Product details
Overview
SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE from Silicon Storage Technology is an 8 Mbit (512K × 16) single-supply Multi-Purpose Flash memory IC with SuperFlash technology, operating at 1.65–1.95 V, featuring 90 ns read access time, 100,000-cycle endurance, and >100-year data retention. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded controllers requiring low-voltage, sector/block-erasable flash with JEDEC-compliant x16 interface.
For engineers reviewing the SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE datasheet, SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE pinout, SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE application, or SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, JEDEC-standard pin mapping, real-world use cases in industrial firmware storage, and two validated alternative flash parts with documented functional and timing differences.
Technical Context
The SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE implements a split-gate SuperFlash cell architecture with thick-oxide tunneling injector, enabling fixed erase/program times independent of cycle count. It supports three software-controlled operations: Word-Program (28 µs typical), Sector-Erase (36 ms typical, uniform 2 KWord sectors), and Block-Erase (36 ms typical, uniform 32 KWord blocks).
Operation relies on standard microprocessor write sequences with latched address/data on CE# or WE# edges, and uses Toggle Bit (DQ6) or Data# Polling (DQ7) for end-of-write detection. Hardware protection includes noise/glitch immunity (<5 ns pulse rejection), VDD power-up/down detection (<1.0 V inhibit), and write-inhibit via OE#/CE#/WE# logic states.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MX29LV800CTTI-90G | 3.0 V supply (2.7–3.6 V), 90 ns access, 100K endurance, same 48-ball TSOP package but incompatible voltage domain | Requires external level-shifting in 1.8 V systems; unsuitable for direct drop-in replacement | Select only if legacy 3.3 V design exists and board-level voltage translation is feasible |
| S29GL064N90TFI010 | 3.0 V supply, 90 ns access, 100K endurance, 48-ball TSOP, supports CFI but lacks Toggle Bit detection (relies on Ready/Busy pin) | Needs PCB redesign for RY/BY# signal routing; no DQ6/DQ7 software polling fallback | Prefer when hardware-ready signaling is already implemented and voltage compatibility is confirmed |
Compared with MX29LV800CTTI-90G and S29GL064N90TFI010, the SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE uniquely delivers 1.8 V native operation, fixed-timing SuperFlash erase/program, and dual software-based status detection - eliminating need for external level shifters or dedicated ready/busy pins in space-constrained embedded designs.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE?
The SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE operates exclusively within a 1.65 V to 1.95 V supply range, optimized for 1.8 V systems. It does not support 3.3 V or 5 V operation. This narrow voltage window enables direct integration into modern low-power SoC platforms without level-shifting circuitry, and is strictly enforced by on-chip VDD monitoring that inhibits writes below 1.0 V.
Does the SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE support both sector and block erase modes?
Yes, the SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE supports both sector-erase (uniform 2 KWord sectors, 256 total) and block-erase (uniform 32 KWord blocks, 16 total) via JEDEC-standard six-byte command sequences. Sector-erase targets fine-grained updates (e.g., configuration parameters), while block-erase accelerates larger firmware image replacements - both complete in 36 ms typical time, with end-of-erase signaled via DQ6 Toggle Bit or DQ7 Data# Polling.
How is write completion detected on the SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE?
The SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE provides two software-detectable status mechanisms: DQ6 Toggle Bit (alternating 0/1 during operation, stops toggling upon completion) and DQ7 Data# Polling (complement of target data during programming, true data after completion). Both are valid after the fourth (program) or sixth (erase) WE#/CE# pulse edge, enabling deterministic polling without hardware interrupts or dedicated pins.
What package type is used for the SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE?
The SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE uses a 48-ball WFBGA (5 mm × 6 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) package, as confirmed in the official datasheet Figure 2 and Table 2. This micro-package features two VSS balls for low-impedance grounding and multiple NC (no-connect) balls (e.g., A1, C1, D1) that must remain unconnected on the PCB layout to ensure signal integrity and thermal performance.
Is the SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE compatible with JEDEC-standard flash command sets?
Yes, the SST39WF800A-90-4I-B3KE fully complies with JEDEC Standard JESD21-C for x16 flash pinouts and command definitions. It supports Software Data Protection (3-byte/6-byte sequences), Common Flash Interface (CFI) Query mode (via 0x5555/0x2AAA/0x98), and Product Identification (0x5555/0x2AAA/0x90), enabling interoperability with standard flash programmers and BIOS/UEFI firmware stacks without vendor-specific drivers.
