Product details
Overview
SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE 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 2.7–3.6V supply operation. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded controllers and boot code applications requiring high endurance and long data retention.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE datasheet, SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE pinout, SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE application, or SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE equivalent, this page delivers verified pin functions, JEDEC-compliant x16 interface timing, bottom-boot block protection mapping, and direct alternatives for industrial-grade flash replacement.
Technical Context
The SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE implements SuperFlash split-gate cell technology with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. It supports JEDEC-standard x16 asynchronous interface with CE#, OE#, and WE# control logic, and uses toggle-bit (DQ6/DQ2) and data-polling (DQ7) for write status detection.
Hardware block protection targets the bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH), enforced via WP# pin grounding. The device integrates RST# for hardware reset to read mode and supports CFI query, security ID (128-bit factory + 128-word user), and software data protection with six-byte erase command sequences.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV320ETTI-70G | 32 Mbit x16, 70 ns, 2.7–3.6 V, top-boot block protection only | Lacks bottom-boot protection; requires firmware adaptation to relocate protected boot sector | Select when top-boot architecture aligns with existing board layout and boot ROM mapping |
| S29GL032N90TFIR20 | 32 Mbit x16, 90 ns, 2.7–3.6 V, uniform 64 KByte sectors, no hardware WP# pin | Slower access time; relies solely on software protection; no dedicated bottom-block hardware lock | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where 90 ns latency is acceptable and software-only protection suffices |
Compared with MX29LV320ETTI-70G and S29GL032N90TFIR20, the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE uniquely provides bottom-boot hardware protection without firmware modification, 70 ns timing for tighter system timing budgets, and integrated erase-suspend for real-time read capability during updates.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization of the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE?
The SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE 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 block spans address range 000000H–007FFFH and is hardware-protected via the WP# pin. This structure is confirmed in the DS25111A datasheet Section 1 and Table 3.
Does the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE support simultaneous read and erase operations?
Yes, the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE supports erase-suspend functionality: issuing the B0H command pauses an ongoing sector or block erase, allowing reads from any non-suspended location within 10 µs. This capability is explicitly documented in Section 5 of the DS25111A datasheet and enables real-time diagnostics during firmware updates without halting system operation.
How does hardware block protection work on the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE?
Hardware block protection on the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE locks the bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH) against program/erase when WP# is grounded. If WP# floats, an internal pull-up disables protection. This behavior is distinct from the SST39VF3202B (top-block protection) and is defined in DS25111A Table 3 and Section 8. The SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE implements this feature natively without firmware overhead.
What is the role of the RST# pin on the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE?
The RST# pin on the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE provides hardware-initiated return to read mode: holding RST# low for ≥100 ns (TRP) terminates any in-progress program or erase operation and resets internal state. After RST# goes high, a minimum TRHR delay (≥50 ns) is required before valid reads. This ensures deterministic recovery from power faults, as specified in DS25111A Section 9 and Figure 17.
Can the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE be used in industrial temperature applications?
Yes, the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-B3KE is rated for -40°C to +85°C operation (Industrial grade), with guaranteed 2.7–3.6 V supply performance, 70 ns access time, and 100,000-cycle endurance across this full range. This is confirmed in DS25111A Table 10 and applies to the -4I suffix variant. Its TFBGA package also meets IPC/JEDEC standards for thermal cycling reliability in harsh environments.
