PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST serial flash family features a four-wire, SPIcompatible interface that allows for a low pin-count package occupying less board space and ultimately lowering
total system costs. SST25VF020 SPI serial flash memories are manufactured with SST’s 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 SST25VF020 device significantly improves performance, while lowering power consumption. The total
energy consumed is a function of the applied voltage, cur-

rent, 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
SST25VF020 device operates with a single 2.7-3.6V
power supply.
The SST25VF020 device is offered in an 8-lead SOIC 150
mil body width (SA) package, and in an 8-contact WSON
package. See Figure 2 for the pin assignments.
