Product details
Overview
SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE from Microchip Technology is a 4 Mbit (256K × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC with x16 asynchronous interface, 70 ns read access time, 2.7–3.6 V single-supply operation, and JEDEC-standard pinout. It delivers uniform 2 KWord sector erase and 32 KWord block erase for embedded firmware storage in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE datasheet, SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE pinout, SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE application, or SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE equivalent, key selection criteria include its industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), SuperFlash® endurance (100,000 program/erase cycles), 14 µs word-program time, and hardware/software data protection compliance with JEDEC flash command sets.
Technical Context
This device implements SST's proprietary SuperFlash® technology with split-gate cell architecture and thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program timing independent of cycle count. It supports standard asynchronous parallel bus operations via CE#, OE#, and WE# control signals with latched address/data inputs.
Operation modes include Read, Word-Program, Sector-Erase, Block-Erase, Chip-Erase, and CFI Query-all initiated via JEDEC-compliant six-byte command sequences. End-of-write detection uses DQ7 (Data# Polling) and DQ6 (Toggle Bit), both validated after the sixth WE# pulse for erase commands.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (256K × 16), providing 512 KB of nonvolatile storage for boot code or configuration data |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in systems with ≤14 MHz bus timing budgets |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - supports wide-input industrial power rails without external regulation |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - ensures field-updatable firmware reliability over 10+ years in deployed equipment |

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | A0–A16 used for 256K × 16 addressing; A17 selects upper/lower half of 4 Mbit array per JEDEC mapping |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | x16 bidirectional data bus; outputs 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; required low for all operations |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE?
The SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as specified in the DS25001A datasheet. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including read access time, program/erase timing, and data retention. The "I" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes industrial grade, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like SST39VF400A-70-4C-M1QE.
Does SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No, SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE does not require an external VPP voltage. It features internal VPP generation powered solely by the 2.7–3.6 V VDD supply, eliminating the need for high-voltage programming circuitry. This is confirmed in the "Automatic Write Timing" feature section and Table 6 of the DS25001A datasheet, which lists VPP min/max as 0000H (no VPP pin).
How many erase sectors does SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE contain, and what is their size?
SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE contains 128 uniform sectors, each sized at 2 KWords (4 KB), as defined in Table 8 of the DS25001A datasheet. Sector addressing uses AMS–A11 lines (where AMS = A17 for this 4 Mbit device), enabling precise firmware patching without disturbing adjacent functional code blocks.
Is SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE pin-compatible with SST39LF400A-70-4I-M1QE?
No, SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE is not pin-compatible with SST39LF400A-70-4I-M1QE. While both share identical 48-pin TSOP packaging and JEDEC x16 pinout, the SST39LF400A requires 3.0–3.6 V for program/erase, whereas the SST39VF400A operates at 2.7–3.6 V. Substituting one for the other risks write failure or reduced reliability outside the valid VDD range.
What command sequence is required to initiate a sector erase on SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE?
To initiate sector erase on SST39VF400A-70-4I-M1QE, execute the six-byte JEDEC command sequence: 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/80H → 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → Sector-Address/30H. The sector address is latched on the falling edge of the sixth WE# pulse, and the command (30H) on its rising edge, per Figure 11 and Table 4 of DS25001A.
