Product details
Overview
AT28HC64B-70JI from Atmel is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with 70 ns read access time, JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports hardware/software data protection, 64-byte page write, DATA polling, and toggle-bit write completion detection. Used in embedded systems for firmware storage, configuration retention, and calibration data logging.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64B-70JI datasheet, AT28HC64B-70JI pinout, AT28HC64B-70JI application, or AT28HC64B-70JI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 70 ns access time, 10 ms page write cycle, CMOS/TTL compatibility, 5 V ±10% supply, and dual write-detection methods (I/O7 polling & I/O6 toggle).
Technical Context
The AT28HC64B-70JI operates as a parallel-access nonvolatile memory with static RAM-like read/write interface-no external timing components required. Its internal 64-byte page register latches address and data during page writes, freeing the bus for concurrent operations while an internal timer manages programming.
Write completion is verified via two independent mechanisms: DATA polling on I/O7 (complement-to-data during write, true data after completion) and toggle-bit behavior on I/O6 (toggling until write ends). Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibit), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on WE/CE inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8), sufficient for boot code, device ID, or parameter tables in microcontroller-based systems |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns maximum - enables direct interfacing with 10–14 MHz microcontrollers without wait states |
| Page Write Cycle | 10 ms maximum - allows burst programming of up to 64 bytes per operation, reducing host CPU overhead |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5 V logic families and mixed-voltage system backplanes |
| Standby Current | 100 µA CMOS - supports low-power modes in battery-backed or energy-constrained applications |
| Endurance | 100,000 write/erase cycles - suitable for field-updatable firmware or frequently modified configuration registers |
| Data Retention | 10 years at 85°C - ensures long-term reliability in industrial control and automotive under-hood modules |
Pinout & Package
AT28HC64B-70JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with gull-wing leads, compliant with JEDEC MS-016 (Variation AE), and rated for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus selecting one of 8,192 memory locations; A6–A12 define page boundaries for 64-byte writes |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read/write; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for toggle-bit write status |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for read; low with OE high and WE low for write |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; disables outputs (high-Z) when high, preventing bus contention during writes |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge latches address/data; rising edge initiates internal programming |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; VCC sense circuitry inhibits writes below ~3.8 V |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; decoupling capacitor required near VCC pin for stable operation |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1 and 17 are unconnected - must remain floating per PLCC package specification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC Byte-Wide Pinout | Direct drop-in replacement for SRAM and older EPROMs in existing 28-pin or 32-pin sockets, minimizing PCB redesign |

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), 120 ns access, 3.3 V core with 5 V I/O tolerance; no software data protection | Higher density for larger boot images; lacks SDP and toggle-bit detection | Choose when migrating to 3.3 V systems and needing greater capacity, but accept reduced write-safety features |
| Microchip 25LC640A-I/P | 64 Kbit SPI EEPROM, 5 MHz interface, 5 ms write cycle, 2.5–5.5 V supply; no parallel bus or page write | Reduced pin count (8-pin PDIP), lower power, but serial interface adds MCU overhead | Prefer for space-constrained designs where board area or wiring complexity outweighs parallel-speed advantage |
Compared with ST M28W640ECT and Microchip 25LC640A-I/P, the AT28HC64B-70JI uniquely balances 70 ns parallel access, integrated software/hardware write protection, and JEDEC-compatible pinout - making it optimal for legacy 5 V embedded systems requiring field-upgradable, tamper-resistant configuration storage without architecture change.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write cycle time for AT28HC64B-70JI?
The AT28HC64B-70JI has a maximum page write cycle time of 10 ms under standard conditions. This value is specified in the AC Write Characteristics table and applies to all 1–64 byte writes within a single page. The faster 2 ms option requires the AT28HC64BF variant, not the AT28HC64B-70JI.
Does AT28HC64B-70JI support both hardware and software data protection?
Yes, AT28HC64B-70JI implements dual-layer protection: hardware features include VCC sensing (<3.8 V inhibit), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on WE/CE inputs; software data protection (SDP) is user-enabled via a three-byte command sequence to addresses 1555H, 0AAAH, and 1555H - and remains active through power cycles.
Which package type does AT28HC64B-70JI use?
AT28HC64B-70JI uses a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as "32J" in Atmel's ordering information. It conforms to JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE, with pins 1 and 17 designated as No Connect (NC).
Can AT28HC64B-70JI be used in place of standard SRAM for read operations?
Yes, AT28HC64B-70JI is accessed like Static RAM during reads: with CE and OE low and WE high, valid data appears on I/O0–I/O7 within 70 ns. Its TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs and outputs allow direct connection to 8-bit microcontrollers without level-shifting or glue logic.
How is write completion detected on AT28HC64B-70JI?
AT28HC64B-70JI provides two independent methods: DATA polling monitors I/O7 (complement of written data during write, true data after completion), and the toggle bit monitors I/O6 (toggles between 0/1 until write ends, then stabilizes). Both can be polled at any time during the write cycle.
