Product details
Overview
SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Silicon Storage Technology) is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC with single-supply 2.7–3.6 V write operation, 70 ns read access time, and uniform 4 KB sector-erase architecture. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring field-upgradable firmware and configuration data.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T datasheet, SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T pinout, SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T application, or SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T equivalent, key selection criteria include its industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), JEDEC-standard x8 parallel interface, SuperFlash® endurance (100,000 cycles), and hardware/software data protection for reliable in-system programming.
Technical Context
This device implements SST's proprietary SuperFlash® technology with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. Its control logic supports standard JEDEC command sets-including three-byte software data protection for byte-program and six-byte sequences for sector/chip-erase-ensuring compatibility with legacy 8-bit microprocessor buses.
Operation relies on three active control signals: CE# (chip enable), OE# (output enable), and WE# (write enable), with latched address/data inputs and tri-state outputs. End-of-write detection uses either Data# Polling (DQ7) or Toggle Bit (DQ6), both valid after the fourth (program) or sixth (erase) WE#/CE# pulse edge.
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 - determines maximum sustained read throughput on 8-bit parallel bus (e.g., ~14 MB/s theoretical) |
| Write Voltage Range | 2.7–3.6 V - enables direct connection to 3.3 V system rails without external VPP generation |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - supports frequent firmware updates over product lifetime |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including automotive body control modules |

Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead TSOP (8 mm × 14 mm), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | A0–A16 used for 256K × 8 addressing; A17 = AMS (most significant address) selects sector during erase |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; outputs tri-stated when CE# or OE# high; DQ6 = Toggle Bit, DQ7 = Data# Polling |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (1 µA) when high |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus visibility without affecting internal state |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data and initiates internal program/erase timing |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and charge pumps for erase/program |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and analog circuitry |
| NC | No Connection | Pins 3, 16, 29 - unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Split-gate cell architecture delivers fixed 18 ms sector-erase and 70 ms chip-erase times across full lifecycle |
| Uniform Sector Erase | 64 independent 4 KB sectors allow granular firmware partitioning and partial updates without full chip erase |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | Glitch protection (<5 ns pulses rejected), VDD power-up/down detection (<1.5 V inhibits writes), and CE#/OE#/WE# gating prevent spurious programming |
| Software Data Protection | JEDIC-standard three-byte (program) and six-byte (erase) command sequences eliminate accidental writes during boot or reset |
| JEDEC x8 Pinout Compliance | Direct drop-in replacement for industry-standard 28-pin and 32-pin parallel flash devices in existing PCB layouts |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV200CTTI-70G | 3.0–3.6 V only; 70 ns read; 512 KB density (not 256 KB); different command set (AMD-style vs JEDEC) | Requires modified driver firmware; lacks SuperFlash® fixed timing; higher voltage margin reduces compatibility with low-VDD systems | Select only if AMD-compatible ecosystem exists and 3.3 V rail stability is guaranteed |
| S29AL016J70TFI020 | 2.7–3.6 V; 70 ns read; 2 Mbit density; CFI-compliant but requires extended command sequences for sector protection | CFI query mode adds initialization overhead; sector protection model differs, increasing driver complexity | Prefer when CFI-based auto-configuration is required; verify timing margins for toggle-bit polling in real-time systems |
Compared with MX29LV200CTTI-70G and S29AL016J70TFI020, the SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T offers JEDEC-native command compatibility, guaranteed fixed erase times across lifetime, and lower minimum VDD (2.7 V), making it optimal for power-constrained industrial designs where firmware update reliability is critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T?
The SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T does not use a clock signal-it operates asynchronously via CE#, OE#, and WE# handshaking. Its 70 ns read access time implies compatibility with microcontrollers running up to ~14 MHz bus timing (1/70 ns ≈ 14.3 MHz), assuming proper setup/hold margins. The device itself has no internal oscillator or clock input.
Does SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No. The SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T integrates on-chip charge pumps and generates all necessary high-voltage programming waveforms internally. Programming and erasing are performed using only the 2.7–3.6 V VDD supply-no external VPP pin or voltage source is needed for SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T operation.
How many sectors does SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T have, and what is their size?
The SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T contains 64 uniform sectors, each 4 KB (4096 bytes) in size, totaling 256 KB of addressable memory. This sector architecture enables selective erasure-only the sector containing modified data needs erasing before reprogramming, minimizing update time and wear.
Is SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T compatible with 5 V microcontrollers?
No. SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T is strictly a 2.7–3.6 V device with CMOS I/O thresholds referenced to VDD. Its VIH minimum is 0.7×VDD (~1.89 V at 2.7 V), and VIL maximum is 0.8 V-making it incompatible with 5 V TTL or CMOS logic levels. Level-shifting circuitry is required for interfacing with 5 V systems.
What package type is used for SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T?
The SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE-T uses a 32-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) measuring 8 mm × 14 mm, with standard pinout compliant with JEDEC MO-142. The "WHE-T" suffix explicitly denotes this TSOP package variant, distinguishing it from the PLCC version (e.g., SST39VF020-70-4C-WHE).
