Product details
Overview
SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T 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 control panels and legacy embedded boot systems.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T datasheet, SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T pinout, SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T application, or SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T equivalent, key selection considerations include bottom-boot block protection (000000H–007FFFH), 100,000-cycle endurance, sector/block/chip erase support, Auto Low Power mode (3 µA standby), and TSOP-48 package compatibility with legacy x16 parallel bus designs.
Technical Context
The SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T implements SuperFlash split-gate cell technology enabling fixed 7 µs word-program and 18 ms sector/block erase times independent of cycle count. Its command-set architecture supports JEDEC-standard software data protection (three-byte unlock + address/data load) and CFI query mode for automatic system identification.
Hardware block protection is implemented via WP# pin assertion to lock the bottom 32 KWord (256 KB) boot block (000000H–007FFFH); RST# provides hardware reset to Read mode; and DQ6/DQ7 status bits enable real-time erase/program completion detection without polling overhead.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash Technology | Split-gate cell with thick-oxide tunneling injector enables fixed 7 µs program and 18 ms erase times across full lifecycle |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows read access to non-suspended sectors during active erase - critical for real-time interrupt handling in bootloaders |
| Security ID | 256-bit space (128-bit factory + 128-bit user) for secure device authentication and firmware binding |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Automatically transitions from 9 mA active read to 3 µA after valid access - no software intervention required |
| JEDEC Command Compatibility | Software command set matches industry-standard flash devices, reducing porting effort for existing BSPs |

FAQ
What does the "B1KE-T" suffix indicate in SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T?
The "B1KE-T" suffix denotes a 48-lead TSOP package (B1), lead-free (K), tape-and-reel packaging (E), and commercial temperature grade (T: 0°C to +70°C). It confirms RoHS compliance and surface-mount compatibility per JEDEC MO-142AB standard. The SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T uses this exact package variant for board-level integration into legacy industrial PCBs.
Does SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T support both sector and block erase operations?
Yes, the SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T supports uniform 2 KWord sector erase (18 ms typical) and uniform 32 KWord block erase (18 ms typical), initiated via distinct six-byte command sequences (50H for sector, 30H for block). Both operations respect WP# state and can be suspended/resumed using B0H/30H commands - a capability confirmed in DS20005008C Section 6.
How is hardware write protection implemented on SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T?
Hardware write protection on SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T is enabled by grounding the WP# pin, which locks the bottom 32 KWord (256 KB) boot block (000000H–007FFFH) against program and erase operations. When WP# floats, an internal pull-up holds it high, disabling protection. This behavior is specific to SST39VF6401B and differs from SST39VF6402B's top-block protection.
What status detection methods does SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T provide for erase/program completion?
The SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T provides two hardware-supported status detection methods: Data# Polling (DQ7 toggles to true data upon completion) and Toggle Bit (DQ6 toggles during operation and stops when complete). Both are valid after the rising edge of the sixth WE# pulse for erase and fourth WE# pulse for program - enabling efficient polling without timer dependencies.
Is SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T compatible with JEDEC-standard x16 flash command sets?
Yes, the SST39VF6401B-70-4C-B1KE-T implements JEDEC-standard pin assignments and software command sequences, including three-byte unlock for program and six-byte sequences for sector/block/chip erase. Its CFI Query mode (98H command) returns standardized geometry and timing data - ensuring interoperability with generic flash drivers and programming tools.
