Product details
Overview
SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE from Microchip Technology is a 4 Mbit (256K × 16) Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC using SuperFlash technology, operating from 1.65–1.95 V, with 70 ns read access time, 100,000 write/erase cycles endurance, and >100-year data retention. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded controllers requiring low-voltage, sector/block-erasable flash.
For engineers reviewing the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE datasheet, SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE pinout, SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE application, or SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE equivalent, key selection considerations include its x16 asynchronous interface, JEDEC-standard command set, 48-ball WFBGA/XFLGA/TFBGA packaging, and support for Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6) write completion detection.
Technical Context
The SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE implements a split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. It supports three erase granularities: uniform 2 KWord sectors (128 total), 32 KWord blocks (8 total), and full-chip erase - all initiated via JEDEC-compliant six-byte command sequences.
It features CMOS I/O compatibility, hardware noise/glitch protection (<5 ns pulse rejection), VDD power-up/down write inhibition, and dual software data protection (SDP) for Program (3-byte sequence) and Erase (6-byte sequence). The device integrates CFI Query mode (SST and general) and Product ID entry for system identification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 256K × 16 (4 Mbit total); supports x16 parallel data bus interface |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns; enables high-speed instruction fetch or data lookup in real-time systems |
| Supply Voltage | 1.65–1.95 V; compatible with low-power 1.8 V logic domains without level shifting |
| Endurance | 100,000 cycles (typical); sufficient for firmware update logging or configuration storage in industrial controllers |
| Data Retention | >100 years; ensures long-term reliability in unpowered storage applications |

| Standby Current | 5 µA (typical); supports ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable or remote devices |
| Erase/Program Detection | Toggle Bit (DQ6) and Data# Polling (DQ7); eliminates need for external timers or status polling overhead |
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); RoHS compliant. Pinout conforms to JEDEC standard x16 memory assignments.
| 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 Input/Output | 16-bit bidirectional data bus; latched internally during Program; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for Read, Program, or Erase operations; controls standby current entry |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; enables data output during Read; high-Z state prevents bus contention |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for Program/Erase command latching; timing-critical for command sequence execution |
| VDD | Power Supply | 1.65–1.95 V supply; powers core logic and memory array; internal VPP generation eliminates external pump |
| VSS | Ground | Two dedicated ground balls (per package drawings); critical for noise immunity in high-speed read/write |
| NC | No Connection | Unbonded pins (e.g., A11/A12 in some ball maps); must remain floating per JEDEC compliance |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV400CTTI-70G | 4 Mbit x16, 3.0 V operation (2.7–3.6 V), 70 ns access, 100K cycles; lacks SuperFlash fixed-timing guarantee | Requires 3.0 V supply rail; not suitable for 1.8 V-only systems; higher active current (~12 mA) | Select only if legacy 3.0 V infrastructure exists and SuperFlash timing consistency is not required. |
| S29AL004DTFI020 | 4 Mbit x16, 3.0 V (2.7–3.6 V), 70 ns, 100K cycles; supports CFI but no Toggle Bit detection; uses different command set | Command incompatibility requires firmware modification; no DQ6 toggle bit increases software polling overhead | Choose only when migrating from existing Spansion-based designs and full command rework is acceptable. |
Compared with MX29LV400CTTI-70G and S29AL004DTFI020, the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE uniquely delivers 1.8 V operation, fixed SuperFlash timing, and dual-status-bit detection - enabling lower system power, deterministic firmware update latency, and simplified driver development.

FAQ
What voltage range does the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE require for reliable operation?
The SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE operates within a strict 1.65 V to 1.95 V supply range for both read and write functions. Operation outside this window - including during power-up ramp - may cause undefined behavior or failed programming. Its internal VPP generator eliminates need for external high-voltage supplies, making it ideal for single-rail 1.8 V systems. Always verify VDD stability before issuing any command sequence to the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE.
How does the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE detect completion of a Program or Erase operation?
The SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE provides two hardware-supported detection methods: Data# Polling on DQ7 (complement-to-data during operation, true data upon completion) and Toggle Bit on DQ6 (alternating 0/1 until operation ends). Both are valid after the fourth WE#/CE# pulse for Program and sixth pulse for Erase. These eliminate reliance on fixed timeouts and reduce host CPU overhead - a key advantage over legacy flash devices. The SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE guarantees deterministic response timing due to SuperFlash fixed-cycle architecture.
Is the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE pin-compatible with other 48-ball x16 flash memories?
The SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE adheres to JEDEC-standard x16 flash pinouts for all three supported packages (WFBGA, XFLGA, TFBGA), ensuring mechanical and signal-level compatibility with industry-standard footprints. However, command-set differences (e.g., SST-specific SDP sequences) and voltage requirements (1.65–1.95 V vs. 3.0 V) mean electrical and firmware compatibility must be verified per application. No pin-to-pin replacement claim is made for non-SST parts - always validate timing, command flow, and power sequencing for the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE in your design.
What erase granularities does the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE support, and how many sectors/blocks are available?
The SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE supports three erase modes: Sector-Erase (2 KWord per sector, 128 total), Block-Erase (32 KWord per block, 8 total), and Chip-Erase. Sector size is uniform across the array, enabling fine-grained updates; block size allows faster bulk erasure. All modes use JEDEC-compliant six-byte command sequences initiated via A17–A0 address lines. This flexibility lets system firmware optimize update speed versus wear leveling - a capability confirmed in the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE datasheet Table 7 and Section 7.
Does the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE include built-in data protection mechanisms?
Yes, the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE implements layered protection: hardware-level noise/glitch filtering (rejects <5 ns pulses), VDD power-up/down detection (inhibits writes below 1.0 V), and Write Inhibit Mode (via OE#, CE#, or WE# states); plus software-level JEDEC-approved SDP requiring mandatory 3-byte sequences for Program and 6-byte sequences for Erase. These features are factory-enabled and prevent accidental corruption during brown-out, reset, or EMI events - critical for mission-critical storage in the SST39WF400B-70-4I-MAQE.
