Product details
Overview
AT28HC64B-70TU-T from Atmel is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, 70 ns read access time, hardware/software data protection, and page write capability supporting up to 64 bytes per internal cycle - used in industrial control firmware storage and embedded configuration memory.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64B-70TU-T datasheet, AT28HC64B-70TU-T pinout, AT28HC64B-70TU-T application, or AT28HC64B-70TU-T equivalent, key selection criteria include 5 V ±10% single-supply operation, 100 µA CMOS standby current, DATA polling/toggle bit write completion detection, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT28HC64B-70TU-T implements a parallel interface with static RAM-like read/write timing, eliminating external address latches. Its internal 64-byte page register enables burst loading of 1–64 bytes within 150 µs per byte, with automatic internal programming triggered after the last valid load.
Write completion is verified via dual methods: DATA polling on I/O7 (complement-to-data during write, true data on completion) and toggle-bit behavior on I/O6 (toggling until write ends). Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits writes), 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, calibration tables, or device configuration in microcontroller systems |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns maximum - supports high-speed CPU bus interfacing without wait states at ≤14 MHz |
| Page Write Cycle | 10 ms maximum - enables efficient bulk updates while minimizing system blocking time |
| Standby Current | 100 µA CMOS - critical for low-power battery-backed applications and energy-sensitive designs |
| Endurance | 100,000 write/erase cycles - ensures long-term reliability in field-updatable systems |
| Data Retention | 10 years at 85°C - validated for industrial deployments requiring decade-level nonvolatile storage integrity |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5 V logic families and mixed-voltage board architectures |
Pinout & Package
AT28HC64B-70TU-T is packaged in a 28-lead Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP), 8 mm × 13.4 mm body, lead pitch 0.55 mm, compliant with JEDEC MO-183. Pin 1 identifier located at top-left corner with beveled edge marking.
| 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 page writes |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for toggle-bit detection during write cycles |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for read; inhibits all operations when high |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; places I/O pins in high-impedance state when high to prevent bus contention |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte or page write on falling edge; combined with CE for robust write inhibition |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% supply; internal VCC sense disables writes below ~3.8 V to prevent corruption during brown-out |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference; decoupling capacitor required near VCC pin for stable operation |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pins (e.g., TSOP pins 1, 14, 27, 28); must remain unconnected per design specification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Page Write Operation | Internal 64-byte latch allows sequential loading of 1–64 bytes within 150 µs intervals - reduces host CPU overhead vs. individual byte writes |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual asynchronous write-completion detection (I/O7 complement, I/O6 toggle) eliminates need for fixed delays or external timers |
| Software Data Protection (SDP) | User-configurable 3-byte command sequence (AAh/55h/A0h) enables/disables write lock - prevents accidental overwrites during power transitions |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | VCC sensing, 5 ms power-on delay, and 15 ns noise filtering on WE/CE ensure immunity to supply glitches and EMI-induced false writes |
| Device Identification Area | 64-byte reserved region (1FC0h–1FFFh) accessible via 12 V on A9 - supports unique device serialization and traceability |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28HC64B-70JU | Same die, 32-lead PLCC package instead of 28-lead TSOP; larger footprint, different thermal profile and mounting process | Suitable for through-hole or surface-mount PLCC sockets; less space-constrained PCBs where mechanical robustness is prioritized | Select AT28HC64B-70JU only if PLCC socketing or legacy board compatibility is required; not pin-compatible with TSOP layout |
| MN63C256F-70 | 64 Kbit parallel EEPROM with 70 ns access, but lacks software data protection and uses different page write protocol (no 150 µs tBLC constraint) | Used in cost-sensitive consumer electronics where full Atmel-level write protection is not mandated | Choose MN63C256F-70 only for non-critical applications; requires redesign of write-handling logic due to absence of SDP and differing page timing |
Compared with AT28HC64B-70JU, the AT28HC64B-70TU-T offers superior board-area efficiency and thermal performance in thin-profile designs; versus MN63C256F-70, it delivers stronger data integrity assurance via dual hardware/software write protection and deterministic page write timing.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write size supported by the AT28HC64B-70TU-T?
The AT28HC64B-70TU-T supports a maximum page write size of 64 bytes per internal programming cycle. This is enabled by its internal 64-byte page register, which latches addresses and data sequentially within a 150 µs window (tBLC) between successive byte loads. The AT28HC64B-70TU-T requires A6–A12 to remain constant across all byte loads in a single page write operation to ensure correct page targeting.
Does the AT28HC64B-70TU-T require a 12 V supply for normal operation?
No, the AT28HC64B-70TU-T operates solely from a 5 V ±10% supply during standard read and write operations. A 12 V ±0.5 V voltage applied to pin A9 is required only for accessing the 64-byte device identification area (1FC0h–1FFFh); this is an optional feature and not needed for main memory operation. All other functions - including software data protection enable/disable - use only the 5 V supply.
How does hardware write protection work on the AT28HC64B-70TU-T?
The AT28HC64B-70TU-T implements four hardware write protection mechanisms: (1) VCC sense disables writes if supply drops below ~3.8 V; (2) a 5 ms internal timer prevents writes until VCC stabilizes after power-on; (3) write inhibition occurs if OE is low, CE is high, or WE is high; and (4) input noise filtering rejects pulses <15 ns on WE or CE. These features collectively prevent corruption during power transients or EMI events without software intervention.
Can the AT28HC64B-70TU-T be used in place of a standard SRAM in a microcontroller interface?
Yes, the AT28HC64B-70TU-T is designed for SRAM-compatible read/write timing - it behaves like a static RAM during reads and accepts byte/page writes without external latches or timing glue logic. However, write cycles take up to 10 ms (vs. nanosecond SRAM writes), so the host must use DATA polling or toggle-bit detection to determine completion before initiating subsequent accesses. This makes it suitable for configuration storage but not for volatile working memory.
What is the purpose of the extra 64 bytes of EEPROM in the AT28HC64B-70TU-T?
The AT28HC64B-70TU-T includes an additional 64-byte EEPROM segment (addresses 1FC0h–1FFFh) dedicated to device identification and tracking. It is accessed by applying 12 V ±0.5 V to pin A9 while using standard read/write protocols. This area supports unique serialization, manufacturing traceability, or calibration metadata storage - separate from the main 64 Kbit array and protected by the same hardware/software write safeguards.
