Product Description

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C devices are 256K x16 CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash

Plus (MPF+) manufactured with proprietary, high performance CMOS SuperFlash technology. The

split-gate cell design and thick-oxide tunneling injector attain better reliability and manufacturability

compared with alternate approaches. SST39LF401C/402C write (Program or Erase) with a 3.0-3.6V

power supply. SST39VF401C/402C write with a 2.7-3.6V power supply. These devices conform to

JEDEC standard pinouts for x16 memories.

Featuring high performance Word-Program, the SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C

devices provide a typical Word-Program time of 7 µsec. These devices use Toggle Bit, Data# Polling,

or the RY/BY# pin to indicate the completion of Program operation. To protect against inadvertent

write, they have on-chip hardware and Software Data Protection schemes. Designed, manufactured,

and tested for a wide spectrum of applications, these devices are offered with a guaranteed typical

endurance of 100,000 cycles. Data retention is rated at greater than 100 years.

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C devices are suited for applications that require

convenient and economical updating of program, configuration, or data memory. For all system appli-

cations, they significantly improve performance and reliability, while lowering power consumption. They

inherently use less energy during Erase and Program than alternative flash technologies. The total

energy consumed is a function of the applied voltage, current, and time of application. Since for any

given voltage range, the SuperFlash technology uses less current to program and has a shorter erase

time, the total energy consumed during any Erase or Program operation is less than alternative flash

technologies. These devices also improve flexibility while lowering the cost for program, data, and con-

figuration storage applications.

The SuperFlash technology provides fixed Erase and Program times, independent of the number of

Erase/Program cycles that have occurred. Therefore the system software or hardware does not have

to be modified or de-rated as is necessary with alternative flash technologies, whose Erase and Pro-

gram times increase with accumulated Erase/Program cycles.

To meet high density, surface mount requirements, the SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C

are offered in 48-lead TSOP, 48-ball TFBGA, and 48-ball WFBGA packages. See Figures 2, 3, and 4

for pin assignments.

Data Sheet

Device Operation

Commands are used to initiate the memory operation functions of the device. Commands are written

to the device using standard microprocessor write sequences. A command is written by asserting WE#

low while keeping CE# low. The address bus is latched on the falling edge of WE# or CE#, whichever

occurs last. The data bus is latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever occurs first.

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C also have the Auto Low Power mode which puts

the device in a near standby mode after data has been accessed with a valid Read operation. This

reduces the IDD active read current from typically 5 mA to typically 3 µA. The Auto Low Power mode

reduces the typical IDD active read current to the range of 2 mA/MHz of Read cycle time. The device

exits the Auto Low Power mode with any address transition or control signal transition used to initiate

another Read cycle, with no access time penalty. Note that the device does not enter Auto-Low Power

mode after power-up with CE# held steadily low, until the first address transition or CE# is driven high.

Read

The Read operation of the SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C is controlled by CE# and OE#,

both have to be low for the system to obtain data from the outputs. CE# is used for device selection.

When CE# is high, the chip is deselected and only standby power is consumed. OE# is the output con-

trol and is used to gate data from the output pins. The data bus is in high impedance state when either

CE# or OE# is high. Refer to the Read cycle timing diagram for further details (Figure 6).

Word-Program Operation

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C are programmed on a word-by-word basis. Before

programming, the sector where the word exists must be fully erased. The Program operation is accom-

plished in three steps. The first step is the three-byte load sequence for Software Data Protection. The

second step is to load word address and word data. During the Word-Program operation, the

addresses are latched on the falling edge of either CE# or WE#, whichever occurs last. The data is

latched on the rising edge of either CE# or WE#, whichever occurs first. The third step is the internal

Program operation which is initiated after the rising edge of the fourth WE# or CE#, whichever occurs

first. The Program operation, once initiated, will be completed within 10 µs. See Figures 7 and 8 for

WE# and CE# controlled Program operation timing diagrams and Figure 22 for flowcharts. During the

Program operation, the only valid reads are Data# Polling and Toggle Bit. During the internal Program

operation, the host is free to perform additional tasks. Any commands issued during the internal Pro-

gram operation are ignored. During the command sequence, WP# should be statically held high or low.

