PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST49LF00xB flash memory devices are designed to
interface with host controllers (chipsets) that support a lowpin-count (LPC) interface for BIOS applications. The
SST49LF00xB devices comply with Intel’s LPC Interface
Specification 1.1, supporting single-byte Firmware Memory
and LPC Memory cycle types.
The SST49LF00xB devices are backward compatible to
the SST49LF00xA Firmware Hub and the SST49LF0x0A
LPC Flash. In this document, FWH mode in the
SST49LF00xA specification is referenced as the Firmware
Memory Read/Write cycle and LPC mode in the
SST49LF0x0A specification is referenced as the LPC
Memory Read/Write cycle. Two interface modes are sup©2005 Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.

ported by the SST49LF00xB: LPC mode (Firmware Memory and LPC Memory cycle types) for in-system operations
and Parallel Programming (PP) mode to interface with programming equipment.
The SST49LF00xB flash memory devices are manufactured with SST’s proprietary, high-performance SuperFlash
technology. The split-gate cell design and thick-oxide tunneling injector attain greater reliability and manufacturability
compared with alternative approaches. The SST49LF00xB
devices significantly improve performance and reliability,
while lowering power consumption. The SST49LF00xB
devices write (Program or Erase) with a single 3.0-3.6V
power supply.
