Product details
Overview
SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA from Microchip Technology is a 4 Mbit (256K × 16) Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC using SuperFlash technology, operating at 1.65–1.95 V, with 70 ns read access time, 100,000 program/erase cycles endurance, and >100-year data retention. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded controllers and firmware update modules.
For engineers reviewing the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA datasheet, SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA pinout, SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA application, or SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, JEDEC-compliant x16 interface timing, sector/block-erase command sequences, and package-specific pin validation for 48-ball WFBGA/XFLGA/TFBGA footprints.
Technical Context
The SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA implements an asynchronous x16 parallel interface with CE#, OE#, and WE# control lines, supporting Word-Program, Sector-Erase (2 KWord), Block-Erase (32 KWord), and Chip-Erase operations via JEDEC-standard six-byte command sequences. Its split-gate SuperFlash cell enables fixed 28 µs word-program and 36 ms sector/block-erase times independent of cycle count.
It integrates hardware protections including noise/glitch immunity (<5 ns pulse rejection), VDD power-up/down detection (<1.0 V inhibit), and write-inhibit mode (OE# low, CE# high, or WE# high). Software Data Protection (SDP) is permanently enabled, requiring three-byte unlock sequences for programming and six-byte sequences for erasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 256K × 16 (4 Mbit total); supports byte-wide addressing via A0–A17 with AMS = A17 |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns; meets fast boot and real-time firmware fetch requirements in microcontroller systems |
| Supply Voltage | 1.65–1.95 V; compatible with low-voltage SoC I/O domains and eliminates need for level shifters |
| Endurance | 100,000 cycles (typical); sufficient for field firmware updates and configuration logging |
| Data Retention | >100 years at 85°C; validated per JEDEC A103 for long-life industrial deployments |
| Erase Granularity | Sector (2 KWord), Block (32 KWord), Chip; enables selective firmware patching without full reflash |
| Write Detection | Toggle Bit (DQ6) and Data# Polling (DQ7); allows host CPU to poll status without dedicated interrupt |
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, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | A0–A16 select word address; A17 = AMS (most significant address) used for sector/block selection during erase |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O | 16-bit bidirectional bus; latched internally during Program; tri-stated when CE# or OE# high |
| CE# | Chip Enable | Active-low device select; must be low for Read, Program, Erase; high = standby (5 µA) |
| OE# | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls DQ bus drive; high = high-impedance output |
| WE# | Write Enable | Active-low control for Program/Erase initiation; falling edge latches address, rising edge latches data/command |
| VDD | Power Supply | 1.65–1.95 V core supply; internal VPP generation eliminates external high-voltage pump |
| VSS | Ground | Two dedicated ground balls (pins E1, L6 in WFBGA/XFLGA) reduce noise coupling during erase pulses |
| NC | No Connection | Unbonded pads (e.g., pins C1, D1, E2 in WFBGA); must be left floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel NOR flash applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Winbond W29N04GVSIAA | 4 Gbit NAND flash with internal ECC and serial interface (SPI); lacks x16 parallel bus and CFI support | Requires controller-side wear leveling and bad-block management; unsuitable for XIP or legacy NOR-based bootloaders | Select only if migrating to NAND architecture with dedicated flash controller and software stack changes |
| Macronix MX29LV400CTTI-70G | 4 Mbit x16 parallel NOR flash, 70 ns access, but requires 3.0 V supply and lacks SuperFlash low-voltage programming | Not compatible with 1.8 V I/O domains; higher energy per erase/program cycle increases thermal load in dense layouts | Use only in legacy 3.3 V systems where voltage translation is acceptable and power efficiency is secondary |
Compared with Winbond W29N04GVSIAA and Macronix MX29LV400CTTI-70G, the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA uniquely combines 1.65–1.95 V operation, fixed-timing SuperFlash, and JEDEC x16 compatibility-enabling drop-in upgrades in space-constrained, low-power embedded designs without firmware or PCB changes.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed minimum endurance rating for the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA?
The SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA is qualified to a minimum of 10,000 program/erase cycles per JEDEC Standard A117, with typical performance rated at 100,000 cycles. This endurance applies uniformly across all sectors and blocks, and is validated under industrial temperature conditions (-40°C to +85°C).
Does the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA support execute-in-place (XIP) operation?
Yes, the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA supports XIP due to its fast 70 ns read access time and asynchronous x16 interface. When mapped into a microcontroller's external memory space, instructions can be fetched directly from the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA without copying to RAM, reducing boot time and SRAM usage.
How is software data protection implemented on the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA?
Software Data Protection (SDP) is permanently enabled on the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA. Programming requires a three-byte unlock sequence (5555H/AAH, 2AAAH/55H, 5555H/A0H), and erasing requires a six-byte sequence. Invalid commands abort the device back to Read mode within TRC (read cycle time), preventing accidental writes during power transitions.
Which packages are supported by the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA?
The SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA is offered in three RoHS-compliant packages: 48-ball WFBGA (4 mm × 6 mm), 48-ball XFLGA (4 mm × 6 mm), and 48-ball TFBGA (6 mm × 8 mm). All share identical pinouts per JEDEC standard, enabling footprint interchangeability with appropriate pad layout adjustments.
Can the SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA operate with a 1.8 V supply only, or does it require additional voltages?
The SST39WF400B-70-4I-VA operates exclusively from a single 1.65–1.95 V supply (VDD). It integrates internal VPP generation for programming and erasing, eliminating the need for external high-voltage sources or charge pumps-simplifying power design and reducing bill-of-materials cost.
