Product details
Overview
AT28HC64B-90TU from Atmel is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, 90 ns read access time, page write capability (1–64 bytes), and hardware/software data protection - used in industrial control firmware storage, BIOS configuration backup, and embedded system parameter retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64B-90TU datasheet, AT28HC64B-90TU pinout, AT28HC64B-90TU application, or AT28HC64B-90TU equivalent, key selection criteria include 5 V ±10% single-supply operation, CMOS/TTL compatibility, DATA polling & toggle-bit write completion detection, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT28HC64B-90TU implements a parallel interface with static RAM-like read/write timing, eliminating external address latches. Its internal 64-byte page register enables burst writes without bus hold, while automatic internal write timing eliminates external programming pulses.
Write cycle termination is confirmed via dual methods: 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.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8), organized as byte-addressable nonvolatile storage |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns maximum - defines minimum clock period for synchronous read interfaces |
| Page Write Cycle | 10 ms maximum - determines worst-case firmware update latency per 64-byte block |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5 V logic systems without level shifting |
| Standby Current | 100 µA CMOS - enables low-power retention in battery-backed applications |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Page Write Operation | Writes 1–64 bytes in single 10 ms cycle - reduces firmware update time vs. byte-by-byte writes |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual asynchronous write-completion detection - eliminates need for fixed delays or external timers |
| Software Data Protection (SDP) | User-configurable 3-byte command sequence prevents accidental writes - critical for field-deployed systems |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | VCC sense, power-on delay, and noise filtering prevent spurious writes during power transitions |
| Device Identification Area | 64-byte reserved EEPROM region (1FC0H–1FFFH) accessible at 12 V - supports unique device serialization |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ST M28W640ECT | 64 Mbit (8M × 8), 120 ns access, 3.3 V only, no software protection | Larger capacity but incompatible voltage and missing SDP - requires redesign for 3.3 V and new protection scheme | Choose only if higher density and 3.3 V operation are mandatory; not a functional substitute |
| Microchip 28C64B-25J | Same 64 Kbit, 250 ns access, 5 V, PLCC-32 package, no page write or SDP | Slower timing and no page write - increases firmware update time; lacks software lockout | Acceptable for cost-sensitive, low-update-frequency applications where speed and protection are secondary |
Compared with ST M28W640ECT and Microchip 28C64B-25J, the AT28HC64B-90TU delivers optimal balance of speed (90 ns), page write efficiency, and dual-layer (hardware + software) write protection - making it the preferred choice for industrial firmware and configuration storage where reliability and update agility are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write cycle time for AT28HC64B-90TU?
The AT28HC64B-90TU has a maximum page write cycle time of 10 ms under standard conditions. This value is specified in the AC characteristics table and applies to all page sizes (1–64 bytes). The device does not support the optional 2 ms cycle time - that feature is exclusive to the AT28HC64BF variant, which is not interchangeable with the AT28HC64B-90TU.
Does AT28HC64B-90TU support both hardware and software data protection?
Yes, the AT28HC64B-90TU implements dual-layer protection: hardware features include VCC sensing (<3.8 V inhibit), 5 ms power-on delay, and 15 ns noise filtering on WE/CE; software protection uses a user-configurable 3-byte command sequence (AAh/55h/A0h) to enable/disable write lock. Both mechanisms operate independently and are fully active in the AT28HC64B-90TU.
What package type is used for AT28HC64B-90TU?
The AT28HC64B-90TU is packaged in a 28-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP), designated as 28T per Atmel's ordering information. It measures 8 mm × 13.4 mm with 0.55 mm lead pitch and conforms to JEDEC MO-183 standards. Pins 1, 14, 27, and 28 are NC and must remain unconnected.
Can AT28HC64B-90TU be used in place of AT28HC64B-70TU?
Yes - the AT28HC64B-90TU is functionally identical to the AT28HC64B-70TU except for its 90 ns (vs. 70 ns) read access time. All pinouts, voltage specifications, timing parameters (except tACC/tCE), and features including page write, DATA polling, and software protection are identical. System timing margins should be verified, but no PCB or firmware changes are required.
How is write completion detected on AT28HC64B-90TU?
Write completion on the AT28HC64B-90TU is detected using two independent methods: (1) DATA polling - reading the last written byte returns complemented data until completion, then true data; (2) Toggle bit - I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during write and stabilizes after completion. Both methods are fully supported and documented in the AT28HC64B-90TU datasheet.
