Product details
Overview
SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Silicon Storage Technology) is a 16 Mbit (1M × 16) Multi-Purpose Flash Plus (MPF+) memory IC designed for embedded program and configuration storage in low-voltage systems. It operates from 1.65–1.95 V, delivers 70 ns read access time, supports hardware top-block protection (32 KWord), and features sector/block/chip erase with erase-suspend/resume capability.
For engineers reviewing the SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T datasheet, SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T pinout, SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T application, or SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T equivalent, key selection considerations include its 1.65–1.95 V single-supply operation, JEDEC-compliant x16 interface, SuperFlash reliability (100,000 write/erase cycles, >100-year data retention), and 48-ball TFBGA (6 mm × 8 mm) packaging.
Technical Context
The SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T implements SuperFlash technology with split-gate cells and thick-oxide tunneling injectors, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. Its command set conforms to JEDEC standard pin assignments and includes software data protection (SDP) with three-byte (program) and six-byte (erase) sequences.
It integrates hardware block protection via WP# for the top 32 KWord boot block (0F8000H–0FFFFFH), a dedicated RST# pin for hardware reset, and dual status detection (DQ7 Data# Polling and DQ6/DQ2 Toggle Bits) for asynchronous write completion monitoring. The device supports CFI Query mode for system-level identification and compatibility.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 1M × 16 (16 Mbit total capacity); enables byte-aligned firmware storage without external data-width conversion. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns; ensures deterministic timing for high-speed microcontroller instruction fetch or configuration read operations. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.65–1.95 V; compatible with modern ultra-low-power SoCs and battery-backed systems without level-shifting. |
| Endurance | 100,000 program/erase cycles (typical); supports field firmware updates over product lifetime in industrial controllers. |
| Data Retention | >100 years; guarantees nonvolatile storage integrity across extended shelf life and deployment periods. |
| Erase Times | Sector/Block: 36 ms (typ), Chip: 140 ms (typ); enables rapid reconfiguration without system downtime. |
| Power Consumption | Active: 5 mA (5 MHz), Standby/Auto-Low-Power: 5 µA; reduces quiescent current in always-on edge devices. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball TFBGA (6 mm × 8 mm, ball pitch 0.8 mm), RoHS-compliant, AEC-Q100 qualified option available.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 100% addressable space (1M words); A19–A16 used for block selection during Block-Erase, A11–A0 for Sector-Erase. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional bus; latched internally during writes; tri-stated when CE# or OE# is high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low to enable read/write; controls device power state (standby when high). |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; allows data read without deselecting chip; enables interleaved access in multi-device systems. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for write cycles; timing-critical for command sequence latching (falling/rising edge synchronization). |
| WP# | Write Protect | Hardware top-block lock (0F8000H–0FFFFFH); grounded to prevent accidental erase/program of boot code region. |
| RST# | Reset | Hardware abort of in-progress erase/program; forces return to Read mode within TRP (min 100 ns pulse width required). |
| VDD | Power Supply | Single 1.65–1.95 V supply; internal charge pump generates VPP for programming-no external high-voltage source needed. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all I/O and core logic; two dedicated VSS balls ensure stable return path for low-noise operation. |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded balls (A13, A18, A19, NC positions); must remain unconnected per design-no pull-up/down or routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase-Suspend/Resume | Allows real-time read access or programming in non-suspended sectors during active erase-critical for fail-safe firmware updates. |
| Security ID | 256-bit factory + user-programmable ID space (128 + 128 bits); enables secure device authentication and anti-cloning in certified systems. |
| Auto Low Power Mode | Reduces active read current from 9 mA to 5 µA after valid access-eliminates need for external power gating in battery-powered nodes. |
| JEDEC CFI Support | Full Common Flash Interface compliance (SST and general modes); enables plug-and-play driver integration and cross-vendor firmware tools. |
| Hardware Block Protection | Top 32 KWord (256 KB) boot block protected by WP# pin-prevents corruption of bootloader or safety-critical startup code. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T | 3.0 V operation (2.7–3.6 V), slower 70 ns access, identical 1M×16 organization and command set. | Requires higher VDD; unsuitable for 1.8 V systems but offers better noise immunity in electrically noisy industrial environments. | Select only if system rail is ≥2.7 V and legacy 3 V design reuse is prioritized over power efficiency. |
| MX29LV160ETTI-70G | 3.0 V operation, 70 ns access, same JEDEC x16 interface, but lacks erase-suspend and Security ID features. | No hardware suspend capability limits safe firmware update scenarios; no factory/user ID space for security binding. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, non-safety-critical applications where full feature parity is not required. |
Compared with SST39VF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T and MX29LV160ETTI-70G, the SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T uniquely delivers 1.65–1.95 V operation with erase-suspend and 256-bit Security ID-making it the only choice for next-gen ultra-low-power, secure, and fail-safe embedded firmware storage.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization and density of the SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T?
The SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T is organized as 1M × 16, delivering 16 Mbit (2 MByte) of nonvolatile storage. This configuration provides full 16-bit data bus alignment, eliminating the need for external data multiplexing in microcontroller-based designs. Each word is individually addressable, and the device supports uniform 2 KWord sectors and 32 KWord blocks for granular erase control.
Does the SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T support hardware write protection, and how is it configured?
Yes, the SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T implements hardware top-block protection via the WP# pin. When WP# is driven low, the top 32 KWord (256 KB) boot block (address range 0F8000H–0FFFFFH) is locked against program and erase operations. If WP# is left floating, an internal pull-up holds it high, disabling protection. This mechanism safeguards critical bootloader code without software overhead.
How does the SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T indicate completion of a program or erase operation?
The SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T provides two hardware-supported status detection methods: Data# Polling on DQ7 and Toggle Bit on DQ6 (and DQ2 for erase-suspend context). During internal operations, DQ7 toggles between complement and true data, while DQ6 alternates 0/1 until completion. These signals allow host processors to poll asynchronously-without timers-ensuring deterministic, low-overhead write cycle management.
Is the SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T compatible with standard JEDEC flash command sets and interfaces?
Yes, the SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T fully complies with JEDEC standard pin assignments and command definitions for x16 asynchronous flash memories. It supports both SST-specific and general Common Flash Interface (CFI) Query modes, enabling seamless integration with industry-standard flash drivers, programming tools, and BIOS/firmware update utilities without custom adaptation.
What package type and footprint does the SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T use, and are there alternatives?
The SST39WF1602-70-4C-B3KE-T uses a 48-ball TFBGA package measuring 6 mm × 8 mm with 0.8 mm ball pitch. This compact, surface-mount footprint supports high-density PCB layouts. An alternative 48-ball WFBGA (4 mm × 6 mm) variant exists-but the B3KE-T suffix explicitly denotes the TFBGA version. Both packages share identical pinouts and electrical behavior.
