Product details
Overview
SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE from Microchip Technology is a 8 Mbit (512K × 16) CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC with SuperFlash® technology, operating at 2.7–3.6 V, featuring 70 ns read access time, hardware block protection for the bottom 8 KWord boot sector, and JEDEC-standard x16 parallel interface. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded controllers, BIOS firmware modules, and industrial HMI systems.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE datasheet, SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE pinout, SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE application, or SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block architecture (bottom 8 KWord), TSOP-48 packaging, 100,000-cycle endurance, RY/BY# status signaling, and software data protection command sequence compliance.
Technical Context
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE implements a split-gate SuperFlash® cell with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. Its command-set architecture supports JEDEC-standard x16 flash operations including Word-Program (7 µs typical), Sector-Erase (18 ms), Block-Erase (18 ms), and Chip-Erase (40 ms).
It integrates hardware write protection via WP# for bottom boot block (00000H–01FFFH), RST# for hardware reset to Read mode, and RY/BY# open-drain status output requiring external 10 kΩ–100 kΩ pull-up. Data integrity is verified using DQ7 Data# Polling and DQ6/DQ2 Toggle Bits during write cycles.

FAQ
What is the boot block configuration of the SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE?
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE implements bottom boot block protection, covering the lowest 8 KWord address range (00000H–01FFFH). This configuration is fixed and distinct from the top-boot SST39VF802C variant. WP# pin activation locks this region against inadvertent erase or program operations, making SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE ideal for BIOS or bootloader storage where lower-address code must remain immutable.
Does the SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No, the SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE does not require an external VPP voltage. It generates internal high-voltage programming pulses using its on-chip charge pump, enabled solely by the 2.7–3.6 V VDD supply. This eliminates need for auxiliary power rails and simplifies board design-confirmed by Table 9 in DS25041A showing VPP min/max as 0000H (no VPP pin).
How is write completion detected on the SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE?
Write completion on the SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE is detected via three synchronized methods: RY/BY# pin (active-low open-drain signal), DQ7 Data# Polling (complement-to-data toggle), and DQ6 Toggle Bit (alternating 1/0 during operation). All are valid after defined WE# edge timings per operation type-e.g., DQ7 polling becomes valid after the fourth WE# rising edge in Word-Program mode.
What package type is used for the SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE?
The SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE is supplied in a 48-lead TSOP (Thin Small Outline Package) with 12 mm × 20 mm body dimensions and standard JEDEC x16 flash pinout. The "MAQE" suffix explicitly denotes this TSOP-48 variant, distinguishing it from TFBGA or WFBGA versions of the same family.
Is the SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE compatible with JEDEC-standard flash command sets?
Yes, the SST39VF801C-70-4C-MAQE fully complies with JEDEC Standard JESD21-C for x16 flash memories, supporting industry-standard command sequences for Word-Program, Sector-Erase, Block-Erase, and Chip-Erase. It also implements CFI (Common Flash Interface) query mode (entry via 555H/AAH/2AAH/55H/555H/98H) for automated host identification and parameter retrieval.