Sector/Block-Erase Operation

The Sector- (or Block-) Erase operation allows the system to erase the device on a sector-by-sector (or

block-by-block) basis. The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C offer both Sector-Erase and

Block-Erase mode.

The sector architecture is based on a uniform sector size of 2 KWord. The Block-Erase mode is based

on non-uniform block sizes—seven 32 KWord, one 16 KWord, two 4 KWord, and one 8 KWord blocks.

See Figure 2 for top and bottom boot device block addresses. The Sector-Erase operation is initiated

by executing a six-byte command sequence with Sector-Erase command (50H) and sector address

(SA) in the last bus cycle. The Block-Erase operation is initiated by executing a six-byte command

sequence with Block-Erase command (30H) and block address (BA) in the last bus cycle. The sector

or block address is latched on the falling edge of the sixth WE# pulse, while the command (30H or

50H) is latched on the rising edge of the sixth WE# pulse. The internal Erase operation begins after the

4 Mbit (x16) Multi-Purpose Flash Plus

Data Sheet

sixth WE# pulse. The End-of-Erase operation can be determined using either Data# Polling or Toggle

Bit methods. See Figures 12 and 13 for timing waveforms and Figure 26 for the flowchart. Any com-

mands issued during the Sector- or Block-Erase operation are ignored. When WP# is low, any attempt

to Sector- (Block-) Erase the protected block will be ignored. During the command sequence, WP#

should be statically held high or low.

Erase-Suspend/Erase-Resume Commands

The Erase-Suspend operation temporarily suspends a Sector- or Block-Erase operation thus allowing

data to be read from any memory location, or program data into any sector/block that is not suspended

for an Erase operation. The operation is executed by issuing one byte command sequence with Erase-

Suspend command (B0H). The device automatically enters read mode typically within 20 µs after the

Erase-Suspend command had been issued. Valid data can be read from any sector or block that is not

suspended from an Erase operation. Reading at address location within erase-suspended sectors/

blocks will output DQ2toggling and DQ6at ‘1’. While in Erase-Suspend mode, a Word-Program opera-

tion is allowed except for the sector or block selected for Erase-Suspend.

To resume Sector-Erase or Block-Erase operation which has been suspended the system must issue

Erase Resume command. The operation is executed by issuing one byte command sequence with

Erase Resume command (30H) at any address in the last Byte sequence.

Chip-Erase Operation

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C provide a Chip-Erase operation, which allows the

user to erase the entire memory array to the ‘1’ state. This is useful when the entire device must be

quickly erased.

The Chip-Erase operation is initiated by executing a six-byte command sequence with Chip-Erase

command (10H) at address 555H in the last byte sequence. The Erase operation begins with the rising

edge of the sixth WE# or CE#, whichever occurs first. During the Erase operation, the only valid read is

Toggle Bit or Data# Polling. See Table 7 for the command sequence, Figure 11 for timing diagram, and

Figure 26 for the flowchart. Any commands issued during the Chip-Erase operation are ignored. When

WP# is low, any attempt to Chip-Erase will be ignored. During the command sequence, WP# should

be statically held high or low.

Write Operation Status Detection

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C provide two software means to detect the comple-

tion of a Write (Program or Erase) cycle, in order to optimize the system write cycle time. The software

detection includes two status bits: Data# Polling (DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6). The End-of-Write detec-

tion mode is enabled after the rising edge of WE#, which initiates the internal Program or Erase opera-

tion.

The actual completion of the nonvolatile write is asynchronous with the system; therefore, either a

Data# Polling or Toggle Bit read may be simultaneous with the completion of the write cycle. If this

occurs, the system may possibly get an erroneous result, i.e., valid data may appear to conflict with

either DQ7or DQ6. In order to prevent spurious rejection, if an erroneous result occurs, the software

routine should include a loop to read the accessed location an additional two (2) times. If both reads

are valid, then the device has completed the Write cycle, otherwise the rejection is valid.

