Product details
Overview
AT17LV128-10SI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 128-Kbit serial FPGA configuration EEPROM designed for master-serial mode loading of SRAM-based FPGAs. It supports dual-voltage operation (3.3V ±10% or 5.0V ±5%/±10%), offers in-system programmability via two-wire bus, and provides cascading capability through CEO output. It is used in industrial embedded systems requiring reliable, low-power nonvolatile configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT17LV128-10SI datasheet, AT17LV128-10SI pinout, AT17LV128-10SI application, or AT17LV128-10SI equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 20-lead SOIC package compatibility, programmable reset polarity, cascading support for multi-FPGA systems, and EEPROM endurance of 100,000 write cycles with 90-year data retention at 85°C.
Technical Context
The AT17LV128-10SI implements a serial address counter architecture synchronized to an external FPGA-provided CLK signal. Its RESET/OE pin serves dual functions-active-low reset and active-high output enable-with polarity programmable via internal EEPROM bytes. The device enters low-power standby (<100 µA at 3.3V industrial) when CE is high, and supports daisy-chained configurations via CEO output that asserts low upon end-of-data to enable the next device.
It operates in two distinct modes: FPGA configuration mode (SER_EN = high) and two-wire ISP programming mode (SER_EN = low). In configuration mode, it delivers stored bitstream directly to FPGA DIN using simple timing-controlled readback; no external controller is required. Write protection is implemented via dedicated WP input (available on AT17LV65/128/256 variants) and programmable block-level locks.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 | NC (No Connect) | Unbonded pins - must remain unconnected per design; no internal function or pull-up/down |
| 11 | GND | Ground reference for all I/O and core logic; requires local 0.2 µF decoupling to VCC |
| 12 | VCC | Primary power supply input - accepts either 3.3V or 5V with specified tolerance ranges |
| 13 | RESET/OE | Dual-function input: active-low reset (resets address counter) and active-high output enable (controls DATA driver) |
| 14 | CE | Chip Enable (active low) - enables read operations and disables address counter when high (standby mode) |
| 15 | DATA | Three-state bidirectional I/O - outputs configuration bits to FPGA DIN; used as input during ISP programming |
| 16 | CLK | Configuration clock input - increments internal address/bit counter on rising edge; driven by FPGA CCLK |
| 17 | SER_EN | Serial Enable (active high) - must be tied to VCC for FPGA configuration; pulled low to enter two-wire ISP mode |
| 18 | CEO | Chip Enable Output (active low) - signals end-of-data to enable next cascaded EEPROM in daisy chain |
| 19, 20 | NC | No-connect pins - electrically isolated; no routing or termination required |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by AT17LV128-10SI during FPGA configuration?
The AT17LV128-10SI supports up to 10 MHz at 3.3V under industrial conditions (–40°C to +85°C), and 12.5 MHz at 5V under commercial conditions (0°C to +70°C). These values are defined in the AC Characteristics tables and reflect guaranteed timing margins for reliable bitstream delivery to FPGA DIN inputs without setup/hold violations.
Does AT17LV128-10SI support both 3.3V and 5.0V operation simultaneously?
No, AT17LV128-10SI operates at either 3.3V ±10% or 5.0V ±5% (commercial) / ±10% (industrial), but not both simultaneously. The supply voltage must be selected at design time and maintained consistently across VCC and all referenced I/O thresholds. Mixed-voltage signaling is not supported.
Can AT17LV128-10SI be used in a daisy-chain configuration with other AT17LV devices?
Yes, AT17LV128-10SI supports cascading via its CEO (Chip Enable Output) pin, which goes low upon completion of its internal memory read. This signal can drive the CE input of the next AT17LV device in the chain, enabling automatic handoff of configuration data across multiple EEPROMs - a capability confirmed in the device's pin description and cascading application notes.
Is the reset polarity of AT17LV128-10SI fixed or programmable?
The reset polarity of AT17LV128-10SI is programmable. Users can configure the RESET/OE pin to operate as either active-low RESET or active-high OE by programming four specific EEPROM bytes using industry-standard programmers or Atmel's ATDH2225 ISP Cable. This eliminates external logic for polarity adaptation.
What package type does AT17LV128-10SI use, and is it compatible with standard SOIC footprints?
AT17LV128-10SI uses the 20-lead SOIC (20S2) package, a 0.300" wide JEDEC-standard gull-wing surface-mount outline. It is fully compatible with standard 20-lead SOIC footprints and reflow profiles, and shares mechanical dimensions and solder pad requirements with other 20S2 devices - enabling straightforward PCB integration and assembly.
