Product details
Overview
SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T 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 endurance - used for firmware storage in industrial microcontroller boot loaders.
For engineers reviewing the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T datasheet, SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T pinout, SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T application, or SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.8V single-supply operation, SOIC-8 package compatibility, AAI programming mode, hardware reset vs. hold pin option, and software write protection via status register BP bits.
Technical Context
This device implements a four-wire SPI-compatible interface (SCK, SI, SO, CE#) with dual-mode clock support (Mode 0 and Mode 3), enabling interoperability with diverse host controllers. It uses SST's proprietary SuperFlash technology with split-gate cell architecture and thick-oxide tunneling injector for enhanced reliability.
Internal operations include Auto Address Increment (AAI) word-programming to reduce sequential write time, end-of-write detection via BUSY bit polling or SO RY/BY# status output, and flexible protection using both WP# pin control and software-configurable Block-Protection bits (BP2–BP0) in the status register.
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-speed read via High-Speed Read (0BH) instruction with dummy byte |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - suitable for field-upgradable firmware with moderate update frequency |
| Data Retention | Greater than 100 years - ensures long-term integrity of stored boot code or calibration data |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC (150 mils), RoHS compliant, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must remain low for full command sequence duration |
| SO | Serial Data Output | Outputs read data on falling SCK edge; functions as RY/BY# status pin in AAI mode when configured |
| WP# | Write Protect | Enables/disables lock-down of Block-Protection bits (BP2–BP0) in status register |
| 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 and memory array |
| RST#/HOLD# | Reset or Hold Pin | Default hardware reset function; configurable as HOLD# to suspend SPI communication without deselecting device |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Timing reference; commands/addresses latched on rising edge, data shifted out on falling edge |
| SI | Serial Data Input | Accepts opcodes, addresses, and data; sampled on rising edge of SCK |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash Technology | Split-gate cell with thick-oxide tunneling injector delivers superior reliability and manufacturability vs. conventional flash |
| Auto Address Increment (AAI) | Reduces total programming time for sequential writes by eliminating repeated address transmission per byte |
| Dual SPI Modes | Supports both Mode 0 (SCK idle low) and Mode 3 (SCK idle high) for seamless integration with varied host controllers |
| Flexible Erase Granularity | Uniform 4 KByte sectors only - no 32/64 KByte blocks (confirmed for SST25WF010 per Table 6) |
| Hardware Reset / Hold Option | Single RST#/HOLD# pin defaults to reset; programmable to suspend ongoing SPI sequences without CE# deassertion |
| Software Write Protection | Status register BP2–BP0 bits enable selective protection of upper quarter/half/full memory space, lockable via WP# and BPL bit |
Applications
| Firmware Boot Storage | Industrial Sensor Calibration Data |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT25SF011-SSHD-B | 1 Mbit, 1.7–2.0 V supply, 104 MHz max read (quad SPI), SOIC-8 package | Requires quad SPI controller support; higher speed but incompatible command set and protection model | Select if system requires faster read bandwidth and supports AT25SF command extensions and QPI mode |
| W25Q10EWUXIE | 1 Mbit, 1.65–1.95 V, 133 MHz max read (quad SPI), WSON-8 (6 × 5 mm) | Different pinout (WSON), quad/DTR capability, and status register layout; no RST#/HOLD# pin | Choose for space-constrained designs needing smaller footprint and higher performance, accepting loss of hardware reset/hold functionality |
Compared with SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T, AT25SF011-SSHD-B offers higher read speed but demands quad SPI infrastructure and lacks RST#/HOLD#, while W25Q10EWUXIE provides identical voltage and density in a smaller WSON package but removes the dual-function pin and uses a different protection scheme - making SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T optimal for legacy SPI-only designs requiring hardware reset flexibility and proven SuperFlash reliability.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T?
The SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T contains 1 Mbit (128 KByte) of flash memory organized into thirty-two uniform 4 KByte sectors. It does not support 32 KByte or 64 KByte block erase - confirmed in Table 6 of the datasheet, which specifies only 4 KByte sector erase for SST25WF010. Each sector can be independently erased, and the entire array may be erased via Chip-Erase instruction (60H or C7H).
Does the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T support Quad SPI mode?
No, the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T does not support Quad SPI. It implements a standard four-wire SPI interface (SCK, SI, SO, CE#) compatible only with SPI Modes 0 and 3. There is no provision for dual or quad I/O operation, nor any command set extension for QPI - this is consistent across all SST25WFxxx family members per the datasheet's instruction tables and feature list.
What is the function of the RST#/HOLD# pin on the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T?
The RST#/HOLD# pin on the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T defaults to hardware reset (RST#) at power-on. It can be reconfigured as a HOLD# pin via the Enable-Hold (AAH) instruction to suspend ongoing SPI communication without deselecting the device. Once set to HOLD#, it remains active until power-cycled. This dual functionality is unique to the SST25WF series and is documented in Sections 6–7 of the datasheet.
How is write protection implemented on the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T?
Write protection on the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T uses two complementary methods: (1) Hardware via the WP# pin, which enables/disables lock-down of Block-Protection bits (BP2–BP0); and (2) Software via BP2–BP0 in the status register, allowing protection of upper quarter, upper half, or full memory. The BPL bit (bit 7) controls whether BP bits are read-only - set when WP# is low and BPL = 1.
Is the SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T still in production?
The SST25WF010-40-5I-SAF-T is an obsolete (EOL) device per Microchip's official datasheet DS20005016C (11/2014). Microchip recommends contacting its sales team for replacement guidance. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and supply chain support for this part to serve legacy design continuity and maintenance requirements.
