Product details
Overview
AT49BV001-90VI 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 byte-by-byte programming (30 µs/byte typical), features hardware data protection, and includes a 16-Kbyte boot block with programmable lockout - deployed in industrial-grade applications requiring firmware persistence and field-upgradable BIOS or bootloader code.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001-90VI datasheet, AT49BV001-90VI pinout, AT49BV001-90VI application, or AT49BV001-90VI equivalent, key selection considerations include its 32-pin PLCC/TSOP/VSOP package compatibility, sector-erase architecture (boot + parameter + main memory blocks), RESET-enabled boot-block override capability, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) operation.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001-90VI implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and supports EPROM-like read timing. Its internal command register executes software-controlled erase and program operations without external high-voltage circuitry.
It uses a sector-based memory map: one 16-Kbyte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes). Erase is performed via 6-cycle command sequences (chip or sector), and programming uses 4-cycle load commands with DATA polling or toggle-bit status detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits) - sufficient for small firmware images or configuration tables in resource-constrained controllers. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration with 3.3 V logic systems without level-shifting. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns - defines maximum sustained instruction fetch rate from external memory in microcontroller boot scenarios. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - determines minimum time per byte update during field firmware patching. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max (full chip) - sets worst-case latency for reprogramming entire memory contents. |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - specifies usable lifetime under repeated field-update conditions. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualifies for industrial control, automotive body electronics, and outdoor embedded devices. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001-90VI is available in 32-lead VSOP (8 × 14 mm), TSOP (8 × 20 mm), PDIP, and PLCC packages. The VSOP variant is indicated by the "V" suffix in the ordering code and matches the pinout shown in the VSOP top-view diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A0 least significant bit. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; latched on WE/CE edges during programming/reads. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read output. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to prevent bus contention during shared-memory access. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates command loading, byte programming, or erase sequencing. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V input enables boot-block override. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; internal voltage regulation supports stable programming. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return for all signals and power; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 31 in VSOP/TSOP packages - must remain unconnected per datasheet; not internally bonded. |
| DC | Don't Connect | Pin 1 in DIP/PLCC packages - floating; no internal connection; must be left open. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | Enables secure bootloader storage: 16-Kbyte boot block (00000H–03FFFH) can be permanently locked against accidental overwrite after enabling command sequence. |
| Hardware Data Protection | Prevents unintended writes via VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line interlock (OE low / CE high / WE high disables programming). |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit Status | Allows real-time program/erase completion detection without polling timers: I/O7 complement indicates active programming; I/O6 toggling indicates ongoing operation. |
| 12 V RESET Override | Permits reprogramming of locked boot block by applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to RESET pin during erase/program - critical for recovery after corruption or security breach. |
| Low Power Standby | 50 µA CMOS standby current minimizes system-level quiescent power draw in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49LV001-90VI | 3.0–3.6 V only supply range; lacks 2.7 V low-voltage operation; identical pinout, timing, and sector architecture. | Not suitable for battery-powered systems operating near 2.7 V; otherwise drop-in compatible in 3.3 V fixed-rail designs. | Select when system VCC is tightly regulated at 3.3 V and extended low-voltage margin is unnecessary. |
| SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE | Same density and 90 ns access; supports 3.0–3.6 V; includes automatic erase suspend/resume and enhanced command set. | Offers improved interrupt handling during erase - beneficial in real-time systems requiring deterministic response latency. | Choose when application demands concurrent background erase with foreground reads or tighter timing control during field updates. |
Compared with AT49LV001-90VI and SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE, the AT49BV001-90VI provides broader voltage tolerance (2.7–3.6 V) essential for battery-depleted operation, while retaining identical industrial temperature support and boot-block security - making it optimal for portable or wide-input-range embedded platforms.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range of the AT49BV001-90VI?
The AT49BV001-90VI operates from 2.7 V to 3.6 V. This wider low-voltage margin compared to the AT49LV001-90VI (3.0–3.6 V) enables reliable function in battery-powered or brownout-prone systems. The device incorporates VCC-sense circuitry that inhibits programming if supply drops below ~1.8 V, preventing corruption during power transitions. All DC and AC specifications in the datasheet are validated across this full range.
Does the AT49BV001-90VI support in-system programming without external high voltage?
Yes, the AT49BV001-90VI supports full in-system reprogramming using only its 2.7–3.6 V supply. No external 12 V or higher programming voltage is required for standard byte programming or sector erasure. The internal command register interprets software-defined sequences (e.g., six-cycle chip erase) to initiate operations. Only the RESET-driven boot-block override requires 12 V - an exception used solely for recovery, not routine programming.
How is the boot block protected on the AT49BV001-90VI?
The AT49BV001-90VI includes a dedicated 16-Kbyte boot block (00000H–03FFFH) with programmable lockout. Once enabled via a six-command sequence (5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/80H → 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/40H), the boot block becomes immune to erase or program commands at ≤5.5 V. The lockout state is detectable via software product identification mode reading I/O0 at address 00002H. RESET pin driven to 12 V overrides the lock for recovery.
What package types are available for the AT49BV001-90VI?
The AT49BV001-90VI is offered in four industry-standard 32-pin packages: VSOP (8 × 14 mm, "V" suffix), TSOP (8 × 20 mm, "T" suffix), PDIP (0.600" wide, "P" suffix), and PLCC (J-leaded, "J" suffix). The "VI" in the part number specifically denotes the industrial-temperature VSOP variant. Pinouts are identical across packages; only mechanical dimensions and thermal characteristics differ - VSOP offers compact footprint ideal for space-constrained PCBs.
Can the AT49BV001-90VI be used as a direct replacement for the AT49LV001-90VI?
The AT49BV001-90VI is pin-compatible and functionally equivalent to the AT49LV001-90VI in 3.3 V systems, but adds 2.7 V operation capability. Electrical timing (90 ns access), command set, sector map, and industrial temperature rating are identical. However, substituting AT49BV001-90VI into a design originally specifying AT49LV001-90VI introduces no risk - it extends voltage margin without requiring layout or firmware changes. The reverse substitution is not recommended for low-voltage operation.
