Product details
Overview
AT45DB011-JI from Microchip Technology is a 1-Mbit (1,081,344-bit), 2.7V-only serial DataFlash memory organized as 512 pages × 264 bytes, featuring an integrated 264-byte SRAM buffer, SPI-compatible interface (Modes 0 and 3), and hardware page write protection. It enables in-system reprogramming for embedded data logging, firmware storage, and voice/image buffering in industrial temperature-range applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT45DB011-JI datasheet, AT45DB011-JI pinout, AT45DB011-JI application, or AT45DB011-JI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 13 MHz max SPI clock, 7 ms typical page program time, 120 µs page-to-buffer transfer, 2 µA standby current, and TSSOP/PLCC/SOIC package options with industrial-grade (-40°C to +85°C) operation.
Technical Context
The AT45DB011-JI implements a serial flash architecture with dual-level memory hierarchy: main array (512 × 264 B) and single 264-byte SRAM buffer. All operations-including page program, block erase, and page-to-buffer transfer-are internally self-timed with no external high-voltage programming required.
It supports SPI Modes 0 and 3 via CS/SCK/SI/SO signals, uses MSB-first data framing, and provides status register polling (RDY/BUSY bit 7) and hardware write protection via the WP pin. The device defaults to SPI Mode 3 on power-up or reset and includes internal power-on reset circuitry.

Pinout & Package
AT45DB011-JI is available in 14-lead TSSOP (14X), 8-lead SOIC (8S2), and 32-lead PLCC (32J) packages. The JI suffix denotes industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Pin functions are identical across packages; NC pins are not connected and must remain unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for SPI command initiation; must be held low during opcode/address/data transfer |
| SCK | Serial Clock | Master-generated clock; determines SPI mode (Mode 0: idle low; Mode 3: idle high) |
| SI | Serial Input | Command opcodes, addresses, and write data entered MSB-first on SCK rising edge (Mode 0) or falling edge (Mode 3) |
| SO | Serial Output | Read data and status register bits output MSB-first; tri-stated when CS is high |
| WP | Hardware Write Protect | Low = protects first 256 pages from reprogramming; internally pulled high - optional external tie-high |
| RESET | Chip Reset | Active-low asynchronous reset; terminates ongoing operation and returns state machine to idle |
| RDY/BUSY | Open-drain status indicator | Pulled low during self-timed operations (program/erase/transfer); requires external pull-up resistor |
| VCC / GND | Power supply | 2.7–3.6V core supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) recommended near VCC pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-cycle page program with built-in erase | Combines erase + write in one 83H command - eliminates separate erase step and simplifies firmware logic |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT45DB011B-JI | Successor with enhanced reliability, improved tEP (page erase+program) spec, and updated qualification testing | Same pinout and command set; recommended for new designs per Microchip documentation | Select AT45DB011B-JI for production ramp; AT45DB011-JI remains valid for legacy repair or obsolescence management |
| W25Q80DVSSIG | 8-Mbit SPI NOR flash; quad I/O capable; no internal SRAM buffer; different command set and timing | Lacks page-to-buffer transfer and auto-rewrite; requires external buffer management in host firmware | Choose W25Q80DVSSIG only if higher density and quad-speed read are prioritized over DataFlash-specific features |
Compared with AT45DB011B-JI, the AT45DB011-JI lacks updated endurance specs but retains full functional compatibility; versus W25Q80DVSSIG, it trades density and speed for integrated buffer efficiency and simplified in-system reprogramming logic.

FAQ
What is the maximum SPI clock frequency supported by the AT45DB011-JI?
The AT45DB011-JI supports a maximum SCK frequency of 13 MHz under standard operating conditions (VCC = 2.7–3.6 V, TA = -40°C to +85°C). This value is specified in the AC Characteristics table and validated across the full industrial temperature range. Exceeding 13 MHz may result in timing violations during read/write operations. The AT45DB011-JI does not support quad or dual SPI modes - only standard single-data-rate SPI in Modes 0 and 3.
Does the AT45DB011-JI require a high-voltage programming supply?
No, the AT45DB011-JI operates entirely from its 2.7–3.6 V VCC supply for both read and program/erase operations. All internal high-voltage generation is handled by on-chip charge pumps, eliminating the need for external VPP pins or voltage translators. This simplifies power design and enables true single-supply in-system reprogramming - a core feature confirmed in the device description and electrical specifications of the AT45DB011-JI datasheet.
How does the hardware write protection (WP pin) function on the AT45DB011-JI?
When the WP pin is driven low, the AT45DB011-JI prevents programming or erasing of the first 256 pages (pages 0–255) of main memory. Pages 256–511 remain fully writable. The WP pin is internally pulled high, so leaving it unconnected enables full memory access. For robust protection, Microchip recommends externally tying WP to VCC through a 10 kΩ resistor. This behavior is electrically verified and documented in the "Hardware Page Write Protect" section of the AT45DB011-JI datasheet.
What is the purpose of the 264-byte SRAM buffer in the AT45DB011-JI?
The 264-byte SRAM buffer in the AT45DB011-JI serves three primary functions: (1) staging data for page programming via 83H/88H commands, (2) enabling fast page-to-buffer transfers (53H) for read-modify-write sequences, and (3) supporting buffer-only reads (54H) and comparisons (60H). It eliminates the need for external RAM in many embedded applications and reduces host processor overhead - a defining architectural feature of the AT45DB011-JI DataFlash family.
Can the AT45DB011-JI be used in SPI Mode 1 or Mode 2?
No, the AT45DB011-JI explicitly supports only SPI Modes 0 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 0) and 3 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 1), as stated in the Features list and confirmed in the "Power-on/Reset State" section. Mode 1 (CPOL = 0, CPHA = 1) and Mode 2 (CPOL = 1, CPHA = 0) are not compatible due to timing requirements for SI sampling and SO output enable. Attempting to use unsupported modes will result in corrupted command decoding or data transfer failures on the AT45DB011-JI.
