PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST49LF004B flash memory device is designed to
interface with host controllers (chipsets) that support a lowpin-count (LPC) interface for BIOS applications. The
SST49LF004B device complies with Intel’s LPC Interface
Specification 1.1, supporting single-byte Firmware Memory
and LPC Memory cycle types.
The SST49LF004B is 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 supported by the SST49LF004B:
LPC mode (Firmware Memory and LPC Memory cycle
types) for in-system operations and Parallel Programming
(PP) mode to interface with programming equipment.
The SST49LF004B flash memory device is manufactured
with SST’s proprietary, high-performance SuperFlash technology. The split-gate cell design and thick-oxide tunneling
injector attain greater reliability and manufacturability com©2003 Silicon Storage Technology, Inc.

pared with alternative approaches. The SST49LF004B
device significantly improves performance and reliability,
while lowering power consumption. The SST49LF004B
device writes (Program or Erase) with a single 3.0-3.6V
power supply.
The SST49LF004B provides a maximum Byte-Program
time of 20 µsec. The entire memory can be erased and
programmed byte-by-byte in 8 seconds when using status
detection features such as Toggle Bit or Data# Polling to
indicate the completion of Program operation. To protect
against inadvertent writes, the SST49LF004B device has
on-chip hardware and software write protection schemes. It
is offered with a typical endurance of 100,000 cycles. Data
retention is rated at greater than 100 years.
The SST49LF004B uses less energy during Erase and
Program than alternative flash memory technologies. 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 pro-

the cumulative number of Erase cycles as is necessary
with alternative flash memory technologies, whose Erase
and Program times increase with accumulated Erase/Program cycles.
gram and has a shorter erase time, the total energy consumed during any Erase or Program operation is less than
alternative flash memory technologies.
The SuperFlash technology provides fixed Erase and Program times, independent of the number of Erase/Program
cycles that have occurred. This means the system software

X
X
This pin determines which interface is operational. When held high, programmer mode is enabled and when held low, LPC mode is enabled. This pin must
be set at power-up or before returning from reset and must not change during
device operation. This pin must be held high (VIH) for PP mode and low (VIL)
for LPC mode. This pin is internally pulled-down with a resistor between 20100 KΩ.

X
To reset the operation of the device
X
This is the second reset pin for in-system use.
This pin functions identically to RST#.
X
These four pins are part of the mechanism that allows multiple parts to be
attached to the same bus. The strapping of these pins is used to identify the
component. The boot device must have ID[3:0]=0000, all subsequent devices
should use sequential count-up strapping. These pins are internally pulled-down
with a resistor between 20-100 KΩ.
X
These individual inputs can be used for additional board flexibility. The state of
these pins can be read through LPC registers. These inputs should be at their
desired state before the start of the LPC clock cycle during which the read is
attempted, and should remain in place until the end of the Read cycle.
Unused GPI pins must not be floated.

