PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST27SF256/512/010/020 are a 32K x8 / 64K x8 /
128K x8 / 256K x8 CMOS, Many-Time Programmable
(MTP) lo w cost flash, manuf actured with SST’s proprietary,
high performance SuperFlash technology. The split-gate
cell design and thick oxide tunneling injector attain better
reliability and manufacturability compared with alternate
approaches. These MTP devices can be electrically erased
and programmed at least 1000 times using an e xternal pro-
grammer with a 12 volt power supply. They have to be
erased prior to programming. These devices conform to
JEDE C standa rd pino uts f or b yte -wide memories .
Featuring high performance Byte-Program, the
SST27SF256/512/010/020 provide a Byte-Progr am time of
20 µs. Designed, manufactured, and tested for a wide
spectrum of applications, these devices are offered with an
endurance of at least 1000 cycl es . Data retention is rated at
gr eat er t han 10 0 y e ar s.
The SS T27SF256 /512/010/020 are sui ted for appl ications
that require infrequent writes and low power nonvolatile
storage. These devices will improve flexibility, efficiency,
and perf ormance while matching the low cost in nonv olatile
applications that currently use UV-EPROMs, OTPs, and
mask ROMs.
To meet surface mount and conventional through hole
requirements, the SST27SF256/512 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 SST27SF256/512/010/020 are a low cost flash
solution that can be used to replace existing UV-
EPROM, OTP, and mask ROM sockets. These devices
are functionally (read and program) and pin compatible
with industry sta ndard EPROM products. In addition to
EPROM functionality, these devices also support elec-
trical Er as e op er a ti on vi a an external pro g r am me r. T h e y
do not require a UV source to erase, and th erefore the
packages do not have a window.
Read
The Read operation of the SST27SF256/512/010/020 is
controlled by CE# and OE#. Both CE# and OE# hav e to be
low for the system to obtain data from the outputs. Once
the addr ess is stable, the addres s acces s time i s equal t o
the delay from CE# to output (TCE). Data is available at the
output 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 f or at least TCE-TOE. When t he CE # pi n 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.
