Product details
Overview
SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD 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 2.7–3.6V supply, delivers 70 ns read access time, supports 100,000 erase/write cycles, and retains data for >100 years - enabling reliable firmware storage in industrial controllers and network boot applications.
For engineers reviewing the SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD datasheet, SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD pinout, SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD application, or SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block protection architecture, 16-word write-buffer programming (1.75 μs/word), erase-suspend/resume capability, and TSOP-48 package compatibility with legacy x16 memory interfaces.
Technical Context
This device implements SuperFlash split-gate cell technology for enhanced endurance and reduced energy per erase/program cycle. Its command-set conforms to JEDEC standard x16 flash pinouts and CFI, supporting hardware reset (RST#), write protect (WP#), and ready/busy (RY/BY#) signaling for robust system-level control.
The SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD features uniform 32 KWord block organization (128 blocks), with boot-block protection assigned to Block B127. It supports Page Read (25 ns per word, 8-word buffer), Word-Program (7 μs typical), and Block-Erase (18 ms typical), all verified via Data# Polling (DQ7), Toggle Bits (DQ6/DQ2), and RY/BY# output.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 64 Mbit (4M × 16), providing 8 MB of nonvolatile storage for firmware images or configuration tables. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - ensures compatibility with 14 MHz bus timing in legacy microcontroller interfaces. |
| Page Read Speed | 25 ns per word (8-word page) - accelerates sequential code fetch during boot or runtime execution. |
| Write Buffer Size | 16-word buffer - reduces host CPU overhead by batching writes; achieves 1.75 μs/word effective programming. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 cycles minimum / >100 years data retention - validated for long-life industrial deployments without refresh. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6V single supply - eliminates need for auxiliary voltage rails in 3.3V system designs. |
| Block Protection | Hardware boot-block (B127) + software individual-block lock - enables secure bootloader partitioning. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package), RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A21 | Address Inputs | 22-bit address bus (AMS = A21); selects 4M × 16 locations; A21–A15 define block address for erase operations. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; latched internally during write; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (5 μA) when high; required low for all operations. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; high disables outputs (high-Z state). |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for write/program/erase command latching; timing-critical for command sequence validity. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock for boot block (B127); prevents accidental erase/program when grounded. |
| RST# | Hardware Reset | Active-low signal forcing device into Read mode; used for recovery after power-up or error conditions. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy | Open-drain status indicator: low = active program/erase; high = operation complete or idle. |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6V core supply; powers logic and memory array; decoupling required per layout guidelines. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; requires low-impedance PCB connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows real-time read/program of non-erasing blocks during background erase - critical for multitasking firmware updates. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 25 mA to 5 μA after valid access - cuts quiescent power in always-on systems. |
| 128-bit Unique ID | Factory-programmed serial number enabling device authentication and secure firmware binding. |
| Security-ID OTP Area | 248-word one-time-programmable space for keys or calibration data - isolated from main array for tamper resistance. |
| CFI Compliance | Enables automatic detection and configuration by BIOS/bootloader without hard-coded timing or command tables. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF6402B-70-4C-EKE | Same 64 Mbit x16 density, 70 ns access, TSOP-48, but lacks RST# pin and erase-suspend feature. | Not suitable for systems requiring hardware reset recovery or concurrent read/erase operations. | Select only if RST# and erase-suspend are unused; verify WP#/block protection mapping matches B127 boot location. |
| MX29LV640ETTI-70G | 64 Mbit x16, 70 ns, TSOP-48, includes RST# and CFI, but endurance rated at 10,000 cycles (vs. 100,000) and no Auto Low Power mode. | Lower endurance limits field upgrade frequency; higher active current impacts battery-backed or low-power designs. | Prefer for cost-sensitive, low-cycle-count applications where 10k cycles suffice and 5 μA standby is not required. |
Compared with SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD, SST39VF6402B-70-4C-EKE omits critical reliability features (RST#, erase-suspend), while MX29LV640ETTI-70G trades endurance and ultra-low-power operation for broader vendor availability - making SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD optimal for long-life, safety-critical embedded firmware storage.

FAQ
What is the boot block configuration of SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD?
The SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD uses Block B127 (32 KWord) as its hardware boot block, protected by the WP# pin when grounded. This matches the SST38VF6402B memory map where B127 is designated as the top boot block with VPB/NVPB support and write-protection enablement - ensuring safe bootloader execution and firmware integrity.
Does SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD support Page Read, and what is its performance benefit?
Yes, SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD supports Page Read with 25 ns per word access across an 8-word page. This reduces average instruction fetch latency by ~64% versus standard 70 ns random reads, accelerating boot sequences and real-time code execution in microcontroller-based systems without requiring external cache.
How does the Write-Buffer Programming feature improve efficiency in SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD?
SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD's 16-word Write Buffer reduces effective programming time to 1.75 μs per word - over 4× faster than single-word programming (7 μs). This minimizes host CPU wait states during firmware updates and enables burst-write throughput up to 5.7 MB/s, significantly improving field upgrade speed and system responsiveness.
What protection mechanisms does SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD offer against accidental writes?
SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD provides three-tiered protection: (1) hardware WP# pin locking of boot block B127, (2) software-controlled individual 32 KWord block locking, and (3) password-protected access to protection registers. All are implemented on-die with no external components required, meeting IEC 62304 and ISO 26262 functional safety requirements.
Is SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD compatible with JEDEC-standard x16 flash interfaces?
Yes, SST38VF6402BT-70I/CD fully complies with JEDEC standard pinouts and command sets for x16 parallel flash memory, including CFI compliance. Its TSOP-48 footprint, address/data bus layout, and control signal timing (CE#, OE#, WE#, RY/BY#) match industry-standard 64 Mbit x16 flash sockets, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs.
