Product details
Overview
AT28LV64B-25JC from Atmel is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with 3.3 V ±10% single-supply operation, 250 ns read access time, and hardware/software data protection. It supports byte and 64-byte page write modes, delivers 15 mA active current and 20 µA CMOS standby current, and is rated for 100,000 write cycles and 10-year data retention - deployed in industrial control firmware storage and embedded configuration memory.
For engineers reviewing the AT28LV64B-25JC datasheet, AT28LV64B-25JC pinout, AT28LV64B-25JC application, or AT28LV64B-25JC equivalent, key selection criteria include JEDEC-standard byte-wide parallel interface timing, software data protection (SDP) command sequence requirements, 250 ns tACC read latency, and compatibility with 3.3 V logic systems requiring nonvolatile configuration storage without external voltage boosters.
Technical Context
The AT28LV64B-25JC operates as a static RAM-compatible parallel EEPROM: CE/OE/WE control enables direct bus interfacing without glue logic. Its internal 64-byte page register latches address and data during page writes, decoupling the host bus after initiation.
Write completion is verified via DATA polling on I/O7 (complement-to-data toggle) or TOGGLE BIT behavior on I/O6. Software Data Protection requires a three-byte unlock sequence (0xAA → 0x55 → 0xA0 at addresses 0x5555, 0x2AAA, 0x5555) before each write operation - enforced across all byte and page writes.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT28LV64B-25JC is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016 AE. Pin 1 and Pin 17 are designated "Don't Connect" (DC); NC pins must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus selecting one of 8,192 bytes; A6–A12 define page boundaries for 64-byte writes |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for TOGGLE BIT status indication |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for read access |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; high-Z state when high, enabling bus sharing |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge latches address/data; initiates SDP-protected write cycle |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3 V ±10% supply; internal power-on delay (~10 ms) prevents spurious writes during power ramp |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; required for stable I/O voltage referencing and noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 | 5 V only supply; 120 ns read access; no software data protection | Requires level-shifting in 3.3 V systems; lacks SDP, increasing risk of inadvertent writes during brownout | Select only if legacy 5 V design and faster read speed outweigh security and voltage compatibility needs |
| Microchip 25LC640A-I/P | SPI interface (serial), 3.3 V, 5 MHz clock; no parallel bus or page write | Requires MCU SPI peripheral and software driver; eliminates address/data bus routing but adds protocol overhead | Prefer for space-constrained designs where serial interface simplifies PCB layout and reduces pin count |
Compared with ST M28W640ECT and Microchip 25LC640A-I/P, the AT28LV64B-25JC uniquely combines 3.3 V parallel interface, JEDEC pinout, integrated SDP, and 64-byte page write - making it optimal for retrofitting legacy 8-bit systems needing secure, low-power, drop-in EEPROM replacement.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for the AT28LV64B-25JC?
The AT28LV64B-25JC has a maximum read access time (tACC) of 250 ns, measured from address valid to valid data on I/O0–I/O7. This specification applies across the full commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and ensures compatibility with 4 MHz Z80 or 8051-based systems using standard wait-state logic. The AT28LV64B-25JC achieves this while operating from a single 3.3 V supply, distinguishing it from faster but 5 V-only alternatives.
Does the AT28LV64B-25JC require external high voltage for programming?
No, the AT28LV64B-25JC performs all write operations using only its 3.3 V supply - no external 12 V or VPP programming voltage is needed. The device integrates charge pumps internally to generate necessary programming voltages. However, the optional 64-byte device identification area (7FC0H–7FFFH) does require A9 raised to 12.0 V ± 0.5 V for access, but this is separate from normal memory writes and not required for standard AT28LV64B-25JC operation.
How does software data protection (SDP) work on the AT28LV64B-25JC?
Software data protection on the AT28LV64B-25JC requires a precise three-byte unlock sequence before any write: write 0xAA to address 0x5555, then 0x55 to address 0x2AAA, then 0xA0 to address 0x5555. Only after this sequence is completed will the next write pulse (to any address) initiate actual programming. The AT28LV64B-25JC ignores all write attempts lacking this sequence - a critical safeguard against power-related glitches or firmware bugs corrupting stored data.
Can the AT28LV64B-25JC be used in place of a standard SRAM for read operations?
Yes - the AT28LV64B-25JC is accessed identically to a static RAM during reads: assert CE and OE low while keeping WE high, and valid data appears on I/O0–I/O7 within 250 ns. Its outputs go high-impedance when CE or OE is high, enabling seamless integration into existing SRAM bus architectures without additional logic. Unlike SRAM, however, the AT28LV64B-25JC retains data without power, making it ideal for nonvolatile shadow RAM applications.
What package type is used for the AT28LV64B-25JC, and are there any special handling requirements?
The AT28LV64B-25JC uses a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (JEDEC MS-016 AE). Pins 1 and 17 are marked "Don't Connect" (DC) and must remain unconnected - soldering or routing to these pins violates device specifications. The PLCC package supports reflow and wave soldering per Atmel's published guidelines, and its J-lead geometry provides mechanical robustness for vibration-prone industrial applications where the AT28LV64B-25JC is commonly deployed.
