Product details
Overview
AT28BV64-30PC from Atmel is a 64K (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM designed for battery-powered systems, operating at 2.7V–3.6V with 300 ns read access time, 3 ms byte write cycle, and 50 µA CMOS standby current. It supports direct microprocessor control via READY/BUSY and DATA polling, and features JEDEC-approved byte-wide pinout in PDIP package.
For engineers reviewing the AT28BV64-30PC datasheet, AT28BV64-30PC pinout, AT28BV64-30PC application, or AT28BV64-30PC equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage operation, embedded write-cycle detection methods, industrial temperature support, and compatibility with SRAM-like bus interfacing without external timing logic.
Technical Context
The AT28BV64-30PC implements a self-timed byte-write architecture with internal clear-and-write sequencing, eliminating need for external write pulse control. It uses CMOS nonvolatile technology with error correction for 100,000 endurance cycles and 10-year data retention.
Two hardware-based write completion detection mechanisms are supported: open-drain RDY/BUSY output for level-sensing and DATA polling on I/O7 (complement-to-data during write, true data upon completion), enabling flexible integration with 8-bit microcontrollers and memory-mapped peripherals.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C64B-15PU | 5V-only supply (4.5–5.5V); 150 ns access; no RDY/BUSY pin; requires external write timing | Limited to 5V systems; lacks hardware write completion signaling; higher active current (25 mA) | Select only if legacy 5V design exists and write-cycle polling is handled in firmware |
| M95640-DW DW | SPI serial interface; 2.5–5.5V supply; 5 ms write time; no parallel bus or RDY/BUSY | Requires SPI controller and software driver; incompatible pinout and protocol; lower pin count | Choose for space-constrained designs where serial interface suffices and bus bandwidth is not critical |
Compared with AT28C64B-15PU and M95640-DW DW, the AT28BV64-30PC uniquely delivers 3V-compatible parallel operation with hardware-assisted write synchronization-enabling simpler, more deterministic integration in battery-powered 8-bit microcontroller systems without sacrificing endurance or retention.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range of the AT28BV64-30PC?
The AT28BV64-30PC operates from 2.7V to 3.6V DC. This low-voltage range enables direct integration into 3V battery-powered systems and eliminates the need for level-shifting when interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers. The device includes VCC-sense write inhibition to prevent data corruption during brownout conditions below ~1.8V.
Does the AT28BV64-30PC support hardware write completion detection?
Yes, the AT28BV64-30PC provides two hardware-supported methods: an open-drain RDY/BUSY pin that goes low during write and releases high upon completion, and DATA polling on I/O7, which returns the complement of written data until the cycle finishes. Both mechanisms are fully documented in the AT28BV64-30PC datasheet and require no external components.
What package type is used for the AT28BV64-30PC?
The AT28BV64-30PC is packaged in a 28-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), designated as 28P6 per Atmel's ordering information. It conforms to JEDEC MS-011 AB mechanical standards and features pin 1 index marking and standard through-hole mounting.
How many write/erase cycles does the AT28BV64-30PC guarantee?
The AT28BV64-30PC guarantees 100,000 write/erase cycles per memory location. This endurance rating is specified under standard operating conditions and validated using Atmel's internal error-correction-enhanced CMOS process, making it suitable for applications requiring frequent field updates such as firmware patching or configuration logging.
Is the AT28BV64-30PC compatible with standard SRAM bus timing?
Yes, the AT28BV64-30PC is accessed like a static RAM for both read and write operations - CE, OE, and WE control signals follow standard SRAM timing conventions. Its 300 ns read access time and self-timed 3 ms write cycle allow direct connection to 8-bit microprocessors without additional glue logic or wait-state generation.
