Product details
Overview
AT49BV001NT-90JC from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 2.7–3.6 V Flash memory IC with 70 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 program completion detection. It serves as nonvolatile storage for firmware boot code and configuration data in embedded microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001NT-90JC datasheet, AT49BV001NT-90JC pinout, AT49BV001NT-90JC application, or AT49BV001NT-90JC equivalent, key selection considerations include its PLCC-32 package, 90 ns erase cycle timing, boot block programming lockout feature, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus interfaces using CE/OE/WE control.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001NT-90JC implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte software sequences for chip/sector erase and boot lockout enable. Its sector erase supports independent erasure of parameter blocks (8 KB each) and main memory blocks (32 KB and 64 KB), with boot block address range fixed at 1C000H–1FFFFH.
It uses standard EPROM-like read timing with dual-line CE/OE control to prevent bus contention, and supports both DATA polling (I/O7 complement toggle) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) methods for detecting program/erase completion. RESET pin functionality is disabled on this N(T) variant - no reset-driven boot override capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - enables direct battery-voltage operation without level-shifting |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns - determines maximum sustained read throughput in microprocessor bus cycles |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds - defines minimum latency for full-chip or sector reprogramming |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - sets write granularity and firmware update overhead per byte |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - specifies field lifetime under frequent firmware updates |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - enables low-power retention in always-on embedded systems |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001NT-90JC is housed in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with gull-wing leads, compatible with standard surface-mount reflow profiles and socketed programming fixtures.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing (A0–A16) |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; latched on rising edge of WE/CE during programming |
| 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 control; used with CE to manage bus contention during reads |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates command latching and byte programming cycles |
| RESET | Reset Input | DC-connected (no reset function); not usable for boot override on NT variants |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V primary supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and analog circuitry |
| NC / DC | No Connect / Don't Connect | Unbonded pins (PLCC pin 1, DIP/TSOP pin 9); must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16 KB protected region (1C000H–1FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of critical boot firmware |
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erasure of two 8 KB parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32 KB + 64 KB) enables modular firmware updates |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibition prevent spurious writes |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual real-time status reporting (I/O7 complement, I/O6 toggle) eliminates need for fixed delay timers during programming |
| Single 2.7–3.6 V Operation | Eliminates need for 5 V or 12 V programming supplies - simplifies power design and PCB layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV001T-90JC | Same density, speed, and PLCC-32 package; includes functional RESET pin for boot override | Enables recovery from corrupted boot block via 12 V RESET pulse - required where field-recoverability is mandatory | Select when boot block reprogrammability after lockout is essential; otherwise AT49BV001NT-90JC offers simpler reset handling |
| SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE | 1 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; different command set and sector map (32 × 4 KB), no boot lockout | Lacks dedicated boot block protection; requires external logic or firmware for secure bootloader isolation | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where boot security is managed in software; verify timing compatibility with existing CE/OE/WE interface |
Compared with AT49BV001T-90JC, the AT49BV001NT-90JC removes RESET functionality to simplify system reset architecture but forfeits hardware-based boot recovery. Against SST39VF010, it trades sector flexibility for stronger built-in boot integrity - critical in safety-certified systems.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001NT-90JC?
The boot block address range for AT49BV001NT-90JC is 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16 KB). This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49BV001N), which use 00000H–03FFFH. The T suffix denotes top-boot architecture, placing the protected region at the highest memory addresses - a key detail for linker script and firmware partitioning in AT49BV001NT-90JC implementations.
Does AT49BV001NT-90JC support hardware reset-driven boot block override?
No, AT49BV001NT-90JC does not support hardware reset-driven boot block override. The RESET pin is DC-connected (not functional) on all N(T) variants, including AT49BV001NT-90JC. Unlike the T-only version (AT49BV001T-90JC), this part lacks the 12 V RESET override capability - once boot lockout is enabled, only full chip erase (with lockout disabled) can restore write access to the boot block.
What package type is used for AT49BV001NT-90JC?
AT49BV001NT-90JC uses a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as 32J in Atmel's ordering nomenclature. This surface-mount package features gull-wing leads, is RoHS-compliant, and supports standard reflow soldering profiles - making it suitable for automated assembly in industrial and medical electronics manufacturing.
How does the sector architecture of AT49BV001NT-90JC support firmware updates?
The AT49BV001NT-90JC sector architecture - one 16 KB boot block, two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32 KB and 64 KB) - enables atomic, non-disruptive firmware updates. Critical boot code remains isolated in the locked boot block while application firmware resides in main memory blocks, and configuration data is stored in parameter blocks - allowing independent erasure and reprogramming without risking system startup integrity in AT49BV001NT-90JC deployments.
What is the maximum erase time for a full chip erase on AT49BV001NT-90JC?
The maximum erase time for a full chip erase on AT49BV001NT-90JC is 10 seconds, as specified in the datasheet under tEC (Erase Cycle Time). This applies when the boot block lockout is disabled; if enabled, chip erase affects only parameter blocks and main memory blocks (excluding the boot block), but the 10-second timing remains unchanged. This value is characterized, not 100% tested, and represents worst-case timing for AT49BV001NT-90JC under commercial temperature conditions.
