Product details
Overview
AT49BV001AN-55VI from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply Flash memory IC designed for in-system reprogrammability in embedded boot code storage. It operates from 2.7V to 3.6V, delivers 55 ns read access time, supports byte-by-byte programming (30 µs/byte typical), and features hardware data protection with 10,000 write cycles endurance. It is used in industrial microcontroller boot loaders requiring reliable nonvolatile code retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001AN-55VI datasheet, AT49BV001AN-55VI pinout, AT49BV001AN-55VI application, or AT49BV001AN-55VI equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, sector architecture details, boot block lockout behavior, PLCC-32 package mapping, and real-world design implications for secure firmware storage and field-upgradable systems.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001AN-55VI implements a sector-erasable Flash architecture with one 16K-byte boot block, two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K + 64K bytes). Its command-set-driven operation uses standard CE/OE/WE control lines and requires no high-voltage programming inputs - all functions execute via 5V-compatible software command sequences.
It supports DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) methods for program/erase cycle completion detection. The RESET pin is NC on this variant, eliminating reset-triggered boot block override capability present in other family members like the AT49BV001AT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits), organized as 128K words × 8 bits |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns - enables direct replacement of EPROMs in legacy 8-bit bus systems without timing redesign |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with battery-backed or low-voltage industrial power rails |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - allows rapid field updates of small firmware patches without system downtime |
| Erase Cycle Time | 3 seconds max for full chip erase - supports fast reconfiguration during manufacturing or service |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - sufficient for infrequent boot code updates over product lifetime |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001AN-55VI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE), with pin 1 marked by corner chamfer. Pin 1 is NC (No Connect) per datasheet specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A11 is don't-care in command cycles |
| 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 control; used with CE to prevent bus contention during reads |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command and programming cycles |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read data output and program data input; supports DATA polling on I/O7 |
| RESET | No Connect (NC) | Pin 1 on PLCC package is unconnected - boot block override via 12V on RESET is not available |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6V supply; CMOS standby current ≤ 50 µA minimizes quiescent power draw |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16K-byte sector (00000H–03FFFH) permanently protected after enable - prevents accidental corruption of boot loader code |
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erasure of two 8K-byte parameter blocks and two main memory blocks - enables selective firmware updates without full chip erase |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibit logic - eliminates spurious writes in noisy environments |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time status feedback via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware |
| Standard Microprocessor Interface | CE/OE/WE timing compliant with common 8-bit MPU buses - drop-in replacement for EPROMs without glue logic changes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF010-55-4C-NHE | 512 Kbit density (64K × 8), 55 ns access, same PLCC-32 package and 3V supply | Lacks boot block lockout and sector erase; only supports full-chip erase | Select when lower density suffices and simplified erase control is preferred over security features |
| MX29LV010TC-55G | 1 Mbit density, 55 ns access, TSOP-32 package, 3.0–3.6V supply, includes CFI query support | Supports Common Flash Interface but lacks dedicated boot block lockout command sequence | Choose for standardized CFI-based flash management in new designs where vendor-agnostic tooling is required |
Compared with SST39VF010-55-4C-NHE and MX29LV010TC-55G, the AT49BV001AN-55VI uniquely combines 1 Mbit capacity, hardware-enforced boot block protection, and flexible sector erase in a PLCC-32 industrial package - making it optimal for legacy-replacement and safety-critical boot memory roles where write-integrity assurance is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the RESET pin on the AT49BV001AN-55VI?
The RESET pin on the AT49BV001AN-55VI is designated as No Connect (NC) per the official datasheet. Unlike the AT49BV001AT variant, this pin is unconnected internally and serves no functional purpose. It cannot be used for reset assertion or boot block override. The AT49BV001AN-55VI relies solely on CE/OE/WE control sequencing for all operations, and its boot block lockout feature - once enabled - cannot be overridden via voltage injection on RESET because the pin is physically inactive.
Does the AT49BV001AN-55VI support sector erase, and what are the sector boundaries?
Yes, the AT49BV001AN-55VI supports independent sector erase. Its memory is divided into: one 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks (04000H–05FFFH and 06000H–07FFFH), and two main memory blocks (08000H–0FFFFH = 32K bytes; 10000H–1FFFFH = 64K bytes). Each sector can be erased individually using the six-cycle sector erase command with appropriate address and data values. This enables targeted firmware updates without disturbing boot or calibration data stored elsewhere.
How does the boot block programming lockout work on the AT49BV001AN-55VI?
The AT49BV001AN-55VI implements a permanent boot block lockout feature that, once enabled via a six-cycle command sequence (555H/AAH → AAH/55H → 555H/80H → 555H/AAH → AAH/55H → 555H/40H), prevents any further programming or erasure of the 16K-byte boot sector (00000H–03FFFH). Unlike variants with RESET-based override, this lockout is irreversible on the AT49BV001AN-55VI due to the NC RESET pin. The lockout state can be verified by reading bit I/O0 at address 00002H in software product identification mode.
What package type is used for the AT49BV001AN-55VI, and are there footprint alternatives?
The AT49BV001AN-55VI uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE), identified as package code "32J". Pin 1 is marked by a corner chamfer and is NC. While the same die is offered in TSOP-32 (32T) and VSOP-32 (32V) packages under different order codes (e.g., AT49BV001AN-55TI), the AT49BV001AN-55VI specifically denotes the PLCC variant - no footprint compatibility exists between PLCC and surface-mount TSOP/VSOP packages due to differing land patterns, lead pitch, and mounting requirements.
Can the AT49BV001AN-55VI be used as a direct replacement for standard EPROMs like the 27C010?
Yes, the AT49BV001AN-55VI is designed as a functional and pin-compatible replacement for 1 Mbit EPROMs such as the 27C010 in 8-bit parallel bus systems. It shares identical pinout (A0–A16, I/O0–I/O7, CE, OE, WE, VCC, GND), 55 ns access timing, and standard read protocol (CE+OE low, WE high). However, unlike EPROMs, it requires no UV erasure and supports in-system reprogramming via software commands - enabling field updates without socket removal or external programmers.
