PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST49LF020 flash memory device is designed to
interface with the LPC bus for PC and Internet Applicance
applications. It provides protection for the storage and
update of code and data in addition to adding system
design flexibility through five General Purpose Inputs (GPI).
The SST49LF020 is in compliance with Intel Low Pin
Count (LPC) Interface Specification 1.0. Two interface
modes are supported: LPC Mode for In-System program-
ming and Parallel Programming (PP) Mode for fast factory
programming.
The SST49LF020 flash memory device is manufactured
with SST’s proprietary, high performance SuperFlash
Technology. The split-gate cell design and thick oxide
tunneling injector attain better reliability and manufactura-
bility compared with alternate approaches. The
SST49LF020 device significantly improves performance
and reliability, while lowering power consumption. The
SST49LF020 device writes (Program or Erase) with a
single 3.0-3.6V power supply. It uses less energy during
Erase and Program than alternative flash memory tech-
nologies. The total energy consumed is a function of the
applied voltage, current and time of application. Since for
any give 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 technolo-
gies. The SST49LF020 product provides a maximum
Byte-Program time of 20µsec. The entire memory can be
erased and programmed byte-by-byte typically in 4 sec-
onds, when using status detection features such as Tog-
gle Bit or Data# Polling to indicate the completion of
Program operation. The SuperFlash technology provides
fixed Erase and Program time, independent of the num-
ber of Erase/Program cycles that have performed. There-
fore the system software or hardware does not have to
be calibrated or correlated to the cumulative number of
Erase/Program cycles as is necessary with alternative
flash memory technologies, whose Erase and Program
time increase with accumulated Erase/Program cycles.
To protect against inadvertent write, the SST49LF020
device has on-chip hardware and software data (SDP)
protection schemes. It is offered with a typical endurance
of 100,000 cycles. Data retention is rated at greater than
100 years.
