Product details
Overview
SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE from Microchip Technology is a 16 Mbit (2M × 8) Multi-Purpose Flash Plus (MPF+) memory IC designed for nonvolatile program, configuration, and data storage in embedded systems. It operates from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply, delivers 70 ns read access time, supports hardware top-block protection (64 KB), and uses SuperFlash® technology for 100,000 write/erase cycles and >100-year data retention.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE datasheet, SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE pinout, SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE application, or SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, JEDEC-compliant x8 interface details, sector/block/chip erase timing, Auto Low Power mode behavior, and hardware reset (RST#) and write-protect (WP#) functionality critical for boot code integrity and low-power system design.
Technical Context
The SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE implements a CMOS SuperFlash® architecture with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count-unlike conventional flash. It conforms to JEDEC standard x8 pinouts and command sets, supporting Byte-Program (7 µs typical), Sector-Erase (18 ms), Block-Erase (18 ms), and Chip-Erase (40 ms).
It features dual status detection (DQ7 Data# Polling and DQ6/DQ2 Toggle Bits), Erase-Suspend/Erase-Resume capability, CFI Query support, and 256-bit Security ID (128-bit factory-programmed, 128-bit user-programmable). Hardware block protection is active on the top 64 KB (address range 1F0000H–1FFFFFH) when WP# is grounded.
Key Specifications

| Package | 48-ball TFBGA (6 mm × 8 mm, B3K footprint); RoHS-compliant, optimized for high-density PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (TFBGA), 6 mm × 8 mm, ball pitch 0.8 mm, B3K footprint (per Figure 2, DS25040A).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | 21-bit address bus; AMS = A20 for sector/block selection per JEDEC x8 protocol. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; latched internally during writes; tri-state when CE# or OE# high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low to enable read/write operations; controls device power state. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; used with CE# to control data bus timing; enables read access without toggling address. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per JEDEC command sequence timing. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock for top 64 KB boot block; internally pulled high if floating; prevents inadvertent erase/program. |
| RST# | Hardware Reset | Active-low asynchronous reset; terminates in-progress operations and forces return to Read mode within TRP. |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; VSS pins provide dedicated ground return paths for signal integrity. |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded balls (e.g., A1, A4, A8, A11, A15, A19, etc.); must remain unconnected per datasheet layout guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase-Suspend/Erase-Resume | Allows real-time read access to non-suspended sectors during background erase-enabling GUI responsiveness or interrupt handling in embedded hosts. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 9 mA to 3 µA after valid access; eliminates need for software-controlled standby entry in polling-based firmware. |
| Security ID Space | 256-bit segmented ID (128-bit factory locked, 128-bit user programmable); supports secure boot authentication and device binding without external crypto ICs. |
| JEDEC-Compliant Command Set | Fully compatible with industry-standard x8 flash controllers and bootloader firmware (e.g., U-Boot, ARM CMSIS); no custom driver development required. |
| SuperFlash® Fixed Timing | Erase and program times remain constant over lifetime-no software de-rating or adaptive timeout logic needed across product lifecycle. |
Applications
| Industrial HMI Firmware Storage | Medical Device Configuration Memory |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF1681-70-4C-B3KE | Identical architecture and timing, but bottom 64 KB hardware-protected instead of top block; Device ID C8H vs. C9H. | Used where boot code resides in lowest memory region (000000H–00FFFFH); incompatible pin-for-pin replacement due to protection region reversal. | Select only if boot vector location matches bottom-block addressing and WP# logic aligns with system board design. |
| MX29LV160DBTI-70G | 16 Mbit x16/x8 configurable interface; 70 ns access; 100,000 cycles; but requires VIO pin for 3.3 V I/O and lacks Auto Low Power mode. | Requires level-shifting or modified PCB routing for x8-only host; higher active current (15 mA) limits battery-powered use cases. | Prefer when x16 interface flexibility is needed or when existing designs already use Macronix's command set and timing margins. |
Compared with SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE, the SST39VF1681 variant shifts protected region location-requiring board-level WP# routing changes-while the MX29LV160DBTI-70G trades lower power efficiency and added interface complexity for broader vendor ecosystem support.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization of the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE?
The SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE is organized as 2,097,152 words × 8 bits (2M × 8), totaling 16 Mbit. Its address space spans A0–A20 (21 address lines), with the top 64 KB (addresses 1F0000H–1FFFFFH) designated as hardware-protected boot block. This structure is fixed and matches JEDEC-standard x8 parallel flash definitions.
Does the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No, the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE does not require an external VPP voltage. It performs all program and erase operations using only the 2.7–3.6 V VDD supply, with internal charge pump generation. Table 8 (DS25040A) explicitly lists VPP min/max as 00H, confirming no VPP pin or external voltage is needed for SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE operation.
How does hardware block protection work on the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE?
Hardware block protection on the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE is activated when the WP# pin is driven low, locking the top 64 KB (1F0000H–1FFFFFH) against all erase and program commands. If WP# is left floating, an internal pull-up holds it high, disabling protection. This mechanism is independent of software data protection and acts at the silicon level for fail-safe boot code integrity.
What is the purpose of the RST# pin on the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE?
The RST# pin on the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE provides asynchronous hardware reset: driving RST# low for ≥TRP (100 ns min) terminates any in-progress program or erase operation and forces immediate return to Read mode. After RST# is released, a minimum TRHR (100 ns) delay is required before valid reads resume-ensuring deterministic recovery from power faults or watchdog timeouts.
Can the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE be used in both commercial and industrial temperature grades?
Yes, the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE is qualified for both commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (−40°C to +85°C) ambient temperature ranges, as specified in Table 10 of DS25040A. The "4C" suffix in the part number denotes the industrial grade, with full DC and AC parameter guarantees across −40°C to +85°C, including 70 ns access time and 100,000-cycle endurance.
What command sequence initiates Chip-Erase on the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE?
Chip-Erase on the SST39VF1682-70-4C-B3KE is initiated by a six-byte software command sequence written to address AAAH: (1) AAAH/AAH, (2) 555H/55H, (3) AAAH/80H, (4) AAAH/AAH, (5) 555H/55H, (6) AAAH/10H. The internal erase begins on the rising edge of the sixth WE# pulse. WP# must be high during this sequence, or the command is ignored.
