Product details
Overview
SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T 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, used for firmware storage and configuration in embedded controllers and industrial HMI systems.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T datasheet, SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T pinout, SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T application, or SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, JEDEC-compliant x16 interface timing, bottom-boot block protection mapping, and direct alternatives for legacy flash replacement in space-constrained TSOP designs.
Technical Context
The SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T implements SuperFlash technology with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. It supports uniform 2 KWord sectors and 32 KWord blocks, with hardware WP# protection applied to the bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH).
It uses standard JEDEC x16 asynchronous interface timing with CE#, OE#, and WE# control logic, latched address/data buses, and dual status detection via DQ7 (Data# Polling) and DQ6/DQ2 (Toggle Bits). The RST# pin provides hardware reset to Read mode, and CFI query mode enables runtime device identification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 32 Mbit (2,097,152 × 16-bit words), directly replaces 2M×16 parallel NOR flash in boot code storage. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in microcontrollers with ≤14 MHz bus timing. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V system rails without level-shifting; no VPP pin required. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - supports field firmware updates over 10+ years in industrial logging applications. |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage for medical device calibration tables. |
| Block Protection | Bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH) - safeguards bootloader region against accidental overwrite when WP# = low. |
| Erase Times | Sector/Block: 18 ms typ.; Chip: 35 ms typ. - enables fast field updates without extended downtime. |
| Power Consumption | 6 mA active (5 MHz), 4 µA standby/auto-low-power - reduces quiescent current in battery-backed systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | A0–A19 select 2M-word locations; A20 (AMS) enables sector/block addressing per JEDEC x16 standard. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional bus; outputs tri-stated when CE# or OE# high; latched during write cycles. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (4 µA) when high; required low for all operations. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; must be low with CE# for valid read access. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence timing. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock for bottom 32 KWord boot block; internally pulled up if floating. |
| RST# | Reset | Active-low hardware reset; terminates in-progress erase/program and returns to Read mode within TRP. |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; no separate VPP required - simplifies power design and PCB layout. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins marked NC (e.g., pins 3, 12, 25, 47) are unconnected die pads; must remain unconnected on PCB. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows read access to non-suspended sectors during erase, enabling real-time status monitoring in safety-critical firmware updates. |
| Security ID Space | 128-bit factory-programmed + 128-word user-programmable ID area - supports secure device authentication and anti-cloning. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 6 mA to 4 µA after valid access - cuts dynamic power by >99% in polling-based boot loaders. |
| CFI Query Support | Enables runtime detection of geometry, timing, and command set via standardized 3-byte entry - eliminates hard-coded flash parameters. |
| Software Data Protection | JEDEC-compliant 3-byte (program) or 6-byte (erase) command sequences prevent spurious writes during power transients. |
| Toggle Bit & Data# Polling | Dual-status feedback (DQ6/DQ2 toggle + DQ7 polling) allows robust end-of-write detection without timeout dependencies. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF3202B-70-4I-EKE-T | Top 32 KWord hardware block protection (1F8000H–1FFFFFH); identical timing, density, and package. | Used where bootloader resides at top of address space; not interchangeable without PCB-level WP# routing change. | Select only if top-boot architecture matches system memory map; same pinout but opposite protection region. |
| MX29LV320ETTI-70G | 32 Mbit x16, 70 ns, 2.7–3.6 V, but uses different command set (no CFI query) and lacks Erase-Suspend. | Requires modified driver software; no suspend/resume capability limits real-time update flexibility. | Valid drop-in for basic read/write use cases; avoid where firmware update concurrency or security ID features are required. |
Compared with SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T, the SST39VF3202B offers mirrored boot-block protection for top-aligned firmware, while the MX29LV320ETTI sacrifices CFI and Erase-Suspend for broader legacy driver support - making the SST39VF3201B optimal for new designs needing runtime configurability and secure update resilience.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization of the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T?
The SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T 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 asserted low. This structure is confirmed in Tables 3 and 9 of the DS25111A datasheet and applies specifically to the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T variant.
Does the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T support CFI query mode, and how is it entered?
Yes, the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T supports Common Flash Interface (CFI) query mode to dynamically identify device geometry and timing. It is entered by writing 98H to address 555H using the three-byte sequence (555H/AAH → 2AAH/55H → 555H/98H) or the one-byte method (55H address, 98H data). CFI data is readable at defined offsets per Table 7, and the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T exits CFI mode via the F0H exit command.
How does hardware block protection work on the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T?
Hardware block protection on the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T is implemented via the WP# pin and applies exclusively to the bottom 32 KWord boot block (000000H–007FFFH). When WP# is driven low, program and erase operations to this region are inhibited. If WP# is left floating, an internal pull-up holds it high, disabling protection. This behavior is specific to the SST39VF3201B variant and differs from the top-protection of SST39VF3202B.
What are the valid operating temperature and voltage ranges for the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T?
The SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and operates from a single 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply. These specifications are defined in Table 10 of DS25111A and apply to all functional modes including read, program, and erase. The "I" in the part number explicitly denotes industrial temperature grade, and the device requires no external VPP voltage.
Can the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T be used in place of the SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE-T?
No - the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T and SST39VF3201B-70-4C-EKE-T differ in temperature grade: "I" denotes industrial (-40°C to +85°C), while "C" denotes commercial (0°C to +70°C). All electrical, timing, and functional specifications are identical, but the SST39VF3201B-70-4I-EKE-T is qualified for extended thermal operation and undergoes additional screening. Substitution requires validation of thermal margins in the target application.
