Product details
Overview
SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Silicon Storage Technology) is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC with 55 ns read access time, operating at 3.0–3.6 V, and packaged in a 32-lead TSOP (8 mm × 14 mm). It delivers byte-program capability, sector-erase functionality, and JEDEC-standard x8 pinout for embedded firmware storage in microcontroller-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T datasheet, SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T pinout, SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T application, or SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 55 ns read timing, 3.0–3.6 V single-supply operation, 4 KB uniform sector architecture, SuperFlash reliability (100,000 program/erase cycles), and RoHS-compliant TSOP packaging suitable for space-constrained industrial PCBs.
Technical Context
The SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T implements SST's proprietary SuperFlash technology with split-gate cell design and thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. It supports standard microprocessor bus interfacing via CE#, OE#, and WE# control signals with latched address/data inputs.
It uses JEDEC-standard command sets-including three-byte software data protection for byte-program and six-byte sequences for sector/chip-erase-and provides dual end-of-write detection via Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6), eliminating need for external wait-state logic in host systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (128K × 8), directly replaces EPROMs and older parallel NOR flash in boot code storage |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in 14 MHz system buses without wait states |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic rails; no separate VPP required due to internal charge pump |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - supports field firmware updates over full product lifecycle |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term integrity of stored configuration or calibration data |

| DQ0–DQ7 | Data Input/Output | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low device select; disables outputs and reduces current to 1 µA in standby |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus visibility without affecting internal state |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for byte-program and erase command latching |
| VDD | Power Supply | 3.0–3.6 V supply; powers internal charge pump for erase/program operations |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and core logic |
| NC | No Connection | Pins 12, 13, 28, 29 - unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Split-gate cells with thick-oxide injector enable fixed 18 ms sector-erase and 70 ms chip-erase times across full endurance life |
| Hardware + Software Data Protection | Glitch immunity (<5 ns pulses rejected), VDD power-up/down detection, and mandatory 3-byte unlock sequence prevent accidental writes |
| End-of-Write Detection | DQ7 (Data# Polling) and DQ6 (Toggle Bit) provide software-controlled status polling without external hardware |
| JEDEC x8 Standard Compliance | Pinout and command set match industry-standard parallel NOR flash, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy designs |
| Low-Energy Erase/Program | Reduced current draw and shorter timing vs. conventional flash lowers total energy per operation by >40% (per datasheet analysis) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV160ETTI-70G | 16 Mbit density, 70 ns access, 2.7–3.6 V supply; requires different sector map and command set | Higher density suits larger boot images but lacks 55 ns timing for latency-critical XIP | Select only if board layout accommodates larger 48-pin TSOP and firmware supports MXIC command protocol |
| EN29LV010 | 1 Mbit, 70 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; no SuperFlash reliability enhancements; 10,000-cycle endurance rating | Lower endurance and slower timing limit use in frequently updated systems | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, static firmware deployments where 100,000-cycle lifetime is not required |
Compared with MX29LV160ETTI-70G and EN29LV010, the SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T uniquely combines 55 ns speed, 100,000-cycle endurance, and true JEDEC x8 compatibility-making it optimal for legacy-compatible, latency-sensitive, and long-life embedded firmware storage where pinout and timing margins are constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T?
The SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T does not use a clock signal-it operates asynchronously with CE#, OE#, and WE# control lines. Its 55 ns read access time supports reliable operation with microcontrollers running up to 14 MHz bus frequencies without wait states. The device's timing is defined by setup/hold parameters (e.g., TAA = 55 ns, TOE = 30 ns), not a clock domain. SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T integrates no internal oscillator or PLL and relies entirely on external bus timing compliance.
Does SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T support sector-erase only, or also chip-erase?
SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T supports both sector-erase and chip-erase operations. Sector-erase targets uniform 4 KB blocks using a six-byte command sequence with address and 30H command; chip-erase clears the full 128K × 8 array using a six-byte sequence ending with 10H. Typical sector-erase time is 18 ms and chip-erase is 70 ms-both guaranteed and fixed across the full endurance life due to SuperFlash technology. SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T does not support block-erase or partial-array erase beyond these two modes.
Is SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T compatible with 5 V microcontrollers?
No, SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T is strictly a 3.0–3.6 V device and is not 5 V tolerant. Its absolute maximum input voltage is VDD + 0.5 V, and VIH is specified as 0.7×VDD (min 2.1 V at 3.0 V). Direct connection to 5 V logic will damage the device. Level translation (e.g., TXB0108 or discrete MOSFET buffers) is required for interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers. SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T shares no pin-level compatibility with 5 V flash families like AT29C010.
How is write protection implemented on SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T?
SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T implements dual-layer write protection: hardware-level noise/glitch rejection (ignores WE#/CE# pulses <5 ns), VDD power-up/down detection (inhibits writes below 1.5 V), and software-level JEDEC-compliant three-byte unlock sequence (5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/A0H) for byte-program. Sector/chip-erase requires a six-byte sequence. SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T ships with software data protection permanently enabled-no factory default unprotected state exists.
What package variant does SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T use, and is it lead-free?
SST39LF010-55-4C-WHE-T uses the 32-lead TSOP (8 mm × 14 mm) package with "WHE" suffix denoting this variant; it is RoHS-compliant and lead-free per Microchip's DS25023B datasheet. The "-4C" indicates commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), and "-55" specifies 55 ns access time. This TSOP variant is distinct from the PLCC option (e.g., SST39LF010-55-4C-PHE-T) and requires dedicated land pattern per Microchip's AN1234 layout guidelines.
