Product details
Overview
AT49BV001AT-55JI from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply Flash memory IC designed for in-system reprogrammability in embedded boot code storage applications. It operates from 2.7V to 3.6V, delivers 55 ns read access time, supports byte-by-byte programming at 30 µs/byte, and features hardware data protection with 10,000 write/erase cycles.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001AT-55JI datasheet, AT49BV001AT-55JI pinout, AT49BV001AT-55JI application, or AT49BV001AT-55JI equivalent, this device serves as a battery-voltage-compatible, sector-erasable Flash solution for industrial microcontroller boot memory where reliable, low-power nonvolatile storage and field-upgradable firmware are required.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001AT-55JI implements a standard parallel Flash architecture with CE/OE/WE control logic, supporting EPROM-like read timing and command-based programming/erasure. Its memory map is partitioned into one 16K-byte boot block (address range 1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K + 64K bytes).
It uses internal program control and timers to execute erase and program operations without external clocks; chip erase completes in ≤5 seconds, sector erase is supported per defined address ranges, and DATA polling (I/O7 complement) or Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) provides cycle completion detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits); sufficient for compact boot loaders and configuration data in space-constrained designs. |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns max; enables direct interface with 16–20 MHz microcontrollers without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V; compatible with single Li-ion or 3.3 V system rails, eliminating level-shifting requirements. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical; allows rapid field updates of small firmware patches without long downtime. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 3 seconds typical for full chip or sector erase; supports fast reconfiguration during maintenance or recovery. |
| End-of-Operation Detection | DATA polling (I/O7) and Toggle Bit (I/O6); eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware. |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles; validated for long-term deployment in industrial firmware update scenarios. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS; minimizes quiescent power draw in always-on or battery-backed systems. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001AT-55JI is packaged in a 32-lead PLCC (32J) with JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE compliance. Pin 1 identifier is marked by a corner chamfer; package dimensions: 12.45 mm × 12.45 mm × 3.35 mm (max height).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word addressing; A11 is don't-care in command sequences. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low enable controlling device selection; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; used with CE to prevent bus contention during shared-memory bus operation. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control for write/program/erase command latching; falling edge latches address, rising edge latches data. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data I/O Bus | Bidirectional 8-bit data path; supports byte-wide reads, writes, and status polling (I/O6, I/O7). |
| RESET* | Reset Input | Active-low reset; when driven to 12 V ±0.5 V, overrides boot block lockout-unique to AT49BV001AT variant. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply input; powers core logic and I/O buffers; internal voltage sensing inhibits programming if <1.8 V. |
| GND | Ground | Reference for all signals and power; decoupling capacitor placement near this pin is critical for noise immunity. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 in PLCC package is unconnected; must remain floating-no tie to VCC, GND, or signal lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | 16K-byte boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH) supports permanent firmware protection via command sequence; lockout override enabled only with 12 V on RESET pin. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibit (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes). |
| Fast In-System Reprogrammability | No high-voltage programming required; 5 V–compatible command set enables field updates using standard 3.3 V system logic. |
| Low-Power Operation | 15 mA active current and 50 µA CMOS standby current reduce thermal load and extend battery life in portable or remote systems. |
| Robust End-of-Cycle Signaling | Dual methods-DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling)-provide deterministic, software-driven timing control. |

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 SST's SuperFlash technology with faster erase (10 ms sector, 30 ms chip) and no RESET-based boot lockout override. | Lacks 12 V RESET override; boot protection relies solely on software lock bits-less resilient to firmware bugs that disable lock commands. | Choose when faster erase performance is prioritized over boot block reprogrammability under field conditions. |
| MX29LV160CBTI-55G | 16 Mbit density, 55 ns access, CFI-compliant command set; includes CFI query mode and wider voltage range (2.7–3.6 V), but larger footprint (48-pin TSOP). | Higher density suits complex bootloaders; however, pinout and command set differ-requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation. | Choose when future scalability to larger firmware images is anticipated and layout flexibility exists for 48-pin package. |
Compared with SST39VF010-55-4C-NHE and MX29LV160CBTI-55G, the AT49BV001AT-55JI uniquely balances proven industrial reliability, 12 V–enabled boot block recovery, and drop-in compatibility with legacy 32-pin PLCC layouts-making it optimal for maintaining existing designs while ensuring field-serviceable firmware integrity.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001AT-55JI?
The AT49BV001AT-55JI boot block occupies addresses 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16K bytes). This differs from the base AT49BV001A(N), which uses 00000H–03FFFH. The relocated boot sector enables flexible memory mapping in systems where lower address space is reserved for RAM or peripherals.
Does AT49BV001AT-55JI support 12 V programming override?
Yes - the AT49BV001AT-55JI supports 12 V ±0.5 V applied to the RESET pin to override boot block programming lockout during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming. This feature is absent in AT49BV001AN(T) variants and is explicitly documented for the AT49BV001AT family.
What package type is used for AT49BV001AT-55JI?
AT49BV001AT-55JI uses the 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as 32J per Atmel's ordering information. Its dimensions conform to JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE, with pin 1 identified by a corner chamfer.
How does hardware data protection work in AT49BV001AT-55JI?
AT49BV001AT-55JI implements three hardware protections: (1) VCC sense disables programming below ~1.8 V; (2) holding OE low, CE high, or WE high inhibits write cycles; and (3) a noise filter rejects input pulses shorter than 15 ns on WE or CE pins-preventing spurious commands from EMI or glitches.
Can AT49BV001AT-55JI be used in place of AT49BV001A-55JI?
No - AT49BV001AT-55JI and AT49BV001A-55JI have different boot block address mappings (1C000H–1FFFFH vs. 00000H–03FFFH) and distinct device identification codes (04H vs. 05H). Firmware relying on boot sector location or ID reading will not function interchangeably without modification.
