Product details
Overview
SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE 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, single 3.0–3.6 V supply for both read and write operations, and JEDEC-standard x8 parallel interface. It features uniform 4 KB sectors, 100,000 program/erase cycles endurance, and >100 years data retention - deployed in embedded firmware storage, BIOS/UEFI code storage, and industrial controller configuration memory.
For engineers reviewing the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE datasheet, SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE pinout, SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE application, or SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin PLCC package, 55 ns read timing, hardware/software data protection, sector-erase capability, and compatibility with legacy 8-bit microcontroller bus interfaces requiring nonvolatile program storage with low standby current (1 µA typical).
Technical Context
This device implements SST's proprietary SuperFlash technology with split-gate cell architecture and thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count - unlike conventional flash where timing degrades over endurance life. It supports standard JEDEC command sets (e.g., 6-byte sector-erase sequence: 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/80H → 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → SAX/30H) and uses DQ6 toggle bit or DQ7 data# polling for end-of-write detection.
Operation requires only three control signals (CE#, OE#, WE#) and latched address/data buses. The 32-pin PLCC package maps A0–A16 (17 address lines), DQ0–DQ7 (8 bidirectional data lines), and dedicated control pins - supporting byte-program (14 µs typical), sector-erase (18 ms typical), and chip-erase (70 ms typical) with internal VPP generation and automatic write timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (128K × 8) - supports full firmware image storage for 8-bit MCUs with ≤128 KB code space. |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns - enables direct execution (XIP) from flash at up to ~14 MHz bus clock without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V - single-supply operation compatible with 3.3 V logic systems; no auxiliary VPP required. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - sufficient for field firmware updates over 10+ years in industrial controllers. |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications like calibration tables. |
| Standby Current | 1 µA typical - minimizes power draw in battery-backed or energy-sensitive embedded systems. |
| Package | 32-lead PLCC (NHE suffix) - surface-mountable, RoHS-compliant, with industry-standard footprint and thermal profile. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), 11.43 mm × 13.97 mm body, J-lead, RoHS compliant (NHE suffix). Pin 1 index corner marked with notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus (A0 LSB to A16 MSB); A16 selects sector during sector-erase (4 KB granularity). |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data Input/Output | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high; DQ6 = Toggle Bit, DQ7 = Data# Polling. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low device select; must be low for read/write; high puts device in 1 µA standby mode. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; used with CE# to enable read access. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write control; initiates byte-program, sector-erase, or chip-erase via command sequences. |
| VDD | Power Supply | 3.0–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and charge pump; internal VPP generated for programming. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference ground for all I/O and core circuitry; decoupling capacitor required near pin. |
| NC | No Connection | Pins 12, 13, 24, 31 are unconnected; must be left floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Split-gate cell with thick-oxide injector delivers stable 55 ns read timing and fixed 14 µs byte-program time across full 100k-cycle life. |
| Hardware + Software Data Protection | Glitch immunity (<5 ns), VDD power-up/down detection, and mandatory 3-byte (program) / 6-byte (erase) JEDEC command sequences prevent accidental writes. |
| Sector-Erase Architecture | 32 uniform 4 KB sectors allow selective firmware update without erasing entire memory - critical for fail-safe OTA updates. |
| End-of-Write Detection | DQ6 toggle bit and DQ7 data# polling provide software-controlled, deterministic completion signaling - eliminates need for fixed delay loops. |
| JEDEC x8 Standard Compliance | Pinout and command set match industry-standard parallel NOR flash, enabling drop-in replacement in legacy 8-bit designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM29LV010B-55EC | 55 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V, 1 Mbit, 32-pin PLCC - but uses AMD command set and lacks SuperFlash fixed-timing guarantee. | Requires different initialization sequence; may need firmware adaptation for erase/write status polling. | Choose if existing design already uses AMD-compatible flash and timing margin allows variable erase time. |
| MX29LV010CTTI-55G | 55 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V, 1 Mbit, 32-pin TSOP - same JEDEC command set, but TSOP-32 (not PLCC) and higher standby current (30 µA vs. 1 µA). | Requires PCB redesign for TSOP footprint; less suitable for low-power battery-backed applications. | Choose for space-constrained layouts where PLCC height is prohibitive and power budget allows. |
Compared with AM29LV010B-55EC and MX29LV010CTTI-55G, the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE offers superior low-power standby (1 µA), guaranteed fixed program/erase timing across endurance life, and native PLCC packaging - making it optimal for legacy industrial systems prioritizing reliability, power efficiency, and drop-in compatibility.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE?
The SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. Its 'I' suffix denotes industrial-grade screening, but per the official datasheet (DS25023B), this specific variant is specified only for the commercial range - unlike SST39VF-series parts which offer -40°C to +85°C. Always verify ambient conditions against this limit in your SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE design.
Does the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No, the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE does not require an external VPP voltage. It integrates an internal charge pump that generates the necessary high-voltage programming signal from the single 3.0–3.6 V VDD supply. This simplifies system design by eliminating external high-voltage circuitry - a key feature confirmed in the datasheet's "Automatic Write Timing" section and AC characteristics table.
How many address lines does the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE use, and what is the maximum addressable space?
The SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE uses 17 address lines (A0 through A16), supporting a total of 131,072 (128K) addresses. With an 8-bit data bus (DQ0–DQ7), this yields exactly 1 Mbit (128K × 8) of memory space. This matches the device's organization as stated in the datasheet's Product Description and Pin Description sections - no address lines beyond A16 are used or functional.
Can the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE be used as a direct replacement for the SST39LF010-55-4C-NHE?
Yes, the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE is functionally identical to the SST39LF010-55-4C-NHE except for temperature grade: 'C' denotes commercial (0°C to +70°C), while 'I' indicates industrial screening. However, the official datasheet confirms both share identical electrical specifications, timing, pinout, and command set. The 'I' version undergoes additional testing for robustness but operates within the same commercial temperature range - making it a safe, enhanced-reliability drop-in option for SST39LF010-55-4C-NHE designs.
What command sequence is required to perform a sector erase on the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE?
To perform a sector erase on the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE, execute the six-byte JEDEC command sequence: write AAH to address 5555H, then 55H to address 2AAAH, then 80H to address 5555H, then AAH to address 5555H, then 55H to address 2AAAH, and finally 30H to the target sector address (SAX). This is explicitly defined in Table 4 of the DS25023B datasheet and applies identically to the SST39LF010-55-4I-NHE as a member of the SST39LF010 family.
