Product details
Overview
SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T from Microchip Technology is an 8 Mbit (512K x 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC using SuperFlash technology, operating at 3.0–3.6V with 55 ns read access time, 100,000 program/erase cycles endurance, and >100 years data retention. It serves as nonvolatile code/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring field-upgradable firmware.
For engineers reviewing the SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T datasheet, SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T pinout, SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T application, or SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T equivalent, key selection criteria include JEDEC-standard x16 asynchronous interface compatibility, sector/block erase granularity (2 KWord / 32 KWord), toggle-bit/data# polling status detection, and TSOP-48 package suitability for space-constrained industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements a split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program timing independent of cycle count-unlike conventional flash technologies where timing degrades over endurance life. Its command-set follows JEDEC-standard pinouts and software protocols including CFI Query and Software ID Entry.
It supports three erase modes-sector (2 KWord), block (32 KWord), and chip-wide-with uniform timing: 18 ms typical for sector/block erase and 70 ms for chip erase. Word-program time is 14 µs typical, with automatic internal VPP generation eliminating external high-voltage requirements.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T | 2.7–3.6V supply range; identical density, timing, and pinout; lower Vmin enables wider input rail tolerance | Preferred in battery-powered or wide-input-range systems where 2.7V brownout must be supported | Select SST39VF800A if system VDD can dip below 3.0V; otherwise SST39LF800A offers tighter 3.0–3.6V regulation margin |
| MX29LV800CTTI-55G | 55 ns access, 8 Mbit x16, 3.0–3.6V, but uses different command set (non-JEDEC CFI) and lacks toggle-bit polling | Requires custom driver adaptation; no hardware-compatible replacement due to differing status detection method | Only consider MX29LV800CTTI-55G if existing firmware already implements its specific polling algorithm and layout allows same 48-pin TSOP footprint |
Compared with SST39VF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T, the SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T trades wider voltage flexibility for tighter 3.0V minimum regulation-ideal for stable 3.3V rails. Versus MX29LV800CTTI-55G, it offers JEDEC-standard command compatibility and dual-status detection, reducing firmware porting effort despite identical packaging and speed.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T?
The SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T is specified for commercial temperature range: 0°C to +70°C. It is not rated for industrial (–40°C to +85°C) operation-this capability is exclusive to the SST39VF800A variant. Thermal derating beyond +70°C may impair data retention or increase bit-error rates, so system-level thermal design must maintain junction temperature within this limit during active read/write cycles.
Does SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No, the SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T does not require an external VPP voltage. It integrates an internal charge pump that generates the high voltage needed for erase and program operations from the standard 3.0–3.6V VDD supply. This eliminates the need for external high-voltage circuitry, simplifying board design and reducing BOM cost compared to older flash technologies.
How many erase sectors does SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T have, and what is their size?
The SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T contains 256 uniform erase sectors, each sized at 2 KWords (4 KBytes). This is confirmed by CFI geometry table entry at address 2DH–30H, where y = 255 (→ 256 sectors) and z = 16 (→ 16 × 256 Bytes = 4 KBytes/sector). Sector addressing uses AMS–A11 (A18–A11 for this 8 Mbit part), enabling precise firmware partitioning.
Is SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T pin-compatible with SST39LF400A or SST39LF200A?
Yes, SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T is pin-compatible with SST39LF400A and SST39LF200A in the same 48-lead TSOP package. All share identical pinout, voltage range, and command set. The only differences are internal address depth (A18 vs A17/A16) and sector/block count-handled transparently by the host software via JEDEC-standard CFI queries or hardcoded geometry.
What command sequence initiates Chip-Erase on SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T?
The Chip-Erase command sequence for SST39LF800A-55-4C-B3KE-T is six bus cycles: write 0xAA to address 0x5555, 0x55 to 0x2AAA, 0x80 to 0x5555, 0xAA to 0x5555, 0x55 to 0x2AAA, then 0x10 to 0x5555. This sequence is identical across all SST39LF/VF parts. The internal chip-erase completes in 70 ms typical, and status is verified via DQ6 toggle-bit or DQ7 data# polling after the sixth WE# pulse.
