Product details
Overview
SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T from Microchip Technology is a 4-Mbit (512K × 8) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC with JEDEC-standard x8 parallel interface, 70 ns read access time, single 4.5V–5.5V supply operation, and uniform 4-Kbyte sector erase architecture. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring field-upgradable firmware or configuration data.
For engineers reviewing the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T datasheet, SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T pinout, SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T application, or SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100,000-cycle endurance, 100-year data retention, TTL-compatible I/O, hardware/software write protection, and support for byte-program and sector-erase operations without external VPP.
Technical Context
This device implements Microchip's SuperFlash® technology with split-gate cell design and thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count-unlike conventional Flash where timing degrades over endurance life. Its control logic accepts standard microprocessor write sequences to initiate Byte Program, Sector Erase, Chip Erase, and Software ID operations via JEDEC-compliant command sets.
The SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T uses dual status detection (Data# Polling on DQ7 and Toggle Bit on DQ6) to signal completion of internal Write operations, allowing host systems to poll asynchronously without fixed timeout delays. Address latching occurs on the falling edge of CE# or WE#, while data latching occurs on the rising edge-enabling robust timing margin in 70 ns read cycles.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV040A-70TI | 4-Mbit, 70 ns, 3.0V–3.6V supply - requires separate 3.3V rail and level translation for 5V systems | Limited to low-voltage embedded designs; lacks hardware VDD detection for write inhibit | Select only if system already uses 3.3V logic and needs lower active current (8 mA vs. 10 mA) |
| MX29LV040CTT-70G | 4-Mbit, 70 ns, 3.0V–3.6V supply with 5V tolerant I/O - supports mixed-voltage interfacing but higher standby current (10 µA vs. 30 µA) | Better suited for battery-backed systems needing ultra-low sleep power; no sector-erase granularity (64K blocks only) | Prefer when migrating legacy 5V designs to 3.3V core with backward-compatible I/O, not for pure 5V systems |
Compared with AT49BV040A-70TI and MX29LV040CTT-70G, the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T uniquely delivers 4.5V–5.5V native operation, true 4-Kbyte sector erase, and SuperFlash® timing stability - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, 5V industrial and automotive platforms requiring long-life field updates.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T?
The SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T is organized as 512K × 8, delivering 4 Mbit (512 KB) of byte-addressable nonvolatile storage. This structure supports direct mapping to 8-bit microcontroller data buses and enables efficient firmware partitioning across 128 uniform 4-Kbyte sectors - a key attribute of the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T for modular updates.
Does the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No, the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T integrates internal VPP generation and performs all program and erase operations using only the standard 4.5V–5.5V VDD supply. This eliminates external charge pumps or high-voltage generators, simplifying board design and reducing BOM cost - a defining feature of the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T.
How does the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T indicate completion of a byte program operation?
The SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T provides two hardware-supported methods: Data# Polling (monitoring DQ7 for true data return) and Toggle Bit (observing toggling on DQ6 until it stabilizes). Both are valid after the rising edge of the fourth WE# or CE# pulse and allow the host to detect completion asynchronously - a core timing behavior of the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T.
What package type is used for the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T?
The SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T is supplied in a 32-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) with standard JEDEC x8 Flash pinout. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly, offers thermal performance suitable for industrial ambient temperatures, and maintains pin compatibility with other 32-pin parallel Flash devices - consistent with the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T marking "NHE".
Is the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T is fully RoHS compliant per Microchip's documentation (DS20005022F, page 1). It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE), meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU - a certified environmental attribute of the SST39SF040-70-4C-NHE-T.
