Product details
Overview
AT49BV001NT-12JC from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 2.7–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory with 120 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16 KB boot block + two 8 KB parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It supports byte-by-byte programming (50 µs typical), chip/sector erase (10 s max), and DATA polling for end-of-program detection - used in embedded firmware storage for industrial controllers and legacy BIOS modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001NT-12JC datasheet, AT49BV001NT-12JC pinout, AT49BV001NT-12JC application, or AT49BV001NT-12JC equivalent, key selection considerations include its PLCC-32 package, boot block lockout capability (address range 1C000H–1FFFFH), 10,000 write cycles endurance, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing (CE/OE/WE control).
Technical Context
The AT49BV001NT-12JC implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte sequences for chip erase and sector erase, and four-byte sequences for byte programming. Its internal logic handles voltage generation and timing without external high-voltage inputs, enabling true 3V-only operation.
It features dual-level hardware protection: VCC sense inhibits programming below 1.8 V, and noise filtering rejects sub-15 ns pulses on CE/WE. The RESET pin supports boot block override at 12 V (not available on N(T) variants), but AT49BV001NT-12JC excludes this function per datasheet note.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - fits full boot code + configuration data in legacy 8-bit systems. |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns maximum - meets timing for 8 MHz Z80/8086-compatible buses with standard wait-state logic. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with battery-backed or low-voltage industrial power rails, no 5 V required. |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - sufficient for field firmware updates over 5+ years in maintenance-critical equipment. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - enables ultra-low-power retention in always-on monitoring subsystems. |
| Erase Time | 10 seconds maximum for full chip erase - predictable latency for automated reprogramming sequences. |
| Boot Block Size | 16 KB (1C000H–1FFFFH) with programmable lockout - isolates secure bootloader from user-modifiable application sectors. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001NT-12JC uses a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with 1.27 mm lead pitch and body size 11.43 mm × 13.97 mm. Pin 1 is index corner; pin 9 is NC (no connect) per datasheet Figure 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A16 enables access beyond 64K boundary. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8086/8051-style data transfers; high-impedance when deselected. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access - prevents bus contention. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data assertion independently of CE - enables memory-mapped I/O sharing. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence timing. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low system reset; forces outputs to high-Z and halts ongoing operations - not used for boot override in NT variant. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; decoupling required within 1 cm due to 25 mA active current and fast edge rates. |
| DC / NC | No Connect | Pin 9 (DC) is unconnected; must be left floating - no tie-high/tie-low or routing required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erasure of two 8 KB parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32 KB + 64 KB) enables modular firmware updates without full reflash. |
| Boot Block Lockout | Hardware-enforced write protection for 16 KB boot sector (1C000H–1FFFFH); once enabled, prevents accidental corruption of bootloader code. |
| DATA Polling Detection | I/O7 complements last programmed byte during write cycle - allows real-time polling without status registers or extra pins. |
| Toggle Bit Feedback | I/O6 toggles during erase/program - provides asynchronous completion signal usable with any address, simplifying interrupt-driven firmware. |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | VCC sense, noise filtering, and CE/OE/WE state checking prevent spurious writes - eliminates need for external write-protect logic in noisy environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Legacy Embedded BIOS Modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV001T-12JC | No boot block lockout override via RESET pin; identical timing, voltage, and pinout. | Lacks 12 V RESET override - unsuitable where field recovery of locked boot block is required. | Select AT49BV001T-12JC only if boot block lockout is never disabled post-deployment. |
| SST39VF010-120-4C-NHE | 40 ns faster read (80 ns vs. 120 ns); 3.3 V only (3.0–3.6 V); same 1 Mbit density and PLCC-32 package. | Higher performance for real-time systems; lacks boot block lockout - requires software-managed protection. | Choose SST39VF010-120-4C-NHE when speed > protection, and firmware integrity is enforced by host MCU. |
Compared with AT49BV001T-12JC, the AT49BV001NT-12JC adds boot block lockout detection via software ID mode (read 1C002H), while SST39VF010-120-4C-NHE trades lockout for faster access and tighter VCC tolerance - making AT49BV001NT-12JC optimal for safety-critical legacy platforms needing hardware-enforced boot integrity.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001NT-12JC?
The boot block for AT49BV001NT-12JC occupies address range 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16 KB). This differs from non-T variants (00000H–03FFFH) and is confirmed in the datasheet's "Notes" section and sector map. The AT49BV001NT-12JC uses the T-series memory map, and its boot block lockout feature applies exclusively to this region.
Does AT49BV001NT-12JC support 12 V RESET override for boot block reprogramming?
No, AT49BV001NT-12JC does not support 12 V RESET override. The datasheet explicitly states "RESET feature is not available on the AT49BV/LV001N(T)" and confirms the RESET pin is DC (don't connect) on N(T) variants. Therefore, once boot block lockout is enabled on AT49BV001NT-12JC, it cannot be disabled - design must account for permanent protection.
What package type is used by AT49BV001NT-12JC?
AT49BV001NT-12JC uses a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as "32J" in Atmel's ordering information. The datasheet specifies pin 1 as index corner and pin 9 as NC (no connect), consistent across all PLCC variants of the AT49BV001N(T) family.
How many program/erase cycles is AT49BV001NT-12JC rated for?
AT49BV001NT-12JC is rated for a minimum of 10,000 program/erase cycles, as stated in the "Features" section and confirmed in the "Device Operation" text. This endurance applies to all sectors including boot, parameter, and main memory blocks under specified VCC and temperature conditions.
Can AT49BV001NT-12JC be used as a direct replacement for AT29BV010?
No, AT49BV001NT-12JC is not a direct replacement for AT29BV010. While both are 1 Mbit 3V Flash devices, AT29BV010 uses a different command set, lacks sector architecture (uniform 64 KB erase), and has distinct timing parameters (e.g., 90 ns access). Interchange requires validation of command compatibility, timing margins, and lockout behavior - AT49BV001NT-12JC must be integrated using its documented command sequences.
