Product details
Overview
SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T from Microchip Technology is a 8 Mbit (512K × 16) Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC with 70 ns read access time, single 2.7–3.6V supply operation, and bottom-boot block protection. It features uniform 2 KWord sector erase, flexible block architecture (including one 8 KWord and fifteen 32 KWord blocks), and hardware write protection via WP# pin. Used in embedded firmware storage for industrial controllers requiring field-upgradable code.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T datasheet, SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T pinout, SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T application, or SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block configuration (bottom 8 KWord protected), JEDEC-compliant x16 parallel interface timing, SuperFlash® endurance (100,000 cycles), and TSOP-48 package compatibility with legacy 8-bit/16-bit microcontroller buses.
Technical Context
This device implements SST's proprietary SuperFlash® technology with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count-unlike conventional flash. Its command-set architecture supports JEDEC-standard software data protection (SDP) with six-byte sequences for sector/block/chip erase and three-byte sequences for word-program.
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T integrates dual status detection: Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bits (DQ6/DQ2), plus open-drain RY/BY# output for hardware-ready signaling. It supports Erase-Suspend/Erase-Resume for real-time read/program during background erase, and includes factory-programmed 128-bit Security ID plus 128-word user-programmable ID space.

| Package | 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm); industry-standard footprint for drop-in replacement in existing PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
48-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package), standard JEDEC MO-142AC footprint, 12 mm × 20 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; top view, die up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus; A18 is most significant bit; AMS = A18 for sector/block selection |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; latched internally during write; tri-state when CE# or OE# high |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (3 µA) when high; required to initiate all operations |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drivers independently of CE# for multiplexed bus sharing |
| 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 boot block (00000H–01FFFH); floating = internal pull-up = unprotected |
| RST# | Reset | Active-low hardware reset; forces return to Read mode; terminates in-progress erase/program |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy# | Open-drain status output; low = active erase/program; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up |
| VDD | Power Supply | +2.7–3.6V supply; powers core and I/O; no separate VPP required due to on-chip charge pump |
| VSS | Ground | Digital ground reference; two dedicated pins (pins 3 and 48) reduce noise coupling |
| NC | No Connection | Pins 2, 25, 32, 34, 36, 40, 42, 44, 46 - electrically isolated; must not be connected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Split-gate cell with thick-oxide injector enables fixed 7 µs word-program and 18 ms sector-erase times across full lifecycle |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows reading from non-suspended sectors or programming other blocks during active erase-critical for real-time OS firmware updates |
| Security ID Space | Factory-locked 128-bit ID + 128-word user-programmable ID; supports secure boot authentication and device binding |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 5 mA to 3 µA after valid access; cuts dynamic power in intermittently polled systems |
| JEDEC-Compliant Interface | Standard x16 pinout and command set (e.g., 555H/AAH/2AAH/55H sequences); ensures interoperability with legacy BIOS/UEFI and FPGA controllers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF802C-70-4C-B3KE-T | Top-boot configuration (7E000H–7FFFFH protected); identical timing, voltage, and package | Used where bootloader resides in top memory region; incompatible pin-for-pin replacement due to reversed boot-block mapping | Select only if system firmware layout requires top-boot protection and address decoding matches SST39VF802C block table |
| MX29LV800CTTI-70G | 70 ns access, 3.0–3.6V supply, 48-TSOP; lacks Erase-Suspend and Security ID; uses different SDP command sequence | Lower-cost alternative for static firmware storage without runtime update requirements | Choose when Erase-Suspend, Security ID, or bottom-boot protection are not required; verify command-set compatibility in bootloader code |
Compared with SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T, the SST39VF802C variant swaps boot-block location (top vs. bottom), while the MX29LV800CTTI offers baseline functionality at lower cost but omits advanced features like suspend/resume and secure ID-making it suitable only for fixed, non-updatable firmware deployments.

FAQ
What is the boot-block configuration of SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T?
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T implements bottom-boot block protection, covering address range 00000H–01FFFH (8 KWord). This configuration safeguards the bootloader region from accidental erase or program when WP# is grounded. Unlike the SST39VF802C variant, which protects the top 8 KWord, the SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T is intended for systems where critical startup code resides at the lowest memory addresses.
Does SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T require an external VPP voltage?
No, the SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T does not require an external VPP voltage. It integrates an on-chip charge pump to generate internal programming voltages, enabling full read and write operations using only the 2.7–3.6V VDD supply. This eliminates the need for additional power rails and simplifies board design compared to older flash technologies.
How is write completion detected on SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T?
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T supports three concurrent write completion detection methods: Data# Polling (monitoring DQ7), Toggle Bit (monitoring DQ6 toggling), and Ready/Busy# (RY/BY# pin assertion). All methods are valid after the rising edge of the fourth WE# pulse for word-program and sixth WE# pulse for erase operations, enabling flexible host controller integration.
Can SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T be used in systems requiring Erase-Suspend functionality?
Yes, the SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T fully supports Erase-Suspend and Erase-Resume commands (B0H and 30H respectively). This allows a host system to temporarily halt an ongoing sector or block erase, read data from unprotected regions, or program other blocks-enabling real-time firmware updates without interrupting critical operations.
What package type is used for SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T?
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-B3KE-T is packaged in a 48-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) with JEDEC MO-142AC footprint (12 mm × 20 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch). This standard package ensures mechanical and thermal compatibility with legacy PCB layouts designed for parallel NOR flash memory in industrial and automotive applications.
