Product details
Overview
SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T from Microchip Technology is a 4-Mbit (512K × 8) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC with 2.7V–3.6V single-supply write operation, 70 ns read access time, and uniform 4-Kbyte 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 SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T datasheet, SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T pinout, SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T application, or SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage range compatibility (2.7V–3.6V), JEDEC-standard x8 interface, SuperFlash® endurance (100,000 cycles), and TSOP-32/PLCC-32 package options for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements Microchip's proprietary SuperFlash® technology with split-gate cell design and thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count-eliminating software derating over lifetime. Its command-set architecture follows JEDEC® standard pinouts and uses three-byte software data protection (SDP) for byte programming and six-byte sequences for sector/chip erase.
Read operations require simultaneous CE# and OE# low; write status is confirmed via Toggle Bit (DQ6) or Data# Polling (DQ7). The device supports both WE#- and CE#-controlled timing modes and features hardware protections including noise/glitch immunity (<5 ns pulse rejection), VDD power-up/down detection, and write-inhibit mode during invalid control states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; required low for all operations except standby |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive during read only |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for program/erase; initiates internal timing on rising edge |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7V–3.6V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |
| VSS | Ground | Reference ground for all signals and internal circuitry |
| NC | No Connection | Pins 6 and 9 unconnected per TSOP; pins 1, 30, and NC/A17/A18 positions vary by package |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV400CBTI-70G | 4-Mbit (512K × 8), 3.0V–3.6V supply, 70 ns access, but uses different command set and lacks SuperFlash® fixed timing | Requires modified driver software due to non-JEDEC-compatible erase commands and status polling method | Select when legacy board layout requires same pinout but firmware can be adapted for alternate command protocol |
| SST39VF040-70-4I-NHE | Identical electrical and functional spec except rated for industrial temperature (-40°C to +85°C) vs. commercial (0°C to +70°C) | Same use cases but qualified for extended thermal environments without derating | Select for new designs targeting industrial or automotive under-hood applications where ambient exceeds 70°C |
Compared with MX29LV400CBTI-70G, SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T offers JEDEC®-standard command compatibility and guaranteed fixed erase times, reducing firmware complexity; versus SST39VF040-70-4I-NHE, it trades extended temperature rating for lower cost in commercial-grade deployments.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T?
The SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T is organized as 512K × 8, delivering 4 Mbit (512 KB) of byte-addressable nonvolatile storage. This structure aligns with standard 8-bit microcontroller buses and supports direct memory mapping without data width conversion. Its address space spans A0–A17, with A18 serving as the most significant address bit (AMS) for sector/block selection during erase operations.
Does the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T support both TSOP and PLCC packages?
Yes, the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T is offered in both 32-lead TSOP and 32-lead PLCC packages. The 'NHE' suffix denotes the TSOP variant, while PLCC versions carry distinct part number suffixes (e.g., 'NH'). Pin functions and JEDEC®-compliant signal assignments are identical between packages, though NC pin locations differ - confirming compatibility for footprint-swappable designs with appropriate layout validation.
How does the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T handle write completion detection?
The SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T provides two hardware-supported methods: Toggle Bit (DQ6) toggles between 0 and 1 during internal program/erase and stops when complete; Data# Polling (DQ7) returns complemented data during write and true data upon completion. Both are valid after the fourth (program) or sixth (erase) WE#/CE# pulse, enabling efficient polling without external status registers or interrupts in the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T.
What voltage range is required for write operations on the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T?
The SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T requires a single supply voltage of 2.7V to 3.6V for all read and write operations - including byte programming, sector erase, and chip erase. This wider low-voltage range compared to the SST39LF series (3.0V–3.6V) enables compatibility with battery-powered and energy-efficient systems where supply rails may dip below 3.0V, while maintaining full functionality throughout the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T operating range.
Is the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T RoHS compliant?
Yes, the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T is RoHS compliant per the manufacturer's documentation. All devices in the SST39LF/VF family meet JEDEC® standards and are manufactured using lead-free processes. The '-T' suffix in the part number explicitly indicates tape-and-reel packaging compatible with RoHS-compliant surface-mount assembly, ensuring conformance with environmental regulations for commercial and industrial electronics production involving the SST39VF040-70-4C-NHE-T.
