Product details
Overview
AT28HC64B-90TU-T 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 100,000 write endurance - used in industrial control firmware storage, embedded configuration memory, and boot code retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64B-90TU-T datasheet, AT28HC64B-90TU-T pinout, AT28HC64B-90TU-T application, or AT28HC64B-90TU-T equivalent, key selection factors include page write capability (1–64 bytes), CMOS/TTL compatibility, 5 V ±10% single-supply operation, DATA polling/toggle bit write completion detection, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT28HC64B-90TU-T 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 delay logic.
Write completion is verified via dual methods: DATA polling on I/O7 (complement-to-data during write, true data after completion) and toggle-bit behavior on I/O6 (toggling during write, stable after completion). Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibit), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on WE/CE inputs.
Key Specifications

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 access, 3.3 V supply only - not 5 V compatible | Requires level-shifting in 5 V systems; higher density suits larger firmware images | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and needing >64 Kbit capacity |
| Microchip 28C64B-25J | 64 Kbit, 250 ns access, PLCC-32 package - slower and larger footprint than TSOP | Limited to legacy designs with PLCC sockets; no software data protection feature | Consider only for backward-compatible replacements where timing budget allows 250 ns latency |
Compared with ST M28W640ECB90N6 and Microchip 28C64B-25J, the AT28HC64B-90TU-T uniquely combines 5 V operation, 90 ns speed, TSOP-28 compactness, and integrated SDP - making it optimal for space-constrained, legacy 5 V industrial systems requiring secure, fast configuration storage.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write size supported by the AT28HC64B-90TU-T?
The AT28HC64B-90TU-T supports up to 64 bytes per page write operation. This is implemented using an internal 64-byte page register that latches addresses and data simultaneously, allowing burst programming without external buffering. Each byte must be loaded within 150 µs of the previous one (tBLC), and all bytes must reside on the same page defined by A6–A12. The AT28HC64B-90TU-T completes the full page write in ≤10 ms.
Does the AT28HC64B-90TU-T require a 12 V supply for any operation?
The AT28HC64B-90TU-T operates from a single 5 V ±10% supply for standard read/write functions. A 12 V ±0.5 V supply is required only for accessing the 64-byte device identification area (addresses 1FC0H–1FFFH) - this is optional and not needed for normal memory operations. All other features, including software data protection enable/disable sequences, function at 5 V.
How does the AT28HC64B-90TU-T detect write completion without polling the status register?
The AT28HC64B-90TU-T provides two hardware-based write completion indicators: DATA polling on I/O7 (returns complement of written data during write, true data after completion) and toggle-bit behavior on I/O6 (toggles between 0 and 1 during write, stabilizes after completion). Neither requires a status register - both operate directly on the data bus using standard read cycles, simplifying host firmware design.
Is the AT28HC64B-90TU-T pin-compatible with earlier AT28HC64A variants?
Yes, the AT28HC64B-90TU-T maintains identical pinout, timing, and electrical specifications with the AT28HC64A series across all packages (TSOP, SOIC, PLCC). Key improvements - including enhanced endurance (100,000 vs. 10,000 cycles), improved data retention, and added software data protection - are implemented without altering interface compatibility. Migration requires no PCB changes.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the AT28HC64B-90TU-T TSOP package?
The AT28HC64B-90TU-T TSOP package has four NC (No Connect) pins: pins 1, 14, 27, and 28. These pins are physically present but internally unbonded and electrically isolated. They must remain unconnected - neither tied to VCC nor GND - to avoid unintended coupling or EMI. Their presence accommodates die pad layout constraints and ensures mechanical compatibility across Atmel's parallel EEPROM family.
