8 Mbit SPI Serial Flash
A Microchip Technology Company
SST25VF080B
Data Sheet
SST's 25 series Serial Flash family features a four-wire, SPI-compatible interface
that allows for a low pin-count package which occupies less board space and ulti-
mately lowers total system costs. The SST25VF080B devices are enhanced with
improved operating frequency and lower power consumption. SST25VF080B SPI
serial flash memories are manufactured with SST's proprietary, high-performance
CMOS SuperFlash technology. The split-gate cell design and thick-oxide tunnel-
ing injector attain better reliability and manufacturability compared with alternate
approaches.

Data Sheet
Product Description
SST’s 25 series Serial Flash family features a four-wire, SPI-compatible interface that allows for a low
pin-count package which occupies less board space and ultimately lowers total system costs. The
SST25VF080B devices are enhanced with improved operating frequency and lower power consump-
tion. SST25VF080B SPI serial flash memories are 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 SST25VF080B devices significantly improve performance and reliability, while lowering power
consumption. The devices write (Program or Erase) with a single power supply of 2.7-3.6V for
SST25VF080B. 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 pro-
gram and has a shorter erase time, the total energy consumed during any Erase or Program operation
is less than alternative flash memory technologies.
The SST25VF080B device is offered in 8-lead SOIC (200 mils), 8-lead SOIC (150 mils), 8-contact
WSON (6mm x 5mm), and 8-lead PDIP (300 mils) packages. See Figure 2 for pin assignments.

Functions
To provide the timing of the serial interface.
Commands, addresses, or input data are latched on the rising edge of the clock
input, while output data is shifted out on the falling edge of the clock input.
To transfer commands, addresses, or data serially into the device.
Inputs are latched on the rising edge of the serial clock.

Memory Organization
The SST25VF080B SuperFlash memory array is organized in uniform 4 KByte erasable sectors with 32
KByte overlay blocks and 64 KByte overlay erasable blocks.
Device Operation
The SST25VF080B is accessed through the SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) bus compatible protocol.
The SPI bus consist of four control lines; Chip Enable (CE#) is used to select the device, and data is
accessed through the Serial Data Input (SI), Serial Data Output (SO), and Serial Clock (SCK).
The SST25VF080B supports both Mode 0 (0,0) and Mode 3 (1,1) of SPI bus operations. The difference
between the two modes, as shown in Figure 3, is the state of the SCK signal when the bus master is in
Stand-by mode and no data is being transferred. The SCK signal is low for Mode 0 and SCK signal is
high for Mode 3. For both modes, the Serial Data In (SI) is sampled at the rising edge of the SCK clock
signal and the Serial Data Output (SO) is driven after the falling edge of the SCK clock signal.
