PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The SST32HF802/162/164 ComboMemory devices integrate a 512K x16 or 1M x16 CMOS flash memory bank
with a 128K x16 or 256K x16 CMOS SRAM memory bank
in a Multi-Chip Package (MCP), m anufactured with SST’s
proprietary , high performance SuperFlash technology.
Featuring high performance Word-Program, the flash
memory bank provides a maximum Word-Program time of
14 µsec. The entire flash memory bank can be erased and
programmed word-by-word in typi cally 8 seconds for the
SST32HF802 an d 15 seconds for the SST32HF 162/164,
when using interface features such as Toggle Bit or Data#
Polling to indicate the completion of Program operation. To
protect against inad vertent flash write, the SS T32HF802/
162/164 devices contain on-chip hardware and software
data protection schemes.The SST32HF802/162/164
devices offer a guaranteed endurance of 10,000 cycles.
Data retention is rated at greater than 100 years.
The SST32HF802/162/164 devices consist of two independent memor y banks with re spective bank enable signals. The Flash and SRAM memory banks are
superimposed in the same memory address space. Both
memory ba nks share common address lines, data lines,
WE# and OE#. The memor y bank selection is done by
memory bank enable signals. The SRAM bank enable signal, BES# selects the SRAM bank. The flash memory
bank enable signal, B EF# s elects the f lash me mory bank.
The WE# signal has to be used with Software Data Protection (SDP) command sequence when controlling the Erase
and Program operatio ns in the flash memor y bank. The
SDP command seque nce protects the data stored in th e
flash memory bank from accidental alteration.
The SST32HF802/162/164 provide the added functionality
of being able to simultaneo usly read from or write to th e
SRAM bank while erasing or programming in the flash
memory ban k. The SRAM memo ry bank can be read or
written while the flash memory bank performs SectorErase, Bank-Erase, or Word-Program concurrently. All
flash memory Erase and Program operations will automatically latch the input address and data signals and complete
the operation in ba ckground without fur ther in put stimulus
requirement. On ce the internally contro lled erase or program cycle in the fla sh bank has c ommenced , the SRAM
bank can be accessed for read or write.
The SST32HF802/162 /164 devices are sui ted for applications that use both flash memory and S RAM memory to
store code or data. For systems requiring low power and
small form factor, the SST32HF802/162/164 devices significantly improve performance and reliability, while lowering
power consumption, when compared with multiple chip
solutions. The SST32HF802/162/164 inherently use less
energy during erase and program than alternative flash

