Product details
Overview
AT49BV001-90JI from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 2.7–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 70 ns read access time, supports sector-based erase (boot, parameter, and main memory blocks), features hardware data protection, and operates across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001-90JI datasheet, AT49BV001-90JI pinout, AT49BV001-90JI application, or AT49BV001-90JI equivalent, key selection considerations include its 32-pin PLCC package, boot block programming lockout capability, 10,000 write/erase cycles, DATA polling and toggle bit status detection, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001-90JI implements a sector-architected Flash array with one 16-Kbyte boot block (address 00000H–03FFFH), two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes). Its command interface uses standard CE/OE/WE control lines and requires no high-voltage programming inputs.
It supports byte-by-byte programming (30 µs typical), software-controlled chip or sector erase (10 s max), and dual status verification methods-DATA polling on I/O7 and toggle bit on I/O6-to detect operation completion without external timing dependencies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct battery-powered operation without level-shifting |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns - determines maximum sustained read throughput in CPU bus interfaces |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - defines minimum interval between successive byte writes |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max - sets worst-case latency for full-chip or sector reinitialization |

Pinout & Package
AT49BV001-90JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-leads. Pin 1 is index corner; pin 32 is VCC. Pins 1 and 9 are NC (no connect) per datasheet Note on page 2.

| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers and bus controllers |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus tristate to prevent contention during shared-bus operation |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address and data during programming/erase command sequences |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces outputs to high-impedance state |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and memory array |

| DC / NC | No Connect | Pins 1 and 9 - must remain unconnected per datasheet; not internally bonded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16-Kbyte protected region (00000H–03FFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of boot code via software command |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line gating prevent spurious writes |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time status feedback via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling eliminates need for fixed delay timers in firmware |
| Sector Erase Architecture | Independent erasure of boot, parameter, and main memory blocks enables selective firmware updates without full chip erase |
| Single 3-V Supply Operation | Eliminates requirement for 5-V or 12-V programming voltages - simplifies power design and PCB layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV001-90JC | Same die and timing, but PLCC package rated for commercial (0°C to +70°C) temperature range | Lacks industrial-grade thermal margin; unsuitable for extended ambient or under-hood use | Select AT49BV001-90JI when operating environment exceeds +70°C or falls below 0°C |
| SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE | 1 Mbit Flash with 90 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V supply, but uses different command set and lacks boot block lockout | No hardware-enforced boot sector protection; requires firmware-level safeguards for secure boot | Choose only if legacy SST39VF010 footprint compatibility is required and boot security is managed externally |
Compared with AT49BV001-90JC, the AT49BV001-90JI guarantees operation down to –40°C and up to +85°C, making it suitable for harsh environments; compared with SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE, it provides integrated boot block lockout and Atmel's proven command architecture, reducing firmware validation effort.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the AT49BV001-90JI?
The AT49BV001-90JI contains 1 Mbit of Flash memory organized as 131,072 words × 8 bits (128K × 8). It is divided into a 16-Kbyte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes). This sector architecture enables selective erase and programming, and the AT49BV001-90JI supports both chip-wide and sector-specific erase commands.
Does the AT49BV001-90JI support hardware reset during active programming?
Yes, the AT49BV001-90JI features an active-low RESET pin that halts ongoing program or erase operations and places outputs in high-impedance state. However, if RESET transitions low mid-operation, the operation may fail and must be repeated after RESET returns high. The AT49BV001-90JI does not support automatic resume; firmware must reissue the full command sequence after reset recovery.
How is boot block protection enabled on the AT49BV001-90JI?
Boot block protection on the AT49BV001-90JI is enabled via a six-cycle software command sequence: load AAH to 5555H, 55H to 2AAAH, 80H to 5555H, then AAH/55H/40H to 5555H/2AAAH/5555H. Once activated, the 16-Kbyte boot block (00000H–03FFFH) becomes permanently write-protected at ≤5.5 V. The AT49BV001-90JI datasheet confirms this behavior applies to the "(N)" variant family including this part.
What package type is used for the AT49BV001-90JI?
The AT49BV001-90JI uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (package code 32J). It has J-shaped leads, measures 11.43 mm × 13.97 mm, and features pin 1 as the index corner. Pins 1 and 9 are explicitly designated as "no connect" (NC) per the AT49BV001-90JI datasheet, and must remain unconnected on the PCB.
Can the AT49BV001-90JI be used with a 5-V microcontroller bus?
No - the AT49BV001-90JI is a 3-V-only device with absolute maximum input voltage of 6.25 V, but its DC input thresholds (VIL = 0.6 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and AC timing are specified for 2.7–3.6 V operation. Direct connection to a 5-V bus risks violating VIH/VIL margins and may cause unreliable reads/writes. Level translation or a 3.3-V-compatible microcontroller is required for safe integration with the AT49BV001-90JI.
