Product details
Overview
SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T from Microchip Technology is a 2-Mbit (256K × 8) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC with 2.7V–3.6V single-supply operation, 70 ns read access time, and uniform 4-Kbyte sector erase architecture. It implements SuperFlash® technology for high reliability, supports JEDEC-standard x8 pinout and command set, and is used in embedded firmware storage, BIOS/UEFI code retention, and industrial controller configuration memory.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T datasheet, SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T pinout, SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T application, or SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated sector-erase timing, confirmed 32-lead TSOP package mapping, and real-world use cases for legacy system upgrades and low-voltage embedded designs.
Technical Context
The SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T uses Microchip's proprietary SuperFlash® split-gate cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. Its control logic accepts standard microprocessor write sequences and supports both CE#- and WE#-controlled operations.
It implements dual software status detection-Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6)-for end-of-write verification, and integrates hardware protections including noise/glitch immunity (<5 ns pulse rejection), VDD power-up/down detection (<1.5V inhibit), and write-inhibit mode via OE#/CE#/WE# states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), directly maps to 256 KB of byte-addressable nonvolatile storage |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns maximum - determines minimum bus cycle time for CPU read operations |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V–3.6V - enables compatibility with 3.3V systems and brown-out tolerant operation down to 2.7V |
| Endurance | 10,000 cycles minimum (JEDEC A117) - defines guaranteed sector reprogrammability before wear-out |
| Data Retention | 100 years minimum (JEDEC A103) - ensures long-term firmware integrity without refresh |
| Active Current | 20 mA max at 70 ns read - sets peak power draw during instruction fetch bursts |
| Standby Current | 15 µA max - enables ultra-low-power hold state in battery-backed applications |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount, 12.0 mm × 20.0 mm footprint per JEDEC MO-152.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | A0–A16 select one of 256K bytes; A17 is AMS (most significant address) and must be held VIH/VIL per command sequence |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; outputs tri-state when CE# or OE# high; latched on write |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (15 µA) when high; required low for all operations |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls DQ0–DQ7 drive; high forces high-impedance regardless of CE# |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates latching of addresses/data and triggers internal program/erase timers |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7V–3.6V supply; powers core logic and SuperFlash® cell programming circuitry |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and internal logic; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| NC | No Connection | Pins 6 and 9 are unconnected per TSOP pinout; must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Fixed 18 ms sector erase and 70 ms chip erase times - eliminates software derating across lifetime |
| Uniform 4-Kbyte Sectors | 64 independent erasable blocks - enables granular firmware updates without full-chip erase |
| Software Data Protection | 6-byte command sequence required for sector/chip erase - prevents accidental corruption during power transients |
| CMOS I/O Compatibility | VIH = 0.7VDD, VIL = 0.8V - ensures interoperability with 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| JEDEC Standard Compliance | Pinout and command set match industry-standard x8 Flash - simplifies drop-in replacement validation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV020TC-70G | 2-Mbit, 70 ns, 3.0V–3.6V supply; lacks SuperFlash® fixed-timing; 100K-cycle endurance | Higher active current (30 mA); no VDD <2.7V support; requires longer timeout handling for aging devices | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where extended voltage range and lifetime timing stability are not required |
| EN29LV020-70TP | 2-Mbit, 70 ns, 3.0V–3.6V supply; JEDEC-compatible but uses different SDP command sequence | Requires modified driver firmware; no industrial temp (-40°C to +85°C) rating in this variant | Choose only if existing board layout and firmware already support EN29LV series command set |
Compared with MX29LV020TC-70G and EN29LV020-70TP, the SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T provides guaranteed 2.7V operation, fixed erase timing across lifetime, and industrial temperature support - critical for field-upgradeable embedded systems where reliability outweighs marginal BOM cost savings.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization of the SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T?
The SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T is organized as 256K × 8, delivering 2,097,152 bits (2 Mbit) of addressable storage across 256,000 unique byte locations. This matches JEDEC-standard x8 Flash architecture and is confirmed in DS20005023E page 1 and Table 2-1. Each byte is individually programmable, and sectors are uniformly sized at 4 Kbytes.
Does the SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T support industrial temperature range?
Yes, the SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation per Table 5-2 in DS20005023E. This industrial temperature grade is explicitly defined for the SST39VF family, distinguishing it from the commercial-only SST39LF variants, and is validated across all DC and AC specifications in the datasheet.
What package type is used for the SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T?
The SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T uses a 32-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package), as specified in Section 8.1 and Figure 2-1 of DS20005023E. Pin assignments follow the standard TSOP layout with NC on pins 6 and 9, and the marking "NHE-T" confirms the TSOP variant per Microchip's packaging nomenclature.
How does the SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T handle write completion detection?
The SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T supports two hardware-verified methods: Data# Polling (monitoring DQ7 toggling to true data) and Toggle Bit (observing DQ6 state alternation). Both are valid after the fourth WE# pulse for byte program and sixth WE# pulse for erase, as defined in Sections 3.5–3.7 of DS20005023E.
Is the SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE-T is RoHS compliant, as explicitly stated in the Features section on page 1 of DS20005023E. This applies to both lead-free solder reflow profiles (up to +260°C for 10 seconds) and material content, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements.
