Product details
Overview
SST39VF400A-70-4C-EKE from Microchip Technology is a 4 Mbit (256K × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC using SuperFlash technology, supporting single-supply 2.7–3.6V operation for both read and write functions, with 70 ns read access time, 100,000 program/erase cycles endurance, and >100 years data retention. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring field-upgradable firmware.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF400A-70-4C-EKE datasheet, SST39VF400A-70-4C-EKE pinout, SST39VF400A-70-4C-EKE application, or SST39VF400A-70-4C-EKE equivalent, key selection criteria include x16 asynchronous interface compatibility, JEDEC-standard command set support, sector/block erase granularity (2 KWord / 32 KWord), toggle-bit/data# polling status detection, and TSOP-48 package footprint alignment with legacy board designs.
Technical Context
The SST39VF400A-70-4C-EKE implements a split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program timing independent of cycle count. Its control logic accepts standard JEDEC-compliant command sequences (e.g., six-byte sector/block erase, three-byte word-program initiation) via CE#, OE#, and WE# signals.
It supports hardware write inhibition (via VDD power-up/down detection, noise/glitch filtering <5 ns) and software data protection (SDP) with mandatory three-byte unlock sequence for programming and six-byte sequence for erasing. CFI Query mode provides standardized device geometry and timing parameter reporting at known address offsets.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (256K × 16), directly maps to 512 KB of x16-addressable storage space |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - determines maximum sustained read throughput in synchronous bus interfaces |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7–3.6V - enables direct interfacing with 3.3V logic without level-shifting |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - supports frequent firmware updates over product lifetime |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications |
| Word-Program Time | 14 µs typical - defines minimum time between successive word writes in burst update scenarios |
| Sector Erase Size | 2 KWord (4 KB) - allows fine-grained firmware patching without full chip reprogramming |
| Block Erase Size | 32 KWord (64 KB) - balances speed and granularity for larger configuration or image updates |
Pinout & Package
This device is packaged in a 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm), compliant with JEDEC MO-142AC standard, and features a standard x16 asynchronous parallel interface with latched address/data lines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | A0–A16 used for 256K × 16 addressing; A17 selects upper/lower half of 512 KB space per JEDEC standard |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | Bi-directional x16 data bus; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high; internally latched during write |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (3 µA) when high |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls DQ bus drive during read; no effect on write operations |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data and initiates internal program/erase commands |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6V supply; powers core logic and charge pump; internal VPP generation eliminates external high-voltage requirement |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return for all I/O and core circuitry; two dedicated pins ensure low-impedance grounding |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pins (e.g., A18 in 4 Mbit variant); must remain floating per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash cell architecture | Split-gate design with thick-oxide injector enables fixed 14 µs program and 18 ms erase times across full lifecycle |
| JEDEC-standard command set | Compatible with industry-standard flash controllers and bootloader firmware without custom driver development |
| Hardware + software data protection | VDD monitoring, glitch filtering, and mandatory unlock sequences prevent accidental writes during power transitions |
| CFI Query support | Enables automatic runtime identification of density, timing, and erase geometry via standardized register map |
| Uniform sector/block organization | 128 sectors × 4 KB + 8 blocks × 64 KB simplifies memory management in real-time OS and bootloaders |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39LF400A-55-4C-EKE | 55 ns read access; 3.0–3.6V only; identical density, pinout, and command set | Requires higher VDD minimum; unsuitable for 2.7V battery-backed or low-power sleep modes | Select when system operates strictly within 3.0–3.6V and demands faster read latency |
| MX29LV400CTTI-70G | Same 4 Mbit x16 density, 70 ns access, 2.7–3.6V; different command set and CFI structure | Requires firmware adaptation for erase/write commands; no native SDP compatibility | Choose only if existing design already uses Macronix-compatible drivers and layout accommodates minor timing variations |
Compared with SST39LF400A-55-4C-EKE, the SST39VF400A-70-4C-EKE trades 15 ns read speed for wider 2.7V operational margin and industrial temp support; versus MX29LV400CTTI-70G, it offers drop-in JEDEC command compatibility and integrated software data protection without driver modification.
