-I/O acceleration (75/50 MHz), making it optimal for hosts lacking Quad SPI but requiring faster-than-standard read performance - especially in firmware hot-path access and OTA staging.

FAQ
What does the "-80-4C-Q2AE-T" suffix indicate for SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T?
The "-80" denotes 80 MHz maximum High-Speed Read frequency (0BH instruction), "-4C" specifies commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), "-Q2AE" identifies the 8-contact WSON (6 mm × 8 mm) package with exposed pad, and "-T" indicates tape-and-reel packaging. Note: This specific suffix variant is rated for commercial temp - the industrial-grade version is SST25VF064C-80-4I-Q2AE-T.
Does SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T support Quad SPI mode?
No. SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T supports only standard SPI (Mode 0/3) and dual-I/O modes (Fast-Read Dual-Output and Fast-Read Dual I/O). It lacks quad data lines (IO2/IO3) and corresponding instructions (e.g., 6BH, EBH), unlike Quad SPI flash devices such as Winbond W25Q64JV.
How is the Security ID programmed and locked on SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T?
The SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T Security ID is programmed using the Program SID instruction (A5H) after issuing Write-Enable (WREN), then locked permanently via Lockout SID (85H). The 64-bit factory ID is immutable; only the 192-bit user segment is writable. Once locked, no further writes to any part of the Security ID are possible.
What happens if CE# is deasserted mid-read on SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T?
Deasserting CE# (driving high) during any read instruction (03H, 0BH, 3BH, BBH) immediately terminates the transfer and places SO/SIO1 in high-impedance state. The internal address pointer retains its last value, so subsequent reads resume from that address - enabling partial reads and streaming control without address reinitialization.
Can SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T be used in place of SST25VF064C-80-4I-Q2AE-T?
Only in commercial-temperature environments (0°C to +70°C). The SST25VF064C-80-4C-Q2AE-T is not qualified for –40°C to +85°C operation. Substituting it in industrial applications risks parametric failure during cold startup or thermal stress, particularly in erase/write timing margins and data retention.
