Product details
Overview
AT28HC64B-90PI from Atmel is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, 90 ns read access time, hardware/software data protection, and page write capability (1–64 bytes). It operates from a single 5 V ±10% supply, supports industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and delivers 40 mA active current with 100 µA CMOS standby current - used in embedded system configuration storage, firmware parameter retention, and boot code nonvolatile storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64B-90PI datasheet, AT28HC64B-90PI pinout, AT28HC64B-90PI application, or AT28HC64B-90PI equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 90 ns tACC timing, PDIP-28 package compatibility, page-write cycle time (≤10 ms), DATA polling/toggle bit write completion detection, and software data protection enable/disable command sequences.
Technical Context
The AT28HC64B-90PI implements a static RAM-compatible parallel interface with dual-line chip enable (CE) and output enable (OE) control for bus contention avoidance. Its internal 64-byte page register latches addresses and data during page writes, freeing the address/data bus for concurrent operations.
Write completion is confirmed via I/O7 DATA polling (complement-to-data behavior) or I/O6 toggle-bit detection, both operable at any point during the write cycle. Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibit), 5 ms power-on delay, noise filtering on WE/CE, and write-inhibit logic (OE low, CE high, or WE high).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8), organized as byte-addressable parallel array |
| Read Access Time (tACC) | 90 ns maximum - guarantees deterministic read latency in timing-critical control loops |
| Page Write Cycle Time (tWC) | 10 ms maximum - enables burst programming of up to 64 bytes without external timing control |
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS logic families and avoids level-shifting |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems including motor controllers and PLCs |
| Endurance & Retention | 100,000 write/erase cycles; 10-year data retention - suitable for field-updatable calibration tables |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 100 µA CMOS - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed applications |
Pinout & Package
AT28HC64B-90PI is supplied in a 28-lead plastic dual inline package (PDIP), 0.600" wide, with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout and no-connect (NC) pins at positions 1 and 14. Pin functions are electrically identical across PDIP, SOIC, TSOP, and PLCC variants.
| 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 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path for reads/writes; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for toggle-bit detection |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global device select; must be low for read/write; high forces outputs to high-Z and inhibits writes |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; when low and CE low, data appears on I/O lines; high disables outputs |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge latches address/data; rising edge initiates internal write timer |
| GND / VCC | Power Terminals | Ground reference and 5 V supply; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of VCC/GND pins |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1 and 14 are unconnected; must remain floating - no pull-up/down or routing allowed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Page Write Operation | Simultaneous latching of up to 64 bytes with automatic internal programming - reduces host CPU overhead vs. byte-by-byte writes |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual asynchronous write-completion detection methods (I/O7 complement, I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed delays or external timers |
| Software Data Protection (SDP) | User-configurable 3-byte command sequence (AAh/55h/A0h) to enable/disable write lock - prevents corruption during power transients |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | VCC sense, 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on WE/CE - ensures robustness against brown-out and EMI-induced glitches |
| Device Identification Area | 64-byte reserved EEPROM 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-90JI | Same die, 32-lead PLCC package; identical AC/DC specs and timing | Surface-mount assembly; requires reflow profile compatible with J-leads | Select for automated SMT production where board space and thermal mass favor PLCC over through-hole PDIP |

FAQ
What is the maximum page write cycle time for AT28HC64B-90PI?
The AT28HC64B-90PI has a maximum page write cycle time (tWC) of 10 ms under standard operation. This value is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and applies to all page sizes (1–64 bytes). The device automatically manages internal programming timing once the page write is initiated - no external timing circuitry is required. AT28HC64B-90PI does not support the optional 2 ms tWC variant (which requires the AT28HC64BF die).
How does software data protection work on AT28HC64B-90PI?
AT28HC64B-90PI implements software data protection (SDP) via a three-byte unlock sequence: write AAh to address 1555h, 55h to 0AAAh, then A0h to 1555h. After this sequence, all subsequent writes require repeating the same sequence before data. SDP remains active across power cycles and protects against inadvertent writes during power-up/down. The AT28HC64B-90PI ships with SDP disabled by default.
Can AT28HC64B-90PI be used with 3.3 V systems?
No - AT28HC64B-90PI requires a single 5 V ±10% supply (4.5 V to 5.5 V) and is not 3.3 V tolerant. Its inputs are CMOS/TTL compatible but designed for 5 V logic levels; applying 3.3 V to VCC will prevent proper operation and may cause undefined behavior. For 3.3 V systems, consider Microchip's 25-series SPI EEPROMs or other 3.3 V parallel alternatives - AT28HC64B-90PI is strictly a 5 V device.
What package type is used for AT28HC64B-90PI?
AT28HC64B-90PI uses a 28-lead plastic dual inline package (PDIP), 0.600" wide (package code P6), with through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is located at the top-left corner with a notch or dot marking. This package conforms to JEDEC MS-011 AB and features NC pins at positions 1 and 14. Thermal and mechanical specifications are fully documented in Atmel's 28P6 packaging drawing.
Does AT28HC64B-90PI support chip erase functionality?
Yes - AT28HC64B-90PI supports chip erase using a high-voltage (12.0 V ±0.5 V) pulse applied to the A9 pin while holding CE low and WE low, with OE at VH. The erase cycle requires a minimum 10 ms pulse width and places the device in high-impedance state during execution. Chip erase clears all 8,192 bytes to FFh and is distinct from byte/page write operations. This function is documented in Section 18 of the AT28HC64B datasheet.
