Data Sheet
Product Description
The SST39VF168x devices are 2M x8 CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash Plus (MPF+) manufactured with SST’s
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. The
SST39VF168x write (Program or Erase) with a 2.7-3.6V power supply. These devices conform to JEDEC
standard pinouts for x8 memories.
Featuring high performance Byte-Program, the SST39VF168x devices provide a typical Byte-Program
time of 7 µsec. These devices use Toggle Bit or Data# Polling to indicate the completion of Program
operation. To protect against inadvertent write, they have on-chip hardware and Software Data Protec-
tion 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 SST39VF168x devices are suited for applications that require convenient and economical updat-
ing of program, configuration, or data memory. For all system applications, 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 dur-
ing any Erase or Program operation is less than alternative flash technologies. These devices also
improve flexibility while lowering the cost for program, data, and configuration 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 SST39VF168x are offered in both 48-ball TFBGA
and 48-lead TSOP packages. See Figures 2 and 3 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 SST39VF168x 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 I
DD
active read cur-
rent from typically 9 mA to typically 3 µA. The Auto Low Power mode reduces the typical I
DD
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 SST39VF168x 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 control 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 tim-
ing diagram for further details (Figure 4).
Byte-Program Operation
The SST39VF168x are programmed on a byte-by-byte basis. Before programming, the sector where
the byte exists must be fully erased. The Program operation is accomplished in three steps. The first
step is the three-byte load sequence for Software Data Protection. The second step is to load byte
address and byte data. During the Byte-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 initi-
ated, will be completed within 10 µs. See Figures 5 and 6 for WE# and CE# controlled Program opera-
tion timing diagrams and Figure 20 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 Program 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 SST39VF168x offer both Sector-Erase and Block-Erase mode. The sector
architecture is based on uniform sector size of 4 KByte. The Block-Erase mode is based on uniform
block size of 64 KByte. 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 sixth WE# pulse. The End-of-Erase opera-
tion can be determined using either Data# Polling or Toggle Bit methods. See Figures 10 and 11 for
