Product details
Overview
AT28HC64B-12JU-T from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, 120 ns max read access time, page write capability (1–64 bytes), and hardware/software data protection. It operates from a single 5 V ±10% supply and supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), commonly used in embedded system configuration storage and firmware parameter retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64B-12JU-T datasheet, AT28HC64B-12JU-T pinout, AT28HC64B-12JU-T application, or AT28HC64B-12JU-T equivalent, key selection criteria include page write timing (10 ms standard), DATA polling/toggle bit for write completion detection, CMOS/TTL compatibility, and PLCC-32 green packaging compliance.
Technical Context
The AT28HC64B-12JU-T implements a parallel interface with dual-line chip enable (CE) and output enable (OE) control, enabling bus contention avoidance in multi-device systems. Its internal 64-byte page register latches address and data during page writes, freeing the bus for concurrent operations.
Write completion is verified via I/O7 DATA polling (complement-to-data behavior) or I/O6 toggle-bit detection-both usable at any point during tWC. Hardware write inhibition includes VCC sense (<3.8 V), 5 ms power-on delay, noise filtering (<15 ns pulses), and CE/OE/WE logic gating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8), organized as byte-addressable nonvolatile storage |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns maximum - defines minimum clock period for synchronous read cycles |
| Page Write Cycle | 10 ms maximum - determines minimum interval between successive page writes |
| Endurance | 100,000 write/erase cycles - specifies guaranteed reprogrammability before wear-out |
| Data Retention | 10 years at 85°C - ensures long-term validity of stored configuration without refresh |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28HC64B-12SU | Same die, SOIC-28 package (vs. PLCC-32); 0.300" body width; no lead bending required | Better suited for surface-mount assembly with standard reflow profiles; lower profile than PLCC | Select when board space or automated assembly constraints favor gull-wing leads over J-leads |
| AT28HC64B-12TU | Same die, TSOP-28 package (8 × 13.4 mm); thinner profile (1.20 mm max height) and finer pitch (0.55 mm) | Optimized for compact consumer electronics; requires tighter layout tolerances for signal integrity | Select when Z-height is constrained and PCB real estate is premium, e.g., handheld devices |
Compared with AT28HC64B-12JU-T, the -12SU offers easier SMT placement and lower cost per unit in high-volume SOIC lines, while the -12TU delivers minimal footprint and height for space-constrained designs-neither is pin-compatible due to differing lead counts and mechanical layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write cycle time for AT28HC64B-12JU-T?
The AT28HC64B-12JU-T has a maximum page write cycle time of 10 ms under standard operation. This value is specified in the AC characteristics table and applies to all page sizes (1–64 bytes). Note that the optional AT28HC64BF variant achieves 2 ms, but AT28HC64B-12JU-T does not support this faster timing.
Does AT28HC64B-12JU-T support both DATA polling and toggle bit for write completion detection?
Yes, AT28HC64B-12JU-T supports both methods. DATA polling monitors I/O7 (complement-to-data behavior), while toggle bit observes I/O6 toggling until write completion. Both functions operate independently and may be used at any time during the write cycle, providing flexibility for different firmware architectures.
Can AT28HC64B-12JU-T be used with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
No-AT28HC64B-12JU-T requires a 5 V ±10% supply and is not 3.3 V tolerant. Its inputs are CMOS/TTL compatible but referenced to VCC = 5 V; applying 3.3 V logic levels risks violating VIH (2.0 V min) and VOL (0.4 V max) specifications. Level-shifting circuitry is required for interfacing with 3.3 V hosts.
How is software data protection enabled on AT28HC64B-12JU-T?
Software data protection (SDP) on AT28HC64B-12JU-T is enabled by writing three specific bytes (0xAA, 0x55, 0xA0) to addresses 0x1555, 0x0AAA, and 0x1555 respectively, followed by a write to any address. Once confirmed, SDP remains active through power cycles until explicitly disabled using the 0xAA/0x55/0x80/0xAA/0x20 sequence.
What is the purpose of the extra 64 bytes in AT28HC64B-12JU-T?
The extra 64 bytes in AT28HC64B-12JU-T are reserved for device identification and are accessed by raising A9 to 12.0 V ±0.5 V and using addresses 0x1FC0–0x1FFF. They support unique serialization, calibration data storage, or manufacturing traceability without consuming main array space.
