Product details
Overview
AT49BV001NT-12TC 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), hardware data protection, and DATA polling for end-of-program detection. It is used in embedded firmware storage for industrial controllers requiring field-upgradable boot code.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001NT-12TC datasheet, AT49BV001NT-12TC pinout, AT49BV001NT-12TC application, or AT49BV001NT-12TC equivalent, key selection criteria include boot block lockout capability, 120 ns read timing, TSOP-32 package compatibility, sector erase flexibility, and 10,000 write/erase cycle endurance under industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT49BV001NT-12TC implements a command-register-based programming interface using standard microprocessor CE/OE/WE control lines, supporting byte-by-byte programming (30 µs typical), software-controlled sector or chip erase, and toggle-bit or DATA polling for operation completion detection. Its internal logic handles voltage-level-sensitive boot block lockout activation and override via 12 V RESET input.
It features dual-line bus contention prevention (CE+OE active-low read), VCC sense circuitry inhibiting program operations below 1.8 V, and noise filtering rejecting sub-15 ns pulses on WE/CE. The device supports hardware and software product identification modes, with manufacturer code 1FH and device code 04H specific to the (N)T variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - directly maps to 128 KB firmware image storage |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns max - determines minimum CPU wait-state insertion for 8-bit parallel bus interfacing |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct connection to 3.3 V system rails without level-shifting |
| Active Current | 25 mA typical - defines peak power budget during read bursts in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - ensures ultra-low quiescent draw during firmware idle periods |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max (chip or sector) - sets worst-case firmware update latency for field reprogramming |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - quantifies lifetime for applications requiring frequent parameter updates |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001NT-12TC is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type 1, 8 × 20 mm), pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin Flash memory footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A16 required for accessing upper memory blocks |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; supports byte-wide reads/writes without multiplexing |
| 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 gate; enables data bus drivers only when CE is also low |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during programming/erase command sequences |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-impedance outputs; 12 V input enables boot block override |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V primary supply; powers core logic, I/O buffers, and internal charge pumps |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 16 in TSOP package - must remain unconnected per datasheet; not internally bonded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16 KB protected region (address 1C000H–1FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of critical boot code; enabled via 6-cycle command sequence |
| Sector Architecture | Independent erasability of two 8 KB parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32 KB + 64 KB) enables modular firmware updates without full chip erase |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and CE/OE/WE interlock prevent spurious writes during power transients or EMI events |
| 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 |
| 12 V RESET Override | Applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to RESET pin temporarily disables boot block lockout during chip/sector erase or byte programming |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV001NT-12TI | Same die and pinout, but packaged in TSOP-32 with industrial temperature rating (−40°C to +85°C); identical 120 ns timing and boot block layout | Identical functional use case; differs only in packaging and screening-no design change required | Select when board-level thermal validation confirms sustained operation above 70°C ambient |
| SST39VF010-120-4C-NHE | 1 Mbit Flash with 120 ns access, but uses different command set (SST proprietary), no 12 V RESET override, and lacks boot block lockout override capability | Requires firmware driver rewrite for command sequences; unsuitable where boot block reprogramming under lockout is mandatory | Choose only if SST's faster byte-program time (10 µs vs. 30 µs) outweighs loss of Atmel-specific security features |
Compared with AT49BV001NT-12TC, the AT49BV001NT-12TI offers identical functionality in an industrial-grade screened package, while SST39VF010-120-4C-NHE provides comparable speed but sacrifices boot block security flexibility and requires command-set adaptation.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001NT-12TC?
The boot block for AT49BV001NT-12TC occupies addresses 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16 KB). This differs from non-(T) variants, which locate the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The (T) suffix denotes this relocated boot sector, confirmed in the datasheet's memory map and command definitions section.
Does AT49BV001NT-12TC support 12 V RESET override for boot block programming?
Yes, AT49BV001NT-12TC supports 12 V RESET override: applying 12.0 V ± 0.5 V to the RESET pin during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming temporarily disables the boot block lockout feature. This capability is explicitly documented for the (T) variant and is not available on (N)(T) or (N) versions without the T suffix.
What package type is used by AT49BV001NT-12TC?
AT49BV001NT-12TC uses a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type 1, 8 × 20 mm), designated as package code "32T" in Atmel's ordering information. Pin 16 is NC (no connect), and the package is compatible with standard 32-pin Flash memory footprints.
How does DATA polling work on AT49BV001NT-12TC?
During programming, reading the last loaded byte returns the complement of the data on I/O7 until completion; once valid, true data appears. This allows host firmware to poll without fixed delays. AT49BV001NT-12TC implements this per the datasheet's DATA Polling Waveforms and Characteristics table, with tDH ≥ 10 ns hold requirement.
Is AT49BV001NT-12TC compatible with 5 V systems?
No, AT49BV001NT-12TC operates exclusively at 2.7–3.6 V and is not 5 V tolerant. All inputs (including OE) are rated only to VCC + 0.6 V, and absolute maximum ratings prohibit >6.25 V on any pin. Interfacing with 5 V buses requires level translation, as confirmed in the DC Characteristics and Absolute Maximum Ratings sections.
