Product Description
SST25PF040C is a member of the Serial Flash 25
Series family and feature 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. SPI serial flash memory is manufactured
with proprietary, high-performance CMOS SuperFlash
technology. The split-gate cell design and thick-oxide
tunneling injector attain better reliability and manufac-
turability compared with alternate approaches.
This Serial Flash significantly improve performance
and reliability, while lowering power consumption. The
device writes (Program or Erase) with a single power
supply of 2.3-3.6V. 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 con-
sumed during any Erase or Program operation is less
than alternative flash memory technologies.
SST25PF040C is offered in 8-lead SOIC and 8-contact
WDFN and USON packages. See
Figure 2-1
for the pin
assignments.

TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS
It is our intention to provide our valued customers with the best documentation possible to ensure successful use of your Microchip
products. To this end, we will continue to improve our publications to better suit your needs. Our publications will be refined and
enhanced as new volumes and updates are introduced.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this publication, please contact the Marketing Communications Department via
E-mail at
docerrors@microchip.com.
We welcome your feedback.
Most Current Data Sheet
To obtain the most up-to-date version of this data sheet, please register at our Worldwide Website at:
http://www.microchip.com
You can determine the version of a data sheet by examining its literature number found on the bottom outside corner of any page.
The last character of the literature number is the version number, (e.g., DS30000000A is version A of document DS30000000).
Errata
An errata sheet, describing minor operational differences from the data sheet and recommended workarounds, may exist for current
devices. As device/documentation issues become known to us, we will publish an errata sheet. The errata will specify the revision
of silicon and revision of document to which it applies.
To determine if an errata sheet exists for a particular device, please check with one of the following:
• Microchip’s Worldwide Website;
http://www.microchip.com
• Your local Microchip sales office (see last page)
When contacting a sales office, please specify which device, revision of silicon and data sheet (include literature number) you are
using.

Functions
To provide the input/output 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.

Serial Data Input/
To transfer commands, addresses, or data serially into the device, or data out of
Output for Dual I/O the device. Inputs are latched on the rising edge of the serial clock. Data is

shifted out on the falling edge of the serial clock. These pins are used in Dual
I/O mode
Chip Enable
The device is enabled by a high to low transition on CE#. CE# must remain low
for the duration of any command sequence. The device is deselected and
placed in Standby mode when CE# is high.
The Write Protect (WP#) pin is used to enable/disable BPL bit in the status reg-
ister.
To temporarily stop serial communication with SPI Flash memory while device
is selected.
