Product details
Overview
SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE from Microchip Technology is a 32 Mbit (2M × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC with bottom-block hardware write protection, 70 ns read access time, and single 2.7–3.6 V supply operation. It delivers 100,000 program/erase cycles endurance and >100-year data retention for embedded firmware storage in industrial controllers and networking boot loaders.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE datasheet, SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE pinout, SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE application, or SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, JEDEC-compliant x16 interface timing, bottom-boot block protection mapping, and real-world flash replacement guidance for legacy 32 Mbit NOR designs.
Technical Context
The SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE implements SST's SuperFlash technology with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. Its architecture supports uniform 2 KWord sectors and 32 KWord blocks, with hardware block-protection applied to the bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH).
It uses standard asynchronous x16 NOR interface logic with CE#, OE#, and WE# control, supports Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6/DQ2) status detection, and includes CFI query mode, Security ID space (128-bit factory + 128-word user), and Erase-Suspend/Resume functionality - all operating within 2.7–3.6 V at commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 32 Mbit (2,097,152 × 16 bits); supports full firmware image storage for mid-complexity microcontrollers. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns maximum; enables direct execution (XIP) from flash in systems with ≤14 MHz bus timing budgets. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V single supply; compatible with 3.3 V system rails without level-shifting or auxiliary regulators. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles typical; sufficient for field firmware updates over 10+ years in industrial gateways. |
| Data Retention | >100 years at 25°C; ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications like configuration EEPROM replacement. |
| Block Protection | Bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH); protects boot code region from accidental overwrite when WP# is grounded. |
| Package | 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm); surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and legacy PCB footprints. |
Pinout & Package
48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm), JEDEC-standard x16 asynchronous NOR footprint. Pin functions validated per DS25111A Figure 2 and Table 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | A0–A19 select 2M words; A20 (AMS) used for sector/block address decoding during erase operations. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional bus; latched internally during writes; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low device selection; must be low for read/write; high = standby (4 µA current). |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gating; controls data bus drive; high = high-impedance state. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write control; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per JEDEC command sequencing. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Grounding protects bottom 32 KWord boot block; floating = internal pull-up = unprotected. |
| RST# | Hardware Reset | Active-low hard reset; terminates ongoing erase/program and forces return to read mode. |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; decoupling required per JEDEC layout guidelines for stable 70 ns timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash cell architecture | Split-gate + thick-oxide injector enables fixed 18 ms sector/block erase time across full lifecycle. |
| Auto Low Power mode | Reduces active read current from 6 mA to 4 µA after valid access-no software overhead or latency penalty. |
| Erase-Suspend/Erase-Resume | Allows read/program in non-suspended sectors during background erase-critical for real-time firmware patching. |
| Security ID space | Factory-programmed 128-bit ID + 128-word user space, lockable to prevent tampering of device identity or keys. |
| JEDEC-compliant command set | Fully supports CFI query, Software ID entry, and industry-standard 6-byte erase/program sequences. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF3202B-70-4C-EKE | Top 32 KWord hardware block protection (1F8000H–1FFFFFH) instead of bottom-block; identical timing, voltage, and package. | Used where boot code resides in top memory region; not interchangeable without PCB address map verification. | Select only if design requires top-boot protection and address decoding aligns with 1F8000H–1FFFFFH range. |
| MX29LV320ETTI-70G | 32 Mbit x16, 70 ns, 2.7–3.6 V, but uses different command set (no Erase-Suspend) and lacks Security ID feature. | Lower-cost drop-in for basic read/write applications; unsuitable for secure boot or real-time suspend/resume use cases. | Choose when CFI compatibility and cost are primary; avoid if Security ID or Erase-Suspend functionality is required. |
Compared with SST39VF3202B-70-4C-EKE, the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE provides bottom-boot protection essential for legacy BIOS-style boot flows; versus MX29LV320ETTI-70G, it adds hardware-assisted security and deterministic erase timing critical for certified embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization of the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE?
The SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE is organized as 2,097,152 words × 16 bits (32 Mbit total), with uniform 2 KWord sectors (1024 sectors) and 32 KWord blocks (64 blocks). Its bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH) is hardware-protected when WP# is grounded. This structure is confirmed in DS25111A Tables 3 and 9.
Does the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE support Erase-Suspend functionality?
Yes, the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE supports Erase-Suspend and Erase-Resume commands (B0H and 30H) to temporarily halt sector or block erase operations. This allows reading from or programming into non-suspended regions during background erase-verified in DS25111A Sections 5.4 and Table 6.
What is the purpose of the RST# pin on the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE?
The RST# pin on the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE provides hardware-level reset: holding RST# low for ≥TRP (100 ns) terminates any active program or erase operation and forces immediate return to read mode. Post-reset, a minimum TRHR (100 ns) delay is required before valid reads-detailed in DS25111A Section 6.7 and Figure 17.
How does hardware block protection work on the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE?
Hardware block protection on the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE applies exclusively to the bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH). When WP# is grounded, program and erase operations to this region are inhibited. If WP# floats, an internal pull-up disables protection-confirmed in DS25111A Section 6.4 and Table 3.
Is the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE is a non-Pb (lead-free) device and fully RoHS compliant, as stated in the opening features section of DS25111A and confirmed in Microchip's official product change notices for the SST39VF320xB family.
