Product details
Overview
AT28BV64-30TC 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 is qualified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
For engineers reviewing the AT28BV64-30TC datasheet, AT28BV64-30TC pinout, AT28BV64-30TC application, or AT28BV64-30TC equivalent, key selection considerations include its JEDEC-approved byte-wide interface, low-voltage write enable, VCC-sense write protection, and TSOP-28 packaging for space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
The AT28BV64-30TC implements a static RAM-compatible parallel interface with dual-line chip select (CE/OE) and write enable (WE), enabling bus contention avoidance in multi-device systems. Its internal self-timed write controller clears and reprograms each byte autonomously after address/data latching.
It features two hardware-based write completion detection methods: open-drain RDY/BUSY output for system-level timing coordination and DATA polling on I/O7 for software-driven status checking. Internal error correction enhances endurance to 100,000 cycles and data retention to 10 years.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8) - provides nonvolatile storage for firmware boot code or configuration data in resource-limited controllers |
| Read Access Time | 300 ns - enables direct replacement of SRAM in legacy 8-bit microprocessor buses without wait-state insertion |
| Byte Write Cycle | 3 ms - defines minimum interval between successive byte writes; requires software polling or RDY/BUSY monitoring |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7V to 3.6V - supports single-supply operation from Li-ion or regulated 3.3V rails in portable equipment |
| Standby Current | 50 µA - minimizes quiescent power draw during sleep modes in battery-backed real-time clocks or sensors |
| Endurance | 100,000 write/erase cycles - suitable for infrequent parameter updates such as calibration offsets or user preferences |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - meets industrial-grade environmental requirements for factory automation and metering |
Pinout & Package
AT28BV64-30TC is packaged in a 28-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP), compliant with JEDEC standard MO-153, with 0.55 mm lead pitch and body dimensions 11.8 × 8.0 × 1.2 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus supporting full 8K-word decoding; compatible with Z80, 8051, and 68K family address mapping |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; I/O7 used for DATA polling during write completion detection |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low device select; when high, places outputs in high-impedance state regardless of OE/WE state |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; enables data output only when CE is also low and WE is high |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte latch and internal programming sequence on falling edge |
| RDY/BUSY | Open-Drain Status Output | Pulled low during write; released high at completion; supports wired-OR connection across multiple devices |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7V–3.6V logic supply; includes internal VCC-sense circuitry that inhibits writes below ~1.8V |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of VCC pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| DATA Polling Support | Enables software-driven write completion detection by reading complemented I/O7 until true data appears |
| READY/BUSY Open-Drain Output | Allows hardware synchronization of write operations across multiple EEPROMs without external logic |
| VCC-Sense Write Protection | Prevents inadvertent writes during power-up/down by disabling WE functionality until VCC exceeds 2.0V |
| JEDEC Byte-Wide Pinout | Ensures drop-in compatibility with industry-standard 28-pin parallel EEPROM sockets and PCB footprints |
| Internal Error Correction | Extends effective endurance and improves long-term data integrity in harsh thermal or radiation environments |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone nonvolatile memory interfaced to 8-bit automotive MCU via dedicated address/data bus. Use Value: VCC-sense write protection prevents corruption during ignition transients; industrial temp grade supports under-hood mounting near junction boxes. |
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 operation (4.5V–5.5V); 150 ns access; PDIP-28 package; no RDY/BUSY pin | Requires 5V rail and external busy detection (e.g., timer-based polling); unsuitable for battery-powered 3.3V systems | Select only if legacy 5V design and faster access are prioritized over low-voltage operation and hardware status signaling. |
| M95640-DW DW | Serial SPI interface; 2.5V–5.5V supply; 5 ms write cycle; SO8 package; no parallel bus or RDY/BUSY | Reduces pin count but adds software overhead for serial protocol handling; incompatible with existing parallel address/data bus layouts | Choose when board space is constrained and MCU has SPI peripherals available; not a drop-in replacement for AT28BV64-30TC. |
Compared with AT28BV64-30TC, AT28C64B-15PU offers faster access but lacks low-voltage support and hardware busy signaling, while M95640-DW trades parallel simplicity for serial footprint reduction-neither matches the AT28BV64-30TC's combination of 3.3V operation, TSOP packaging, and dual-status feedback for industrial embedded use.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by AT28BV64-30TC?
The AT28BV64-30TC does not operate at a clock frequency-it is a parallel asynchronous EEPROM. Its timing is defined by access and cycle parameters: tACC = 300 ns (address-to-output delay) and tWC = 3 ms (write cycle time). System timing depends on microprocessor bus speed and proper setup/hold times per AC specifications, not an internal clock.
Does AT28BV64-30TC support page writing or only byte-level writes?
AT28BV64-30TC supports only byte-level writes-not page or block writes. Each write operation programs one 8-bit location, requiring individual address and data setup followed by a full 3 ms internal programming cycle. There is no internal page buffer or accelerated multi-byte write mode.
Can AT28BV64-30TC be used in place of a standard SRAM without hardware changes?
AT28BV64-30TC can emulate SRAM for read operations (same CE/OE/WE timing), but write behavior differs fundamentally: writes require 3 ms and status monitoring via RDY/BUSY or DATA polling. Direct SRAM replacement is unsafe without firmware modifications to handle write latency and completion detection.
What is the purpose of the NC and DC pins on AT28BV64-30TC in TSOP package?
In the TSOP-28 package of AT28BV64-30TC, Pin 5 is labeled NC (No Connect) and must remain unconnected. Pins 14 and 27 are labeled DC (Don't Connect) and are internally unused test pads-these pins must also be left floating and not tied to VCC, GND, or any signal to ensure correct device operation and reliability.
How does the VCC-sense write protection function in AT28BV64-30TC?
AT28BV64-30TC incorporates internal VCC-sense circuitry that disables write functionality when VCC drops below approximately 1.8V. This prevents partial or corrupted writes during power brownouts or battery depletion. Once VCC rises above 2.0V, the device enforces a 10 ms power-on delay before accepting write commands.
