Product details
Overview
SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE from Microchip Technology is a 4 Mbit (256K × 16) Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC with JEDEC-standard x16 asynchronous interface, 70 ns read access time, 1.65–1.95 V single-supply operation, and SuperFlash® technology enabling 100,000 program/erase cycles and >100 years data retention. It serves as nonvolatile code/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring low-voltage, high-reliability firmware updates.
For engineers reviewing the SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE datasheet, SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE pinout, SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE application, or SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-ball WFBGA/XFLGA/TFBGA packaging, sector/block/chip-erase flexibility, Toggle Bit/Data# Polling status detection, and hardware/software data protection compliant with JEDEC pinouts and command sets.
Technical Context
The SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE implements a split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, delivering fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count-unlike conventional flash technologies where timing degrades over endurance life. Its control logic supports standard microprocessor write sequences for command latching via CE# and WE# falling/rising edges.
It features dual software status detection (DQ6 Toggle Bit and DQ7 Data# Polling), JEDEC-compliant CFI Query mode (SST and general), and three-layer data protection: noise/glitch immunity (<5 ns pulse rejection), VDD power-up/down detection (<1.0 V inhibit), and mandatory JEDEC-approved Software Data Protection (SDP) for all program/erase operations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 256K × 16 (4 Mbit total); enables 16-bit parallel data bus interfacing with MCUs/FPGAs without external data-width conversion. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns; guarantees deterministic timing for real-time boot code fetch and configuration reads at system clock frequencies up to ~14 MHz. |
| Supply Voltage | 1.65–1.95 V; compatible with modern low-power SoCs and battery-backed systems, eliminating need for level shifters or auxiliary voltage rails. |
| Endurance | 100,000 cycles (typical); supports frequent field firmware updates or dynamic parameter logging in industrial controllers and IoT edge nodes. |
| Data Retention | >100 years; ensures long-term reliability for sealed or maintenance-free deployments including medical devices and infrastructure monitoring. |
| Erase Granularity | Sector (2 KWord), Block (32 KWord), Chip; allows selective firmware patching, secure key wiping, or full reprogramming without erasing entire memory space. |
| Write Detection | Toggle Bit (DQ6) and Data# Polling (DQ7); provides host-agnostic, polling-based completion signaling without requiring dedicated interrupt lines or timer-based timeouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball WFBGA (4 mm × 6 mm), 48-ball XFLGA (4 mm × 6 mm), or 48-ball TFBGA (6 mm × 8 mm). All variants share identical pinout per JEDEC x16 flash standard.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | A0–A16 select word address; A17 (AMS) used for sector/block address decoding during erase commands per JEDEC specification. |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional bus; outputs valid data during read (CE#/OE# low), accepts program data during write; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high. |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low device select; must be low to enable internal logic and respond to commands; high state forces standby current (≤40 µA). |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; high or floating disables output drivers, enabling bus sharing with other peripherals. |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for program/erase command latching; rising edge initiates internal operation; timing-critical for SDP sequence execution. |
| VDD | Power Supply | Single 1.65–1.95 V supply; powers core logic and memory array; internal charge pump generates required programming voltage (no external VPP needed). |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; two dedicated VSS balls ensure low-impedance return path for switching currents. |
| NC | No Connection | Unbonded pins (e.g., A11/A12 on WFBGA/XFLGA); must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid signal integrity or ESD risks. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SuperFlash® Technology | Split-gate cell with thick-oxide tunneling injector enables fixed 36 ms block/sector erase and 28 µs word-program times across full endurance life-no software derating required. |
| JEDEC Standard Compliance | Fully conforms to JEDEC pinouts, command sets, and CFI Query structure (SST and general modes), ensuring drop-in compatibility with existing x16 flash firmware stacks. |
| Hardware + Software Protection | Combines noise immunity (<5 ns pulse rejection), VDD monitoring (<1.0 V inhibit), and mandatory 3-byte (program) / 6-byte (erase) SDP sequences to prevent accidental writes during power transitions. |
| Latched Address/Data | Internal latches capture address on falling edge of CE# or WE# (whichever occurs last), and data on rising edge (whichever occurs first)-simplifies timing margining for FPGA/CPLD interfaces. |
| Low-Power Operation | 5 mA active current (5 MHz read) and 5 µA typical standby current reduce thermal load and extend battery life in portable and energy-constrained applications. |

The SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE operates from 1.65 V to 1.95 V, making it compatible with modern 1.8 V systems. This single-supply range eliminates the need for external voltage translation or auxiliary regulators. The device uses internal charge pumping to generate required programming voltages, and all DC specifications-including active current (15 mA max) and standby current (40 µA max)-are guaranteed across this range per Table 11 of the DS25034A datasheet.
Does the SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE support JEDEC-standard command sets and pinouts?
Yes, the SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE fully conforms to JEDEC standard pin assignments and command sets for x16 flash memories. It supports both SST-specific and general Common Flash Interface (CFI) Query modes, enabling automatic device identification and driver compatibility across multiple vendors. The datasheet explicitly states compliance on page 2 and details CFI entry sequences and response structures in Tables 5–7.
How does the SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE detect completion of Program or Erase operations?
The SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE provides two software-based detection methods: Toggle Bit (DQ6) and Data# Polling (DQ7). During internal operations, DQ6 toggles between 0 and 1; cessation indicates completion. DQ7 returns complemented data until complete, then true data. Both are valid after the fourth (Program) or sixth (Erase) WE# pulse, per Figures 8–9 and Section 8 of DS25034A.
What package options are available for the SST39WF400B-70-4C-B3KE?
