Product details
Overview
The AT28BV64B-20SU from Atmel is a 64K-bit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with battery-voltage operation (2.7V–3.6V), 200 ns read access time, 10 ms maximum page write cycle, hardware/software data protection, and JEDEC-approved byte-wide pinout in a 28-lead SOIC package. It supports automatic 1–64 byte page writes and operates across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) for embedded system configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT28BV64B-20SU datasheet, AT28BV64B-20SU pinout, AT28BV64B-20SU application, or AT28BV64B-20SU equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200 ns read timing, 10 ms page write performance, CMOS standby current <20 µA, software data protection command sequence, and compatibility with static RAM-like bus interface without external timing logic.
Technical Context
The AT28BV64B-20SU implements a parallel EEPROM architecture with internal 64-byte page register and autonomous write control timer. Its dual-line chip enable (CE) and output enable (OE) logic enables bus contention avoidance, while DATA polling on I/O7 and toggle bit detection on I/O6 provide deterministic end-of-write signaling.
Software Data Protection requires a three-byte command sequence (0xAA→0x55→0xA0 at addresses 0x1555/0x0AAA/0x1555) before each write operation. The device also includes 64 bytes of dedicated identification memory accessible via A9 = 12 V, and supports both WE- and CE-controlled write modes per JEDEC-standard timing waveforms.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microchip 28C64C-20/P | 5V-only operation (4.5–5.5 V); no software data protection; 250 ns access time | Limited to 5 V systems; lacks SDP and fast page write; higher active current (25 mA) | Select only if legacy 5 V design mandates voltage compatibility and write security is handled externally |
| ON Semiconductor CAT28C64B-20TE13 | Same 2.7–3.6 V range and 200 ns timing; identical JEDEC pinout; no device ID memory | Matches AT28BV64B-20SU electrical and mechanical specs but omits 64-byte ID area and 12 V A9 programming | Drop-in alternative where device identification functionality is not required |
Compared with Microchip 28C64C-20/P and ON Semiconductor CAT28C64B-20TE13, the AT28BV64B-20SU uniquely combines battery-voltage operation, software data protection, and integrated device ID memory-making it optimal for secure, low-power, field-upgradable embedded systems requiring guaranteed write integrity.

FAQ
What is the correct software data protection (SDP) sequence for AT28BV64B-20SU?
The AT28BV64B-20SU requires a precise three-byte SDP command sequence before any write: first write 0xAA to address 0x1555, then 0x55 to address 0x0AAA, then 0xA0 to address 0x1555. Only after this sequence is completed will subsequent byte or page writes be accepted. The AT28BV64B-20SU ignores writes without this sequence and enters polling mode instead of programming.
Does AT28BV64B-20SU support true 3.3 V operation without level shifting?
Yes, the AT28BV64B-20SU operates natively across 2.7 V to 3.6 V, making it fully compatible with standard 3.3 V logic families without level translation. Its VIH threshold is 2.0 V minimum and VIL is 0.6 V maximum, ensuring robust interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. The AT28BV64B-20SU draws only 15 mA active current at 3.3 V, minimizing power supply loading.
How does page write work on AT28BV64B-20SU, and what is the maximum page size?
The AT28BV64B-20SU supports page writes of 1 to 64 bytes within the same 64-byte boundary defined by address bits A6–A12. Each byte must be loaded within 100 µs of the prior one (tBLC); exceeding this window triggers internal programming. The AT28BV64B-20SU uses an internal latch and timer to complete the entire page write autonomously in ≤10 ms, freeing the bus for other operations during programming.
Can AT28BV64B-20SU be used as a direct replacement for older 28C64B EPROMs?
No - the AT28BV64B-20SU is an EEPROM, not an EPROM, and requires no UV erasure or programming voltage beyond VCC. While it shares JEDEC byte-wide pinout and 8K×8 organization with 28C64B, it differs electrically: AT28BV64B-20SU uses 2.7–3.6 V (not 5 V), has software data protection, and supports page writes. Direct substitution requires verifying voltage compatibility and updating write routines for SDP and polling.
What is the purpose of the 64-byte device identification area in AT28BV64B-20SU?
The AT28BV64B-20SU includes 64 bytes of dedicated EEPROM space (addresses 0x0000–0x003F) accessible only when A9 is raised to 12.0 V ± 0.5 V. This area stores unique device identifiers, calibration data, or manufacturing traceability information independent of main memory. The AT28BV64B-20SU retains this data for 10 years and supports 100,000 write cycles, enabling secure, field-programmable device tagging.
