Product details
Overview
AT28BV64B-20TC 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 brownout conditions.
For engineers reviewing the AT28BV64B-20TC datasheet, AT28BV64B-20TC pinout, AT28BV64B-20TC application, or AT28BV64B-20TC equivalent, key selection criteria include JEDEC byte-wide pin compatibility, 100,000 write endurance, 10-year data retention, CMOS standby current ≤20 µA, and software data protection (SDP) command sequence compliance.
Technical Context
The AT28BV64B-20TC 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 addresses and data during page writes, decoupling the host bus after initiation.
Write completion is verified via I/O7 DATA polling (complement-to-data behavior) or I/O6 toggle-bit monitoring-both usable at any point during tWC (≤10 ms). Software Data Protection requires a mandatory three-byte command sequence (AAh→55h→A0h) to enable each write cycle, preventing corruption during power transitions.
Key Specifications

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), 12V VPP required for write; no software data protection; 150 ns access | Higher density but requires external high-voltage circuitry; lacks SDP and page write | Select only if higher capacity and faster access outweigh added complexity and missing protection features |
| ON Semiconductor CAT28C64B | 64 Kbit, 5V-only supply (4.5–5.5V); no page write; 250 ns access; hardware write protect only | Legacy 5V system fit; incompatible voltage domain; slower and less flexible write architecture | Choose only for drop-in replacement in existing 5V designs where SDP and page write are unused |
Compared with ST M28W640ECT and CAT28C64B, the AT28BV64B-20TC delivers superior system-level robustness via integrated software data protection, true page write, and single 3.3V supply operation-reducing BOM count and improving field reliability in modern embedded platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum write cycle time for AT28BV64B-20TC during page write operations?
The AT28BV64B-20TC has a maximum page write cycle time of 10 ms, as specified in the AC characteristics table. This applies to all page write operations (1–64 bytes) and is guaranteed across the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). The internal control timer manages this duration autonomously once the write sequence is initiated, freeing the host bus for other tasks.
Does AT28BV64B-20TC require external high-voltage circuitry for programming?
No, the AT28BV64B-20TC operates with a single 2.7V–3.6V supply and does not require external VPP voltage for standard byte or page writes. Only the optional 64-byte device identification area (7FC0h–7FFFh) requires 12.0V ± 0.5V applied to A9 - all main array writes function fully within the core VCC range.
How does the Software Data Protection (SDP) feature work on AT28BV64B-20TC?
The AT28BV64B-20TC requires a precise three-byte unlock sequence (AAh to address 1555h, 55h to address 0AAAh, then A0h to address 1555h) before any write operation. This SDP mechanism prevents accidental writes during power transitions. Without this sequence, the device ignores data writes and enters a polling state for tWC duration, ensuring data integrity.
Is AT28BV64B-20TC pin-compatible with other 28-pin parallel EEPROMs?
Yes, the AT28BV64B-20TC uses a JEDEC-approved byte-wide pinout and is pin-compatible with industry-standard 28-pin parallel EEPROMs such as the AT28C64B and Xicor X28C64. Pin functions (A0–A12, I/O0–I/O7, CE, OE, WE, VCC, GND) match the JEDEC MO-183 TSOP footprint, enabling direct PCB substitution in many legacy designs.
What is the purpose of the extra 64 bytes of EEPROM in AT28BV64B-20TC?
The AT28BV64B-20TC includes an additional 64-byte memory block (7FC0h–7FFFh) accessible only when A9 is raised to 12.0V ± 0.5V. This area is intended for permanent device identification, firmware version stamping, or secure calibration data that must remain isolated from routine configuration updates in the main array.
