power consumption. They inherently use less energy
during Erase and Program than alternative flash tech-
nologies. 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 tech-
nologies. 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 sys-
tem software or hardware does not have to be modified
or de-rated as is necessary with alternative flash tech-
nologies, whose Erase and Program times increase with
accumulated Erase/Program cycles.
To meet high density, surface mount requirements, the
SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 are offered in
44-pin SOIC, 48-pin TSOP and 48-pin TFBGA pack-
ages. See Figures 1, 2 and 3 for pinouts.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 devices
are 512K x16 / 1M x16 CMOS Multi-Purpose Flash
(MPF) manufactured with SST’s proprietary, high perfor-
mance CMOS SuperFlash technology. The split-gate
cell design and thick oxide tunneling injector attain better
reliability and manufacturability compared with alternate
approaches. The SST39LF800/160 write (Program or
Erase) with a 3.0-3.6V power supply. The SST39VF800/
160 write (Program or Erase) with a 2.7-3.6V power
supply. These devices conform to JEDEC standard
pinouts for x16 memories.
Featuring high performance Word-Program, the
SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 devices pro-
vide a typical Word-Program time of 14 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 Soft-
ware Data Protection schemes. Designed, manufac-
tured, and tested for a wide spectrum of applications,
these devices are offered with a guaranteed endurance
of 10,000 cycles. Data retention is rated at greater than
100 years.
The SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 devices
are suited for applications that require convenient and
economical updating of program, configuration, or data
memory. For all system applications, they significantly
improve performance and reliability, while lowering

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 SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 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 current
from typically 15 mA to typically 4 µA. The Auto Low Power
mode reduces the typical I
DD
active read current to the
range of 1 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.
Read
The Read operation of the SST39LF800/160 and
SST39VF800/160 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 imped-
ance state when either CE# or OE# is high. Refer to the
Read cycle timing diagram for further details (Figure 4).
Word-Program Operation
The SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 are pro-
grammed on a word-by-word basis. The Program opera-
tion consists of 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 Pro-
gram operation, once initiated, will be completed within 20
µs. See Figures 5 and 6 for WE# and CE# controlled
Program operation timing diagrams and Figure 17 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.
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 SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/
160 offer both Sector-Erase and Block-Erase mode. The
sector architecture is based on uniform sector size of 2
© 2000 Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.
KWord. The Block-Erase mode is based on uniform block
size of 32 KWord. The Sector-Erase operation is initiated
by executing a six-byte command sequence with Sector-
Erase command (30H) and sector address (SA) in the last
bus cycle. The Block-Erase operation is initiated by ex-
ecuting a six-byte command sequence with Block-Erase
command (50H) 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 operation can be determined
using either Data# Polling or Toggle Bit methods. See
Figures 10 and 11 for timing waveforms. Any commands
issued during the Sector- or Block-Erase operation are
ignored.
Chip-Erase Operation
The SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 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 5555H 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 4 for the command sequence, Figure 9 for timing
diagram, and Figure 20 for the flowchart. Any commands
issued during the Chip-Erase operation are ignored.
Write Operation Status Detection
The SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 provide two
software means to detect the completion of a Write (Pro-
gram or Erase) cycle, in order to optimize the system write
cycle time. The software detection includes two status bits:
Data# Polling (DQ
7
) and Toggle Bit (DQ
6
). The End-of-
Write detection 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 asynchro-
nous 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 DQ
7
or DQ
6
. In order to prevent spurious
rejection, if an erroneous result occurs, the software rou-
tine 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.

Data Sheet
Data# Polling (DQ
7
)
When the SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 are in
the internal Program operation, any attempt to read DQ
7
will produce the complement of the true data. Once the
Program operation is completed, DQ
7
will produce true
data. The device is then ready for the next operation.
During internal Erase operation, any attempt to read DQ7
will produce a ‘0’. Once the internal Erase operation is
completed, DQ7 will 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 rising edge of sixth WE# (or
CE#) pulse. See Figure 7 for Data# Polling timing diagram
and Figure 18 for a flowchart.
Toggle Bit (DQ
6
)
During the internal Program or Erase operation, any con-
secutive attempts to read DQ
6
will produce alternating 1’s
and 0’s, i.e., toggling between 1 and 0. When the internal
Program or Erase operation is completed, the DQ6 bit will
stop toggling. The device is then ready for the next opera-
tion. The Toggle Bit is valid after the rising edge of fourth
WE# (or CE#) pulse for Program operation. For Sector-,
Block- or Chip-Erase, the Toggle Bit is valid after the rising
edge of sixth WE# (or CE#) pulse. See Figure 8 for Toggle
Bit timing diagram and Figure 18 for a flowchart.
Data Protection
The SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 provide
both hardware and software features to protect 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.
V
DD
Power Up/Down Detection: The Write operation is
inhibited when V
DD
is less than 1.5V.
Write Inhibit Mode: Forcing OE# low, CE# high, or WE#
high will inhibit the Write operation. This prevents inadvert-
ent writes during power-up or power-down.
Software Data Protection (SDP)
The SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 provide the
JEDEC approved Software Data Protection 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 4 for the specific software command
© 2000 Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.
codes. During SDP command sequence, invalid com-
mands will abort the device to read mode within T
RC
. The
contents of DQ
15
-DQ
8
are “Don’t Care” during any SDP
command sequence.
Common Flash Memory Interface (CFI)
The SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160 also contain
the CFI information to describe the characteristics of the
device. In order to enter the CFI Query mode, the system
must write three-byte sequence, same as product ID entry
command with 98H (CFI Query command) to address
5555H in the last byte sequence. Once the device enters
the CFI Query mode, the system can read CFI data at the
addresses given in tables 5 through 7. 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 SST39LF/VF800, SST39LF/VF160 and manufacturer
as SST. This mode may be accessed by hardware or
software operations. The hardware operation is typically
used by a programmer to identify the correct algorithm for
the SST39LF800/160 and SST39VF800/160. Users may
wish to use the Software Product Identification operation to
identify the part (i.e., using the device code) when using
multiple manufacturers in the same socket. For details, see
Table 3 for hardware operation or Table 4 for software
operation, Figure 12 for the Software ID Entry and Read
timing diagram and Figure 19 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 accom-
plished by issuing the Software ID Exit command se-
quence, which returns the device to the Read operation.
This command may also be used to reset the device to the
Read mode after any inadvertent transient condition that
apparently causes the device to behave abnormally, e.g.,
not read correctly. Please note that the Software ID Exit/CFI
Exit command is ignored during an internal Program or
Erase operation. See Table 4 for software command codes,
Figure 14 for timing waveform and Figure 19 for a flowchart.
