Product details
Overview
SST26WF016BA-104I/MF from Microchip Technology is a 1.8V, 16 Mbit Serial Quad I/O (SQI) flash memory IC with 104 MHz max clock frequency, 4 KByte uniform sector erase, and 256-byte page programming. It operates within -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and supports both SPI and SQI protocols in an 8-contact WDFN (6 mm × 5 mm) package for embedded boot code and firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the SST26WF016BA-104I/MF datasheet, SST26WF016BA-104I/MF pinout, SST26WF016BA-104I/MF application, or SST26WF016BA-104I/MF equivalent, key selection criteria include quad-I/O throughput at 104 MHz, hardware write-protection disable-by-default behavior, deep power-down current of 2.5 μA, and factory-configured IOC=1 enabling SIO[3:0] multiplexing without hold/write-protect pin activation.
Technical Context
The SST26WF016BA-104I/MF implements a six-wire SQI interface with four multiplexed bidirectional data lines (SIO[3:0]), supporting Mode 0 and Mode 3 clock polarity/phase configurations. Its SuperFlash® technology enables 18 ms typical sector erase and 35 ms typical chip erase with 100,000 program/erase cycles endurance.
Unlike the SST26WF016B variant, the SST26WF016BA-104I/MF ships with IOC=1 and WPEN=0 at power-up-disabling WP# and HOLD# pins by default and enabling quad I/O mode immediately after reset. It features a 48-bit Block-Protection Register with OTP nVWLDR lock-down capability and a 2 KByte Security ID space containing factory-programmed 64-bit unique identifier.

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 W25Q16JWIM (16 Mbit, 1.6–1.95 V) | Supports octal DTR mode up to 133 MHz; lacks factory-configured IOC=1 and integrated Security ID | Better suited for high-throughput streaming applications; no built-in secure ID for device binding | Select if maximum sequential read bandwidth is prioritized over out-of-box security features |
| Cypress S25FL116K0XMFI011 (16 Mbit, 2.7–3.6 V) | Higher 3.3 V supply; supports 80 MHz SPI but no SQI; includes 64-bit unique ID but no user-programmable Security ID space | Requires level-shifting for 1.8 V systems; limited to legacy SPI interfaces | Select only for existing 3.3 V designs needing pin-compatible replacement without voltage translation |
Compared with Winbond W25Q16JWIM and Cypress S25FL116K0XMFI011, the SST26WF016BA-104I/MF delivers superior integration for secure, low-voltage embedded boot-combining factory-enabled SQI, 2 KByte programmable Security ID, and 2.5 μA deep power-down in a single 1.8 V package.

FAQ
What is the default I/O configuration of SST26WF016BA-104I/MF at power-up?
The SST26WF016BA-104I/MF powers up with IOC=1 and WPEN=0, disabling WP# and HOLD# pins and enabling immediate SQI x4 operation on SIO[3:0]. This differs from the SST26WF016B variant, which defaults to IOC=0 and requires software configuration to enter SQI mode. The SST26WF016BA-104I/MF thus eliminates boot-time initialization steps for quad I/O use cases.
Does SST26WF016BA-104I/MF support both SPI and SQI protocols simultaneously?
No-SST26WF016BA-104I/MF operates in either SPI mode (x1/x2/x4) or SQI mode (x4), selected via the IOC bit in the Configuration Register. With IOC=1 (default), only SQI commands like RBSQI (0CH) and SQIOR (EBH) are valid; SPI-only commands such as Read Memory (03H) remain functional but do not leverage quad I/O bandwidth. Mode switching requires explicit register writes and is not concurrent.
How does the Security ID feature work in SST26WF016BA-104I/MF?
The SST26WF016BA-104I/MF includes a 2 KByte Security ID space: 64 bits factory-programmed with a unique identifier (read-only) and a user-programmable area. The PSID command writes to the user area; LSID permanently locks the entire space. Once locked, SEC=1 in the Status Register and no further writes are possible. This enables secure device binding and cryptographic key storage without external secure elements.
What is the significance of the "-104" suffix in SST26WF016BA-104I/MF?
The "-104" denotes the maximum clock frequency rating: 104 MHz for high-speed read and quad page program operations. This distinguishes it from slower variants like -085 (85 MHz) and confirms timing compliance for 104 MHz SCK operation under specified VDD (1.65–1.95 V) and temperature (-40°C to +85°C) conditions per DS20005013D.
Can SST26WF016BA-104I/MF be used as a direct replacement for SST26WF016B-104I/MF?
No-while pin-compatible and electrically identical, SST26WF016BA-104I/MF and SST26WF016B-104I/MF differ in factory default register states: BA has IOC=1/WPEN=0 (WP#/HOLD# disabled), whereas B has IOC=0/WPEN=0 (WP#/HOLD# enabled). Substituting BA for B may cause unexpected hold/write-protect behavior unless firmware explicitly configures IOC and WPEN to match legacy expectations.
