Product details
Overview
SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE from Microchip is a 64 Mbit (4M × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus (MPF+) memory IC with bottom-block hardware write protection, 70 ns read access time, single 2.7–3.6 V supply operation, and JEDEC-standard x16 asynchronous interface - used for firmware storage and configuration in industrial embedded controllers and legacy boot systems.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE datasheet, SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE pinout, SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE application, or SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE equivalent, key selection considerations include bottom-boot block protection (000000H–007FFFH), 100,000-cycle endurance, sector/block/erase-suspend capability, TSOP-48 or TFBGA-48 packaging, and compatibility with standard flash command sets including CFI and Security ID.
Technical Context
The SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE implements SuperFlash technology with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injection, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. It supports uniform 2 KWord sectors (2048 total) and 32 KWord blocks (128 total), with hardware WP#-controlled bottom-block protection and RST#-driven hardware reset.
Operation relies on JEDEC-compliant command sequences: three-byte load for word-program, six-byte sequences for sector/block/chip-erase (50H/30H/10H), and dedicated commands for Erase-Suspend (B0H), Security ID access (88H), and CFI Query (98H). Status detection uses DQ7 Data# Polling and DQ6/DQ2 Toggle Bits, with Auto Low Power mode reducing active read current to 3 µA after valid access.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 64 Mbit (4M × 16 organization); supports 22-bit addressing (A0–A21) with 11-bit internal address bus (A0–A10). |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns max; enables direct execution (XIP) from flash in microcontroller boot loaders without wait states at moderate clock speeds. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V single supply; eliminates need for separate VPP programming voltage - internal charge pump handles high-voltage generation. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 program/erase cycles typical; >100 years data retention - validated for long-life industrial firmware storage. |
| Erase/Program Speed | Sector-erase: 18 ms typ; block-erase: 18 ms typ; chip-erase: 40 ms typ; word-program: 7 µs typ - deterministic timing simplifies real-time system scheduling. |
| Protection Scheme | Hardware bottom-block protection (000000H–007FFFH); software data protection (SDP) enabled by default; Security ID (128-bit factory + 128-bit user). |
| Interface Standard | JEDEC-standard x16 asynchronous parallel interface; compatible with common flash controllers and boot ROM interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball TFBGA (8 mm × 10 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) per Figure 3; also available in 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm). Pinout conforms to JEDEC standard for x16 flash memories.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A21 | Address Inputs | A0–A10 used for byte/word addressing; A11–A21 select sector (AMS–A11) or block (AMS–A15); AMS = A21. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; latched internally during write; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low device selection; must be low for all write/erase operations and valid reads. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gating; controls data bus drive; high disables outputs (high-Z state). |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for write cycles; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per JEDEC timing. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock for bottom 32 KWord boot block (000000H–007FFFH); floating = unprotected via internal pull-up. |
| RST# | Reset | Active-low hardware reset; terminates ongoing operations and forces return to read mode within TRP. |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; dual ground pins (VSS) for noise reduction in high-speed parallel bus operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase-Suspend/Erase-Resume | Allows reading or programming non-suspended sectors during active erase - critical for real-time firmware updates without halting system operation. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 9 mA to 3 µA after valid access - cuts standby power in always-on embedded systems without software intervention. |
| Security ID Space | 256-bit space (128-bit factory-locked + 128-bit user-programmable) accessible via 88H command - enables secure device authentication and firmware binding. |
| CFI Compliance | Full Common Flash Interface support (Query string "QRY", geometry tables, timeout parameters) - enables plug-and-play integration with generic flash drivers. |
| Uniform Block Architecture | 128 × 32 KWord blocks + 2048 × 2 KWord sectors - simplifies memory management and wear-leveling in host firmware. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST38VF6401 | Successor device; same density and voltage range but enhanced reliability (200K cycles), lower 55 ns access, and extended -40°C to +105°C temp grade. | Recommended for new designs; supports higher-speed boot and wider industrial temperature range. | Select SST38VF6401 for new projects requiring longer lifecycle, faster access, or extended temperature operation. |
| MX29LV640ETTI-70G | 64 Mbit x16 parallel flash from Macronix; 70 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V supply, bottom-boot block, but no Security ID or Erase-Suspend. | Lacks suspend/resume and secure ID features; suitable where basic firmware storage suffices without advanced management. | Choose MX29LV640ETTI-70G only if cost sensitivity outweighs need for suspend capability and hardware security. |
Compared with SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE, SST38VF6401 offers higher endurance and speed for future-proofing, while MX29LV640ETTI-70G provides basic functionality at lower cost but omits critical features like Erase-Suspend and Security ID - making it unsuitable for secure or real-time update scenarios.

FAQ
What does the "B1KE" suffix indicate in SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE?
The "B1KE" suffix denotes the package and marking variant: "B1" specifies the 48-ball TFBGA package (8 mm × 10 mm), "K" indicates lead-free (RoHS-compliant) finish, and "E" designates tape-and-reel packaging. This matches the official Microchip ordering code structure for SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE as documented in DS20005008C.
Does SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE support both TSOP and TFBGA packages?
Yes - SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE is the TFBGA variant; the TSOP-48 version is designated SST39VF6401B-70-4C-EKE. Both share identical electrical specifications, command set, and bottom-block protection, differing only in mechanical form factor and thermal characteristics per their respective package drawings in DS20005008C Figures 2 and 3.
How is bottom-block protection implemented in SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE?
SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE implements hardware bottom-block protection for the lowest 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH) via the WP# pin: when WP# is driven low, program and erase operations to that region are inhibited. If WP# floats, an internal pull-up disables protection - allowing full array access. This differs from SST39VF6402B, which protects the top block instead.
Can SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE be used in place of SST39VF6402B?
No - SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE and SST39VF6402B are not interchangeable due to opposite hardware block protection schemes: SST39VF6401B protects the bottom 32 KWord block (000000H–007FFFH), while SST39VF6402B protects the top block (3F8000H–3FFFFFH). Swapping them risks unintended erasure of protected boot code unless WP# behavior and address mapping are revalidated.
What status detection methods does SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE support during write operations?
SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE supports two real-time status detection methods: Data# Polling (DQ7 toggles until completion, then returns true data) and Toggle Bits (DQ6 toggles during internal program/erase, stops when complete). DQ2 provides additional context for erase-suspended sectors. These are initiated automatically after the rising edge of WE# or CE# per the command sequence timing in DS20005008C Figures 7–8.