technologies. The tota l energy consumed is a function of
the applied voltage, curre nt, and time of ap plic ation . Sinc e
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 technologies.
The SuperFlash te ch nology provides fixed Erase and P r ogram times, independent o f th e numbe r of Erase/ Pro gram
cycles that have occurred. Therefore the system software
or hardware does not have to be modified or de-rated as is
necessary with al ternativ e flas h techno logies , whos e Erase
and Program times i ncrease with accumul ated Erase/P rogram cycles .
Device Operation
The ComboMemory uses BES# and BEF# to control operation of either the SRAM or the flash memory bank. When
BES# is low, the SRAM Bank is activated for Read and
Write operatio n. When BEF# is l ow the flash b ank is act ivated for Read, Program or Erase operation. BES# and
BEF# cannot be at low level at the same time. If BES# and
BEF# are both asserted to low level bus contention will
result and the device may suffer permanent damage. A ll
address, data, and control lines are shared by SRAM Bank
and flash bank whi ch minimizes power consumption and
loading. The device goes into standby when both bank
enables are high.
SRAM Operation
With BES# low and BEF# high, the SST32HF802/162
operate as 128K x16 CMOS SRAM, and the SST32HF164
operates as 256K x16 CMOS SRAM, with fully static operation requiring no external clocks or timing strobes. The
SST32HF802/162 SRAM is mapped into the first 128
KWord address space of the device, and the SST32HF164
SRAM is mapped into the first 256 KWord address space.
When BES# and BE F# are hi gh, both m emor y ba nks are
deselected and the device enters standby mode. Read and
Write cycle times are equal. The control signals UBS# and
LBS# provide access to the upper data byte and lower data
byte. See Table 3 for SRAM read a nd w rite data byte control modes of operation.
SRAM Write
The SRAM Write operation of the SST32HF802/162/164
is controlled by WE# and BES# being low for the system
to write to the SRAM. During the Word-Write operation,
the addresses and data are referenced to the rising edge
of WE# or BES#, which ever occurs first. The write time is
measured from the last falling edge to the rising edge of
WE# or BES#. Refer to the Write cycle timing diagrams,
Figures 4 and 5, f or further details .
Flash Operation
With BEF# active, the SST32HF162/164 operate as 1M
x16 flash memory and the SST32HF802 operates as 512K
x16 flash memo ry. The flash memor y bank is re ad using
the common address lines, data lines, WE# and OE#.
Erase and Program operations are initiated with the
JEDEC standard SDP command sequences. Address and
data are latched during the SDP commands and during the
internally timed Erase and Program operations.
Flash Read
The Read operation of the SST32HF 802 /162 /164 devices
is control led by BE F# and OE #. Both have to be low, with
WE# high, for the system to obtain data from the outputs.
BEF# is used for flash memory bank selection. When
BEF# and BES# are high, both banks are deselected and
only standby power is consumed. OE# is the output control and is used to gate d ata from the ou tput pins. The data
bus is in high impedance state when OE# is high. Ref er to
Figure 6 for further details.
Flash Erase/Program Operation
SDP commands are used to initiate the flash memory bank
Program and Erase op erations of the SST32HF 802/162/
164. SDP commands are loaded to the flash memory bank
using standard microprocess or write sequences. A command is loaded by asserting WE# low while keeping BEF#
low and OE# high. The a ddress is latched on the falling
edge of WE# or BEF#, wh ichever occurs last. The dat a is
latched on the rising edge of WE# or BEF#, whichever
occurs first.
SRAM Read
The SRAM Read operation of the SST32HF802/162/164 is
controlled by OE# and BES#, both have to be low with
WE# high for the system to obtain data fr om the outputs.
BES# is used for SRAM bank se le ction. OE# is the ou tpu t
control and is used to gate data fr om the outpu t pins. The
data bus is in high impedance state when OE# is high. See
Figure 3 for the Read cycle timing diagram.
The flash memory bank of the SST32HF802/162/164
devices is programmed on a word-by-word basis. Before
the Program operations, the memory must b e erased fi rst .
The Program operati on consists of three steps. Th e first
step is the three-byte load sequence for Software Data Protection. The second step is to load word address and word
data. During the Word-Program operation, the addres ses
Data Sheet
are latched on the falling edge of either BEF# or WE#,
whichever occurs last. The data is latched on the rising
edge of either BEF# or W E#, whichever occurs first. The
third step is the internal Program operat ion which is initiated after the rising edge of the fourth WE# or BEF#,
whichever occurs first. The P rogram operation, once in itiated, will be completed, within 20 µs. See Figures 7 and 8
for WE# and BEF# controlled Program operation timing
diagrams and Figure 18 for flowcharts. During the Program
operation, the only valid flas h Read operations are Data#
Polling and Toggle B it. Dur ing the i nternal Program ope ration, the host is free to pe rform additio nal tasks. Any SDP
commands load ed during the inter nal Program operation
will be ignored.
Flash Sector/Block-Erase Operation
The Flash Sector/Block-Erase operation allows the system
to erase the device on a sector-by-sector (or block-byblock) basis. The SST32HF802/162/1 64 offer both SectorErase and Block-Erase mode. The sector architecture is
based on uniform sector size of 2 KWord. The Block-Erase
mode is based on uniform block size of 32 KWord. The
Sector-Erase op eration is init iated by executing a six-byte
command sequence with Sector-Erase command (30H)
and sector address (SA) in the last bus cycle. The address
lines A
, for SST32HF162/164, and A18-A11, for
19-A11
SST32HF802, ar e used to deter mine the sector ad dress.
The Block-Erase opera tion is initiated by executing a sixbyte command sequence with Block-Erase command
(50H) and block address ( BA) in the last bus cycle. The
address lines A
, for SST32HF162/164, and A18-A15,
19-A15
for SST32HF802, are used to determine the block address.
The sector or block address is latched on the falling edge of
the sixth WE# p ulse, while the command (30H or 50H) is
latched on the rising edge of the sixth WE# pulse. The
internal Era se operati on begin s after t he sixth W E# puls e.
The End-of-Erase operation can be determined using
either Data# Polling or Toggle Bit methods. See Figures 12
and 13 for timing waveforms. Any commands issued during
the Sector- or Block-Erase operation are ignored.
Flash Chip-Erase Operation
The SST32HF802/162/164 provide a Chip-Erase operation, which allows the user to erase the entire memory
array to the “1” state. This is useful when the entire device
must be quickly erased.
The Chip-Erase operation is initiated by executing a sixbyte command sequence with Chip-Erase command (10H)
at address 5555H in the last byte sequence. The Eras e
operation begins with the rising edge of the sixt h WE# or
CE#, whichever occurs first. During the Erase operation,
the only valid read is T oggle Bit or Data# Polling. See Table
4 for the command sequence, Figure 10 for timing diagram,
and Figure 21 for the flowchart. Any commands issued during the Chip-Erase operation are ignored.
Write Operation Status Detection
The SST32HF802/162/164 provide two software means to
detect the compl etion o f a wr i te (P rogram or E rase) cycle,
in order to opt imize the system wr ite cy cle time. Th e software detection includes two status bits: Data# Polling
) and Toggle Bit (DQ6). The End-of-Write detection
(DQ
7
mode is enabled after the r ising edge of WE#, which in itiates the internal program or erase operation.
The actual comple tion of the n onvolatile write is as ync hronous with the sys tem; therefore, either a Data# Polling or
Toggle Bit read may be simultaneou s with the compl etion
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 Q
or DQ6. In order to prevent spurio us
7
rejection, if an erroneous result occurs, the software routine
should include a loop to read the accessed location an
additional two (2) times. If bo th reads are valid, then the
device has completed the write cycle, otherwise the rejection is valid.
Flash Data# Polling (DQ7)
When the SST32HF 8 02/ 162 /16 4 f las h me mory banks a r e
in the internal Program operation, any attempt to read DQ
will produce the co mplement of the true data. Once th e
Program operation is completed, DQ
data. Note that even though DQ
will produce true
7
may have valid data
7
immediately following the completion of an inter nal Write
operation, the remai ning data outputs may still be invalid:
valid data on the entire data bus will appear in subsequent
successive Read cycles. During internal Erase operation,
any attempt to read DQ
nal Erase operation is c ompleted, DQ
will produce a ‘0’. Onc e the in ter -
7
will produce a ‘1’.
7
The Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the fourth
WE# (or BEF#) pulse for Program operation. For Sector- or
Block-Er a se, the Data# Polling is valid after the risi n g edge
of the sixth WE# (or BEF#) pulse. See Figure 9 for Data#
Pol ling timi ng diag ram and Fi gure 19 f or a fl owc hart.
Flash Toggle Bit (DQ6)
During the inter nal Program or Erase ope ration, any consecutive attempts to read DQ
and 0s, i.e., toggling between 1 and 0. W hen the internal
Program or Erase operation is com plete d, t he tog gling wi ll
stop. The flash memor y bank is then ready for the next
operation. The T oggle Bit is valid after the rising edge of the
fourth WE# (or BEF#) pulse for Program operation. For
Sector- or Bank-Er ase, t he Toggle Bit is v alid af ter the rising
edge of the sixth WE# (or BEF#) pul se. See F igure 10 for
Toggle Bit timing diagram and Figure 19 for a flowchart.
Flash Memory Data Protection
The SST32HF802/162/164 flash memory bank provides
both hardware and software features to protec t nonvolatile
data from inadvertent writes.
Flash Hardware Data Protection
Noise/Glitch Protection: A WE# or BEF# pulse of less than
5 ns will not initiate a Write cycle.
Power Up/Down Detection: The Write operation is

