Product details
Overview
SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF from Microchip Technology is a 1 Mbit (128 KByte) SPI serial flash memory IC operating at 1.65–1.95 V, supporting 40 MHz high-speed read via SPI Mode 0/3 interface, with uniform 4 KByte sector erase and 100,000 program/erase cycles - used for firmware storage in space-constrained industrial microcontroller boot systems.
For engineers reviewing the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF datasheet, SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF pinout, SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF application, or SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF equivalent, key selection considerations include 1.8V single-supply operation, hardware reset vs. hold pin configuration, AAI programming support, SO-as-RY/BY# capability during write operations, and industrial temperature range compliance (-40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF implements a four-wire SPI-compatible interface (SCK, SI, SO, CE#) with dual-mode clocking (Mode 0 and Mode 3), enabling interoperability with standard SPI controllers. It uses SST's proprietary SuperFlash technology with split-gate cell architecture and thick-oxide tunneling injector for enhanced reliability.
It supports Auto Address Increment (AAI) word-programming to reduce sequential write overhead, and provides end-of-write detection via both software polling of the BUSY bit and hardware-ready status on the SO pin when configured as RY/BY#. The RST#/HOLD# pin defaults to hardware reset but can be reconfigured via instruction to suspend serial communication without deselecting the device.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (128 KByte) organized as uniform 4 KByte sectors |
| Supply Voltage | 1.65–1.95 V - enables direct integration with 1.8V logic domains without level shifting |
| Max Clock Frequency | 40 MHz - supports high-throughput firmware reads in time-critical boot sequences |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - suitable for field-upgradable embedded applications |
| Data Retention | Greater than 100 years - ensures long-term firmware integrity in unpowered storage |

| Active Read Current | 2 mA typical @ 20 MHz - low power draw during active firmware execution |
| Standby Current | 2 µA typical - minimal quiescent consumption in system sleep modes |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (150 mils), RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| SO | Serial Data Output / RY/BY# | Primary data output; configurable as ready/busy status pin during AAI programming for hardware flow control |
| WP# | Write Protect | Enables lock-down of Block-Protection bits (BP2–BP0, BPL) in status register when driven low |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and core circuitry |
| VDD | Power Supply | 1.65–1.95 V supply input; powers internal logic, memory array, and I/O buffers |
| RST#/HOLD# | Reset or Hold Control | Defaults to hardware reset (RST#); programmable to HOLD# to pause SPI transactions mid-sequence without deselection |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Timing reference for SPI transfers; sampled on rising edge for inputs, drives outputs on falling edge |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Command, address, and data input path; latched on rising edge of SCK |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash Technology | Split-gate cell with thick-oxide tunneling injector delivers higher endurance and lower program energy vs. conventional flash |
| AAI Word Programming | Reduces total programming time for sequential writes by eliminating repeated address transmission per word |
| Dual SPI Modes (0 & 3) | Ensures compatibility with diverse host controllers regardless of idle SCK polarity requirement |
| Flexible Write Protection | Software-configurable block protection (BP2–BP0) plus hardware-enabled lock-down (BPL) prevents accidental firmware overwrite |
| Hardware Reset / Hold Pin | Single-pin dual-function design saves PCB real estate while supporting both system initialization and SPI transaction suspension |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25DF021-SSH-T | 2 Mbit density, 3.3 V supply (2.7–3.6 V), no AAI programming, 85 MHz max clock | Requires level-shifting for 1.8 V systems; lacks hardware RY/BY# on SO pin | Select only if higher density and 3.3 V compatibility outweigh loss of AAI and 1.8 V native operation |
| W25Q80DVSSIG | 8 Mbit density, 3.3 V supply, Quad SPI support, 105 MHz clock, 100K endurance | Not pin-compatible; requires QSPI controller and different command set; higher voltage incompatible with 1.8 V domain | Choose only for designs migrating to quad-I/O interfaces and needing >1 Mbit capacity with no voltage constraint |
Compared with AT25DF021-SSH-T and W25Q80DVSSIG, the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF uniquely delivers 1.8 V native operation, AAI programming, and SO-as-RY/BY# functionality in an industry-standard 8-lead SOIC - making it optimal for space- and power-constrained 1.8 V embedded systems requiring deterministic firmware update behavior.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF during high-speed read operations?
The SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF supports up to 40 MHz during High-Speed Read operations using the 0BH command with a dummy byte. This is confirmed in the official Microchip datasheet DS20005016C, Table 9. Standard Read (03H) is limited to 20 MHz. The 40 MHz capability enables faster boot code loading in time-sensitive applications, and the device maintains timing compliance across its full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
Does the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF support 32 KByte or 64 KByte block erase commands?
No, the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF does not support 32 KByte or 64 KByte block erase. As specified in the datasheet DS20005016C, Section "Memory Organization" and Table 9, only uniform 4 KByte sector erase (20H) and chip erase (60H/C7H) are available for the 1 Mbit variant. Larger block erases (52H, D8H) apply exclusively to SST25WF020 and SST25WF040 devices per Tables 9 and 10.
How is the RST#/HOLD# pin configured on the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF at power-on?
At power-on, the RST#/HOLD# pin on the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF defaults to hardware reset (RST#) functionality. It can be reconfigured to HOLD# mode via the Enable-Hold (AAH) instruction, but this change persists only until the next power cycle. After power-off and power-on, the pin automatically reverts to RST# mode, as documented in DS20005016C, Section "Reset/Hold Mode".
What write protection mechanisms are implemented in the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF?
The SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF implements dual-layer write protection: hardware-based via the WP# pin (enabling BPL bit lock-down) and software-based via Block-Protection bits BP2–BP0 in the status register. When WP# is low, the BPL bit controls whether BP bits are read-only. Default power-up state sets BP2–BP0 = 11b, protecting the full 1 Mbit memory space (000000H–01FFFFH), per Table 6 in DS20005016C.
Is the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF still in active production or marked obsolete?
The SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF is an obsolete device per Microchip's official documentation (DS20005016C, title page: "EOL Data Sheet"). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains strategic inventory and supply chain continuity support for this part, including lifecycle coordination and traceable sourcing, to serve existing industrial and medical designs dependent on this specific 1.8 V, 1 Mbit SPI flash variant.
