Product details
Overview
SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE from Microchip Technology is a 64 Mbit (4M × 16) CMOS Advanced Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC, designed for nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded systems. It operates from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply, delivers 90 ns read access time and 25 ns page read access, and supports hardware boot block protection with WP# pin. It is used in industrial controllers requiring field-upgradable firmware with high endurance and long data retention.
For engineers reviewing the SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE datasheet, SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE pinout, SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE application, or SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE equivalent, key selection criteria include boot block location (B127), uniform 32 KWord block erase capability, TSOP-48 package compatibility, and support for Write-Buffer Programming with 1.75 µs/word throughput.
Technical Context
The SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE implements SuperFlash technology with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. Its JEDEC-standard x16 interface uses latched address/data with CMOS I/O compatibility and CFI compliance.
It features dual status detection (DQ6 toggle bit and DQ7 data# polling), RY/BY# output for hardware-ready signaling, and Erase-Suspend/-Resume functionality for concurrent read/program during erase operations. Boot block protection is implemented via hardware WP# pin and software-controlled individual block locking.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 64 Mbit (4M × 16 organization), providing 8 MB of nonvolatile storage for firmware or configuration data. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns (max), enabling direct execution from flash in timing-critical microcontroller applications. |
| Page Read Time | 25 ns per word (4-word page), reducing average instruction fetch latency in burst-read scenarios. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles minimum, supporting frequent firmware updates over product lifetime. |
| Data Retention | Greater than 100 years at +25°C, ensuring long-term reliability without refresh in unpowered storage. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V single supply, compatible with modern low-voltage embedded power rails and eliminating need for charge pumps. |
| Write Buffer Size | 16-word buffer, enabling 1.75 µs/word effective programming rate and reducing host CPU overhead during bulk writes. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard JEDEC x16 memory footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A21 | Address Inputs | 22-bit address bus (AMS1–A0) selecting 4M × 16 locations; A21–A15 selects block, A21–A12 selects sector. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data Input/Output | 16-bit bidirectional data bus with tri-state outputs controlled by OE# and CE#; internally latched during write. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby mode when high, minimizing power consumption during idle periods. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive only when CE# is also low, enabling shared bus operation. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for write cycles; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per JEDEC command protocol. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Hardware boot block lock: grounded to protect B127 (top 32 KWord boot block) from accidental erase/program. |
| RST# | Reset | Active-low hardware reset that forces device into read mode, recovering from invalid command states. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Open-drain status signal indicating active program/erase (low); eliminates need for polling in interrupt-driven systems. |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply with dedicated ground pins; decoupling required per JEDEC layout guidelines. |
| NC | No Connection | Unbonded pin (A16 in TSOP); must remain floating-no external connection permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Configuration | B127 (top 32 KWord block) protected by WP# pin-enables secure bootloader storage with hardware-level write disable. |
| Write-Buffer Programming | 16-word buffer with 1.75 µs/word effective programming time-reduces host wait states and improves firmware update throughput. |
| Erase-Suspend/-Resume | Allows read/program to non-erasing sectors during active erase-enables real-time system responsiveness during background flash maintenance. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 4 mA to 3 µA after valid access-cuts dynamic power in intermittently accessed code storage. |
| Security-ID & OTP | 128-bit unique ID + 256-word user one-time-programmable area-supports device authentication and secure parameter binding. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST38VF6401-90-5C-B3KE | Boot block located at B0 (bottom 32 KWord); identical timing, endurance, and command set. | Requires inverted boot protection logic-suitable for legacy designs where bootloader resides at lowest address. | Select when bottom-boot architecture matches existing PCB layout and firmware initialization flow. |
| MX29LV640ETTI-90G | 64 Mbit x16, 90 ns access, but uses different command set (AMD/Fujitsu) and lacks Write-Buffer Programming. | No native page-read acceleration or Erase-Suspend; requires longer update windows and tighter timing margins. | Choose only if AMD-compatible ecosystem is mandated and reduced programming throughput is acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the boot block location for SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE?
The SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE features a top-boot configuration: its 32 KWord boot block occupies Block B127 (addresses A21–A15 = 1111111). This allows hardware write protection via the WP# pin and ensures bootloader integrity during firmware updates. The SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE datasheet confirms this mapping in Table 2, distinguishing it from the bottom-boot SST38VF6401 variant.
Does SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE support page read operations?
Yes, the SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE supports Page Read with a 4-word buffer and 25 ns access time per word. This mode enables faster sequential reads within the same page (A21–A2 constant), reducing average instruction fetch latency. The SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE implements this using asynchronous addressing with A1/A0 toggling, as specified in DS20005015D Section "Page Read".
What is the maximum operating voltage for SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE?
The SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE operates from a single 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply. Operation outside this range may cause data corruption or premature wear. The 90 ns read access time and all timing specifications-including Word-Program (7 µs) and Write-Buffer (1.75 µs/word)-are guaranteed only within this voltage window, as validated in DS20005015D AC Characteristics tables.
How does SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE indicate completion of a program operation?
The SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE provides three concurrent end-of-write detection methods: DQ7 Data# Polling, DQ6 Toggle Bit, and RY/BY# output. DQ7 returns complemented data until completion; DQ6 toggles during operation and stabilizes upon finish; RY/BY# goes high when ready. All three are valid after the fourth WE# pulse, as defined in DS20005015D Section "Write Operation Status Detection". The SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE supports any combination for robust host-side monitoring.
Is SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE is RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the DS20005015D datasheet introduction and packaging section. It meets Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for restriction of hazardous substances, including lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compounds. This compliance applies to both the 48-lead TSOP and 48-ball TFBGA variants of the SST38VF6402-90-5C-B3KE.