SST39VF401C / SST39VF402C / SST39LF401C / SST39LF402C

Data Sheet

Ready/Busy# (RY/BY#)

The devices include a Ready/Busy# (RY/BY#) output signal. RY/BY# is an open drain output pin that

indicates whether an Erase or Program operation is in progress. Since RY/BY# is an open drain out-

put, it allows several devices to be tied in parallel to VDD via an external pull-up resistor. After the rising

edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence, the RY/BY# status is valid.

When RY/BY# is actively pulled low, it indicates that an Erase or Program operation is in progress.

When RY/BY# is high (Ready), the devices may be read or left in standby mode.

Data# Polling (DQ7)

When the SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C are in the internal Program operation, any

attempt to read DQ7will produce the complement of the true data. Once the Program operation is

completed, DQ7will produce true data. Note that even though DQ7may have valid data immediately follow-

ing the completion of an internal Write operation, the remaining data outputs may still be invalid: valid data on

the entire data bus will appear in subsequent successive Read cycles after an interval of 1 µs. During internal

Erase operation, any attempt to read DQ7will produce a ‘0’. Once the internal Erase operation is com-

pleted, DQ7will produce a ‘1’. The Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of fourth WE# (or CE#)

pulse for Program operation. For Sector-, Block- or Chip-Erase, the Data# Polling is valid after the ris-

ing edge of sixth WE# (or CE#) pulse. See Figure 9 for Data# Polling timing diagram and Figure 23 for

a flowchart.

Toggle Bits (DQ6 and DQ2)

During the internal Program or Erase operation, any consecutive attempts to read DQ6will produce

alternating ‘1’s and ‘0’s, i.e., toggling between 1 and 0. When the internal Program or Erase operation

is completed, the DQ6bit will stop toggling. The device is then ready for the next operation. For Sector-

, Block-, or Chip-Erase, the toggle bit (DQ6) is valid after the rising edge of sixth WE# (or CE#) pulse.

DQ6will be set to ‘1’ if a Read operation is attempted on an Erase-Suspended Sector/Block. If Pro-

gram operation is initiated in a sector/block not selected in Erase-Suspend mode, DQ6will toggle.

An additional Toggle Bit is available on DQ2, which can be used in conjunction with DQ6to check

whether a particular sector is being actively erased or erase-suspended. Table 3 shows detailed status

bits information. The Toggle Bit (DQ2) is valid after the rising edge of the last WE# (or CE#) pulse of

Write operation. See Figure 10 for Toggle Bit timing diagram and Figure 23 for a flowchart.

Note: DQ7and DQ2require a valid address when reading status information.

Data Sheet

Data Protection

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C provide both hardware and software features to pro-

tect nonvolatile data from inadvertent writes.

Hardware Data Protection

Noise/Glitch Protection: A WE# or CE# pulse of less than 5 ns will not initiate a write cycle.

VDD Power Up/Down Detection: The Write operation is inhibited when VDD is less than 1.5V.

Write Inhibit Mode: Forcing OE# low, CE# high, or WE# high will inhibit the Write operation. This pre-

vents inadvertent writes during power-up or power-down.

Hardware Block Protection

The SST39VF402C/SST39LF402C support top hardware block protection, which protects the top 8

KWord block of the device. The SST39VF401C/SST39LF401C support bottom hardware block protec-

tion, which protects the bottom 8KWord block of the device. The Boot Block address ranges are

described in Table 4. Program and Erase operations are prevented on the 8 KWord when WP# is low.

If WP# is left floating, it is internally held high via a pull-up resistor, and the Boot Block is unprotected,

enabling Program and Erase operations on that block.