Data Sheet
Clock
General Purpose Inputs
The LCLK pin accepts a clock input from the host controller.
The General Purpose Inputs (GPI[4:0]) can be used as digital inputs for the CPU to read. The GPI register holds the
values on these pins. The data on the GPI pins must be
stable before the start of a GPI register Read and remain
stable until the Read cycle is complete. The pins must be
driven low, VIL, or high, VIH but not left unconnected (float).
Input/Output Communications
The LAD[3:0] pins are used to serially communicate cycle
information such as cycle type, cycle direction, ID selection,
address, data, and sync fields.
Write Protect / Top Block Lock
Input Communication Frame
The Top Boot Lock (TBL#) and Write Protect (WP#) pins
are provided for hardware write protection of device memory in the SST49LF004B. The TBL# pin is used to write protect 64 KByte at the highest memory address range for the
SST49LF004B. WP# pin write protects the remaining sectors in the flash memory. An active low signal at the TBL#
pin prevents Program and Erase operations of the top boot
block. When TBL# pin is held high, the hardware write protection of the top boot block is disabled. The WP# pin
serves the same function for the remaining blocks of the
device memory. The TBL# and WP# pins write protection
functions operate independently of one another. Both TBL#
and WP# pins must be set to their required protection states
prior to starting a Program or Erase operation. A logic level
change occurring at the TBL# or WP# pin during a Program
or Erase operation could cause unpredictable results.
The LFRAME# pin is used to indicate start of a LPC bus
cycle. The pin is also used to abort an LPC bus cycle in
progress.
Interface Mode Select
The MODE pin is used to set the interface mode. If the
mode pin is set to logic high, the device is in PP mode. If
the mode pin is set low, the device is in the LPC mode. The
mode selection pin must be configured prior to device operation. The mode pin is internally pulled down if the pin is left
unconnected.
Reset
A VIL on INIT# or RST# pin initiates a device reset. INIT#
and RST# pins have the same function internally. It is
required to drive INIT# or RST# pins low during a system
reset to ensure proper CPU initialization. During a Read
operation, driving INIT# or RST# pins low deselects the
device and places the output drivers, LAD[3:0], in a high
impedance state. The reset signal must be held low for a
minimum of time TRSTP. A reset latency occurs if a reset procedure is performed during a Program or Erase operation.
See Table 22 and Table 23, Reset Timing Parameters, for
more information. A device reset during an active Program
or Erase operation will abort the operation and memory
contents may become invalid due to data being altered or
corrupted from an incomplete Erase or Program operation.
Row / Column Select
The R/C# pin is used to control the multiplex address
inputs in Parallel Programming (PP) mode. The column
addresses are mapped to the higher internal addresses
(A18-11), and the row addresses are mapped to the lower
internal address (A10-0).
Output Enable
The OE# pin is used to gate the output data buffers in PP
mode.
Write Enable
Identification Inputs
The WE# pin is used to control the write operations in PP
mode.
These pins are part of a mechanism that allows multiple
devices to be attached to the same bus. The strapping of
these pins is used to identify the component. The boot
device must have ID[3:0] = 0; all subsequent devices
should use sequential count-up strapping. These pins are
internally pulled-down with a resistor between 20-100 KΩ.
No Connection
These pins are not connected internally.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION
SST recommends a high frequency 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor to be placed as close as possible between VDD and
VSS less than 1 cm away from the VDD pin of the device.
Additionally, a low frequency 4.7 µF electrolytic capacitor
from VDD to VSS should be placed within 1 cm of the VDD
pin. If a socket is used for programming purposes, an additional 1-10 µF should be added next to each socket.
The Product Identification mode identifies the device as the
SST49LF004B and manufacturer as SST.

MODE SELECTION
LPC MODE
The SST49LF004B flash memory device operates in two
distinct interface modes: the LPC mode and the Parallel
Programming (PP) mode. In LPC mode, communication
between the Host and the SST49LF004B occurs via the 4bit I/O communication signals, LAD[3:0], and LFRAME#. In
PP mode, the device is controlled via the 11 addresses,
A10-A0, and 8 I/O, DQ7-DQ0, signals. The address inputs
are multiplexed in row and column selected by control signal R/C# pin. The row addresses are mapped to the lower
internal addresses (A10-0), and the column addresses are
mapped to the higher internal addresses (A18-11). See Figure 3, Device Memory Map, for address assignments.
Device Operation
The LPC mode uses a 5-signal communication interface
consisting of one control line, LFRAME#, which is driven by
the host to start or abort a bus cycle, and a 4-bit data bus,
LAD[3:0], which is used to communicate cycle type, cycle
direction, ID selection, address, data and sync fields. The
device enters standby mode when LFRAME# is high and
no internal operation is in progress.
The SST49LF004B supports both single-byte Firmware
Memory Read/Write cycles and single-byte LPC Memory
Read/Write cycles as defined in Intel’s Low-Pin-Count
Interface Specification, Revision 1.1. The host drives
LFRAME# low for one or more clock cycles to initiate an
LPC cycle. The last latched value of LAD[3:0] before
LFRAME# is the START value. The START value determines whether the SST49LF004B will respond to a Firmware Memory Read/Write cycle or a LPC Memory Read/
Write cycle as defined in Table 3.

