Product details
Overview
SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE from Microchip Technology is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC with 70 ns read access time, single 4.5V–5.5V supply operation, and uniform 4-Kbyte sector erase architecture. It delivers 100,000 program/erase cycles endurance, >100 years data retention, and supports TTL I/O compatibility for embedded firmware storage in industrial controllers and legacy BIOS systems.
For engineers reviewing the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE datasheet, SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE pinout, SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE application, or SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, JEDEC-standard x8 flash command set compliance, sector-level erase timing (18 ms typical), byte-program timing (14 µs typical), and hardware/software data protection implementation details.
Technical Context
The SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE implements SuperFlash® split-gate cell technology with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count-unlike conventional flash where timing degrades with wear. It uses standard microprocessor bus interface with CE#, OE#, and WE# control signals and latched address/data paths.
It supports three software-controlled operations: Byte Program (three-byte unlock + address/data), Sector Erase (six-byte unlock + sector address + 30H), and Chip Erase (six-byte unlock + 10H). End-of-write detection is implemented via Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6), both valid after the fourth (program) or sixth (erase) WE#/CE# pulse.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (128K × 8); occupies 128 KB address space in 8-bit parallel bus systems. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns max; enables direct replacement of 70 ns EPROMs without wait-state insertion on 14 MHz bus systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V–5.5 V; operates across full commercial/industrial voltage range without external regulators. |
| Endurance | 10,000 min / 100,000 typ cycles per sector; qualified per JEDEC A117 for long-term field reliability. |
| Data Retention | >100 years at +85°C; validated per JEDEC A103, supporting unattended industrial deployment. |
| Active Current | 25 mA max during read; enables low-power operation in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max (CMOS input); reduces quiescent power in sleep-mode applications. |
| Sector Size | 4 Kbytes uniform; allows granular firmware updates without erasing entire device. |
Pinout & Package
32-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) with 0.5 mm pitch; RoHS-compliant, industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus (A0–A15); A16 is NC for SST39SF010A - defines 128K-word addressing limit. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high; latched during write cycles. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (100 µA) when high; required for all operations. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; high-Z when asserted high during read. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte program, sector erase, and chip erase command sequences. |
| VDD | Power Supply | +4.5 V to +5.5 V supply; internal VPP generation eliminates need for external high-voltage programming supply. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference ground for all logic and memory array; decoupling capacitor required near pin. |
| NC (Pins 1, 30) | No Connection | Pin 1 and Pin 30 are unconnected for SST39SF010A; not used for address expansion (A17/A18 reserved for larger variants). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Fixed 14 µs byte-program and 18 ms sector-erase times regardless of accumulated cycles - eliminates software derating. |
| JEDEC x8 Standard Compliance | Pinout and command set match industry-standard parallel flash devices, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs. |
| Dual Write Completion Detection | Hardware-supported Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6) allow host CPU to poll asynchronously without timer overhead. |
| Hardware + Software Protection | Glitch immunity (<5 ns), VDD lockout (<2.5 V), and mandatory 3-byte unlock sequence prevent accidental writes during power transitions. |
| Uniform 4-Kbyte Sectors | 128 independent sectors enable selective firmware patching - critical for field-upgradable industrial firmware. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Legacy PC BIOS Memory |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing configuration logic and ladder-code firmware in programmable logic controllers deployed in factory automation environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile program memory mapped into microcontroller address space; accessed via 8-bit parallel bus with 70 ns timing constraints.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Sector-erasable configuration memory updated remotely via management interface; requires robustness against brown-out events. Use Value: VDD power-up/down detection and noise immunity (<5 ns glitch rejection) prevent corruption during AC power cycling or lightning-induced transients. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM29LV010B-70EC | 1 Mbit (128K × 8), 70 ns access, but requires 3 V or 5 V selectable supply; lacks SuperFlash® fixed-timing guarantee. | Higher standby current (1 µA vs. 100 µA) and lower endurance (100,000 cycles vs. 10,000 min) reduce suitability for high-write industrial logging. | Select only if dual-voltage support is required; verify board-level VIO routing and timing margin for erase variability. |
| MX29LV160CBTI-70G | 16 Mbit (2M × 8), 70 ns access, CFI-compliant; pinout differs (48-pin TSOP), no sector uniformity - 64 Kbyte blocks + 8 Kbyte boot sectors. | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation for block-addressed CFI command set. | Choose for higher density needs only; not a drop-in replacement - evaluate migration effort including driver and bootloader changes. |
Compared with AM29LV010B-70EC and MX29LV160CBTI-70G, the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE offers guaranteed fixed program/erase timing, lower industrial-grade standby current, and true JEDEC x8 pin/command compatibility - making it optimal for legacy system refreshes where timing predictability and minimal layout change are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE?
The SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed by Microchip's DS20005022F datasheet Table 5-1. This range supports deployment in harsh environments such as factory floors, outdoor telecom cabinets, and medical equipment enclosures without thermal derating.
Does the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE require an external VPP programming voltage?
No, the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE does not require an external VPP voltage. It features internal VPP generation powered solely by the 4.5V–5.5V VDD supply, eliminating the need for high-voltage charge pumps or external programming supplies - a key advantage over older EPROM and some early flash devices.
How many address lines does the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE use, and what is the role of A16–A18?
The SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE uses A0–A15 for addressing its 128K × 8 memory space. Pins A16, A17, and A18 are marked NC (No Connection) for this variant, as stated in Figure 2-1 and Table 2-1 of the datasheet - confirming that address expansion beyond 128K words is not supported in the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE.
What command sequence is required to perform a byte program operation on the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE?
The SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE requires a three-byte software unlock sequence before byte programming: write AAH to address 5555H, then 55H to address 2AAAH, then A0H to address 5555H. Only then can the target byte address and data be written - a JEDEC-standardized protection mechanism preventing accidental writes.
Is the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE pin-compatible with the SST39SF020A or SST39SF040?
No, the SST39SF010A-70-4I-NHE is not fully pin-compatible with SST39SF020A or SST39SF040. While all share the same 32-pin TSOP package, pins 1 and 30 are NC on SST39SF010A but serve as A18 and A17 respectively on the larger variants - making direct substitution electrically unsafe without verifying address line connectivity and firmware address mapping.
