Product details
Overview
SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE from Microchip Technology is a 4 Mbit (256K × 16) Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC using SuperFlash technology, designed for embedded program/data storage in low-voltage systems. It operates from 1.65–1.95 V, delivers 70 ns read access time, supports sector/block/whole-chip erase, and features JEDEC-standard x16 asynchronous interface with hardware/software data protection.
For engineers reviewing the SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE datasheet, SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE pinout, SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE application, or SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE equivalent, key selection criteria include single-supply 1.65–1.95 V operation, 100,000-cycle endurance, 100-year data retention, 48-ball WFBGA/XFLGA/TFBGA packaging, and CFI-compliant identification for firmware update and configuration storage in resource-constrained industrial and consumer platforms.
Technical Context
The SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE implements a split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. Its command-set-driven operation uses six-byte sequences for sector/block/chip erase and three-byte sequences for word-program, all compliant with JEDEC standard pinouts and timing.
It integrates dual end-of-write detection via Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6), supports both WE#- and CE#-controlled timing modes, and embeds Common Flash Interface (CFI) tables for automatic device characterization-enabling plug-and-play compatibility with standard flash controllers and boot loaders.

Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball WFBGA (4 mm × 6 mm), RoHS-compliant, suitable for high-density PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | A0–A16 select 256K words; A17 (AMS) used for sector/block address decoding during erase commands |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional bus; tri-stated when CE# or OE# is high; latched internally during write operations |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low device selection; must be low for read/write/erase; controls power state transition to active mode |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF400A-70-4C-EKE | 3.3 V operation (2.7–3.6 V), 70 ns access, same 256K×16 organization but different SuperFlash generation; no CFI support | Requires separate 3.3 V rail; lacks CFI auto-detection-needs custom driver integration | Select only if legacy 3.3 V system compatibility is mandatory and CFI is unused |
| MX29LV400CTTI-70G | 3.3 V supply, 70 ns access, 256K×16, supports CFI but uses older floating-gate technology; 100K cycles, 20-year retention | Higher voltage margin but lower endurance and retention; slower erase due to variable timing | Consider for cost-sensitive designs where 20-year retention suffices and 3.3 V is available |
Compared with SST39VF400A-70-4C-EKE and MX29LV400CTTI-70G, the SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE uniquely combines 1.65–1.95 V operation, CFI compliance, fixed-timing SuperFlash, and 100-year retention-making it optimal for next-generation ultra-low-power, long-lifecycle embedded systems where voltage scaling and firmware agility are critical.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE?
The SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE operates from 1.65 V to 1.95 V for both read and write functions. This single-supply range eliminates the need for external voltage translators or charge pumps. The device incorporates internal VPP generation, so no auxiliary high-voltage supply is required for programming or erasing. Operation outside this range may cause functional failure or reduced reliability.
Does the SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE support JEDEC-standard command sets?
Yes, the SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE fully conforms to JEDEC standard pinouts and command sets for x16 flash memories. It supports industry-standard software data protection sequences-including three-byte word-program and six-byte sector/block/chip-erase commands-as well as Product ID and CFI Query modes. This ensures interoperability with generic flash drivers and boot ROMs without vendor-specific firmware modifications.
How does the SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE detect completion of a program or erase operation?
The SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE provides two hardware-supported status detection methods: Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6). After initiating a write operation, DQ7 returns complemented data until completion, then true data; DQ6 toggles between 0 and 1 during the operation and stabilizes upon finish. Both methods are valid after the fourth (program) or sixth (erase) WE#/CE# pulse, enabling efficient polling without timer dependencies.
What package types are offered for the SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE?
The SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE is available in three 48-ball BGA variants: TFBGA (6 mm × 8 mm), WFBGA (4 mm × 6 mm), and XFLGA (4 mm × 6 mm). All packages are RoHS-compliant and optimized for surface-mount assembly. The WFBGA and XFLGA share identical pinouts and footprint, while the TFBGA uses a different ball map-designers must verify layout compatibility using Figures 2 and 3 from DS25034A.
What is the endurance and data retention specification of the SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE?
The SST39WF400B-70-4C-MAQE guarantees a minimum endurance of 10,000 cycles per JEDEC A117, with typical performance rated at 100,000 cycles. Data retention is specified at greater than 100 years under normal operating conditions (25°C, VDD = 1.8 V). These values are achieved through SuperFlash's split-gate cell architecture and are validated across commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (−40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges.
