PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST27SF512/010/020 are a 64K x8 / 128K x8 / 256K
x8 CMOS, Many-Time Programmable (MTP) low cost
flash, manufactured with SST’s proprietary, high perfor-
mance SuperFlash technology. The split-gate cell design
and thic k oxide tunneling injector attain better reliability and
manufacturability compared with alternate approaches.
These MTP devices can be electrically erased and pro-
grammed at least 1000 times using an external program-
mer with a 12V power supply. The y hav e to be erased prior
to programming. These devices conform to JEDEC stan-
dard pinouts for b yte- wide memories.
Featuring high performance Byte-Program, the
SST27 SF512/010/0 20 provide a Byte -Program time of 2 0
µs. Designed, manufactured, and tested for a wide spec-
trum of applications, these devices are offered with an
endurance of at least 1000 cycles. Data retention is rated at
gr eat er t han 10 0 y e ar s.
The SST27SF512/010/020 are suited for applications that
require infrequent writes and low power nonvolatile stor-
age. These devices will improve flexibility, efficiency, and
performance while matching the low cost in nonvolatile
applications that currently use UV-EPROMs, OTPs, and
mask ROMs.
To meet surface mount and conventional through hole
requirements, the SST27SF512 are offered in 32-lead
PLCC, 32-lead TSOP, and 28-pin PDIP packages. The
SST27SF010/020 are offered in 32-pin PDIP, 32-lead
PLCC, and 32-lead TSOP packages. See Figures 1, 2, and
3 for pin assignments.
Device Operation
The SST27SF512/010/020 are a low cost flash solution
that can be used to replace existing UV-EPROM, OTP,
and mask ROM sockets. These devices ar e functionally
(read and program) and pin compatible with industry
standard EPROM products. In addition to EPROM func-
tionality, these devices also support electrical Erase
operation via an external programmer. They do not
require a UV source to erase, and therefore the pack-
ages do not hav e a window.
Read
The Read operation of the SST27SF512/010/020 is con-
trolled by CE# and OE#. Both CE# and OE# have to be low
for the system to obtain data from the outputs. Once the
addres s is st able, the add ress ac cess time is e qual to the
del ay fr om CE# to out put (TCE). Data is av ailable at the out-
put after a delay of TOE from the falling edge of OE#,
assuming that CE# pin has been low and the addresses
hav e been stable for at least TCE-TOE. When the CE# pin is
high, the chip is deselected and a typical standby current of
10 µA is c on s ume d. O E# is th e o utp ut co ntr o l a nd is us e d
to gate data from the output pins. The data bus is in high
impedance state when either CE# or OE# is high.
