PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST31LF041/041A devices are a 512K x8 CMOS
flash memory bank combined with a 128K x8 CMOS
SRAM memory bank manufactured with SST’s proprietary,
high performance SuperFlash technology. The
SST31LF041/041A devices write (SRAM or flash) with a
3.0-3.6V power supply. The monolithic SST31LF041/041A
devices conform to Software Data Protect (SDP) com-
mands for x8 EEPROMs.
Featuring high performance Byte-Program, the flash mem-
ory bank provides a maximum Byte-Program time of 20
µsec. The entire flash memory bank can be erased and
programmed byte-by-byte in typically 8 seconds, when
using interface features such as Toggle Bit or Data# Polling
to indicate the completion of Program operation. To protect
against inadvertent flash write, the SST31LF041/041A
devices have on-chip hardware and Software Data Protec-
tion schemes. Designed, manufactured, and tested for a
wide spectrum of applications, the SST31LF041/041A
devices are offered with a guaranteed endurance of 10,000
cycles. Data retention is rated at greater than 100 years.
The SST31LF041/041A operate as two independent mem-
ory banks with respective bank enable signals. The SRAM
and flash memory banks are superimposed in the same
memory address space. Both memory banks share com-
mon address lines, data lines, WE# and OE#. The memory
bank selection is done by memory bank enable signals.

The SRAM bank enable signal, BES# selects the SRAM
bank and the flash memory bank enable signal, BEF#
selects the flash memory bank. The WE# signal has to be
used with Software Data Protection (SDP) command
sequence when controlling the Erase and Program opera-
tions in the flash memory bank. The SDP command
sequence protects the data stored in the flash memory
bank from accidental alteration.
The SST31LF041/041A provide the added functionality of
being able to simultaneously read from or write to the
SRAM bank while erasing or programming in the flash
memory bank. The SRAM memory bank can be read or
written while the flash memory bank performs Sector-
Erase, Bank-Erase, or Byte-Program concurrently. All flash
memory Erase and Program operations will automatically
latch the input address and data signals and complete the
operation in background without further input stimulus
requirement. Once the internally controlled Erase or Pro-
gram cycle in the flash bank has commenced, the SRAM
bank can be accessed for Read or Write.
The SST31LF041/041A devices are suited for applications
that use both nonvolatile flash memory and volatile SRAM
memory to store code or data. For all system applications,
the SST31LF041/041A devices significantly improve per-
formance and reliability, while lowering power consumption,
when compared with multiple chip solutions. The
