Product details
Overview
SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T from Microchip Technology is a 16 Mbit (2M × 8) Multi-Purpose Flash Plus (MPF+) memory IC with JEDEC-standard x8 asynchronous interface, 70 ns read access time, and top 64 KByte hardware block protection. It operates from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply and supports byte-program, sector-erase (4 KByte), block-erase (64 KByte), and chip-erase functions in embedded boot code storage applications.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T datasheet, SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T pinout, SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T application, or SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its top-boot block protection scheme, SuperFlash® endurance (100,000 cycles), 100+ year data retention, Auto Low Power mode (3 µA), and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing for legacy 8-bit host interfaces.
Technical Context
The SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T implements SST's proprietary SuperFlash® technology with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count-unlike conventional flash. Its command-set architecture follows JEDEC-standard x8 pinouts and supports software data protection (SDP) via three-byte unlock sequences for program and six-byte sequences for erase operations.
Hardware features include dedicated WP# for top-block protection, RST# for hardware reset to read mode, and dual status detection (DQ7 Data# Polling and DQ6/DQ2 Toggle Bits) for non-blocking write completion monitoring. The device supports Erase-Suspend/Erase-Resume for concurrent read/program during active erase, and includes CFI Query mode for runtime device characterization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (2,097,152 × 8 bits); supports full boot code, firmware, and configuration storage in space-constrained 8-bit systems. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns max; enables direct execution (XIP) from flash in microcontroller-based systems without wait states at ≤14 MHz bus clocks. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V single supply; compatible with 3.3 V logic domains and eliminates need for separate VPP programming voltage. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles typical; >100 years data retention - validated for industrial lifecycle requirements without refresh. |
| Power Consumption | 9 mA active current (5 MHz), 3 µA standby & Auto Low Power modes; reduces system-level power budget in always-on embedded nodes. |
| Erase/Program Speed | Sector/block-erase: 18 ms typical; chip-erase: 40 ms; byte-program: 7 µs - enables fast field firmware updates and dynamic parameter storage. |
| Protection Scheme | Top 64 KByte hardware block protection via WP# pin; prevents accidental overwrite of critical boot loader code during field upgrades. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm), RoHS-compliant, standard pinout per JEDEC MO-142AC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | 21-bit address bus (AMS = A20); A12–A20 select sector during Sector-Erase; A16–A20 select block during Block-Erase. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; latched internally during writes; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high; DQ6/DQ2 used for toggle-bit status monitoring. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low to enable read/write operations; controls address/data latch timing with WE#. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; enables data output only when CE# and OE# both low; high-Z state prevents bus contention. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for write cycles; falling edge latches address; rising edge latches data; initiates internal program/erase timing. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Active-low top-block protection; grounded to lock top 64 KByte (0x1F0000–0x1FFFFF); floating = internally pulled high = unprotected. |
| RST# | Reset | Active-low hardware reset; forces immediate return to Read mode; required TRP pulse width ≥100 ns to abort in-progress operations. |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; VSS pins provide low-impedance return path for I/O and core logic; decoupling mandatory near package. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Split-gate cell + thick-oxide injector enables fixed 18 ms erase time across full 100k-cycle lifetime - no software de-rating needed. |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows real-time read access to non-suspended sectors during active erase; enables GUI responsiveness or diagnostics in firmware-updating systems. |
| Security ID Space | 256-bit segmented ID (128-bit factory-locked SST ID + 128-bit user-programmable segment) for secure device authentication and traceability. |
| CFI Query Support | Standard Common Flash Interface allows runtime detection of geometry, timing, and command set - simplifies BSP porting across flash vendors. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Automatically enters 3 µA standby after valid read; exits on any address/control transition with zero access penalty - ideal for intermittent polling systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel-interface flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV160CTTI-70G | 16 Mbit (2M×8), 70 ns, top-boot, but uses older floating-gate tech; 100k cycles, 20-year retention; no Erase-Suspend or Security ID. | Lacks suspend/resume and CFI; requires longer erase times that increase with wear; no hardware-assisted status monitoring. | Choose only if legacy design reuse mandates identical pinout and command set; not recommended for new designs requiring long-term reliability. |
| S29AL016J70TFI020 | 16 Mbit (2M×8), 70 ns, top-boot; 100k cycles, 20-year retention; supports CFI and basic SDP but no Security ID or Auto Low Power mode. | No low-power optimization for battery-backed systems; lacks toggle-bit dual-status reporting; slower typical sector-erase (25 ms). | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial applications where power budget and security are secondary; verify timing margins with host controller. |
Compared with MX29LV160CTTI-70G and S29AL016J70TFI020, the SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T delivers superior long-term data integrity (>100 years), deterministic erase timing, and integrated power-saving features - making it optimal for mission-critical embedded systems requiring field-upgradable firmware with zero risk of bootloader corruption.

FAQ
What is the difference between SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T and SST39VF1681?
The SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T implements top 64 KByte hardware block protection (address range 0x1F0000–0x1FFFFF), whereas the SST39VF1681 protects the bottom 64 KByte (0x000000–0x00FFFF). Both share identical density, timing, command set, and SuperFlash® technology - the distinction is solely in the protected boot block location, selected via WP# pin behavior.
Does SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No. The SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T generates internal VPP for all program and erase operations using its 2.7–3.6 V VDD supply only - no external high-voltage source is needed. This simplifies board design and eliminates VPP-related layout constraints or charge-pump circuitry.
How does the Auto Low Power mode function in SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T?
The SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T automatically enters a 3 µA standby state after completing a valid read operation while CE# remains low. It exits instantly on any address or control signal transition (e.g., CE#, OE#, or A0–A20 change) with no added access delay - ideal for systems performing periodic register polling.
Can SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T be used in place of SST39VF1682-70-4I-EKE-T?
Yes, but only in commercial-temperature environments (0°C to +70°C). The SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T is rated for commercial grade, while the -4I variant supports industrial temperature (-40°C to +85°C). Electrical specifications and pinout are identical; thermal validation is required for deployment outside 0°C–70°C.
What command sequence initiates sector erase in SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T?
To initiate sector erase in the SST39VF1682-70-4C-EKE-T, execute the six-byte command sequence: 0x555/0xAA → 0x2AA/0x55 → 0x555/0x80 → 0x555/0xAA → 0x2AA/0x55 → [Sector Address]/0x50. The sector address uses AMS–A12 lines; the final 0x50 command latches on the rising edge of the sixth WE# pulse.
