Product details
Overview
SST38VF6402B-70I/CD from Microchip Technology is a 64 Mbit (4M x16) CMOS Advanced Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC, organized as 4 million 16-bit words, operating from a single 2.7–3.6V supply. It delivers 70 ns read access time, 25 ns page read access, and supports hardware boot block protection with WP# pin-used in embedded firmware storage, BIOS/UEFI code retention, and industrial controller program memory.
For engineers reviewing the SST38VF6402B-70I/CD datasheet, SST38VF6402B-70I/CD pinout, SST38VF6402B-70I/CD application, or SST38VF6402B-70I/CD equivalent, key selection criteria include boot block configuration (top vs. bottom), uniform 32 KWord erase granularity, 128-bit unique ID for device authentication, and compatibility with JEDEC-standard x16 flash command sets and CFI.
Technical Context
The SST38VF6402B-70I/CD implements SuperFlash split-gate cell technology with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. Its architecture supports both standard Word-Program (7 μs typical) and Write-Buffer Programming (1.75 μs/word typical) with a 16-word buffer.
It features dual status detection (DQ6 toggle bit, DQ7 data# polling) plus RY/BY# output for real-time operation monitoring, and integrates hardware reset (RST#), write protect (WP#), and auto low-power mode (5 μA standby) for robust system-level integration in resource-constrained environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 4M x16 (64 Mbit); enables 16-bit parallel data bus interface with full addressability up to A21. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns; determines minimum clock-to-data timing for synchronous microprocessor interfaces. |
| Page Read Access | 25 ns per word (8-word page); reduces average latency when fetching consecutive instructions or data blocks. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles; ensures long-term reliability in field-updatable firmware applications. |
| Data Retention | Greater than 100 years; guarantees nonvolatile storage integrity without refresh in powered-off systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V; compatible with modern low-voltage 3.3V logic domains and eliminates need for level shifters. |
| Active Current | 25 mA typical at 5 MHz; defines peak power draw during sustained read operations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) - surface-mount, JEDEC-standard footprint with 0.5 mm lead pitch, suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A21 | Address Inputs | 22-bit address bus supporting full 4M-word addressing; AMS = A21 for block selection during erase. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus with internal latching; tri-stated when CE# or OE# is high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables device for read/write when low; places device in standby when high. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive without affecting internal state or power mode. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Controls write strobe timing; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per JEDEC command protocol. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Hardware boot block lock; grounded to protect top boot block (B127) from accidental erase/program. |
| RST# | Reset | Hardware reset input; returns device to read mode and clears internal command states. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy | Open-drain status output; low during active program/erase; used for hardware flow control. |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V core and I/O supply; decoupling required per layout guidelines. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference ground for all signals and power; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
| NC | No Connection | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid signal integrity issues. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Protection | Top-boot configuration (B127 protected via WP#); prevents corruption of critical startup code during field updates. |
| 128-bit Unique ID | Factory-programmed serial number; enables secure device identification and firmware binding in multi-unit deployments. |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows temporary interruption of block erase to service read/program requests elsewhere-critical for real-time OS coexistence. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Enters 5 μA standby after valid read access; eliminates software-controlled power management overhead. |
| CFI Compliance | Supports Common Flash Interface standard; enables automatic parameter discovery and vendor-agnostic driver support. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF6402B-70I/CD | Same 4M x16 organization and SuperFlash tech, but uses different command set and lacks CFI compliance. | Not suitable where automatic parameter discovery or standardized flash drivers are required. | Select only if legacy SST39-series firmware and toolchain compatibility is mandatory. |
| MX29LV640EBTI-70G | 64 Mbit x16, 70 ns access, but uses traditional floating-gate architecture with higher program current and cycle-dependent timing. | Lower endurance (100K vs. 100K same, but degrades faster), no auto low-power mode, no 128-bit ID. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs long-term reliability and advanced power features. |
Compared with SST38VF6402B-70I/CD, SST39VF6402B-70I/CD requires firmware adaptation due to non-CFI command structure, while MX29LV640EBTI-70G lacks hardware reset and unique ID-making SST38VF6402B-70I/CD preferable for secure, long-lifecycle, and power-aware designs.

FAQ
What is the boot block configuration of the SST38VF6402B-70I/CD?
The SST38VF6402B-70I/CD implements a top-boot configuration: the highest-addressed block (B127, 32 KWord) serves as the protected boot block. When WP# is grounded, this block is hardware-locked against erase and program operations-ensuring bootloader integrity during system updates. This differs from SST38VF6401B, which uses bottom-boot (B0).
Does the SST38VF6402B-70I/CD support CFI and JEDEC standards?
Yes, the SST38VF6402B-70I/CD is fully CFI (Common Flash Interface) compliant and conforms to JEDEC standard pinouts and command sets for x16 memories. This enables automatic parameter detection by host systems and ensures interoperability with industry-standard flash programming tools and drivers without custom configuration.
What is the purpose of the RY/BY# pin on the SST38VF6402B-70I/CD?
The RY/BY# (Ready/Busy) pin on the SST38VF6402B-70I/CD is an open-drain output that goes low during active program or erase operations and returns high upon completion. It provides hardware-level flow control, allowing the host processor to pause other tasks until the flash operation finishes-eliminating the need for continuous software polling of status bits like DQ6 or DQ7.
How does the Auto Low Power mode function in the SST38VF6402B-70I/CD?
The SST38VF6402B-70I/CD enters Auto Low Power mode automatically after a valid read access, reducing active current from 25 mA to 5 μA. It exits instantly (<100 ns) on any address or control signal transition-no wake-up delay or command sequence required. This feature cuts dynamic power in intermittently accessed firmware storage without software intervention.
Can the SST38VF6402B-70I/CD be used in place of SST38VF6401B-70I/CD?
No-SST38VF6402B-70I/CD and SST38VF6401B-70I/CD differ in boot block location (top vs. bottom) and associated protection mapping. While pinout and electrical specs match, firmware relying on B0 protection will fail on SST38VF6402B-70I/CD, and vice versa. They are not drop-in replacements; board-level validation and firmware update are required for substitution.
