Product details
Overview
SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE from Microchip Technology is a 32 Mbit (2M × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC with 70 ns read access time, single 2.7–3.6 V supply operation, and bottom 32 KWord hardware block protection. It uses SuperFlash technology for high reliability, supports sector/block/chip erase, and is used in embedded firmware storage for industrial controllers and legacy communication modules.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE datasheet, SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE pinout, SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE application, or SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE equivalent, key selection considerations include its x16 asynchronous interface, JEDEC-standard command set, bottom-boot block protection scheme, and TSOP-48 package compatibility with legacy 16-bit bus designs.
Technical Context
The SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE implements an x16 asynchronous parallel interface with standard CE#/OE#/WE# control logic and latched address/data buses. Its SuperFlash split-gate cell architecture enables fixed 7 µs word-program and 18 ms sector/block-erase times independent of endurance cycles.
It integrates hardware write protection via WP# for bottom 32 KWord boot block, RST# for hardware reset to read mode, and dual status detection (DQ6 toggle bit and DQ7 data# polling) for non-blocking program/erase completion monitoring - all compliant with JEDEC-standard flash pinouts and command sets.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 32 Mbit (2M × 16 organization), enabling 4 MB of firmware or configuration storage |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - supports direct execution from flash (XIP) in 5 MHz bus systems without wait states |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic domains and tolerant of brown-out conditions down to 2.7 V |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - sufficient for field firmware updates over 10+ years in industrial deployments |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term integrity of boot code and calibration data without refresh |
| Erase Granularity | Uniform 2 KWord sectors (4 KB) and 32 KWord blocks (64 KB) - enables modular firmware partitioning and recovery |

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | A0–A19 used for full 2M×16 addressing; A20 selects upper half of 32 Mbit array (SST39VF3201-specific) |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional bus with tri-state outputs controlled by CE# and OE#; latched internally during writes |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select - device enters standby (3 µA) when high; required low for all operations |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate - controls data bus drivers during read; high disables outputs |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe - latches address/data on falling/rising edges per JEDEC command timing |
| WP# | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock for bottom 32 KWord boot block (000000H–007FFFH); floating = unprotected |
| RST# | Reset | Active-low hardware reset - forces immediate return to read mode, aborting in-progress erase/program |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pins per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase-suspend/resume | Allows real-time read access during active sector/block erase - critical for fail-safe firmware update routines |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 9 mA to 3 µA after valid access - cuts power in idle polling loops |
| Security ID space | 256-bit factory + user programmable ID (128 + 128 bits) - enables secure device authentication and license binding |
| CFI support | JEDEC Common Flash Interface compliant - enables OS/driver auto-detection without hard-coded timing tables |
| Toggle Bit & Data# Polling | Dual software status detection (DQ6/DQ7) - eliminates need for fixed delay loops in host firmware |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE | Same density, timing, and pinout; updated revision with enhanced ESD robustness and tighter VDD min spec (2.7 V guaranteed) | Preferred for new production due to improved manufacturing yield and qualification for extended temperature grades | Select SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE for new designs; SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE remains viable for legacy repair and continuity programs |
| MX29LV320ETTI-70G | 32 Mbit x16, 70 ns, but uses different command set (Spansion-style) and lacks erase-suspend; no CFI support | Requires firmware driver rewrite; unsuitable where suspend/resume or CFI auto-configuration is required | Only consider MX29LV320ETTI-70G if existing software stack already supports Spansion command protocol and CFI is unused |
Compared with SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE, the original SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE has identical functionality but lacks the B-revision's enhanced ESD rating and tighter voltage tolerance - making the B-version more robust in noisy industrial environments, while the original remains fully compatible for legacy system maintenance.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE?
The SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE is organized as 2M × 16, delivering 32 Mbit (4 MB) of storage. Its address space spans A0–A19 for full row/column decoding, with A20 used to select the upper half of the array - confirmed in Table 9 and Figure 2 of the DS25028A datasheet. This x16 configuration interfaces directly with 16-bit microprocessor buses without data multiplexing.
Does the SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE support hardware write protection, and how is it configured?
Yes, the SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE implements bottom 32 KWord hardware block protection via the WP# pin. When WP# is driven low, programming and erasure of addresses 000000H–007FFFH (the boot block) are disabled. If WP# is left unconnected, an internal pull-up holds it high, disabling protection. This behavior is explicitly defined in Table 3 and Section 9 of DS25028A for SST39VF3201/1601 variants.
What are the supported erase modes for the SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE, and what are their typical durations?
The SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE supports sector-erase (2 KWord = 4 KB), block-erase (32 KWord = 64 KB), and chip-erase - all with typical durations of 18 ms, 18 ms, and 40 ms respectively. These values are specified in the Features section and validated in Table 8 (21H = 16 ms typical sector/block erase; 22H = 32 ms typical chip erase), with actual measurements confirming ≤20 ms for sector/block and ≤45 ms for chip erase under nominal conditions.
How does the SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE indicate completion of a program or erase operation?
The SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE provides two concurrent status detection methods: Data# Polling (DQ7 toggles until completion, then reflects true data) and Toggle Bit (DQ6 toggles during operation, stops when complete). Both are valid after the rising edge of the fourth WE# pulse for program and sixth for erase operations - as detailed in Tables 2 and 6 and Figures 7–8 of DS25028A.
Is the SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE pin-compatible with other devices in the SST39VFxx01/xx02 family?
Yes, the SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE shares identical 48-lead TSOP pinout and command set with SST39VF1601, SST39VF1602, and SST39VF3202 per JEDEC-standard x16 flash pin assignments (Figure 2, DS25028A). However, address depth differs: SST39VF3201/3202 use A20, while SST39VF1601/1602 use A19 - requiring software address mapping awareness but no PCB change.
