Product details
Overview
SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T from Microchip is a 64 Mbit (4M × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus 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.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T datasheet, SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T pinout, SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T application, or SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T equivalent, key selection considerations include bottom-boot block protection (000000H–007FFFH), 100,000-cycle endurance, 3 µA standby current, sector/block/chip erase support, and TSOP-48 packaging compatibility with legacy x16 NOR flash designs.
Technical Context
The SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T implements SuperFlash split-gate technology with thick-oxide tunneling injection, enabling fixed 7 µs word-program and 18 ms sector/block-erase times independent of cycle count. It uses standard microprocessor bus timing with latched address/data and supports JEDEC command-set compatibility for drop-in replacement in existing NOR flash systems.
Hardware data protection includes WP#-controlled bottom 32 KWord block lock, RST#-initiated hard reset, and noise/glitch immunity on WE#/CE#. Software Data Protection requires validated three-byte (Program) or six-byte (Erase) command sequences, with status detection via DQ6 toggle bit or DQ7 polling.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF6402B-70-4I-EKE-T | Top-block protection (3F8000H–3FFFFFH) instead of bottom-block; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and command set | Used where boot code resides in top memory region; not interchangeable without firmware address remapping | Select only if system architecture requires top-boot protection - no PCB change needed, but software must validate address range |
| SST38VF6401-70-4I-EKE-T | Newer generation with same density/timing but enhanced reliability, lower 2.3–3.6 V voltage range, and extended -40°C to +105°C temp grade | Recommended for new designs per Microchip; supports higher ambient temps and wider supply tolerance | Preferred for new projects requiring longer lifecycle support; requires validation of voltage margin and thermal derating |
Compared with SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T, SST39VF6402B-70-4I-EKE-T offers mirrored block protection for top-boot systems, while SST38VF6401-70-4I-EKE-T provides improved voltage flexibility and temperature range - both retain JEDEC x16 compatibility but differ in protection scope and longevity roadmap.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T?
The SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T is organized as 4M × 16, delivering 64 Mbit (8 MB) of storage in uniform 2 KWord (4 KB) sectors and 32 KWord (64 KB) blocks. Its bottom 32 KWord block (000000H–007FFFH) is hardware-protected via the WP# pin, making it ideal for secure boot loader storage in the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T.
Does the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T support JEDEC-standard commands?
Yes, the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T implements JEDEC-standard pin assignments and software command sequences for Program, Sector-Erase (50H), Block-Erase (30H), and Chip-Erase (10H). It also supports CFI Query mode (98H) for automated driver detection - all fully documented in the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T datasheet.
What is the purpose of the RST# pin on the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T?
The RST# pin on the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T provides hardware-initiated recovery: holding RST# low for ≥TRP aborts any active Program or Erase operation and forces the device back into Read mode. After release, a minimum TRHR delay is required before valid reads resume - a critical feature for fault recovery in the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T.
How does hardware write protection work on the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T?
Hardware write protection on the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T is enabled by grounding the WP# pin, which locks the bottom 32 KWord boot block (000000H–007FFFH) against Program and Erase operations. If WP# floats, an internal pull-up disables protection - this behavior is explicitly defined for the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T in its datasheet Table 3.
Is the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T still recommended for new designs?
No - Microchip explicitly marks the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T as "Not Recommended for New Designs" in DS20005008C. The SST38VF6401-70-4I-EKE-T is the designated replacement, offering improved voltage range (2.3–3.6 V), extended temperature grade (-40°C to +105°C), and continued long-term support - essential context when evaluating the SST39VF6401B-70-4I-EKE-T.
