Product details
Overview
SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T from Microchip Technology is a 8 Mbit (512K × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC with SuperFlash® technology, designed for embedded program/data storage in microcontroller-based systems. It operates at 2.7–3.6 V, delivers 70 ns read access time, supports sector/block/chip erase, and features hardware write protection via WP# pin for bottom 8 KWord boot block (00000H–01FFFH).
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T datasheet, SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T pinout, SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T application, or SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in JEDEC-compliant x16 flash replacement requiring attention to boot-block layout, RY/BY# pull-up, and software data protection command sequencing.
Technical Context
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T implements a split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture enabling fixed 7 µs word-program and 18 ms sector/block-erase times independent of endurance cycles. Its command interface follows JEDEC-standard x16 flash protocols, with six-byte sequences for erase operations and three-byte sequences for program initiation.
It integrates dual status detection-Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bits (DQ6/DQ2)-plus open-drain RY/BY# output for real-time operation monitoring. Hardware block protection targets the bottom 8 KWord (00000H–01FFFH), while Security ID provides factory-locked 128-bit and user-programmable 128-word segments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 8 Mbit (512K × 16 organization), directly maps to 1 MB of 16-bit addressable space. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - determines minimum bus cycle timing for CPU or controller interfacing. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - enables single-supply operation in 3.3 V systems without level-shifting. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - supports field firmware updates over product lifetime. |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications. |
| Active Current | 5 mA typical at 5 MHz - defines peak power draw during read bursts. |
| Standby Current | 3 µA typical - enables ultra-low-power hold state in battery-backed systems. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-lead TSOP (12 mm × 20 mm), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC-standard x16 flash footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | A0–A17 select 512K words; A18 used only in sector/block address decoding per JEDEC command protocol. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional bus; latched internally during write; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low to enable read/write; high forces standby mode. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; high places outputs in high-impedance state. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Controls write strobe timing; falling edge latches address, rising edge latches data/command. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Hardware lock for bottom 8 KWord boot block (00000H–01FFFH); grounded = protected. |
| RST# | Reset Input | Hardware abort of ongoing erase/program; returns device to read mode within TRP delay. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy Output | Open-drain status signal; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up; low = operation in progress. |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; decoupling capacitor required near VDD pin for noise immunity. |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pins (e.g., A13, A14 on TSOP); must remain floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Fixed 7 µs word-program and 18 ms erase times across full endurance life-no software de-rating needed. |
| Boot Block Protection | Hardware-protected bottom 8 KWord (00000H–01FFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code. |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows temporary halt of sector/block erase to read or program other regions-critical for real-time systems. |
| Security ID | Factory-programmed 128-bit ID + 128-word user space, locked after programming to prevent tampering. |
| CFI Support | JEDEC Common Flash Interface enables automatic driver detection and configuration in OS/bootloader stacks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV800CTTI-70G | 8 Mbit x16, 70 ns, 2.7–3.6 V, but uses different command set and lacks Erase-Suspend. | No hardware boot-block protection; requires software-managed lock bits instead of WP#-based hardware lock. | Choose if legacy MX29LV compatibility is required and Erase-Suspend is not needed. |
| S29GL064N90TFI010 | 64 Mbit x16, 90 ns, 2.7–3.6 V, with enhanced ECC and sector protection registers. | Higher density and slower access; includes built-in error correction not present in SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T. | Choose for future-proofing with larger image storage and robustness in high-radiation environments. |
Compared with MX29LV800CTTI-70G and S29GL064N90TFI010, the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T offers superior erase/program speed consistency, hardware boot-block protection, and lower active current-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, real-time embedded systems where deterministic timing and bootloader safety are critical.

FAQ
What is the boot block configuration of the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T?
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T implements bottom boot block protection covering the lowest 8 KWord (00000H–01FFFH). This region is hardware-locked when WP# is grounded, preventing accidental erase or program during system operation or power transitions. The SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T does not support top-boot configuration-only SST39VF802C variants do.
Does the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T require an external VPP voltage?
No, the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T generates internal VPP for erase and program operations using its 2.7–3.6 V VDD supply-no external high-voltage source is needed. This simplifies board design and eliminates VPP-related routing and decoupling complexity. All voltage regulation and charge-pump functions are integrated within the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T die.
How is write completion detected on the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T?
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T supports three concurrent write-status detection methods: Data# Polling (DQ7 toggles until completion), Toggle Bits (DQ6 toggles during operation), and Ready/Busy# (RY/BY# open-drain output pulled low during activity). These mechanisms allow flexible host-side polling or interrupt-driven handling without fixed timeout delays. All three are fully functional on the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T.
Can the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T be used in place of SST39VF802C devices?
No-the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T and SST39VF802C differ in boot block location (bottom vs. top), security ID lock behavior, and factory-programmed device ID (233BH vs. 233AH). Swapping them risks bootloader corruption or failed identification. The SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T must be used only where bottom-boot architecture is explicitly required.
What package type is used in the SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T variant?
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-EKE-T uses a 48-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) with 12 mm × 20 mm body size and standard JEDEC MO-141AC footprint. The "EKE" suffix explicitly denotes this TSOP package; alternate variants use "T" (TFBGA) or "W" (WFBGA) suffixes. Pin compatibility is maintained across packages, but thermal and mechanical design rules differ.
