Product details
Overview
AT49BV001AN-55VU from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 2.7–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 55 ns read access time, 30 µs typical byte programming, and sector-erasable architecture including one 16 KB boot block with hardware lockout. It operates across the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and targets embedded firmware storage in microcontroller-based systems requiring field-upgradable code.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001AN-55VU datasheet, AT49BV001AN-55VU pinout, AT49BV001AN-55VU application, or AT49BV001AN-55VU equivalent, key selection criteria include its 55 ns read timing, boot-block write protection capability, TSOP/VSOP-compatible 32-pin package, and compatibility with standard 5 V–compatible command sets despite 2.7–3.6 V operation.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001AN-55VU implements a CMOS-based NOR Flash architecture with internal program control logic and autonomous erase timing. Its sector organization comprises one 16 KB boot block (address 1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32 KB and 64 KB), all erasable independently via six-cycle software commands.
It supports standard EPROM-like read interface (CE/OE/WE control), DATA polling (I/O7 complement detection) and toggle-bit (I/O6) methods for program/erase completion detection, and hardware data protection via VCC sense, noise filtering on WE/CE, and control-line inhibit logic - all without requiring external high-voltage programming signals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (128K × 8), sufficient for compact bootloader and configuration storage |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns - enables direct execution from flash in timing-critical MCU applications |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - supports fast field updates of small firmware patches |
| Erase Cycle Time | 3 seconds max - allows rapid sector reconfiguration without system downtime |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion and regulated 3.3 V rails |
| Active / Standby Current | 15 mA / 50 µA - low power consumption suitable for battery-backed systems |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - validated for frequent firmware revision in industrial controllers |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded deployment |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001AN-55VU uses a 32-lead Very Small Outline Package (VSOP, 8 × 14 mm, package code 32V), RoHS-compliant and halide-free. Pin 9 is no-connect (NC) 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 |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for toggle-bit status |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for read/write; high forces high-impedance outputs |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data assertion during read; high disables outputs |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command and programming cycles |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V core supply; internal regulation ensures stable operation across voltage range |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and internal logic; decoupling required per layout guidelines |
| NC (Pin 9) | No Connect | Unbonded terminal in VSOP package; must remain unconnected per design specification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16 KB protected region (1C000H–1FFFFH) permanently secured after enable command; prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent erase of two 8 KB parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32 KB/64 KB); enables selective firmware updates without full chip erase |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time program/erase completion detection via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), OE/CE/WE inhibit logic, and 15 ns noise filter on WE/CE - prevents spurious writes in electrically noisy environments |
| Green Packaging | Pb/halide-free VSOP package (32V) compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC MO-142 BA |

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 | Same density (1 Mbit), 55 ns access, but uses 3.0–3.6 V supply; lacks boot block lockout and has slower 90 µs byte programming | Acceptable for non-security-critical firmware storage where boot protection is not required | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for secure bootloader isolation |
| MX29LV010TC-55G | 1 Mbit, 55 ns, 2.7–3.6 V, but features uniform 64 KB sectors (no dedicated boot block); requires external lock mechanism | Suitable for general-purpose code storage where sector granularity matches update patterns | Prefer when application firmware is fully relocatable and does not require hard-coded boot region protection |
Compared with SST39VF010-55-4C-NHE and MX29LV010TC-55G, the AT49BV001AN-55VU uniquely delivers factory-configurable boot block lockout, faster 30 µs programming, and native support for parameter-block updates - making it optimal for systems demanding both security and field-serviceability.

FAQ
What is the function of Pin 9 on the AT49BV001AN-55VU?
Pin 9 on the AT49BV001AN-55VU is designated as NC (No Connect) per the official Atmel datasheet (3364D–FLASH–3/05). It is an unconnected terminal in the 32-lead VSOP package and must remain floating-no external connection or pull-up/pull-down is permitted. This differs from the PLCC variant where Pin 1 is NC.
Does the AT49BV001AN-55VU support boot block reprogramming after lockout is enabled?
Yes - the AT49BV001AN-55VU supports boot block reprogramming after lockout activation, but only by applying 12.0 V ± 0.5 V to the RESET pin during the entire erase or programming operation. This override feature is explicitly documented in Section 4.6.2 of the datasheet and is available on the AT49BV001AN-55VU variant.
What is the exact memory organization of the AT49BV001AN-55VU?
The AT49BV001AN-55VU organizes its 1 Mbit as 131,072 words × 8 bits (128K × 8). Its sector map includes: one 16 KB boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8 KB parameter blocks (1A000H–1BFFFH and 18000H–19FFFH), one 32 KB main memory block (10000H–17FFFH), and one 64 KB main memory block (00000H–0FFFFH).
How is program completion detected on the AT49BV001AN-55VU?
The AT49BV001AN-55VU supports two hardware-assisted program completion detection methods: DATA polling (reading the programmed byte yields complemented data on I/O7 until completion) and toggle-bit detection (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during programming and stabilizes upon completion). Both methods eliminate reliance on fixed timeout delays.
Is the AT49BV001AN-55VU compatible with 5 V microcontrollers?
Yes - the AT49BV001AN-55VU accepts 5 V–level command inputs (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.6 V max) and uses standard 5 V–compatible command sequences (e.g., 555H/AAH), enabling direct interface with 5 V microcontrollers while operating from a 2.7–3.6 V VCC supply. No level-shifting circuitry is required for control signals.