DD
inhibited when V
Write Inhibi t Mode:
is less than 1.5V.
DD
Forcing OE# low, BEF# high, or WE #
high will inhibit the Flash Write operation. This prevents
inadvertent writes during power-up or power-down.
Flash Software Data Protection (SDP)
The SST32HF802/162/164 provide the JEDEC approved
software data protection scheme for all flash memory bank
data alteration operations, 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 inadver tent Write operations, e.g., during
the system power-up or power-down. Any Erase operation
requires the inclusion of six-byte load sequence. The
SST32HF802/162/164 devices are shipped with the software data protection permanently enabled. See Table 4 for
the specific software command codes. During SDP command sequence, invalid SDP commands will abort the
device to the read mode, within Read Cycle Time (T
RC
).
Concurrent Read and Write Operations
The SST32HF802/162/164 provide the unique benefit of
being able to read from or write to SRAM, while simultaneously erasing or programming the Flash. This allows data
alteration code to be executed from SRAM, while altering
the data in Flash. The following tab le lists all v alid states.

The device will ig nore a ll S DP c omma nds when an Era se

Product Identification
The product id entification mode identifies the devices as
the SST32HFxxx and manufacturer as SST. This mode
may be accessed by software operations only. The
hardware device ID Read operation, which is typically
used by programmers, cannot be used on this device
because of the shared lines between flash and SRAM
in the multi-chip package. Therefore, application of
high voltage to pin A
may damage this device. Users
9
may use the software product identification operation to
identify the part (i.e., using the device ID) when using multiple manufacturers in the same socket. For details, see
Tables 3 and 4 for software operation, Figure 14 for the
software ID entr y and rea d timing dia gram and Figure 20

Product Identification Mode Exit/Reset
In order to retur n to the sta nda rd r ead mod e, the So ftwar e
Product Identification mode must be exited. Exiting is
accomplished by issuing the Exit ID command sequence,
which returns the device to the Read operation. Please
note that the software-reset command is ignored during an
internal Pr ogram or Erase op eration. See Table 4 for software command cod es, Figur e 15 for timin g waveform and
