Product details
Overview
SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE from Silicon Storage Technology is a 16 Mbit (1M × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC with top-boot block protection, 70 ns read access time, 2.7–3.6 V single-supply operation, and JEDEC-standard x16 asynchronous interface. It delivers 100,000 program/erase cycles and >100 years data retention for embedded firmware storage in industrial controllers and legacy system upgrades.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE datasheet, SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE pinout, SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE application, or SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (48-ball WFBGA), sector/block erase architecture, hardware write protection behavior, and real-world timing values including 7 µs word-program and 18 ms sector-erase - all confirmed from official SST documentation.
Technical Context
The SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE implements SuperFlash split-gate technology with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. Its command-set architecture supports JEDEC-standard software data protection (SDP) via six-byte sequences for sector/block/chip erase and three-byte sequences for word-program.
It features dual status detection: Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bits (DQ6/DQ2), plus open-drain RY/BY# for hardware-ready signaling. The device includes dedicated WP# for top 8 KWord boot-block protection and RST# for hardware reset to read mode - both validated for use in power-critical embedded systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (1,048,576 × 16-bit words): supports full firmware images for microcontrollers with x16 bus interfaces. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns: enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in systems with ≤14 MHz bus timing budgets. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V: compatible with 3.3 V logic rails and tolerant of brown-out conditions down to 2.7 V. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles: sufficient for field-upgradable firmware with infrequent updates over 10+ year product life. |
| Data Retention | >100 years at 25°C: ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications like BIOS/UEFI modules. |
| Word-Program Time | 7 µs typical: reduces firmware update latency and minimizes CPU wait states during in-system programming. |
| Sector-Erase Time | 18 ms typical: allows fast partial reprogramming of configuration sectors without full chip erase overhead. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball WFBGA (4 mm × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, bottom-side thermal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus; A19–A11 select blocks during erase, A11–A0 select sectors/words during read/program. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high; latched on rising edge of WE#/CE# during writes. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (3 µA) when high; required low for all operations except reset. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drivers during read; must be low with CE# for valid output. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Controls write latching; falling edge latches address, rising edge latches data per JEDEC x16 protocol. |
| WP# | Hardware Write Protect | Active-low; protects top 8 KWord boot block (FE000H–FFFFFH) from program/erase when grounded. |
| RST# | Hardware Reset | Active-low; forces immediate return to read mode; requires TRP ≥ 100 ns low pulse to abort ongoing erase/program. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Open-drain status signal; pulled low during erase/program; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up to VDD. |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; internal charge pump generates VPP for erase/program - no external high-voltage source needed. |
| VSS | Ground | Two dedicated ground balls (pins E1, H1) ensure stable reference for high-speed read/write transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Top Boot Block Protection | Hardware-enforced write/erase lock on top 8 KWord (FE000H–FFFFFH), preventing accidental corruption of boot code. |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows reading or programming non-suspended sectors during active erase - critical for real-time firmware patching. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 9 mA to 3 µA after valid read access, cutting dynamic power by >99% in polling loops. |
| Security ID Space | Factory-programmed 128-bit SST ID + 128-word user-programmable space, locked permanently after programming. |
| CFI Query Support | JEDEC-standard Common Flash Interface enables automatic driver detection and runtime parameter negotiation in OS-level flash management. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV160ETTI-70G | 16 Mbit x16, 70 ns, top-boot, but uses different command set (no CFI support) and lacks erase-suspend. | Requires modified driver code; unsuitable for real-time suspend/resume use cases. | Select only if legacy driver compatibility is prioritized over advanced erase control. |
| S29GL032N90TFI010 | 32 Mbit x16, 90 ns, top-boot, supports CFI and erase-suspend, but higher voltage (2.7–3.6 V same) and larger WFBGA (6×8 mm). | Offers double density and extended feature set but requires PCB redesign due to 48-ball TFBGA footprint. | Choose when future-proofing for larger firmware or needing guaranteed 20-year data retention at 85°C. |
Compared with MX29LV160ETTI-70G and S29GL032N90TFI010, the SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE uniquely balances JEDEC-compliant CFI, erase-suspend, and compact 4×6 mm WFBGA - making it optimal for space-constrained industrial upgrades where firmware agility and footprint continuity are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact boot-block configuration of the SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE?
The SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE implements top-boot block protection, covering the address range FE000H–FFFFFH (8 KWords). This is hardwired in silicon and differs from the bottom-boot SST39VF1601C. WP# must be held low to activate protection; floating WP# leaves the boot block unprotected per internal pull-up.
Does the SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No. The SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE integrates an internal charge pump that generates all necessary high voltages for erase and program operations. Only a single 2.7–3.6 V VDD supply is required - no external VPP pin or circuitry is needed.
How does the Auto Low Power mode function in the SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE?
After a valid read cycle completes, the SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE automatically enters Auto Low Power mode, reducing active current from 9 mA to 3 µA. It exits instantly on any address or control signal transition - with zero access time penalty - making it ideal for polled status checking in low-power systems.
Can the SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE be used in place of a TSOP-packaged SST39VF1602C?
Yes, but only with PCB redesign. The SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE uses a 48-ball WFBGA (4 mm × 6 mm), whereas TSOP variants use 48-lead rectangular packages (12 mm × 20 mm). Electrical functionality, timing, and command set are identical - only the mechanical footprint differs.
What status detection methods are supported by the SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE during write operations?
The SST39VF1602C-70-4I-B3KE supports three concurrent status detection methods: Data# Polling (DQ7), Toggle Bits (DQ6/DQ2), and Ready/Busy# (RY/BY#) open-drain output. All are valid after the appropriate WE#/CE# edge and enable flexible host-side timing without fixed delays.