Abort Mechanism
Response to Invalid Fields for LPC
Memory Cycle
If LFRAME# is driven low for one or more clock cycles after
the start of a bus cycle, the cycle will be terminated. The
host may drive LAD[3:0] with '1111b' (ABORT nibble) to
return the interface to ready mode. The ABORT only
affects the current bus cycle. For a multi-cycle command
sequence, such as the Erase or Program SDP commands,
ABORT doesn't interrupt the entire command sequence,
only the current bus cycle of the command sequence. The
host can re-send the bus cycle for the aborted command
and continue the SDP command sequence after the device
is ready again.
ID mismatch: ID information is included in the address bits
of every LPC Memory cycle. Address bits A23, A21:A19 are
used to select the device with proper IDs. The
SST49LF004B will compare the ID bits in the address field
with ID[3:0]. If the ID bits in the address do not correspond
to the hardware ID pins the device will ignore the cycle. See
Multiple Device Selection section for details.
Address out of range: The address sequence is 8 fields
long (32 bits). Address bits A23, A21:A19 are used to select
the device with proper IDs. The SST49LF004B responds to
address range FFFF FFFFH to FF80 0000H and
000F FFFFH to 000E 0000H during LPC memory cycle
transfers. Address A22 has the special function of directing
reads and writes to the flash core (A22=1) or to the register
space (A22=0).
Response to Invalid Fields for Firmware
Memory Cycle
The SST49LF004B will not explicitly indicate that it has
received invalid field sequences. The response to specific
invalid fields or sequences is as follows:
Once valid START, CYCTYPE + DIR, and address range
(including ID bits) are received, the SST49LF004B will
always complete the bus cycle. However, if the device is
busy performing a flash Erase or Program operation, no
new internal Write command (memory Write or register
Write) will be executed. As long as the states of LAD[3:0]
and LFRAME# are known, the response of the
SST49LF004B to signals received during the LPC cycle
should be predictable.
ID mismatch: If the IDSEL field does not match ID[3:0],
the device will ignore the cycle. See Multiple Device Selection section for details.
Address out of range: The address sequence is 7
fields long (28 bits) for Firmware Memory bus cycles, but
only A22 and A18:A0 will be decoded by SST49LF004B.
Address A22 has the special function of directing reads and
writes to the flash core (A22=1) or to the register space
(A22=0).
Invalid MSIZE field: If the device receives an invalid
MSIZE field during a Firmware Memory Read or Write
cycle, the device will reset and no operation will be
attempted. The SST49LF004B will not generate any kind
of response in this situation. Invalid size fields for a Firmware Memory cycle are any data other than 0000b.
Once valid START, IDSEL, and MSIZE fields are received,
the SST49LF004B will always complete the bus cycle.
However, if the device is busy performing a flash Erase or
Program operation, no new Write command (memory write
or register write) will be executed.

Multiple Device Selection
Multiple Device Selection for LPC Memory Cycle
Multiple LPC flash devices may be strapped to increase
memory densities in a system. The four ID pins, ID[3:0],
allow up to 16 devices to be attached to the same bus by
using different ID strapping in a system. BIOS support, bus
loading, or the attaching bridge may limit this number. The
boot device must have an ID of 0000b (determined by
ID[3:0]); subsequent devices use incremental numbering.
Equal density must be used with multiple devices.
For LPC Memory Read/Write cycles, ID information is
included in the address bits of every cycle. The ID bits in
the address field are the inverse of the hardware strapping.
The address bits (A23, A21:A19) are used to select the
device with proper IDs. See Table 9 for multiple device
selection configurations. The SST49LF004B will compare
these bits with ID[3:0]’s strapping values. If there is a mismatch, the device will ignore the remainder of the cycle.

Firmware Memory Cycle
TABLE 9: LPC MEMORY MULTIPLE DEVICE
SELECTION CONFIGURATION
For Firmware Memory Read/Write cycles, hardware strapping values on ID[3:0] must match the values in IDSEL
field. See Table 8 for multiple device selection configurations. The SST49LF004B will compare the IDSEL field with
ID[3:0]'s strapping values. If there is a mismatch, the device
will ignore the reminder of the cycle.

