Product details
Overview
SST39VF6401B-70-4I-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, and single 2.7–3.6 V supply operation. It supports sector/block/chip erase, erase-suspend/resume, and Security ID programming, and is used in embedded firmware storage for industrial controllers and legacy communication modules.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE datasheet, SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE pinout, SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE application, or SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE equivalent, key selection considerations include bottom-boot block protection (000000H–007FFFH), TSOP-48/TFFBGA-48 packaging, JEDEC x16 pin compatibility, SuperFlash endurance (100,000 cycles), and Auto Low Power mode (3 µA standby).
Technical Context
The SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE implements a split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. It uses standard JEDEC x16 asynchronous interface timing and supports command-set compatibility with industry-standard flash devices.
Its hardware block protection targets the bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH), activated when WP# is grounded. Erase-suspend/resume allows real-time read access during active erase operations, while Security ID provides factory-locked (128-bit) and user-programmable (128-bit) identification space.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 4M × 16 (64 Mbit); enables 16-bit parallel data bus interfacing with microcontrollers and DSPs |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns; ensures compatibility with 14 MHz system clocks without wait states |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V; supports single-supply operation in battery-backed and low-voltage industrial systems |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles; guarantees long-term field reliability in firmware update applications |
| Data Retention | >100 years; eliminates need for periodic refresh in unpowered storage scenarios |
| Block Protection | Bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH); prevents accidental overwrite of boot code during field updates |
| Standby Current | 3 µA (typical); reduces power budget in always-on embedded nodes |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm) and 48-ball TFBGA (8 mm × 10 mm). The SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE variant is specified with TSOP-48 packaging per Microchip DS20005008C.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A21 | Address Inputs | 22-bit address bus (A21 most significant); A10–A0 used for command decoding per JEDEC |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional latched data bus; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby when high |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus visibility during read cycles |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for program/erase command latching and internal timing initiation |
| WP# | Write Protect | Grounding protects bottom 32 KWord boot block; floating = internally pulled high = unprotected |
| RST# | Hardware Reset | Forces immediate return to read mode; required after power-up or error recovery |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; dual ground pins reduce noise coupling in high-speed reads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Enables real-time read access from non-suspended sectors during active erase - critical for interrupt-driven firmware updates |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 9 mA to 3 µA after valid read access - cuts dynamic power by >99% in burst-read scenarios |
| Security ID Space | 256-bit total (128-bit factory-locked + 128-bit user-programmable) - supports secure device authentication and traceability |
| Uniform Sector/Block Architecture | 2 KWord sectors (2048 total) and 32 KWord blocks (128 total) - simplifies wear leveling and partition management in host firmware |
| Toggle Bit & Data# Polling | Dual status detection (DQ6/DQ7) enables robust, clock-independent end-of-write verification without external timers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF6402B-70-4I-B1KE | Top 32 KWord hardware block protection (3F8000H–3FFFFFH) instead of bottom; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and command set | Used where boot code resides in top memory region - requires PCB-level WP# routing change | Select only if top-boot architecture matches system memory map; not drop-in compatible due to inverted protection region |
| SST38VF6401-70-4I-B1KE | Newer generation with same density and 70 ns speed, but enhanced reliability (200K cycles), lower VDD min (2.3 V), and extended temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) | Recommended for new designs per Microchip; supports wider voltage margin and higher thermal stress environments | Preferred for production ramp; SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE remains viable for legacy replacement and obsolescence mitigation |
Compared with SST39VF6402B-70-4I-B1KE, the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE provides bottom-boot protection essential for legacy x86-compatible BIOS layouts; versus SST38VF6401-70-4I-B1KE, it lacks 2.3 V operation and 200K-cycle endurance but maintains full software and pin compatibility for drop-in replacement in existing designs.

FAQ
What is the boot block protection scheme implemented in the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE?
The SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE implements bottom hardware block protection covering the lowest 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH), activated when the WP# pin is grounded. This prevents accidental program/erase of boot code during field updates. If WP# is left floating, an internal pull-up disables protection. The SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE differs from SST39VF6402B in using bottom rather than top protection.
Does the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE support both TSOP and TFBGA packages?
Yes - the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE is qualified in both 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm) and 48-ball TFBGA (8 mm × 10 mm) packages per DS20005008C. The "-B1KE" suffix denotes the TSOP-48 variant; TFBGA variants use different ordering codes (e.g., "-B1KE" vs. "-B1KE-TFBGA"). Pin functions and timing are identical across packages.
How does the Auto Low Power mode function in the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE?
The SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE enters Auto Low Power mode automatically after a valid read cycle completes, reducing active current from 9 mA to 3 µA. It exits instantly on any address or control signal transition - with zero access time penalty. This feature is disabled during power-up if CE# remains low; the first address change triggers entry.
Can the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE be used as a direct replacement for SST39VF6402B-70-4I-B1KE?
No - while pinout, timing, and command set are identical, the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE protects the bottom 32 KWord boot block, whereas SST39VF6402B-70-4I-B1KE protects the top 32 KWord. Swapping them without adjusting WP# routing and memory map risks corrupting protected regions. They are functional alternatives but not drop-in replacements.
What is the purpose of the Security ID feature in the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE?
The SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KE includes a 256-bit Security ID: 128 bits factory-programmed and locked by Microchip, plus 128 bits user-programmable. It supports device authentication, traceability, and anti-cloning. The user segment is programmed via dedicated commands and can be permanently locked to prevent overwrite - neither segment is erasable.
