Product details
Overview
SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM from Microchip Technology is a 32-Mbit Serial Quad I/O™ (SQI™) Flash memory IC designed for high-speed, low-pin-count embedded storage. It operates at 104 MHz (2.7–3.6 V), supports x1/x2/x4 SPI and quad I/O protocols, features uniform 4-Kbyte sectors, and delivers 100,000 program/erase cycles with >100-year data retention. It is used in boot code storage for industrial microcontrollers requiring fast, reliable nonvolatile memory.
For engineers reviewing the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM datasheet, SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM pinout, SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM application, or SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-mode interface (SPI/SQI), flexible block protection architecture, 8-lead SOIJ package compatibility, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
This device implements a six-wire, 4-bit multiplexed I/O interface supporting both traditional SPI (Mode 0/3) and SQI protocols - enabling up to 4× throughput versus standard SPI at identical clock frequency. Its SuperFlash® technology uses split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling for enhanced endurance and reduced erase energy.
The SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM defaults to Quad I/O mode at power-up (IOC = 1), disabling WP# and HOLD# while enabling SIO2/SIO3. It integrates a 18-bit Block Protection Register, nonvolatile Write Lock Lock-Down Register (nVWLDR), and 2-Kbyte Security ID with factory-programmed 64-bit unique identifier and user-programmable area.

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 W25Q32JVSIQ | 32 Mbit, 133 MHz max, standard SPI only (no SQI), no Security ID, 100K endurance | Lacks quad I/O acceleration and hardware security features; suited for cost-sensitive, non-secure designs | Select when SQI bandwidth and device identity are unnecessary and BOM cost is primary constraint |
| Cypress S25FL132K0XMFI011 | 32 Mbit, 104 MHz, supports octal DTR mode, no nVWLDR or OTP Security ID, industrial temp | Offers higher theoretical bandwidth via octal mode but requires more PCB routing; lacks permanent lock-down capability | Choose for systems needing future upgrade path to octal interfaces, where permanent block lock-down is not required |
Compared with W25Q32JVSIQ and S25FL132K0XMFI011, the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM uniquely combines SQI performance, factory-unique Security ID, and nonvolatile write-lock lock-down - making it optimal for secure, high-reliability industrial firmware storage where update integrity and device authenticity are mandatory.

FAQ
What interface modes does the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM support, and how is mode selection controlled?
The SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM supports both standard SPI (x1/x2) and Serial Quad I/O™ (SQI) modes. Mode selection is determined by the I/O Configuration (IOC) bit in the Configuration register: IOC = 0 enables SPI mode with WP# and HOLD# functionality; IOC = 1 enables SQI mode with SIO2/SIO3 active. The SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM ships with IOC = 1 preconfigured, so it powers up in SQI mode unless reprogrammed. Commands like EQIO (38H) and SQOR (6BH) require IOC = 1 to execute.
How does the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM implement hardware write protection, and what is the role of the WP# pin?
The SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM implements hardware write protection through coordinated use of the WP# pin, WPEN bit (nonvolatile), and IOC bit. When IOC = 0 and WPEN = 1, asserting WP# low disables writes to the Block Protection and Configuration registers. The SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM defaults to IOC = 1, so WP# is disabled at power-up; to enable it, the IOC bit must first be cleared to 0. WP# has no effect on memory array writes - only on protection register writes.
What is the purpose and structure of the Security ID feature in the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM?
The SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM includes a 2-Kbyte Security ID (Sec ID) space divided into a factory-programmed 64-bit unique identifier (immutable) and a user-programmable area. The Sec ID is programmed using the PSID command and permanently locked via the LSID command, which sets the SEC bit in the STATUS register to '1' irreversibly. This enables device-specific authentication and secure key binding - critical for anti-cloning and trusted firmware deployment in the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM.
Can the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM suspend an ongoing erase or program operation, and how is this managed?
Yes, the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM supports write-suspend functionality via the WRSU command. Issuing WRSU during an active erase or program operation halts it, allowing immediate access to other memory regions for time-critical reads. The suspended operation resumes upon receipt of WRRE. Status bits WSE (bit 2) and WSP (bit 3) in the STATUS register indicate suspension state. This capability is essential for deterministic real-time behavior in systems using the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM for boot code and runtime data.
What package and temperature grade is specified for the SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM, and how does it differ from other variants in the SST26VF032B family?
The SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM uses an 8-lead SOIJ package (5.28 mm) and is rated for the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). The "I" suffix denotes industrial grade; "T" indicates tape-and-reel packaging; "-104" specifies 104 MHz maximum clock speed at 2.7–3.6 V. Unlike the "B" variant (which powers up in SPI mode), the "BA" variant - including SST26VF032BAT-104I/SM - powers up in SQI mode (IOC = 1), disabling WP#/HOLD# and enabling SIO2/SIO3 by default.