Data Sheet
Write Operation Status Detection
isters appear at their respective address location in the 4
GByte system memory map. Unused register locations will
read as 00H. Any attempt to read or write any register during an internal Write operation will be ignored.
The SST49LF004B device provides two software means to
detect the completion of a Write (Program or Erase) cycle,
in order to optimize the system Write cycle time. The software detection includes two status bits: Data# Polling, D[7],
and Toggle Bit, D[6]. The End-of-Write detection mode is
incorporated into the Firmware Memory and LPC Memory
Read cycles. The actual completion of the nonvolatile write
is asynchronous with the system. Therefore, either a Data#
Polling or Toggle Bit read may be simultaneous with the
completion of the Write cycle. If this occurs, the system
may possibly get an erroneous result, i.e., valid data may
appear to conflict with either D[7] or D[6]. In order to prevent
spurious rejection, if an erroneous result occurs, the software routine should include a loop to read the accessed
location an additional two (2) times. If both reads are valid,
then the device has completed the Write cycle, otherwise
the rejection is valid.
General Purpose Inputs Register
The GPI_REG (General Purpose Inputs Register) passes
the state of GPI[4:0] to the outputs. It is recommended that
the GPI[4:0] pins are in the desired state before LFRAME#
is brought low for the beginning of the bus cycle, and remain
in that state until the end of the cycle. There is no default
value since this is a pass-through register. The GPI register
for the boot device appears at FFBC0100H in the 4 GByte
system memory map, and will appear elsewhere if the
device is not the boot device. The register is not available to
be read when the device is in Erase/Program operation.
Block Locking Registers
SST49LF004B provides software controlled lock protection
through a set of Block Locking registers. The Block Locking
registers are Read/Write registers and are accessible
through standard addressable memory locations specified
in Table 10 and Table 11. Unused register locations will
read as 00H.
Data# Polling
When the SST49LF004B device is in the internal Program
operation, any attempt to read D[7] will produce the complement of the true data. Once the Program operation is
completed, D[7] will produce true data. Note that even
though D[7] may have valid data immediately following the
completion of an internal Write operation, the remaining
data outputs may still be invalid. Valid data will appear on
the entire data bus in subsequent successive Read cycles
after an interval of 1 µs. During an internal Erase operation,
any attempt to read D[7] will produce a '0'. Once the internal Erase operation is completed, D[7] will produce a '1'.
Proper status will not be given using Data# Polling if the
address is in the invalid range.
Write Lock: The Write-Lock bit, bit 0, controls the lock
state. The default Write status of all blocks after power up is
write locked. When bit 0 of the Block Locking register is set,
Program and Erase operations for the corresponding block
are prevented. Clearing the Write-Lock bit will unprotect the
block. The Write-Lock bit must be cleared prior to starting a
Program or Erase operation since it is sampled at the
beginning of the operation. The Write-Lock bit functions in
conjunction with the hardware Write Lock pin TBL# for the
top Boot Block. When TBL# is low, it overrides the software
locking scheme. The top Boot Block Locking register does
not indicate the state of the TBL# pin. The Write-Lock bit
functions in conjunction with the hardware WP# pin for
blocks 0 to 6. When WP# is low, it overrides the software
locking scheme. The Block Locking registers do not indicate the state of the WP# pin.
Toggle Bit
During the internal Program or Erase operation, any consecutive attempts to read D[6] will produce alternating 0s and
1s, i.e., toggling between 0 and 1. When the internal Program or Erase operation is completed, the toggling will stop.
Note that even though D[6] may have valid data immediately
following the completion of an internal Write operation, the
remaining data outputs may still be invalid. Valid data will
appear on the entire data bus in subsequent successive
Read cycles after an interval of 1 µs. Proper status will not be
given using Toggle Bit if the address is in the invalid range.
Lock Down: The Lock-Down bit, bit 1, controls the Block
Locking registers. The default Lock Down status of all
blocks upon power-up is not locked down. Once the LockDown bit is set, any future attempted changes to that Block
Locking register will be ignored. The Lock-Down bit is only
cleared upon a device reset with RST# or INIT# or power
down. Current Lock Down status of a particular block can
be determined by reading the corresponding Lock-Down
bit.
Registers
There are three types of registers available on the
SST49LF004B, the General Purpose Inputs register, Block
Locking registers, and the JEDEC ID registers. These reg-

