Product details
Overview
AT28BV64B-20SC from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with battery-voltage operation (2.7V–3.6V), 200 ns read access time, and hardware/software data protection. It supports page write (1–64 bytes), DATA polling, and toggle-bit write completion detection for embedded nonvolatile storage in industrial control and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT28BV64B-20SC datasheet, AT28BV64B-20SC pinout, AT28BV64B-20SC application, or AT28BV64B-20SC equivalent, key selection criteria include JEDEC byte-wide pin compatibility, 20 µA CMOS standby current, 100,000 write endurance, software data protection (SDP) command sequence, and SOIC-28 packaging for commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C).
Technical Context
The AT28BV64B-20SC implements a static RAM-compatible parallel interface with dual-line chip enable (CE) and output enable (OE) control to prevent bus contention. Its internal 64-byte page register latches address and data during page writes, decoupling the host bus for concurrent operations.
Write completion is verified via I/O7 DATA polling (complement-to-true transition) or I/O6 toggle-bit behavior, both usable at any point during tWC (≤10 ms). Software Data Protection requires a three-byte command sequence (AAh→55h→A0h at specific addresses) before each write, preventing corruption during power transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 words × 8 bits); sufficient for firmware patch storage or configuration logging in resource-constrained systems. |
| Read Access Time | 200 ns max; enables direct replacement of SRAM in legacy 8-bit microcontroller interfaces without timing redesign. |
| Page Write Cycle | ≤10 ms; allows burst programming of up to 64 bytes with single command initiation, reducing host CPU overhead. |
| Endurance | 100,000 write/erase cycles; supports field-updatable calibration data in industrial sensors with multi-year service life. |
| Data Retention | 10 years at 85°C; ensures long-term integrity of stored device identifiers or security keys without refresh. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V–3.6V; compatible with single-cell Li-ion or 3.3V logic rails, eliminating level-shifting in portable equipment. |
| Standby Current | 20 µA (CMOS); enables always-on configuration storage in battery-backed systems with minimal drain. |
Pinout & Package
AT28BV64B-20SC is supplied in a 28-lead, 0.300" wide plastic gull-wing small outline (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-013, with 1.27 mm pitch and surface-mount compatibility.
| 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. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface supporting read, byte write, and page write; high-impedance when CE or OE is inactive. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global select; disables outputs and inhibits writes when high, enabling multi-device bus sharing. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; places outputs in high-Z state when high, preventing bus conflicts during writes. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte or page write on falling edge; must be coordinated with CE per AC timing specs. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6V supply with 20 µA standby draw; no separate VPP required for standard operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC Byte-wide Pinout | Ensures drop-in compatibility with legacy 28-pin parallel EEPROMs and SRAMs in existing PCB layouts. |
| Software Data Protection (SDP) | Requires mandatory 3-byte unlock sequence (1555h/0AAAh/1555h/A0h) before each write, eliminating accidental overwrites during power ramp. |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | Automatic 10 ms VCC delay + noise filtering (<15 ns pulses rejected) + CE/OE/WE gating prevents spurious writes. |
| 64-byte Page Register | Latches full page data internally, freeing address/data bus for other tasks while write executes autonomously. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual asynchronous write-complete detection methods (I/O7 complement, I/O6 toggle) eliminate need for fixed delays or external timers. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Configuration Storage | Medical Device Calibration Data |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing I/O mapping tables and alarm thresholds in programmable logic controllers operating in harsh factory environments.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C64B-20SC | 5V-only supply (4.5–5.5V); no battery-voltage operation; identical 64K × 8 organization and SOIC-28 pinout. | Requires 5V rail; unsuitable for 3.3V-only systems but offers higher noise immunity in electrically noisy industrial settings. | Select AT28C64B-20SC only if system already uses 5V logic and board layout cannot accommodate voltage translation. |
| ST M28W640ECB90N1Z | 64 Mbit (8M × 8) capacity; 90 ns access; 3.0–3.6V supply; different pinout (32-pin TSOP) and command set. | Higher density for firmware storage; not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign and firmware driver changes. | Choose ST M28W640ECB90N1Z only when >64K storage is needed and migration effort is justified by feature gain. |
Compared with AT28C64B-20SC, the AT28BV64B-20SC enables direct integration into 3.3V systems without level shifters, while its software data protection provides stronger safeguards against power-related corruption than the AT28C64B's hardware-only protection-critical for battery-powered devices.

FAQ
What is the maximum write cycle time for AT28BV64B-20SC during page write operations?
The AT28BV64B-20SC has a maximum page write cycle time of 10 ms, as specified in the AC characteristics table. This applies to all page writes (1–64 bytes) and is governed by the internal control timer. The device automatically completes the write without host intervention after this period, and completion can be confirmed via DATA polling on I/O7 or toggle-bit monitoring on I/O6.
Does AT28BV64B-20SC require a high-voltage programming signal for normal operation?
No, the AT28BV64B-20SC operates with a single 2.7V–3.6V supply and does not require high-voltage (e.g., 12V) signals for standard read/write operations. Only the optional 64-byte device identification area (7FC0h–7FFFh) requires 12.0V ± 0.5V applied to A9, which is isolated from routine memory access. All main array writes use standard VCC-level signaling.
How does the Software Data Protection (SDP) feature work on AT28BV64B-20SC?
The AT28BV64B-20SC requires a precise three-byte unlock sequence-writing AAh to address 1555h, 55h to address 0AAAh, then A0h to address 1555h-before any byte or page write. This SDP mechanism prevents accidental writes during power-up/down or noise events. Without this sequence, the device ignores data writes but still consumes tWC time, during which reads return polling responses instead of valid data.
What package type and dimensions does AT28BV64B-20SC use?
The AT28BV64B-20SC uses a 28-lead plastic gull-wing small outline (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-013, measuring 17.7–18.1 mm in length, 7.4–7.6 mm in width, and 2.35–2.65 mm in height. It features 1.27 mm lead pitch, 0.300" body width, and surface-mount compatibility with standard reflow profiles for lead-free assembly.
Can AT28BV64B-20SC be used in industrial temperature environments?
Yes, the AT28BV64B-20SC is rated for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C) when ordered with the 'I' suffix (e.g., AT28BV64B-20SI). The 'SC' suffix denotes SOIC packaging but does not specify temperature grade; the full part number determines the operating range. Always verify the complete ordering code (e.g., AT28BV64B-20SI) for industrial qualification.
