Product details
Overview
SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE from Microchip Technology is a 4 Mbit (256K × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC using SuperFlash technology, operating at 2.7–3.6 V with 70 ns read access time, 14 µs word-program time, and JEDEC-standard x16 asynchronous interface. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded controllers requiring sector/block erase, data retention >100 years, and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE datasheet, SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE pinout, SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE application, or SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE equivalent, key selection criteria include voltage range compatibility (2.7–3.6 V), TSOP-48 package footprint, 70 ns read timing, software data protection command sequence, and CFI query support for system-level identification.
Technical Context
The SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE implements a split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed 14 µs word-program and 18 ms sector/block-erase times independent of cycle count. Its control logic accepts standard JEDEC command sequences via CE#, OE#, and WE# with latched address/data buses.
It supports three erase granularities-2 KWord sectors (128 total), 32 KWord blocks (8 total), and full-chip erase-with end-of-write detection via DQ7 Data# Polling and DQ6 Toggle Bit. The device integrates hardware noise/glitch protection, VDD power-up/down detection, and permanent Software Data Protection (SDP) enabled at shipment.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF400A-70-4C-MAQE | Commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C); identical electrical specs and pinout | Limited to climate-controlled indoor equipment; not rated for extended industrial thermal stress | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for –40°C startup or sustained high-temp operation |
| MX29LV400CTTI-70G | 4 Mbit x16, 70 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; uses different command set and lacks CFI query; requires external VPP for some operations | Requires firmware driver modification; no runtime geometry detection; higher system-level validation effort | Consider only if legacy design already uses MX29LV family and board layout cannot accommodate new command timing |
Compared with SST39VF400A-70-4C-MAQE, the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE adds industrial temperature qualification without trade-offs in speed or endurance; versus MX29LV400CTTI-70G, it offers superior system integration via CFI support, lower voltage flexibility, and elimination of external VPP circuitry.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE?
The SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE is organized as 256K × 16, delivering 4 Mbit (512 KB) of x16-addressable nonvolatile memory. This structure supports efficient 16-bit microprocessor and microcontroller bus interfaces without byte-lane multiplexing. Address lines A0–A16 cover the base 256K words, while A17 selects the upper memory half - a requirement confirmed in Table 1 and Figure 2 for the 4 Mbit variant.
Does the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No, the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE does not require external VPP. It generates all necessary high-voltage programming signals internally using its on-chip charge pump, as stated in the "Automatic Write Timing" feature and confirmed in Table 6 (VPP min/max = 0000H). Programming and erasing operate solely from the 2.7–3.6 V VDD supply.
How is write completion detected on the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE?
Write completion on the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE is detected using two software methods: Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6). After the fourth WE# pulse in program mode or sixth in erase mode, DQ7 returns true data upon completion, while DQ6 stops toggling. Both are valid simultaneously and require no additional hardware - details are specified in Sections 7–8 and Figures 8–9 of DS25001A.
What package type is used for the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE?
The SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE uses a 48-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) with 12 mm × 20 mm body dimensions and standard JEDEC pinout, as shown in Figure 2 and confirmed in the "Packages Available" section. The suffix "MAQE" explicitly denotes this TSOP-48 industrial-grade variant per Microchip's packaging nomenclature.
Is the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE compatible with Common Flash Interface (CFI) hosts?
Yes, the SST39VF400A-70-4I-MAQE fully supports CFI. Writing the three-byte sequence (5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/98H) enters CFI Query mode, enabling host software to read device geometry, voltage ranges, and timing parameters from standardized addresses (Table 5–9). This allows plug-and-play integration with CFI-aware bootloaders and flash utilities.
