Product details
Overview
AT28HC64B-90SI 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, page write (1–64 bytes), DATA polling, and toggle-bit write completion detection - used in embedded system configuration storage and firmware parameter retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64B-90SI datasheet, AT28HC64B-90SI pinout, AT28HC64B-90SI application, or AT28HC64B-90SI equivalent, key selection considerations include page write timing (10 ms max), CMOS/TTL compatibility, 100 µA standby current, and software data protection enable/disable sequences.
Technical Context
The AT28HC64B-90SI implements a parallel interface with independent CE/OE/WE control logic enabling SRAM-like read/write cycles without external timing components. Its internal 64-byte page register latches address and data during page writes, freeing the bus for concurrent operations.
Write completion is verified via dual mechanisms: DATA polling on I/O7 (complement-to-data during write, true data after completion) and toggle-bit behavior on I/O6. Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibit), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on WE/CE inputs.

Pinout & Package
AT28HC64B-90SI uses a 28-lead SOIC (28S) package with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout and industrial temperature rating (−40°C to +85°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; disables outputs and inhibits writes when high |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drivers during read cycles only |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte or page write on falling edge |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% main supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Page Write Operation | Writes 1–64 bytes in a single internal cycle (max 10 ms), reducing host CPU overhead vs. byte-by-byte writes |
| Software Data Protection | User-configurable lock/unlock via 3-byte command sequence (AAh/55h/A0h), preventing accidental writes during power transitions |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time write status feedback via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling - eliminates need for fixed delays or external timers |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | VCC sense, 5 ms power-on delay, and 15 ns noise filtering prevent spurious writes during brown-out or EMI events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28HC64B-90JI | Same electrical specs and pinout; 32-lead PLCC package instead of 28-lead SOIC | Requires different PCB footprint and reflow profile; suited for through-hole prototyping or legacy board reuse | Select when PLCC socket compatibility or thermal mass requirements dictate larger package |
| AT28HC64B-90TI | Same speed grade and functionality; 28-lead TSOP package with thinner profile (1.2 mm height vs. 2.35 mm SOIC) | Enables higher component density on space-constrained boards; lower thermal mass affects reflow yield | Choose for compact consumer electronics where board thickness is constrained |
Compared with AT28HC64B-90JI and AT28HC64B-90TI, the AT28HC64B-90SI offers optimal balance of surface-mount reliability, thermal performance, and standard SOIC handling - making it preferred for industrial control and medical OEM production where assembly yield and long-term solder joint integrity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write cycle time for AT28HC64B-90SI?
The AT28HC64B-90SI has a maximum page write cycle time of 10 ms under standard conditions. This value is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and applies to all 1–64 byte page writes. The device does not support the optional 2 ms page write mode (reserved for AT28HC64BF variants), and no configuration setting can reduce this timing for the AT28HC64B-90SI.
How does software data protection work on AT28HC64B-90SI?
Software data protection on AT28HC64B-90SI is enabled by writing three specific bytes (AAh → 1555h, 55h → 0AAAh, A0h → 1555h) in sequence. Once activated, all subsequent writes require repeating this sequence before data. The AT28HC64B-90SI ships with SDP disabled, and the feature remains active across power cycles until explicitly disabled using the 5-byte unlock sequence (AAh/55h/80h/AAh/20h).
Can AT28HC64B-90SI operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, AT28HC64B-90SI requires a nominal 5 V supply with ±10% tolerance (4.5 V to 5.5 V). It is not 3.3 V compatible. Attempting to power the AT28HC64B-90SI from 3.3 V will result in failure to meet AC timing specifications, unreliable write operations, and potential data corruption due to insufficient VCC for internal charge pumps and logic thresholds.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on AT28HC64B-90SI?
The NC (No Connect) pins on AT28HC64B-90SI - specifically pins 1 and 17 in PLCC variants and designated NC positions in SOIC/TSOP footprints - are physically present but internally unbonded. They must remain unconnected in the circuit. Routing traces to or placing vias on NC pins violates the AT28HC64B-90SI datasheet and may cause signal integrity issues or latch-up due to floating metal structures.
Does AT28HC64B-90SI support chip erase functionality?
Yes, AT28HC64B-90SI supports chip erase using a dedicated waveform: applying 12.0 V ±0.5 V to A9 while holding CE low, OE high, and WE low for ≥10 ms. This erases the entire 64 Kbit array to FFh. Chip erase is distinct from page/byte writes and requires external 12 V generation - not supported by standard 5 V-only systems. The AT28HC64B-90SI datasheet specifies exact timing and voltage tolerances for safe execution.