Hardware Reset (RST#)

The RST# pin provides a hardware method of resetting the device to read array data. When the RST#

pin is held low for at least TRP, any in-progress operation will terminate and return to Read mode. When

no internal Program/Erase operation is in progress, a minimum period of TRHR is required after RST#

is driven high before a valid Read can take place (see Figure 18).

The Erase or Program operation that has been interrupted needs to be re-initiated after the device

resumes normal operation mode to ensure data integrity.

Software Data Protection (SDP)

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C provide the JEDEC approved Software Data Pro-

tection scheme for all data alteration operations, i.e., Program and Erase. Any Program operation

requires the inclusion of the three-byte sequence. The three-byte load sequence is used to initiate the

Program operation, providing optimal protection from inadvertent Write operations, e.g., during the

system power-up or power-down. Any Erase operation requires the inclusion of six-byte sequence.

These devices are shipped with the Software Data Protection permanently enabled. See Table 7 for

the specific software command codes. During SDP command sequence, invalid commands will abort

the device to read mode within TRC. The contents of DQ15-DQ8can be VIL or VIH, but no other value,

during any SDP command sequence.

Common Flash Memory Interface (CFI)

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C also contain the CFI information to describe the

characteristics of the device. In order to enter the CFI Query mode, the system writes a three-byte

sequence, same as product ID entry command with 98H (CFI Query command) to address 555H in

the last byte sequence. Additionally, the system can use the one-byte sequence with 55H on the

Address and 89H on the Data Bus to enter the CFI Query mode. Once the device enters the CFI

Query mode, the system can read CFI data at the addresses given in Tables 8 through 10. The system

must write the CFI Exit command to return to Read mode from the CFI Query mode.

Product Identification

The Product Identification mode identifies the devices as the SST39VF401C / SST39VF402C /

SST39LF401C / SST39LF402C, and manufacturer as Microchip. This mode may be accessed soft-

ware operations. Users may use the Software Product Identification operation to identify the part (i.e.,

using the device ID) when using multiple manufacturers in the same socket. For details, see Table 7 for

software operation, Figure 14 for the Software ID Entry and Read timing diagram and Figure 24 for the

Software ID Entry command sequence flowchart.

Product Identification Mode Exit/CFI Mode Exit

In order to return to the standard Read mode, the Software Product Identification mode must be exited.

Exit is accomplished by issuing the Software ID Exit command sequence, which returns the device to

the Read mode. This command may also be used to reset the device to the Read mode after any inad-

vertent transient condition that apparently causes the device to behave abnormally, e.g., not read cor-

rectly. Please note that the Software ID Exit/CFI Exit command is ignored during an internal Program

or Erase operation. See Table 7 for software command codes, Figure 16 for timing waveform, and Fig-

ure 25 for flowcharts.

Security ID

The SST39VF401C/402C and SST39LF401C/402C devices offer a 136 Word Security ID space. The

Secure ID space is divided into two segments—one factory programmed segment and one user pro-

grammed segment. The first segment is programmed and locked at the factory with a random 128-bit

number. The user segment, with a 128 word space, is left un-programmed for the customer to program

as desired.

To program the user segment of the Security ID, the user must use the Security ID Word-Program

command. To detect end-of-write for the SEC ID, read the toggle bits. Do not use Data# Polling. Once

this is complete, the Sec ID should be locked using the User Sec ID Program Lock-Out. This disables

any future corruption of this space. Note that regardless of whether or not the Sec ID is locked, neither

Sec ID segment can be erased.

The Secure ID space can be queried by executing a three-byte command sequence with Enter Sec ID

command (88H) at address 555H in the last byte sequence. To exit this mode, the Exit Sec ID com-

mand should be executed. Refer to Table 7 for more details.

Power Up Specifications

All functionalities and DC specifications are specified for a VDD ramp rate of greater than 1V per 100

ms (0V to 3V in less than 300 ms). If the VDD ramp rate is slower than 1V per 100 ms, a hardware

reset is required. The recommended VDD power-up to RESET# high time should be greater than 100

µs to ensure a proper reset.
