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.

Functions
8-Contact WSON
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.
To transfer data serially out of the device.
Data is shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock.
Outputs Flash busy status during AAI Programming when reconfigured as RY/BY# pin.
See “Hardware End-of-Write Detection” on page 12 for details.
The device is enabled by a high to low transition on CE#. CE# must remain low for the
duration of any command sequence.
The Write Protect (WP#) pin is used to enable/disable BPL bit in the status register.
To temporarily stop serial communication with SPI flash memory without resetting the
device.

MEMORY ORGANIZATION
The SST25VF040B SuperFlash memory array is orga-
nized in uniform 4 KByte erasable sectors with 32 KByte
overlay blocks and 64 KByte overlay erasable blocks.
The SST25VF040B 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.
DEVICE OPERATION
The SST25VF040B 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).

Hold Operation
The HOLD# pin is used to pause a serial sequence under-
way with the SPI flash memory without resetting the clock-
ing sequence. To activate the HOLD# mode, CE# must be
in active low state. The HOLD# mode begins when the
SCK active low state coincides with the falling edge of the
HOLD# signal. The HOLD mode ends when the HOLD#
signal’s rising edge coincides with the SCK active low state.
If the falling edge of the HOLD# signal does not coincide
with the SCK active low state, then the device enters Hold
mode when the SCK next reaches the active low state.
Similarly, if the rising edge of the HOLD# signal does not
coincide with the SCK active low state, then the device
exits in Hold mode when the SCK next reaches the active
low state. See Figure 4 for Hold Condition waveform.
Once the device enters Hold mode, SO will be in high-
impedance state while SI and SCK can be V
IL
or V
IH.
If CE# is driven active high during a Hold condition, it resets
the internal logic of the device. As long as HOLD# signal is
low, the memory remains in the Hold condition. To resume
communication with the device, HOLD# must be driven
active high, and CE# must be driven active low. See Figure
24 for Hold timing.

Write Protection
SST25VF040B provides software Write protection. The
Write Protect pin (WP#) enables or disables the lock-down
function of the status register. The Block-Protection bits
(BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0, and BPL) in the status register pro-
vide Write protection to the memory array and the status
register. See Table 4 for the Block-Protection description.
Write Protect Pin (WP#)
The Write Protect (WP#) pin enables the lock-down func-
tion of the BPL bit (bit 7) in the status register. When WP#
is driven low, the execution of the Write-Status-Register
(WRSR) instruction is determined by the value of the BPL
bit (see Table 2). When WP# is high, the lock-down func-
tion of the BPL bit is disabled.