PARALLEL PROGRAMMING MODE
Device Operation
Block-Erase Operation
Commands are used to initiate the memory operation functions of the device. The data portion of the software command sequence is latched on the rising edge of WE#.
During the software command sequence the row address
is latched on the falling edge of R/C# and the column
address is latched on the rising edge of R/C#.
The Block-Erase Operation allows the system to erase any
of the 8 uniform 64 KByte blocks. The Block- Erase operation is initiated by executing a six-byte command load
sequence for Software Data Protection with Block-Erase
command (50H) and block address (BA) in the last bus
cycle. The internal Block-Erase operation begins after the
sixth WE# pulse. The End-of-Erase can be determined
using either Data# Polling or Toggle Bit methods. See Figure 19 for timing waveforms. Any commands written during
the Block- Erase operation will be ignored.
Read
The Read operation of the SST49LF004B device is controlled by OE#. OE# is the output control and is used to
gate data from the output pins. Refer to the Read cycle timing diagram, Figure 13, for further details.
Chip-Erase Operation
The SST49LF004B device provides a Chip-Erase operation only in PP mode, which allows the user to erase the
entire memory array to the '1's state. This is useful when
the entire device must be quickly erased. The Chip-Erase
operation is initiated by executing a six- byte Software Data
Protection command sequence with Chip- Erase command (10H) with address 5555H in the last bus cycle. The
internal Erase operation begins with the rising edge of the
sixth WE#. During the internal Erase operation, the only
valid reads are Toggle Bit or Data# Polling. See Table 13 for
the command sequence, Figure 20 for timing diagram. Any
commands written during the Chip-Erase operation will be
ignored.
Reset
A VIL on RST# pin initiates a device reset.
Byte-Program Operation
The SST49LF004B device is programmed on a byte-bybyte basis. Before programming, one must ensure that the
byte that is being programmed is fully erased. The ByteProgram operation is initiated by executing a four-byte command load sequence for Software Data Protection with
address (PA) and data in the last bus cycle. During the
Byte-Program operation, the row address (A10-A0) is
latched on the falling edge of R/C# and the column
Address (A21-A11) is latched on the rising edge of R/C#.
The data bus is latched on the rising edge of WE#. The
Program operation, once initiated, will be completed, within
20 µs. See Figure 17 for timing waveforms. During the Program operation, the only valid reads are Data# Polling and
Toggle Bit. During the internal Program operation, the host
is free to perform additional tasks. Any commands written
during the internal Program operation will be ignored.
Write Operation Status Detection
The SST49LF004B device provides two software means to
detect the completion of a Write (Program or Erase) cycle,
in order to optimize the system Write cycle time. The software detection includes two status bits: Data# Polling
(DQ7) and Toggle Bit (DQ6). The End-of-Write detection
mode is enabled after the rising edge of WE# which initiates the internal Program or Erase operation.
Sector-Erase Operation
The actual completion of the nonvolatile write is asynchronous with the system; therefore, either a Data# Polling or
Toggle Bit read may be simultaneous with the completion
of the Write cycle. If this occurs, the system may possibly
get an erroneous result, i.e., valid data may appear to conflict with either DQ7 or DQ6. In order to prevent spurious
rejection, if an erroneous result occurs, the software routine
should include a loop to read the accessed location an
additional two (2) times. If both reads are valid, the device
has completed the Write cycle, otherwise the rejection is
valid.
The Sector-Erase operation allows the system to erase the
device on a sector-by-sector basis. The sector architecture
is based on uniform sector size of 4 KByte. The SectorErase operation is initiated by executing a six-byte command load sequence for Software Data Protection with
Sector-Erase command (30H) and sector address (SA) in
the last bus cycle. The internal Erase operation begins after
the sixth WE# pulse. The End-of-Erase can be determined
using either Data# Polling or Toggle Bit methods. See Figure 18 for Sector-Erase timing waveforms. Any commands
written during the Sector-Erase operation will be ignored.

Data# Polling (DQ7)
Data Protection (PP Mode)
When the SST49LF004B device is in the internal Program
operation, any attempt to read DQ7 will produce the complement of the true data. Once the Program operation is
completed, DQ7 will produce true data. Note that even
though DQ7 may have valid data immediately following the
completion of an internal Write operation, the remaining
data outputs may still be invalid. Valid data will appear on
the entire data bus in subsequent successive Read cycles
after an interval of 1 µs. During an internal Erase operation,
any attempt to read DQ7 will produce a '0'. Once the internal Erase operation is completed, DQ7 will produce a '1'.
Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the fourth WE#
pulse for the Program operation. For Sector-Erase, BlockErase, or Chip-Erase, the Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the sixth WE# pulse. See Figure 15 for Data#
Polling timing diagram. Proper status will not be given using
Data# Polling if the address is in the invalid range.
The SST49LF004B device provides both hardware and
software features to protect nonvolatile data from inadvertent writes.
Hardware Data Protection
Noise/Glitch Protection: A WE# pulse of less than 5 ns will
not initiate a Write cycle.
VDD Power Up/Down Detection: The Write operation is
inhibited when VDD is less than 1.5V.
Write Inhibit Mode: Forcing OE# low, WE# high will inhibit
the Write operation. This prevents inadvertent writes during
power-up or power-down.
Software Data Protection (SDP)
The SST49LF004B provides the JEDEC approved Software Data Protection scheme for all data alteration operation, i.e., Program and Erase. Any Program operation
requires the inclusion of a series of three-byte sequence.
The three-byte load sequence is used to initiate the Program operation, providing optimal protection from inadvertent Write operations, e.g., during the system power-up or
power down. Any Erase operation requires the inclusion of
a five-byte load sequence.
Toggle Bit (DQ6)
During the internal Program or Erase operation, any consecutive attempts to read DQ6 will produce alternating '0's
and '1's, i.e., toggling between 0 and 1. When the internal
Program or Erase operation is completed, the toggling will
stop. The device is then ready for the next operation. The
Toggle Bit is valid after the rising edge of the fourth WE#
pulse for Program operation. For Sector-Erase, BlockErase or Chip-Erase, the Toggle Bit is valid after the rising
edge of the sixth WE# pulse. See Figure 16 for Toggle Bit
timing diagram.
