Product details
Overview
SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE from Microchip Technology is a 32 Mbit (2M × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC with x16 asynchronous interface, 70 ns read access time, single 2.7–3.6V supply operation, and bottom-block hardware write protection. It implements SuperFlash technology for high reliability in embedded firmware storage applications requiring field-upgradable code or configuration data.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE datasheet, SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE pinout, SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE application, or SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, JEDEC-compliant pin mapping, boot-block protection behavior, erase-suspend capability, and direct alternatives for legacy design continuity and BOM migration planning.
Technical Context
This device uses SST's proprietary SuperFlash split-gate cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed 7 µs word-program and 18 ms sector/block-erase times independent of endurance cycles. It supports JEDEC-standard command sets including CFI Query, Security ID, and Software Data Protection with six-byte erase sequences.
Hardware block protection targets the bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH) via WP# pin; RST# provides hardware reset to Read mode; DQ6/DQ7 status bits enable real-time end-of-write detection during Program/Erase operations without polling overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 32 Mbit (2M × 16), organized as 2,097,152 words × 16 bits - supports full firmware image storage in resource-constrained microcontroller systems. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in 5 MHz bus systems with minimal 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 infrequent firmware updates over 10+ years of field operation. |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term integrity of boot code and calibration tables without refresh. |
| Erase Granularity | Uniform 2 KWord sectors (4 KB) and 32 KWord blocks (64 KB) - allows selective update of application modules without full chip erase. |
| Write Protection | Hardware bottom-block protection (000000H–007FFFH) via WP# pin - safeguards bootloader region against accidental overwrite. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm), RoHS compliant, JEDEC-standard x16 flash footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | A0–A19 used for SST39VF3201 addressing (A20 MSB); A20 selects top half of 2M-word space; AMS = A20 per datasheet. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | x16 bidirectional data bus; latched internally during writes; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high. |
| 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 control for write cycles; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per JEDEC timing. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock for bottom 32 KWord boot block (000000H–007FFFH); floating = unprotected. |
| RST# | Reset | Active-low hardware reset; terminates ongoing Program/Erase and forces return to Read mode. |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V core supply; internal charge pump generates VPP for erase/program - no external high-voltage source needed. |
| VSS | Ground | Two dedicated ground pins (pins 23 & 48 in TSOP) - reduces noise coupling during high-speed reads/writes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Pause active sector/block erase to read or program other regions - enables real-time firmware patching without interrupting background erase. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 9 mA to 3 µA after valid access - cuts dynamic power by >99% during idle bus cycles. |
| Security ID | 256-bit factory + user programmable ID space (128 + 128 bits) - supports secure boot authentication and device binding. |
| CFI Support | JEDEC Common Flash Interface compliant - enables OS/driver auto-detection of geometry, timing, and command set without hard-coded parameters. |
| Toggle Bit & Data# Polling | DQ6 toggling and DQ7 complement detection - eliminates need for fixed delay loops during write completion verification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE | Direct revision replacement with identical pinout, timing, and command set; updated process node improves parametric yield. | No functional change; qualified for same industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and RoHS compliance. | Select for new designs requiring continued availability and enhanced manufacturing consistency. |
| MX29LV320ETTI-70G | 32 Mbit x16 flash with 70 ns access, but uses different command set (no CFI support) and lacks Erase-Suspend functionality. | Requires firmware driver modification; no hardware boot-block protection - relies on software locking only. | Use only if existing system already supports Macronix command protocol and does not require suspend/resume capability. |
Compared with SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE, the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE offers identical electrical and functional behavior with improved production continuity, while MX29LV320ETTI-70G requires driver changes and sacrifices erase-suspend flexibility - making the B-revision the preferred drop-in upgrade path.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE?
The SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE is organized as 2M × 16, delivering 32 Mbit total capacity (2,097,152 words × 16 bits). Its address space spans A0–A19 (20 address lines), with A20 serving as the most significant bit for full 2M-word addressing. This structure supports x16 data bus interfacing directly to microprocessor or FPGA memory controllers without data multiplexing.
Does the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE support hardware write protection, and how is it configured?
Yes, the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE implements bottom-block hardware write protection for the lowest 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH) via the WP# pin. When WP# is driven low, Program and Erase operations on that boot block are inhibited. If left floating, an internal pull-up holds WP# high, disabling protection. This feature is confirmed in Table 3 and Section 9 of the DS25028A datasheet for SST39VF3201/3202 variants.
What is the purpose of the RST# pin on the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE?
The RST# pin on the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE provides hardware-initiated reset to Read mode, terminating any in-progress Program or Erase operation. Holding RST# low for ≥ TRP (reset pulse width) forces immediate return to array read state. After release, a minimum TRHR hold time is required before valid reads resume. This ensures deterministic recovery from power faults or watchdog timeouts in safety-critical systems using the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE.
How does the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE indicate completion of a Program or Erase operation?
The SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE uses two hardware status mechanisms: Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6). During Program, DQ7 outputs complemented data until completion, then true data. During Erase, DQ7 reads '0' until done, then '1'. DQ6 toggles between 0/1 during active operations and stops upon completion. Both methods are valid after defined WE#/CE# edge counts per operation type and eliminate need for fixed delay loops in host firmware managing the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE.
Is the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE compatible with JEDEC-standard flash interfaces?
Yes, the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE conforms fully to JEDEC standard pinouts and command sets for x16 flash memories, including Common Flash Interface (CFI) support. It responds to standard three-byte CFI entry (5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/98H) and returns standardized geometry and timing descriptors. This ensures interoperability with generic flash drivers and BIOS/UEFI implementations that rely on JEDEC compliance for automatic detection and initialization of the SST39VF3201-70-4I-EKE.
