PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The 25 series Serial Flash family features a four-wire, SPI-
compatible interface that allows for a low pin-count pack-
age which occupies less board space and ultimately lowers
total system costs. The SST25VF040B devices are
enhanced with improved operating frequency and even
lower power consumption. SST25VF040B SPI serial flash
memories are manufactured with SST 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 SST25VF040B devices significantly improve perfor-
mance and reliability, while lowering power consumption.
The devices write (Program or Erase) with a single power
supply of 2.7-3.6V for SST25VF040B. 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 memory technologies.
The SST25VF040B device is offered in an 8-lead SOIC
(200 mils), 8-lead SOIC (150 mils), and 8-contact WSON
(6mm x 5mm) packages. See Figure 2 for pin assignments.
