Product details
Overview
AT28HC64BF-90SU from Atmel is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, 90 ns read access time, 2 ms maximum page write cycle, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It supports hardware/software data protection, DATA polling, and toggle-bit write completion detection for embedded control and firmware storage applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT28HC64BF-90SU datasheet, AT28HC64BF-90SU pinout, AT28HC64BF-90SU application, or AT28HC64BF-90SU equivalent, key selection considerations include page-write timing (≤2 ms), CMOS/TTL compatibility, 5 V ±10% single-supply operation, and green (Pb/halide-free) SOIC-28 packaging.
Technical Context
The AT28HC64BF-90SU operates as a static RAM-compatible nonvolatile memory: reads require CE and OE low with WE high; writes initiate on WE or CE low pulse while OE is high. Its internal 64-byte page register latches up to 64 bytes simultaneously, freeing the address/data bus during internal programming.
Write completion is verified via I/O7 DATA polling (complement-to-true transition) or I/O6 toggle-bit behavior. Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits write), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored); software protection uses a three-byte command sequence at addresses 1555H/0AAAH/1555H.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8 bits) - sufficient for boot code, calibration tables, or device configuration in microcontroller systems. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max - enables direct replacement of SRAM in legacy 8-bit bus systems without timing redesign. |
| Page Write Cycle | 2 ms max - allows efficient bulk updates (1–64 bytes/page) without per-byte overhead, reducing firmware update latency. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and eliminates need for auxiliary voltage regulators. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA CMOS - supports low-power modes in battery-backed or energy-sensitive industrial controllers. |
| Endurance | 100,000 write cycles - ensures reliable field reprogramming over product lifetime in telemetry or sensor nodes. |
| Data Retention | 10 years - maintains stored parameters across extended shelf life or unpowered deployment intervals. |
Pinout & Package
AT28HC64BF-90SU is supplied in a 28-lead, 0.300" wide plastic gull-wing small outline (SOIC) package compliant with JEDEC MS-013, RoHS-compliant and Pb/halide-free.
| 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 interface for read/write operations; supports DATA polling on I/O7 and toggle-bit detection on I/O6. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for read/write access; high state forces outputs to high-impedance and disables writes. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to manage bus contention; high state disables output drivers. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte or page write when CE is low and OE is high; supports WE- or CE-controlled write modes. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% supply; powers core logic and memory array; internal VCC sense prevents writes below 3.8 V. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; decoupling capacitor required near VCC pin for stable read/write timing. |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pins (e.g., Pin 1, Pin 14 in SOIC top view); must remain unconnected to avoid signal integrity issues. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC Byte-wide Pinout | Direct drop-in replacement for industry-standard 28-pin parallel EEPROMs and SRAMs without PCB layout changes. |
| 64-byte Page Write | Reduces firmware update time by up to 64× vs. byte-write mode; internal latching frees host bus for concurrent tasks. |
| Hardware + Software Protection | VCC sensing, 5 ms power-up delay, and programmable SDP prevent accidental writes during brown-out or reset sequences. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Two independent, pin-level methods (I/O7 complement, I/O6 toggle) enable robust write-status monitoring without external timers or interrupts. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C operation validated across full voltage and timing specs - suitable for factory automation and outdoor metering. |

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-90N6T | 64 Mbit (8M × 8), 90 ns access, 3.3 V supply only - not 5 V compatible. | Requires level-shifting or voltage rail redesign; unsuitable for legacy 5 V systems. | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and higher density is needed. |
| Microchip 25LC640-I/P | 64 Kbit SPI interface, 5 V tolerant, 5 MHz max clock - serial, not parallel. | Needs MCU SPI peripheral and software driver; slower effective throughput than parallel 90 ns reads. | Choose for space-constrained designs where pin count reduction outweighs speed penalty. |
Compared with ST M28W640ECT-90N6T and Microchip 25LC640-I/P, the AT28HC64BF-90SU delivers pin-compatible 5 V parallel EEPROM functionality without voltage translation or interface protocol conversion - preserving legacy system timing and minimizing firmware changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write cycle time for AT28HC64BF-90SU?
The AT28HC64BF-90SU has a maximum page write cycle time of 2 ms, as specified in the AC characteristics table. This applies to all 1–64 byte writes within a single 64-byte page (defined by A6–A12). The timing is internally controlled and does not require external wait-state generation. AT28HC64BF-90SU achieves this performance using Atmel's advanced CMOS process with integrated charge-pump programming circuitry.
Does AT28HC64BF-90SU support both hardware and software write protection?
Yes, AT28HC64BF-90SU implements dual-layer protection: hardware features include VCC sensing (<3.8 V inhibits writes), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on WE/CE inputs; software protection uses a user-configurable three-byte command sequence (AAH/55H/A0H) to enable/disable write lock. AT28HC64BF-90SU ships with software data protection disabled but retains full hardware safeguards active at all times.
What package type is used for AT28HC64BF-90SU?
AT28HC64BF-90SU is packaged in a 28-lead, 0.300" wide plastic gull-wing small outline (SOIC) package, designated as 28S per Atmel's ordering guide. It complies with JEDEC MS-013, features Pb/halide-free construction, and measures 17.7–18.1 mm × 7.4–7.6 mm × 2.35–2.65 mm (L × W × H). This SOIC variant is pin-compatible with other 28-pin parallel EEPROMs in PDIP and TSOP footprints.
Can AT28HC64BF-90SU be used as a direct replacement for standard SRAM in existing designs?
Yes, AT28HC64BF-90SU is accessed like Static RAM for reads and writes - CE and OE low with WE high for reads; WE or CE low with OE high for writes - requiring no external timing logic. Its 90 ns read access and JEDEC byte-wide pinout allow drop-in replacement in many 8-bit bus systems. However, write cycles take up to 2 ms, so AT28HC64BF-90SU requires host software to poll I/O7 or monitor I/O6 to detect completion before initiating subsequent accesses.
What is the purpose of the extra 64 bytes of EEPROM in AT28HC64BF-90SU?
The AT28HC64BF-90SU includes an additional 64 bytes of EEPROM (addresses 1FC0H–1FFFH) accessible by raising A9 to 12.0 V ±0.5 V. These bytes are intended for device identification, manufacturing traceability, or customer-specific metadata storage. They operate identically to main array bytes but require elevated voltage on A9 for access - a feature distinct from the main 64 Kbit array and not activated during normal 5 V operation.
