Product details
Overview
SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO from Microchip Technology is a 16 Mbit Serial Quad I/O™ (SQI™) flash memory IC operating at up to 104 MHz (2.7–3.6 V), featuring uniform 4 KByte sectors, 256-byte page programming, and flexible block protection with OTP Security ID. It serves as non-volatile program/data storage in microcontroller boot loaders and firmware update systems.
For engineers reviewing the SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO datasheet, SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO pinout, SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO application, or SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO equivalent, key selection criteria include SQI vs. SPI mode compatibility, industrial temperature support (−40°C to +85°C), WDFN-8 (6 mm × 5 mm) package footprint, and hardware write-protection via WP# pin with lock-down capability.
Technical Context
This device implements a six-wire, 4-bit multiplexed I/O interface supporting both traditional SPI (x1/x2 modes) and high-speed SQI protocol - enabling quad-data-rate transfers without increasing pin count. Its SuperFlash® technology uses split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling for enhanced endurance (100,000 cycles) and data retention (>100 years).
It integrates dual-mode operation: default SPI mode after power-on reset, configurable to SQI mode via EQIO command. The internal architecture includes dedicated status/configuration registers, programmable block-protection logic, and a 2 KByte one-time-programmable Security ID space with factory-preprogrammed 64-bit unique identifier.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (2 MByte) organized in uniform 4 KByte sectors and overlay blocks |
| Max Clock Frequency | 104 MHz at 2.7–3.6 V; enables 416 MB/s effective throughput in SQI x4 mode |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.3–3.6 V single supply; supports low-voltage operation down to 2.3 V with reduced max frequency (80 MHz) |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles minimum; >100 years data retention at 85°C |
| Active Read Current | 15 mA typical at 104 MHz - critical for power-constrained embedded systems |
| Standby Current | 15 µA typical - enables ultra-low-power sleep states in battery-powered devices |
| Erase Time | 18 ms typical sector/64 KByte block erase; 35 ms typical chip erase |
| Page Program Size | 256 bytes per page in x1 or x4 mode - balances write granularity and efficiency |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-contact WDFN (6 mm × 5 mm), RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature grade (−40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must remain low during full command sequence including address/data transfer |
| SIO[3:0] / SI/SO / WP#/HOLD# | Quad I/O / SPI Data / Protection Control | Multiplexed serial I/O pins; default SPI mode uses SI/SO; EQIO command enables quad I/O; WP# and HOLD# share pins in SPI mode only |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Timing reference for all serial transfers; rising edge latches input, falling edge outputs data |
| VDD | Power Supply | Primary 2.3–3.6 V supply rail; decoupling required near pin for noise immunity |
| VSS | Ground | Reference ground for all I/O and internal circuitry; low-impedance connection essential |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Serial Quad I/O™ Interface | Enables 4× data bandwidth over SPI at same clock frequency - reduces timing margin pressure in high-speed designs |
| Flexible Erase Architecture | Uniform 4 KByte sectors plus 8×8 KByte, 2×32 KByte, and 30×64 KByte overlay blocks - supports fine-grained firmware partitioning |
| Write-Suspend Capability | Allows interrupting active program/erase to service urgent reads - improves real-time system responsiveness |
| OTP Security ID | 2 KByte area with factory-programmed 64-bit unique ID and user-programmable region - enables secure device authentication and binding |
| Hardware Write Protection | WP# pin + WPEN/IOC bits enable robust, pin-level protection of configuration and protection registers - prevents accidental corruption during field updates |
| Deep Power-Down Mode | B9H command reduces current to <1 µA - extends battery life in always-on IoT endpoints |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winbond W25Q16JVSNIQ | 16 Mbit SPI-only (no SQI); 133 MHz max; 4 KByte sectors; no OTP Security ID | Lacks quad I/O performance boost and hardware-based security features | Select when SQI bandwidth is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs security requirements |
| Cypress S25FL116K0XMFI011 | 16 Mbit SPI/QPI; 85 MHz max; 4 KByte sectors; no OTP ID; different command set | Requires firmware adaptation for QPI mode; lacks dedicated Security ID and write-suspend | Choose for legacy Cypress ecosystem integration where SQI is not required |
Compared with SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO, W25Q16JVSNIQ offers higher SPI clock speed but omits SQI acceleration and security features, while S25FL116K0XMFI011 provides QPI compatibility at lower frequency and lacks OTP-based device identity - making SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO uniquely suited for secure, high-throughput embedded boot applications.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO?
The SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the official Microchip datasheet DS20005262F and applies to the MF70SVAO suffix variant. It does not support extended (−40°C to +125°C) or automotive (−40°C to +105°C) grades - those require different part number suffixes.
Does SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO support both SPI and SQI protocols?
Yes, SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO supports both protocols. It powers up in standard SPI mode (x1/x2) for backward compatibility and can be configured into SQI mode using the EQIO command. In SQI mode, it uses SIO[3:0] for quad-data-rate transfers, delivering up to 416 MB/s effective bandwidth at 104 MHz - a 4× improvement over SPI x1 mode.
What package type is used for SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO?
SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO uses an 8-contact WDFN package measuring 6 mm × 5 mm. This is explicitly stated in the "Packages Available" section of the datasheet and confirmed by the "MF70SVAO" suffix, where "MF" denotes WDFN. It is not offered in SOIC or SOIJ variants under this specific part number.
How does the Security ID feature work in SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO?
The SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO includes a 2 KByte Security ID area comprising a factory-programmed 64-bit unique identifier and a user-programmable segment. The PSID command writes to the user area; LSID locks the entire space permanently. Once locked, no further writes are possible - ensuring cryptographic binding of firmware to hardware identity.
Can SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO be used in automotive applications?
Yes - SST26VF016BT-104V/MF70SVAO is AEC-Q100 qualified, as documented in the "Features" section of DS20005262F. However, its MF70SVAO suffix specifies industrial temperature grade (−40°C to +85°C), not automotive grade (−40°C to +105°C). For full automotive thermal compliance, a different suffix (e.g., "MA") would be required - verify qualification scope per application requirements.
