Product Description
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 fre-
quency and lower power consumption. SST25VF080B
SPI serial flash memories are manufactured with pro-
prietary, high-performance CMOS SuperFlash technol-
ogy. The split-gate cell design and thick-oxide tunneling
injector attain better reliability and manufacturability
compared with alternate approaches.
The SST25VF080B devices significantly improve per-
formance and reliability, while lowering power con-
sumption. 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 program and has a shorter erase time,
the total energy consumed during any Erase or Pro-
gram operation is less than alternative flash memory
technologies.
The SST25VF080B device is offered in 8-lead SOIC
(200 mils), 8-contact WSON (6mm x 5mm), and 8-lead
PDIP (300 mils) packages. See

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.
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 10
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
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 4-1,
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 sam-
pled 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.
The SST25VF080B SuperFlash memory array is orga-
nized 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

Hold Operation
The HOLD# pin is used to pause a serial sequence
underway with the SPI flash memory without resetting
the clocking 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 coin-
cide 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 4-2
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 5-3
for Hold timing.

Write Protection
4.2.1
WRITE PROTECT PIN (WP#)
SST25VF080B provides software Write protection. The
Write Protect pin (WP#) enables or disables the lock-
down function of the status register. The Block-Protec-
tion bits (BP3, BP2, BP1, BP0, and BPL) in the status
register provide Write protection to the memory array
and the status register. See
Table 4-3
for the Block-Pro-
tection description.
The Write Protect (WP#) pin enables the lock-down
function 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 4-1).
When WP# is
high, the lock-down function of the BPL bit is disabled.

Status Register
The software status register provides status on
whether the flash memory array is available for any
Read or Write operation, whether the device is Write
enabled, and the state of the Memory Write protection.
During an internal Erase or Program operation, the sta-
tus register may be read only to determine the comple-
tion of an operation in progress.
