Product details
Overview
SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE from Microchip Technology is a 32-Mbit (2M × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus (MPF+) memory IC with bottom-boot block protection, 70 ns read access time, 2.7V–3.6V single-supply operation, and JEDEC-standard x16 pinout. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded controllers, firmware boot loaders, and industrial HMI systems requiring field-upgradable code.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE datasheet, SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE pinout, SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE application, or SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE equivalent, key selection criteria include bottom-block hardware write protection (WP#), erase-suspend/resume capability, 100,000-cycle endurance, and compatibility with standard x16 parallel bus interfaces in space-constrained TSOP or TFBGA footprints.
Technical Context
This device implements SuperFlash® split-gate cell technology with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count and eliminating performance derating over lifetime. Its architecture supports uniform 2-KWord sector erase, flexible 4-KWord and 32-KWord block erase, and full-chip erase-all initiated via JEDEC-compliant command sequences.
Hardware data protection includes noise/glitch immunity (<5 ns pulse rejection), VDD power-up/down detection (<1.5 V inhibit), and WP#-controlled bottom two 4-KWord boot block lock. Software Data Protection (SDP) mandates three-byte unlock sequences for programming and six-byte sequences for erasing, with factory-enabled security ID (128-bit Microchip + 128-word user programmable).
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm) - RoHS-compliant surface-mount package with standard JEDEC x16 footprint and thermal profile compatible with reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | A0–A19 select 2M words; A20 (AMS) used in command addressing for sector/block erase |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional bus; latched internally during writes; tri-state when CE# or OE# high |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (4 µA) when high |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive without affecting internal state |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for all write operations; latches address/data on edge transitions per JEDEC timing |
| WP# | Write-Protect | Active-low hardware lock for bottom two 4-KWord boot blocks (000000H–001FFFH) |
| RST# | Reset | Active-low hardware abort of ongoing erase/program; forces return to read mode within TRP |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy# | Open-drain status indicator; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up; low = operation in progress |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7V–3.6V core and I/O supply; no separate VCCIO required |
| VSS | Ground | Common reference for all signals; two dedicated pins reduce ground bounce in high-speed reads |
| NC | No Connection | Unbonded pins (A16, A19 in TSOP; multiple balls in TFBGA)-must be left floating or grounded per layout rules |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bottom Boot Block Protection | Hardware-enforced lock of lowest 8 KWords (000000H–001FFFH) via WP# pin-prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Pause active sector/block erase to read other memory locations or program unprotected sectors-enables real-time interrupt handling during flash maintenance |
| Auto Low-Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 6 mA to 4 µA after valid read access-cuts power by >99% during idle polling intervals |
| Security ID Space | Factory-programmed 128-bit ID + 128-word user-programmable space-supports secure device authentication and firmware binding |
| Toggle Bit & Data# Polling | Dual software status detection (DQ6/DQ7) plus RY/BY# pin-provides redundant, deterministic end-of-write confirmation without timer dependencies |
| SuperFlash® Technology | Fixed erase/program times unaffected by accumulated cycles-eliminates need for runtime derating or wear-leveling firmware overhead |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF3202C-70-4I-EKE | Top-boot block protection (1FE000H–1FFFFFH) instead of bottom-boot; identical timing, voltage, and command set | Used where bootloader resides in highest memory region; incompatible pin-level protection behavior with SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE | Select only if hardware WP# routing matches top-block address map and existing PCB layout accommodates same TSOP/TFBGA footprint |
| MX29LV320ETTI-70G | 32 Mbit x16, 70 ns, 2.7–3.6 V-but uses different command sequences, lacks Security ID, and has no erase-suspend capability | Requires firmware driver rewrite; suitable for cost-sensitive designs where advanced features are unused | Choose when legacy codebase already supports Macronix command set and boot protection scheme is implemented in software |
Compared with SST39VF3202C-70-4I-EKE, this part provides bottom-boot protection essential for legacy bootloader architectures, while MX29LV320ETTI-70G offers lower unit cost but sacrifices erase-suspend, security ID, and guaranteed fixed timing-requiring additional firmware validation effort.

FAQ
What is the boot block protection scheme implemented in the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE?
The SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE implements bottom hardware block protection: when WP# is driven low, the bottom two 4-KWord blocks (000000H–001FFFH) are locked against program and erase operations. This protects bootloader code stored in the lowest memory region. The SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE datasheet confirms this behavior in Table 2 and Section "Hardware Block Protection".
Does the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE support both TSOP and TFBGA packages, and how does that affect pin compatibility?
Yes, the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE is offered in both 48-lead TSOP and 48-ball TFBGA packages. Pin functions are identical per JEDEC standard x16 assignment, but physical pinout differs: TSOP uses linear edge leads, while TFBGA uses ball grid array mapping. The SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE pin descriptions in Figures 2 and 3 of DS20005020C confirm functional equivalence despite mechanical differences.
How does the Auto Low-Power mode function in the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE during read operations?
The SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE enters Auto Low-Power mode automatically after a valid read cycle completes, reducing active current from 6 mA to 4 µA. It exits instantly on any address or control signal transition-no access time penalty. This behavior is documented in DS20005020C page 6 and applies only after first address transition post-power-up, not during static CE# assertion.
What status detection methods are supported by the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE for verifying completion of program or erase operations?
The SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE supports three complementary status detection methods: Data# Polling (DQ7 toggles until completion), Toggle Bits (DQ6 toggles during operation, stops when done), and Ready/Busy# (RY/BY# open-drain pin pulled low during operation). All are validated in DS20005020C pages 7–8 and enable robust, interrupt-driven flash management in the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE.
Can the Security ID space in the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE be programmed and locked independently of main array operations?
Yes-the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE provides a dedicated 136-word Security ID space: first 128 bits factory-programmed by Microchip, next 128 words user-programmable. Programming uses unique command sequence (88H entry + A5H), and locking is performed separately via 85H command. Neither segment can be erased, and locking prevents further writes-details are specified in DS20005020C page 10 for the SST39VF3201C-70-4I-EKE.
