Product details
Overview
The AT28BV64B-20TU from Atmel is a 64K-bit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with battery-voltage operation (2.7V–3.6V), 200ns read access time, 10 ms max page write cycle, hardware/software data protection, and JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout. It supports 1–64-byte page writes and operates across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in a 28-lead TSOP package.
For engineers reviewing the AT28BV64B-20TU datasheet, AT28BV64B-20TU pinout, AT28BV64B-20TU application, or AT28BV64B-20TU equivalent, key selection criteria include its CMOS standby current (≤20 µA), DATA polling/toggle bit write completion detection, software data protection command sequence, and compatibility with static RAM-like interface timing.
Technical Context
The AT28BV64B-20TU implements a parallel EEPROM architecture with internal 64-byte page latches and an autonomous control timer for self-timed page writes. Its dual-line chip enable (CE) and output enable (OE) logic enables bus contention avoidance during mixed read/write operations.
Write operations require a three-byte software data protection (SDP) command sequence (0xAA→0x55→0xA0 at addresses 0x5555→0x2AAA→0x5555) before any byte or page write. Data integrity is reinforced by hardware features including VCC power-on delay (~10 ms), noise filtering on WE/CE (<15 ns pulse rejection), and write inhibit via OE high/CE high/WE high states.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the AT28BV64B-20TU?
The AT28BV64B-20TU operates from 2.7V to 3.6V. This single-supply battery-voltage range eliminates the need for separate 5V rails or level shifters in modern 3.3V embedded systems. The device incorporates internal power-on delay circuitry that inhibits writes until VCC stabilizes above 1.8V, preventing corruption during power-up transients. All DC and AC specifications in the datasheet are guaranteed across this full voltage range.
How does software data protection work on the AT28BV64B-20TU?
The AT28BV64B-20TU requires a precise three-byte unlock sequence-writing 0xAA to address 0x5555, then 0x55 to 0x2AAA, then 0xA0 to 0x5555-before any write operation. This sequence must be repeated before every byte or page write. The AT28BV64B-20TU ignores data written without this sequence but still initiates internal timing, so reads during that period serve as polling. This mechanism prevents accidental writes during power fluctuations or firmware errors.
Can the AT28BV64B-20TU be used as a direct replacement for standard SRAM in existing designs?
The AT28BV64B-20TU uses a JEDEC-approved byte-wide pinout and behaves like static RAM during reads, making it compatible with many SRAM-based bus interfaces. However, write operations require the software data protection sequence and generate longer write cycles (up to 10 ms), so timing-critical SRAM write paths must be modified. The AT28BV64B-20TU is not a drop-in SRAM replacement but serves as a nonvolatile upgrade where data persistence is required.
What are the two methods to detect write completion on the AT28BV64B-20TU?
The AT28BV64B-20TU provides DATA polling (monitoring I/O7 for complemented data) and toggle bit detection (observing I/O6 toggling state) to signal write completion. Both methods operate asynchronously and can be initiated at any time during the write cycle. Once I/O7 returns true data or I/O6 stops toggling, the AT28BV64B-20TU is ready for the next access. These eliminate fixed delays and improve system responsiveness compared to timeout-based approaches.
Does the AT28BV64B-20TU include additional memory for device identification?
Yes, the AT28BV64B-20TU includes an extra 64 bytes of EEPROM accessible via A9 = 12V ± 0.5V and addresses 0x0000–0x003F. This dedicated area supports unique device serialization, manufacturing traceability, or calibration metadata storage independent of main memory. Standard read/write protocols apply, but the 12V programming voltage requirement mandates a dedicated charge pump or external HV source-unlike the main array which operates at VCC only.
