Product details
Overview
AT28HC64B-90SU from Microchip Technology (formerly 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 supporting up to 64-byte writes in ≤10 ms. It operates from a single 5 V ±10% supply and is used in industrial control firmware storage, BIOS configuration backup, and embedded system parameter retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64B-90SU datasheet, AT28HC64B-90SU pinout, AT28HC64B-90SU application, or AT28HC64B-90SU equivalent, key selection criteria include page write timing (10 ms max), CMOS/TTL compatibility, DATA polling & toggle bit for write completion detection, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and green SOIC-28 packaging.
Technical Context
The AT28HC64B-90SU implements a parallel interface with independent CE/OE/WE controls enabling SRAM-like read/write operation without external logic. 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 methods: DATA polling (I/O7 complement inversion) and toggle bit (I/O6 toggling), both functional across the full write cycle. Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibit), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on WE/CE inputs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C64B-90PU | Same 64K × 8 architecture and 90 ns speed, but uses PDIP-28 package instead of SOIC-28; no green packaging option | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy PCBs with DIP footprints; lacks surface-mount thermal performance | Select when mechanical mounting or hand-soldering is required; verify board layout accommodates 0.600" DIP width |
| ST M48T02-90MH6 | 64K × 8 NV SRAM with integrated lithium battery and real-time clock; 90 ns access but requires battery management | Used where nanosecond write latency and RTC functionality are critical; not a direct EEPROM replacement due to different write mechanism | Choose only if simultaneous timekeeping and nonvolatile storage are needed; avoid for pure configuration storage due to battery lifetime constraints |
Compared with AT28HC64B-90SU, AT28C64B-90PU offers identical electrical behavior but different mechanical fit, while ST M48T02-90MH6 trades EEPROM endurance for RTC integration and zero-write-latency - making it unsuitable for high-cycle parameter logging but viable for timestamped event logging.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write cycle time for AT28HC64B-90SU?
The AT28HC64B-90SU has a maximum page write cycle time 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 1–64 byte writes within a single page. The datasheet notes an optional faster variant (AT28HC64BF) achieves 2 ms, but that is not applicable to the AT28HC64B-90SU.
Does AT28HC64B-90SU support both hardware and software write protection?
Yes, AT28HC64B-90SU 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 protection uses a user-programmable 3-byte command sequence to enable/disable write locks. Both mechanisms operate independently and persist across power cycles, ensuring robust defense against accidental writes in AT28HC64B-90SU deployments.
Can AT28HC64B-90SU be used with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
No, AT28HC64B-90SU requires a 5 V ±10% supply and is not 3.3 V tolerant. Its inputs are CMOS/TTL compatible but specified only for 5 V logic levels (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). Interfacing with 3.3 V microcontrollers requires level-shifting circuitry on address, data, and control lines to prevent damage and ensure reliable operation of AT28HC64B-90SU.
How is write completion detected on AT28HC64B-90SU?
AT28HC64B-90SU provides two independent methods: DATA polling monitors I/O7 - it outputs the complement of the last written byte until completion, then returns true data; toggle bit monitors I/O6 - it toggles between 0 and 1 during writes and stops toggling upon completion. Both methods are usable at any time during the write cycle and require no additional hardware, simplifying host firmware for AT28HC64B-90SU integration.
What package type does AT28HC64B-90SU use?
AT28HC64B-90SU uses a 28-lead SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package designated as 28S, with 0.300" body width, JEDEC MS-013 compliant dimensions, and green (Pb/halide-free) finish. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or beveled corner; NC pins (1, 14, 27) must remain unconnected per the AT28HC64B-90SU datasheet.
