Product details
Overview
The AT28BV64B-20SU-T from Microchip Technology (formerly 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 industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It supports 1–64-byte page writes and is used in embedded systems for firmware storage, configuration retention, and calibration data logging where nonvolatile byte-level rewrite capability is required.
For engineers reviewing the AT28BV64B-20SU-T datasheet, AT28BV64B-20SU-T pinout, AT28BV64B-20SU-T application, or AT28BV64B-20SU-T equivalent, key selection considerations include JEDEC-standard byte-wide parallel interface compatibility, DATA polling and toggle-bit write completion detection, software data protection (SDP) command sequence requirement, and SOIC-28 green packaging with 200 ns timing.
Technical Context
The AT28BV64B-20SU-T operates as a static RAM-compatible parallel EEPROM: reads require CE and OE low with WE high; writes initiate on WE or CE low pulse with OE high. Its internal 64-byte page register latches address and data, enabling burst writes without bus hold.
Write completion is verified via I/O7 DATA polling (complement-to-data during write, true data after completion) or I/O6 toggle-bit behavior. Software Data Protection mandates a three-byte command sequence (0xAA→0x55→0xA0 at addresses 0x1555/0x0AAA/0x1555) before each write operation - no data is written during this sequence.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8 bits); supports byte- and page-level erase/write without block erasure. |
| Read Access Time | 200 ns max; enables direct replacement of SRAM in legacy 8-bit microcontroller systems with no wait-state insertion. |
| Page Write Cycle | 10 ms max; allows up to 64 bytes to be committed atomically, reducing host CPU overhead vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V–3.6V; compatible with 3.3V logic systems and battery-backed operation without level shifting. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 write cycles / 10-year data retention; validated for long-life industrial control and metering applications. |
| Standby Current | 20 µA typical CMOS standby; minimizes power draw in always-on embedded devices during idle periods. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
AT28BV64B-20SU-T is supplied in a 28-lead, 0.300" wide plastic gull-wing small outline (SOIC) package per JEDEC MS-013, with lead finish RoHS-compliant and halide-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus; selects one of 8,192 memory locations (A12–A0). |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; carries data during read (output) or write (input) cycles. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; device responds only when CE is low (with OE/WE conditions met). |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; places I/O pins in high-impedance state when high, preventing bus contention. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte or page write when low with CE low and OE high. |
| GND / VCC | Power Terminals | Ground reference and 2.7–3.6V supply; decoupling capacitor required near VCC pin for noise immunity. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1 and 17 are unconnected; must remain floating - no external connection permitted. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC Byte-wide Pinout | Direct drop-in compatibility with industry-standard 28-pin parallel EEPROM sockets and legacy SRAM-based designs. |
| Software Data Protection (SDP) | Three-step unlock sequence prevents accidental writes during power-up/down or EMI events - no external hardware lock needed. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual asynchronous write-complete detection (I/O7 complement, I/O6 toggle) eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware. |
| 64-byte Page Register | Reduces host-side write transaction count by up to 64× versus byte writes, improving system throughput and reducing bus arbitration overhead. |
| Device Identification Area | 64 extra bytes accessible via A9 = 12V; usable for unique serialization, calibration coefficients, or manufacturing traceability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microchip AT28C64B-15PU | 5V-only supply (4.5–5.5V); 150 ns access; no software data protection; 28-pin PDIP package. | Requires 5V rail; lacks SDP and low-voltage operation; suited for legacy 5V industrial boards only. | Select only if system uses 5V logic and cannot accommodate voltage translation or SDP workflow. |
| ON Semiconductor CAT28C64B-20LE | 2.7–5.5V supply; 200 ns access; hardware-only protection (WP pin); 28-pin SOIC package. | Supports wider voltage range but lacks software data protection; WP pin requires external pull-up control. | Choose when design needs dual-voltage flexibility and prefers hardware write-protection over command-based security. |
Compared with AT28C64B-15PU and CAT28C64B-20LE, the AT28BV64B-20SU-T uniquely combines 2.7–3.6V operation, integrated software data protection, and JEDEC-standard SOIC-28 footprint - making it optimal for new 3.3V embedded designs requiring robust, battery-voltage nonvolatile storage without external protection circuitry.

FAQ
What is the required software data protection (SDP) sequence for AT28BV64B-20SU-T?
The AT28BV64B-20SU-T requires a precise three-byte unlock sequence before any write: write 0xAA to address 0x1555, then 0x55 to address 0x0AAA, then 0xA0 to address 0x1555. This sequence must be repeated before every byte or page write operation. The AT28BV64B-20SU-T ignores data written during the unlock phase - only subsequent writes are committed to memory.
Does AT28BV64B-20SU-T support true 3.3V-only operation without 5V or 12V rails?
Yes, the AT28BV64B-20SU-T operates fully within 2.7V–3.6V and requires no auxiliary voltages for normal read/write functions. The 12V on A9 is strictly optional and only needed for accessing the 64-byte device identification area - standard memory operations use only VCC, GND, and logic-level signals. The AT28BV64B-20SU-T is certified for industrial temperature range under these conditions.
How does write completion detection work on AT28BV64B-20SU-T?
The AT28BV64B-20SU-T provides two independent methods: DATA polling monitors I/O7 - it outputs the complement of the last written byte until completion, then true data. Toggle bit monitors I/O6 - it toggles between 0 and 1 during write, then stabilizes to valid data. Both methods allow the host to poll asynchronously without fixed delays. The AT28BV64B-20SU-T guarantees detection within the 10 ms max write cycle time.
Can AT28BV64B-20SU-T replace a standard SRAM in an existing design?
Yes - the AT28BV64B-20SU-T uses identical JEDEC byte-wide pinout and behaves like SRAM during reads (CE/OE low, WE high). However, writes require the SDP unlock sequence and generate longer write cycles (10 ms page vs. nanosecond SRAM writes). The AT28BV64B-20SU-T is ideal for replacing SRAM where nonvolatility is added without board layout changes, provided firmware handles write sequencing.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on AT28BV64B-20SU-T?
Pins 1 and 17 on the AT28BV64B-20SU-T SOIC package are designated No Connect (NC) and must remain unconnected - they serve no internal function and are not bonded. Connecting them risks latch-up or undefined behavior. The AT28BV64B-20SU-T datasheet explicitly prohibits routing traces or applying voltage to these pins, and they are excluded from all timing and electrical specifications.
