Product details
Overview
SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE from Microchip Technology is a 8 Mbit (512K × 16) Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC with 70 ns read access time, single 2.7–3.6 V supply operation, and bottom-boot block protection. It delivers 100,000 program/erase cycles, >100 years data retention, and supports sector/block/chip erase for embedded firmware storage in industrial controllers and legacy system upgrades.
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE datasheet, SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE pinout, SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE application, or SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (48-ball WFBGA), JEDEC-compliant x16 interface timing, hardware write protection via WP#, and confirmed boot-block address range (00000H–01FFFH) - all critical for PCB layout, firmware update architecture, and drop-in replacement validation.
Technical Context
This device implements SST's SuperFlash® technology with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count - eliminating software de-rating required by conventional flash. Its command-set architecture follows JEDEC standard pinouts and supports three-byte software data protection for Word-Program and six-byte sequences for Sector-, Block-, and Chip-Erase.
The SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE integrates RY/BY# (open-drain ready/busy), hardware reset (RST#), and dual status detection (DQ7 Data# Polling and DQ6 Toggle Bit) to synchronize host operations without polling overhead. Its bottom-boot configuration protects the lowest 8 KWord (00000H–01FFFH), distinguishing it from top-boot variants like SST39VF802C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 8 Mbit (512K × 16 organization) - supports 16-bit parallel bus interface with full addressable space up to 0xFFFFF. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct connection to 14 MHz microcontrollers without wait states in standard mode. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V systems and tolerant of brown-out conditions down to 2.7 V during active operation. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles - validated for firmware field updates over 10+ years in deployed industrial equipment. |
| Data Retention | >100 years - ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage for calibration tables and configuration data. |
| Erase Architecture | Uniform 2 KWord sectors + flexible blocks (one 8-, two 4-, one 16-, fifteen 32-KWord) - allows granular firmware partitioning and recovery image isolation. |
| Boot Block Protection | Bottom 8 KWord (00000H–01FFFH) - safeguards bootloader code from accidental overwrite during application updates. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball WFBGA (4 mm × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant, bottom-side thermal pad not electrically connected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus (A0–A18); A16–A18 used for block/sector selection during erase commands. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; latched internally during writes; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low to enable read/write; high = standby (3 µA). |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; high = high-impedance state. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for write cycles; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per JEDEC timing. |
| WP# | Hardware Write Protect | Active-low; grounds to lock bottom 8 KWord boot block (00000H–01FFFH) against erase/program. |
| RST# | Hardware Reset | Active-low; forces immediate return to Read mode; required TRP pulse width ≥ 100 ns. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy# | Open-drain status indicator; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up; low = internal operation in progress. |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 5 mm of pin. |
| VSS | Ground | System ground reference; two dedicated pins for low-noise signal integrity. |
| NC | No Connection | Unbonded pads (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, A10, A11, A12, A13, A14, A15, A17); must remain floating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Split-gate cell with thick-oxide injector enables fixed 18 ms sector/block erase time across full lifecycle - no software adaptation needed as endurance accumulates. |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows real-time read access to non-suspended sectors during active erase; critical for dual-bank firmware update without halting system operation. |
| Security ID Space | Factory-programmed 128-bit ID + 128-word user-programmable segment - enables secure device authentication and OEM feature locking. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 5 mA to 3 µA after valid access - cuts power in intermittently polled status registers or configuration stores. |
| JEDEC Standard Compliance | Pinout and command set conform to JEDEC 44.4 for x16 flash - ensures interoperability with existing memory controllers and BIOS/UEFI firmware stacks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF802C-70-4I-B3KE | Top-boot configuration (7E000H–7FFFFH protected), otherwise identical electrical/timing specs and pinout. | Used where bootloader resides in highest memory region; incompatible for bottom-boot designs without address remapping. | Select only if target system requires top-boot protection and address space alignment matches. |
| MX29LV800CTTI-70G | Same density, 70 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V supply; uses different command set (no CFI support); 48-TSOP only (no WFBGA). | Lacks Erase-Suspend and Security ID; requires modified driver firmware; unsuitable for space-constrained WFBGA layouts. | Consider only for cost-sensitive TSOP-based designs where advanced features are unused. |
Compared with SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE, the SST39VF802C variant offers identical performance but inverted boot-block location - requiring PCB-level address routing changes - while the MX29LV800CTTI demands firmware rework and sacrifices package flexibility and security features.

FAQ
What is the boot block configuration of SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE?
The SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE implements bottom-boot block protection, securing the lowest 8 KWord (00000H–01FFFH) from accidental erase or program when WP# is grounded. This differs from SST39VF802C, which protects the top 8 KWord (7E000H–7FFFFH). The boot block address is fixed and cannot be reconfigured in SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE.
Does SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE support Erase-Suspend functionality?
Yes, SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE supports Erase-Suspend and Erase-Resume commands (B0H and 30H). This allows the host processor to temporarily halt an ongoing sector or block erase, read data from unprotected regions, or program other sectors - essential for real-time systems requiring concurrent firmware update and operation.
What package type is used in SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE?
SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE uses a 48-ball WFBGA package (4 mm × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch), distinct from the TSOP and TFBGA variants. This ultra-compact package supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained applications such as portable medical devices and small-form-factor telecom modules.
How is write protection implemented in SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE?
SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE provides dual-layer write protection: hardware block protection via the WP# pin (grounding locks the bottom 8 KWord boot block), and software data protection requiring validated three-byte (Word-Program) or six-byte (Erase) command sequences. Both mechanisms must be bypassed to alter protected memory regions.
What status indicators does SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE provide during write operations?
SST39VF801C-70-4I-B3KE provides three concurrent status methods: RY/BY# (open-drain ready/busy pin), DQ7 (Data# Polling), and DQ6 (Toggle Bit). These allow flexible host synchronization - interrupt-driven (RY/BY#), polling (DQ7), or edge-triggered (DQ6 toggling) - without requiring fixed timeout delays.
