Product details
Overview
SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO from Microchip is a 64 Mbit (4M × 16) Multi-Purpose Flash Plus (MPF+) memory IC with bottom-block hardware write protection, 70 ns read access time, 2.7–3.6 V single-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-70-4I-B1KEVAO datasheet, SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO pinout, SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO application, or SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO 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), and TSOP-48/TFFBGA-48 package compatibility.
Technical Context
This device implements SuperFlash split-gate cell technology with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count and lower total energy consumption per operation versus conventional flash. It supports JEDEC-standard command sets including Software Data Protection (SDP) and Common Flash Interface (CFI) query mode.
Operation modes include standard Read (CE#/OE# low), Word-Program (7 µs typical), Sector-Erase (18 ms), Block-Erase (18 ms), Chip-Erase (40 ms), and Erase-Suspend/Resume - all controlled via six-byte command sequences with address latching on WE#/CE# edges and data latching on rising/falling edge transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 64 Mbit (4M × 16 organization), supporting 23-bit addressing (A0–A22) |

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm) and 48-ball TFBGA (8 mm × 10 mm); this part uses TSOP-48 per suffix "B1K" and "EVAO" designation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A21 | Address Inputs | 22-bit address bus (A0–A21); AMS = A21 selects top/bottom block during erase |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus with tri-state outputs controlled by CE#/OE# |
| WE#, OE#, CE# | Control Inputs | Standard x16 asynchronous interface controls: Write Enable, Output Enable, Chip Enable |
| WP# | Hardware Protect | Active-low input that locks bottom 32 KWord block when grounded |
| RST# | Reset Input | Hardware reset to Read mode; terminates in-progress erase/program operations |
| VDD, VSS | Power/Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; dual ground pins for noise reduction |
| NC | No Connection | Unbonded pins (A19, A20 in TSOP; multiple balls in TFBGA) - must be left floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines |
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 |
| Boot Block Protection | Hardware-enabled bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH) lock prevents corruption of critical startup code |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows real-time read access to non-suspended sectors during active erase - essential for multitasking firmware environments |
| Security ID Space | 256-bit factory + user programmable ID (128 + 128 bits) with lock-out capability for secure device authentication |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 9 mA to 3 µA after valid access - cuts standby power without software intervention |

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-B1KEVAO | Top 32 KWord hardware protection instead of bottom; otherwise identical timing, voltage, and command set | Used where boot code resides in upper memory region (3F8000H–3FFFFFH) | Select only if board-level WP# routing matches top-block protection scheme |
| SST38VF6401-70-4I-B1KEVAO | Newer generation with same density, 70 ns speed, but enhanced reliability (200K cycles) and extended temperature range (-40°C to +105°C) | Recommended for new designs per Microchip; supports same TSOP-48 footprint and JEDEC commands | Preferred upgrade path offering longer lifecycle and broader operating margin |
Compared with SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO, SST39VF6402B offers inverted block protection location while SST38VF6401 provides higher endurance and extended temperature rating - both retain pin and command compatibility but differ in protection scope and longevity assurance.

FAQ
What does the "B1K" suffix in SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO indicate?
The "B1K" suffix denotes the 48-lead TSOP package variant (12 mm × 20 mm) with standard pinout and commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C). It distinguishes this version from the TFBGA-48 variant ("B1E") and confirms mechanical and electrical compatibility with JEDEC MO-142 standards. SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO uses this TSOP-48 form factor for through-hole or surface-mount PCB integration.
Does SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO support both sector and block erase operations?
Yes, SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO supports uniform 2 KWord sector erase (18 ms typical) and uniform 32 KWord block erase (18 ms typical), initiated via JEDEC-standard six-byte command sequences. Sector erase uses command 50H with AMS–A11 address lines; block erase uses 30H with AMS–A15. Both operations honor WP# state and support Erase-Suspend/Resume functionality.
How is hardware write protection implemented in SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO?
SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO implements bottom-block hardware protection: when WP# is driven low, the bottom 32 KWord (000000H–007FFFH) is locked against program and erase operations. This protects boot code stored in the lowest memory region. If WP# floats, an internal pull-up holds it high, disabling protection - so external grounding is required for enforcement.
Is SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO compatible with standard x16 flash memory interfaces?
Yes, SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO conforms fully to JEDEC standard pin assignments and command sequences for x16 asynchronous flash memories. It supports common protocols including Software Data Protection (SDP), CFI Query, and Product Identification - enabling drop-in replacement for legacy devices like AMD AM29LV640DB or Intel TE28F640W18 without interface redesign.
What is the significance of the "Not Recommended for New Designs" status for SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO?
Microchip designates SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO as "Not Recommended for New Designs" due to the introduction of the improved SST38VF640x series, which offers higher endurance (200K cycles), extended temperature range (-40°C to +105°C), and enhanced reliability. SST39VF6401B-70-4I-B1KEVAO remains fully supported for existing designs and legacy replacements but should not be selected for newly initiated projects.
