Product details
Overview
SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T from Microchip Technology is a 8 Mbit (512K × 16) Multi-Purpose Flash Plus memory IC with SuperFlash® technology, designed for embedded program/data storage in microcontroller-based systems. It operates from 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 top-boot block (7E000H–7FFFFH).
For engineers reviewing the SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T datasheet, SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T pinout, SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T application, or SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, JEDEC-compliant x16 interface details, boot-block protection mapping, SuperFlash endurance/reliability metrics, and real-world use cases in industrial firmware storage and legacy system upgrades.
Technical Context
This device implements a CMOS SuperFlash® architecture with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count-unlike conventional flash. It conforms to JEDEC-standard x16 pinouts and command sets, supporting standard microprocessor bus interfacing without protocol translation.
It integrates three status detection methods-Data# Polling (DQ7), Toggle Bits (DQ6/DQ2), and open-drain RY/BY#-for precise end-of-write monitoring. Hardware block protection targets the top 8 KWord (7E000H–7FFFFH), while software data protection requires validated six-byte command sequences for erase and three-byte sequences for program operations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 8 Mbit (512K × 16 organization), directly maps to 16-bit data bus with no address multiplexing required. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns maximum - enables direct connection to 14 MHz microcontrollers without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic systems and tolerant of brown-out conditions down to 2.7 V. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles (typical) - supports field firmware updates over full product lifecycle. |
| Data Retention | Greater than 100 years - ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications. |
| Erase Architecture | Uniform 2 KWord sectors + flexible blocks (1×8K, 2×4K, 1×16K, 15×32K) - enables granular firmware partitioning. |
| Write Protection | Hardware top-boot block protection (7E000H–7FFFFH) activated when WP# = low - prevents accidental bootloader corruption. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball WFBGA (4 mm × 6 mm, MAQE suffix), RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with fine-pitch ball layout optimized for high-density PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus (A0–A18); AMS = A18 selects most significant address for sector/block erase targeting. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; outputs latched during read, inputs latched during write; tri-state when CE# or OE# high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device enters standby (3 µA) when high; required low for all write/erase operations. |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; must be low with CE# low to enable read data output. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for write cycles; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per JEDEC timing; initiates internal program/erase. |
| WP# | Write Protect | Active-low hardware lock for top 8 KWord boot block; grounded to prevent inadvertent erase/program of bootloader region. |
| RST# | Reset | Active-low hardware reset; forces return to read mode and aborts in-progress operations; requires TRP pulse width ≥ 100 ns. |
| RY/BY# | Ready/Busy# | Open-drain status indicator; pulled low during erase/program; requires external 10–100 kΩ pull-up to VDD. |
| VDD | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and SuperFlash array; noise filtering recommended per datasheet. |
| VSS | Ground | Digital ground reference; two dedicated VSS pins ensure stable return path for I/O and core currents. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Split-gate cell with thick-oxide injector enables fixed 18 ms sector/block erase and 7 µs word-program - no performance degradation over lifetime. |
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows temporary halt of erase to read/program non-suspended sectors - critical for real-time firmware update without full interruption. |
| Security ID Space | Factory-programmed 128-bit ID + 128-word user-programmable space - supports secure device authentication and traceability. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 5 mA to 3 µA after valid access - cuts dynamic power by >99% during idle polling intervals. |
| Common Flash Interface (CFI) | JEDEC CFI Query mode (entry via 98H at 555H) provides standardized parameter tables - simplifies driver development across flash vendors. |
Applications
| Industrial Control Firmware Storage | Legacy System BIOS/UEFI Module Replacement |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF801C-70-4I-MAQE-T | Bottom-boot architecture (00000H–01FFFH protected); otherwise identical voltage, timing, and package. | Used where bootloader resides in lowest memory region instead of top; incompatible for top-boot designs without address remapping. | Select only if system firmware expects bottom-boot protection; not interchangeable without hardware or software adaptation. |
| MX29LV800CTTI-70G | 70 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V operation, 48-pin TSOP (not WFBGA); lacks Auto Low Power mode and Erase-Suspend. | Requires PCB footprint change; suitable for cost-sensitive industrial boards where WFBGA is unnecessary. | Choose for TSOP-based legacy designs; avoid if board uses WFBGA or requires low-power polling or suspend/resume capability. |
Compared with SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T, the SST39VF801C variant shifts hardware protection to the bottom block-requiring firmware alignment changes-while the MX29LV800CTTI offers TSOP compatibility but sacrifices SuperFlash advantages like fixed timing and energy efficiency.

FAQ
What is the boot block configuration of SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T?
The SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T implements top-boot block protection, covering the highest 8 KWord address range (7E000H–7FFFFH). This region is hardware-protected when the WP# pin is driven low, making it ideal for safeguarding bootloader code. The SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T differs from the SST39VF801C variant, which protects the bottom 8 KWord (00000H–01FFFH).
Does SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T require an external VPP voltage for programming?
No, the SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T does not require an external VPP voltage. It generates internal high-voltage programming pulses using its on-chip charge pump, operating solely from the 2.7–3.6 V VDD supply. This eliminates the need for auxiliary power rails and simplifies system design compared to older flash technologies.
How is write completion detected on SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T?
The SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T supports three concurrent write completion detection methods: Data# Polling (DQ7 toggles until complete), Toggle Bits (DQ6 toggles during operation), and Ready/Busy# (RY/BY# open-drain pin pulled low during erase/program). All are valid after defined WE# edge counts per operation type, enabling flexible host-side timing control.
Is SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T pin-compatible with SST39VF801C-70-4I-MAQE-T?
Yes, the SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T is pin-compatible with the SST39VF801C-70-4I-MAQE-T in the same WFBGA package (MAQE), sharing identical pin assignments, voltage ranges, and timing. However, their boot block locations differ (top vs. bottom), so firmware and hardware WP# routing must align with the selected variant's protection scheme.
What package type does SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T use?
The SST39VF802C-70-4I-MAQE-T uses a 48-ball WFBGA (Wafer-Level Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array) package measuring 4 mm × 6 mm, designated by the "MAQE" suffix. This ultra-compact, RoHS-compliant package supports high-density PCB layouts and is distinct from the TSOP and TFBGA variants offered in the same product family.
