Product details
Overview
AT28HC64B-90JI from Atmel is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, 90 ns read access time, single 5 V ±10% supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports hardware/software data protection, DATA polling and toggle-bit write completion detection, and 1–64-byte page writes for embedded system configuration storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64B-90JI datasheet, AT28HC64B-90JI pinout, AT28HC64B-90JI application, or AT28HC64B-90JI equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 90 ns tACC timing, CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O, 100 µA standby current, JEDEC-compliant 28-pin SOIC (SOIC-28) package, and software data protection enable/disable command sequences.
Technical Context
The AT28HC64B-90JI operates as a drop-in SRAM-compatible nonvolatile memory: reads require CE and OE low with WE high; writes initiate on WE or CE falling edge with OE high. Its internal 64-byte page register latches address and data during page write, freeing the bus for concurrent operations.
Write completion is confirmed via dual methods: DATA polling (I/O7 complement → true data transition) and toggle-bit detection (I/O6 toggling ceases post-write). Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits write), 5 ms power-on delay, noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and CE/OE/WE logic-level inhibition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8 bits); sufficient for firmware boot code, calibration tables, or device configuration in microcontroller-based systems. |
| Read Access Time (tACC) | 90 ns maximum; enables direct replacement of fast SRAM in legacy 8-bit bus architectures without timing redesign. |
| Page Write Cycle Time | 10 ms maximum (standard); allows efficient bulk updates of up to 64 bytes per write cycle, reducing host CPU overhead vs. byte-by-byte writes. |
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10%; eliminates need for dedicated voltage regulators in 5 V logic systems, simplifying power design. |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 100 µA maximum at CMOS levels; critical for low-power battery-backed applications such as metering or sensor nodes. |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 write/erase cycles and 10-year data retention; validated for long-life industrial control and automotive body electronics. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for deployment in harsh industrial environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
AT28HC64B-90JI is packaged in a 28-lead, 0.300" wide plastic gull-wing small outline (SOIC-28) per JEDEC MS-013, with pin 1 marked by notch or bevel. Pin functions are electrically identical across PDIP, PLCC, and TSOP variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus (0–8191) selecting one of 8K bytes; A6–A12 define page boundaries for 64-byte page writes. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8051, Z80, and 68K families; supports true read/write without external transceivers. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; when high, forces outputs to high-impedance and inhibits all writes - essential for bus arbitration. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to prevent bus contention during multi-device reads. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge latches address/data; must be high during reads to avoid unintended writes. |
| GND / VCC | Power Terminals | Single 5 V supply with decoupling required within 1 cm; no separate VPP or programming voltage needed. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC Byte-wide Pinout | Direct compatibility with legacy 8-bit microprocessor buses (e.g., 8085, 6800), eliminating adapter logic or PCB redesign. |
| Software Data Protection (SDP) | User-enabled/disabled via 3-byte command sequence (AAh/55h/A0h for enable); prevents accidental writes during power transitions without hardware mods. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time write status feedback via I/O7 or I/O6 - removes need for fixed delays or external timers in host firmware. |
| 64-byte Page Write | Reduces write latency by >98% vs. 64 individual byte writes; internal latching frees address/data bus for other tasks during programming. |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | VCC sense, 5 ms power-up delay, and noise filtering ensure zero inadvertent writes during brown-out or EMI events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST M28W640ECB90N6 | 64 Mbit (8M × 8), 90 ns, 3.3 V core with 5 V tolerant I/O; larger density but incompatible voltage domain. | Requires level-shifting in 5 V systems; suited for newer designs migrating to 3.3 V logic. | Select only if upgrading to higher density and redesigning power architecture. |
| Microchip 28C64B-25/P | 64 Kbit, 250 ns access, PDIP-28 package; no page write, no software protection, higher 5 mA standby current. | Limited to cost-sensitive, low-speed applications where write efficiency and security are not critical. | Choose only for legacy board replacements where timing margin exists and SDP is unnecessary. |

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for the AT28HC64B-90JI?
The AT28HC64B-90JI has a guaranteed maximum read access time (tACC) of 90 ns under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +85°C) and 5 V ±10% supply. This value is measured from address valid to valid data on I/O0–I/O7 and is fully characterized per the official Atmel datasheet revision 0274K–PEEPR–8/08. The AT28HC64B-90JI meets this specification in its SOIC-28 package without derating.
Does the AT28HC64B-90JI require an external programming voltage (VPP) for write operations?
No, the AT28HC64B-90JI does not require an external VPP voltage. All write operations - including byte and page writes - are performed using only the standard 5 V ±10% VCC supply. Internal charge pumps generate necessary high-voltage programming signals, eliminating the need for external VPP circuitry or dedicated programming hardware. This simplifies system design and reduces BOM cost for the AT28HC64B-90JI.
How is software data protection (SDP) enabled and disabled on the AT28HC64B-90JI?
SDP is enabled on the AT28HC64B-90JI by writing three specific bytes (AAh to address 1555h, 55h to address 0AAAh, then A0h to address 1555h) followed by any write to activate protection. Disabling SDP requires a five-byte sequence (AAh/55h/80h/AAh/20h to address 1555h, then 55h to 0AAAh). These commands are defined in the AT28HC64B-90JI datasheet and do not alter user memory contents.
What package type is used for the AT28HC64B-90JI, and is it JEDEC-compliant?
The AT28HC64B-90JI uses a 28-lead, 0.300" wide plastic gull-wing small outline (SOIC-28) package, designated as "SI" in Atmel's ordering nomenclature. It conforms to JEDEC standard MS-013 and features a JEDEC-approved byte-wide pinout identical to industry-standard SRAMs - ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility with existing SOIC-28 footprints and socketing solutions for the AT28HC64B-90JI.
Can the AT28HC64B-90JI be used in place of faster or slower speed grades like the -70 or -120 versions?
Yes, the AT28HC64B-90JI is pin- and function-compatible with the -70JI and -120JI variants. While the -70JI guarantees 70 ns access and the -120JI guarantees 120 ns, the -90JI's 90 ns rating provides timing headroom between them. System timing margins must be verified per design, but no PCB or firmware changes are required to substitute the AT28HC64B-90JI into circuits originally specified for other speed grades in the same package.
