PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST39LF/VF160 devices are 1M x16 CMOS Multi-
Purpose Flash (MPF) manufactured with SST鈥檚 propri-
etary, high performance CMOS SuperFlash technology.
The split-gate cell design and thick oxide tunneling
injector attain better reliability and manufacturability com-
pared with alternate approaches. The SST39LF160 write
(Program or Erase) with a 3.0-3.6V power supply. The
SST39VF160 write (Program or Erase) with a 2.7-3.6V
power supply. These devices conform to JEDEC stan-
dard pinouts for x16 memories.
Featuring high performance Word-Program, the
SST39LF/VF160 devices provide a typical Word-Pro-
gram time of 14 碌sec.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 Protection
schemes. Designed, manufactured, 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 SST39LF/VF160 devices are suited for applications
that require convenient and economical updating of pro-
gram, configuration, or data memory. For all system
applications, they significantly improve performance and
reliability, while lowering power consumption. They inher-
ently use less energy during Erase and Program than
alternative flash technologies. The total energy con-

sumed 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 technologies. These devices also im-
prove 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 technolo-
gies, whose Erase and Program times increase with
accumulated Erase/Program cycles.
To meet high density, surface mount requirements, the
SST39LF/VF160 are offered in 48-pin TSOP and 48-ball
TFBGA packages. See Figures 1 and 2 for pinouts.
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.
