Product details
Overview
AT28BV64B-20PI from Atmel is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with battery-voltage operation (2.7V–3.6V), 200 ns read access time, JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, and integrated software data protection. It supports page write (1–64 bytes), DATA polling, and toggle-bit write completion detection for embedded control and configuration storage in industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AT28BV64B-20PI datasheet, AT28BV64B-20PI pinout, AT28BV64B-20PI application, or AT28BV64B-20PI equivalent, key selection considerations include its 20 µA CMOS standby current, 10 ms max page write cycle, 100,000 write endurance, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and PDIP-28 package compatibility with legacy SRAM-style memory interfaces.
Technical Context
The AT28BV64B-20PI operates as a drop-in parallel memory replacement for static RAM in read/write cycles without external timing logic. Its internal 64-byte page register latches addresses and data during page writes, freeing the bus for concurrent operations while an internal control timer manages programming.
Write completion is verified via dual methods: DATA polling on I/O7 (complement-to-data during write, true data after completion) and toggle-bit behavior on I/O6. Hardware protection includes VCC power-on delay (~10 ms), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and CE/OE/WE inhibit logic; software protection requires a three-byte command sequence (0xAA, 0x55, 0xA0) before each write.

Pinout & Package
AT28BV64B-20PI is supplied in a 28-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 0.600" wide, with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout and no internal pull-ups. Pin functions are electrically defined per DC/AC specifications and support direct connection to 8-bit data buses.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus selecting one of 8,192 memory locations; A6–A12 define page boundaries for 64-byte writes. |

| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for read/write; high disables outputs and forces standby mode. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to manage bus contention; high disables outputs to high-impedance state. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge latches address/data; controls byte vs. page write initiation timing. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1 and 28 are unconnected; must remain floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines - not usable as address/data lines. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6V supply; decoupling capacitor required near VCC pin to maintain stable write/read margins. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST M28W640ECT | 64 Mbit (8M × 8), 70 ns access, 3.3V only, no software data protection | Higher density but lacks SDP and page-write flexibility; requires tighter timing margins | Choose for high-speed, high-density logging where write protection is handled externally |
| Microchip 28C64B-25/P | 64 Kbit, 250 ns access, 5V-only supply, hardware-only write protect (WP pin) | Legacy 5V system compatibility; no page write or DATA polling; slower access limits MCU clock speed | Choose for cost-sensitive 5V designs where software protection is unnecessary and timing budget permits |

FAQ
What is the maximum page write size supported by the AT28BV64B-20PI?
The AT28BV64B-20PI supports page write operations of 1 to 64 bytes per internal programming cycle. The page boundary is defined by address bits A6–A12; all bytes written in a single page operation must reside within the same 64-byte page. This capability is implemented via an internal 64-byte latch that accepts sequential data within 100 µs intervals before initiating automatic programming - significantly reducing host processor overhead compared to byte-wise writes. The AT28BV64B-20PI's page write function is fully documented in Section 4.3 of its datasheet.
Does the AT28BV64B-20PI require external circuitry for write protection?
No, the AT28BV64B-20PI integrates both hardware and software data protection mechanisms. Hardware protection includes VCC power-on delay (~10 ms), noise filtering on WE/CE inputs (<15 ns pulses ignored), and standard enable-pin inhibition (holding CE high, OE low, or WE high blocks writes). Software data protection (SDP) requires a mandatory three-byte unlock sequence (0xAA to address 0x5555, 0x55 to address 0x2AAA, then 0xA0 to address 0x5555) before any write - preventing inadvertent writes during power-up, brown-out, or ESD events. This dual-layer scheme eliminates need for external WP pins or discrete logic. The AT28BV64B-20PI implements this per Section 4.6 of its official specification.
Can the AT28BV64B-20PI operate reliably at 2.7V supply voltage?
Yes, the AT28BV64B-20PI is fully specified for operation across 2.7V to 3.6V. At 2.7V, it maintains 200 ns read access time, 10 ms maximum page write cycle, and 20 µA CMOS standby current - meeting all AC/DC parametric limits in the datasheet. Its advanced nonvolatile CMOS process ensures stable charge retention and programming margin down to the minimum supply, making it suitable for battery-powered or energy-harvesting systems where voltage may dip near 2.7V during peak load. The AT28BV64B-20PI's 2.7V operation is validated per Section 5 and Table 9 of its official documentation.
How is write completion detected on the AT28BV64B-20PI?
Write completion on the AT28BV64B-20PI is detected using two independent, asynchronous methods: DATA polling on I/O7 and toggle-bit monitoring on I/O6. During a write, reading the last written byte returns the complement of the data on I/O7; when true data appears, the write is complete. Simultaneously, I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 on successive reads until completion, then stabilizes. Both methods allow real-time status checking without fixed delays or external timers. These features are implemented in silicon and require no additional components. The AT28BV64B-20PI's DATA polling and toggle-bit behavior are detailed in Sections 4.4 and 4.5 of its datasheet.
What package type is used for the AT28BV64B-20PI?
The AT28BV64B-20PI uses a 28-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 0.600" wide, with JEDEC-standard pinout (MS-011, Variation AB). This through-hole package features 0.100" lead pitch, 0.356–0.559 mm lead thickness, and 36.7–37.3 mm body length - ensuring compatibility with legacy PCB footprints and wave-solder processes. Pin 1 is marked by a notch, and pins 1 and 28 are NC (no connect). The AT28BV64B-20PI's PDIP mechanical dimensions are fully specified in Section 25.2 of its official datasheet.
