Product details
Overview
AT49BV001ANT-55JI 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, 3-second chip erase, 30 µs/byte programming, and hardware data protection. It features sector architecture including a 16K-byte boot block with programmable lockout, used for secure firmware storage in embedded microcontroller boot loaders.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001ANT-55JI datasheet, AT49BV001ANT-55JI pinout, AT49BV001ANT-55JI application, or AT49BV001ANT-55JI equivalent, key selection considerations include its PLCC-32 industrial-grade packaging, boot-block write protection logic, DATA polling/toggle-bit program verification, and compatibility with standard EPROM-like bus interface timing.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001ANT-55JI implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte software sequences for chip/sector erase and boot-lock enable, with internal timing eliminating external clocks. Its memory map allocates the boot block at 1C000H–1FFFFH, distinct from the AT49BV001A(N) variant's 00000H–03FFFH range.
It supports standard microprocessor read/write timing with CE/OE/WE control, includes VCC sense and noise filtering for inadvertent-write prevention, and uses DATA polling on I/O7 or toggle-bit detection on I/O6 to signal program/erase completion - both usable at any point during the operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns - enables direct replacement of 55 ns EPROMs without timing redesign |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - operates from single battery or low-voltage rail, no 5 V required |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - supports fast field updates of small code/data segments |
| Chip Erase Time | 3 seconds max - enables rapid full-memory reinitialization in production or recovery |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - suitable for firmware update applications with moderate revision frequency |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - minimizes quiescent power in always-on embedded systems |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001ANT-55JI is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32), JEDEC MS-016 compliant, with body dimensions 12.4 mm × 12.4 mm × 3.4 mm (max height). Pin 1 identifier is a corner chamfer; pin 1 is NC (no connect) per datasheet note.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A11–A16 don't care in some command cycles |
| 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 gate; controls data bus tristate to prevent contention during shared-bus operation |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command cycle timing |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; carries command data, product ID codes, and memory contents |
| RESET* | Reset Input | Active-low reset; high-to-low transition halts ongoing operations; 12 V override enables boot-block reprogramming (not available on AN variant) |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 in PLCC package - physically present but unconnected internally |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; GND reference for all signals and internal logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16K-byte sector (1C000H–1FFFFH) permanently protected after command sequence; prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), WE/CE/OE logic interlock, and 15 ns noise filter prevent spurious writes |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | I/O7 complement indicates program completion; I/O6 toggling signals active erase/program - eliminates need for fixed delay timers |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent 8K-byte parameter blocks + 32K/64K main blocks allow selective updates without full-chip erase |
| In-System Reprogrammability | No high-voltage programmer required; standard 5 V logic levels execute all commands via software sequences |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Bootloader Memory |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing immutable bootloader and calibration tables in programmable logic controllers deployed in factory automation environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile storage for startup firmware and field-updatable configuration data; accessed during power-on reset and runtime parameter reads.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Persistent storage for boot images and runtime configuration, accessed by MIPS/ARM host processors during cold/warm boot. Use Value: Standard EPROM-compatible interface simplifies integration into legacy designs; DATA polling reduces host CPU polling overhead during firmware load. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV001A-55JI | Boot block located at 00000H–03FFFH; RESET pin lacks 12 V override capability | Preferred where boot code resides in lowest memory region and permanent lockout suffices | Select when system design uses base-address boot vector and does not require field-serviceable boot reprogramming |
| SST39VF010-55-4C-NHE | 55 ns access, 3.3 V only, 1 Mbit density; no RESET pin; uses different command set and lacks boot-block lockout | Used where simplified command interface and lower cost outweigh boot security requirements | Choose for cost-sensitive consumer applications lacking bootloader integrity mandates |
Compared with AT49BV001A-55JI, the AT49BV001ANT-55JI provides relocated boot block addressing and RESET-based override for field reprogramming, while SST39VF010 offers simpler command architecture but no hardware-enforced boot protection - making AT49BV001ANT-55JI optimal for safety-critical embedded boot storage.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001ANT-55JI?
The boot block for AT49BV001ANT-55JI occupies address range 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16K bytes), distinct from the AT49BV001A(N) variant's 00000H–03FFFH mapping. This relocation accommodates systems requiring higher-address boot vectors. The boot block programming lockout feature, once enabled, prevents writes to this region unless overridden via 12 V applied to the RESET pin during programming - a capability confirmed for the AT49BV001ANT-55JI per datasheet Rev. 3364C.
Does AT49BV001ANT-55JI support 5 V-only programming commands?
Yes, AT49BV001ANT-55JI uses standard 5 V logic-level commands (e.g., 555H/AAH, AAH/55H) for all operations including read, chip erase, sector erase, byte programming, and boot lock enable - despite operating from a 2.7–3.6 V supply. This eliminates need for external voltage translators. The device interprets command sequences based on timing and data patterns, not supply voltage level, enabling compatibility with legacy 5 V microprocessor buses while maintaining low-power operation.
How is program completion detected on AT49BV001ANT-55JI?
AT49BV001ANT-55JI supports two hardware-confirmed methods: DATA polling on I/O7 (complement of written data appears until completion, then true data) and toggle-bit detection on I/O6 (toggles between 0/1 during operation, stabilizes upon finish). Both methods are usable at any time during programming and eliminate reliance on fixed tBP delays. These mechanisms are validated in the AC characteristics table and waveform diagrams of the AT49BV001ANT-55JI datasheet.
What is the function of the NC pin on AT49BV001ANT-55JI PLCC package?
Pin 1 of the AT49BV001ANT-55JI in PLCC-32 package is designated NC (No Connect) - physically present but electrically unconnected internally. This is explicitly documented in the "Note" section of the PLCC top-view diagram and confirmed in the ordering information table. It must remain unconnected in PCB layout; routing or pulling this pin affects neither functionality nor reliability of the AT49BV001ANT-55JI.
Can AT49BV001ANT-55JI be used in place of AT49BV001AN-55JI?
No - AT49BV001ANT-55JI and AT49BV001AN-55JI are not interchangeable due to critical functional differences: the ANT variant includes RESET-pin 12 V override for boot-block reprogramming and locates the boot block at 1C000H–1FFFFH, while the AN variant has no RESET override and places the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. Substituting one for the other risks boot corruption or failed field updates unless firmware and hardware are co-validated for the specific memory map and protection scheme of the AT49BV001ANT-55JI.
