Product details
Overview
AT28BV64B-20SI 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. Used in industrial control modules for nonvolatile parameter storage requiring reliable reprogramming under varying supply conditions.
For engineers reviewing the AT28BV64B-20SI datasheet, AT28BV64B-20SI pinout, AT28BV64B-20SI application, or AT28BV64B-20SI equivalent, key selection considerations include JEDEC byte-wide parallel interface compatibility, 100,000-cycle endurance, 10-year data retention, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and green (Pb/halide-free) SOIC packaging.
Technical Context
The AT28BV64B-20SI operates as a drop-in static RAM-compatible parallel EEPROM: CE/OE/WE control enables bus-friendly read/write without external timing logic. Its internal 64-byte page register latches address and data during page writes, freeing the bus for concurrent operations.
Write completion is verified via dual methods-DATA polling on I/O7 (complement-to-data during write, true data after completion) and toggle-bit monitoring on I/O6-enabling flexible host-side timing management. Software Data Protection requires a mandatory 3-byte command sequence (AAh/55h/A0h at specific addresses) before each write, preventing corruption during power transitions.

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 Kbit, 250 ns access, 3.3V-only (3.0–3.6V), no software data protection | Lacks SDP and 2.7V operation; requires tighter supply regulation | Choose when only 3.3V supply is available and hardware-only protection suffices |
| ON Semiconductor CAT28C64B | 64 Kbit, 200 ns access, 4.5–5.5V supply, no page write or DATA polling | Requires 5V system; limited to byte-write only; no built-in write completion signaling | Choose for legacy 5V designs where page write efficiency and polling are not required |
Compared with ST M28W640ECT and CAT28C64B, the AT28BV64B-20SI uniquely combines 2.7–3.6V operation, JEDEC-compliant pinout, page write capability, and dual write-detection methods-making it optimal for modern low-voltage industrial and medical systems requiring robust, flexible nonvolatile storage.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write size supported by the AT28BV64B-20SI?
The AT28BV64B-20SI supports page write operations of 1 to 64 bytes per cycle. The internal 64-byte page register allows simultaneous latching of up to 64 bytes, with all written bytes required to reside on the same page (defined by A6–A12). This enables efficient bulk updates without repeated command overhead. Each byte must be loaded within 100 µs of the prior byte to maintain page mode operation.
Does the AT28BV64B-20SI require external circuitry for write protection?
No, the AT28BV64B-20SI integrates both hardware- and software-based write protection. Hardware protection includes VCC power-on delay, noise filtering on WE/CE inputs, and write inhibit via OE/CE/WE logic levels. Software Data Protection (SDP) mandates a three-byte unlock sequence (AAh/55h/A0h) before any write-eliminating need for external lock bits or discrete protection circuitry.
Can the AT28BV64B-20SI be used in a 5V system?
No, the AT28BV64B-20SI is specified only for 2.7V to 3.6V operation. Applying 5V to VCC exceeds absolute maximum ratings and will damage the device. For 5V systems, consider alternatives like the CAT28C64B. Level-shifting is not recommended due to timing and signal integrity risks with the parallel interface.
How is write completion detected on the AT28BV64B-20SI?
Write completion on the AT28BV64B-20SI is detected using two independent methods: DATA polling on I/O7 (returns complement of written data during write, true data afterward) and toggle-bit monitoring on I/O6 (toggles between 0/1 until completion, then stabilizes). Both methods allow host firmware to poll asynchronously without fixed delays, improving system responsiveness and reliability.
What is the purpose of the additional 64-byte memory area in the AT28BV64B-20SI?
AT28BV64B-20SI includes an extra 64-byte EEPROM region (addresses 7FC0H–7FFFH) accessible by raising A9 to 12V ±0.5V. This area is intended for device-specific data such as serial numbers, calibration constants, manufacturing date codes, or security keys-separate from main memory to prevent accidental overwrites during routine configuration updates.
