Product details
Overview
AT49BV001NT-90JI from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 2.7–3.6V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory with 90 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16KB boot block + two 8KB parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It supports byte-by-byte programming (30 µs/byte typical), chip/sector erase (10 s max), and operates across –40°C to +85°C for industrial embedded firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001NT-90JI datasheet, AT49BV001NT-90JI pinout, AT49BV001NT-90JI application, or AT49BV001NT-90JI equivalent, key selection considerations include boot block lockout capability, RESET-pin-based override for reprogramming protected sectors, DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-operation detection, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing (CE/OE/WE control).
Technical Context
The AT49BV001NT-90JI implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte sequences for chip erase and sector erase, and four-byte sequences for byte programming. Its boot block (16KB, address range 1C000H–1FFFFH) supports permanent lockout via software command, with override enabled only when RESET is driven to 12 V ± 0.5 V - a feature absent in N(T) variants without 'T' suffix.
It uses standard EPROM-like read protocol (CE/OE low, WE high), supports TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.0 V, VIL = 0.6 V), and integrates hardware safeguards including VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and dual-line write inhibit (OE low or CE high blocks program cycles).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - sufficient for bootloader + configuration data in space-constrained microcontrollers. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns maximum - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in 10–12 MHz system buses without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic systems and battery-powered designs down to 2.7 V. |
| Active Current | 25 mA typical - limits power budget impact during firmware updates or boot code fetch. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - supports ultra-low-power sleep modes in portable or energy-harvesting devices. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds maximum for full chip - allows field firmware recovery within defined maintenance windows. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - meets industrial lifecycle requirements for infrequently updated configuration or calibration data. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001NT-90JI is supplied in a 32-lead PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package with 1.27 mm pitch, suitable for surface-mount reflow assembly and socketed prototyping. Pin 1 is marked by corner notch; pins 1 and 9 are DC (Do Not Connect) for PLCC and TSOP packages respectively.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A16 selects upper/lower half of memory map. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8051, Z80, and ARM7 bus protocols; high-impedance on deselect. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access - prevents bus contention in multi-device systems. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to gate data output - enables shared bus arbitration without external logic. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence - critical for reliable command entry timing. |
| RESET* | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V input enables boot block override - unique to T-suffix variants. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pins to maintain <90 ns timing integrity. |
| DC / NC | No-Connect | Pins 1 (PLCC) and 9 (TSOP) are unconnected - must remain floating; PCB layout must avoid routing or solder mask openings. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16KB sector (1C000H–1FFFFH) permanently protected after command activation - ensures bootloader integrity against accidental overwrite. |
| RESET-Based Boot Override | Applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to RESET pin during erase/program restores write access to locked boot block - enables secure field recovery without device replacement. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | I/O7 complement indicates programming progress; I/O6 toggling signals active erase/program - eliminates need for external timers or status registers. |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent 8KB parameter blocks and 32KB/64KB main memory blocks - allows selective firmware updates without full chip erase. |
| Hardware Write Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and CE/OE/WE interlock prevent spurious writes - critical for reliability in electrically noisy industrial environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE | 40 ns faster read (50 ns), same 1 Mbit density and 3.3 V supply, but lacks RESET-based boot override and uses different command set. | Higher performance read path suits XIP in faster MCUs; no 12 V override limits secure recovery options. | Select when speed > security; verify command compatibility before migration. |
| MX29LV010CTTI-90G | Same 90 ns timing and 2.7–3.6 V range, includes CFI compliance and 128-byte page programming - but boot block size is fixed at 16KB without lockout override. | CFI support simplifies auto-detection in generic programmers; no 12 V RESET override reduces field-service flexibility. | Select for standardized toolchain integration; accept reduced boot recovery capability. |
Compared with SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV010CTTI-90G, the AT49BV001NT-90JI uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, hardware boot lockout, and 12 V RESET override - making it optimal for safety-critical firmware storage where field recovery assurance is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001NT-90JI?
The boot block for AT49BV001NT-90JI occupies addresses 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 sector at the highest memory address - critical for correct linker script placement in bootloader development. AT49BV001NT-90JI's boot block location is fixed and cannot be remapped.
Does AT49BV001NT-90JI support 12 V programming voltage?
No, AT49BV001NT-90JI operates exclusively from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply for both read and write operations. The 12 V signal applies only to the RESET pin during boot block override - it does not power programming circuits or alter internal voltage generation. All command sequences, including byte programming and sector erase, execute at VCC levels. AT49BV001NT-90JI requires no external high-voltage generator.
How is the boot block lockout feature enabled on AT49BV001NT-90JI?
The boot block lockout on AT49BV001NT-90JI is enabled via a six-byte command sequence: write AAH to 5555H, 55H to 2AAAH, 80H to 5555H, AAH to 5555H, 55H to 2AAAH, then 40H to 5555H. After execution, reads from address 1C002H return high on I/O0, confirming activation. Once set, lockout persists until power cycle - and can only be overridden by applying 12 V to RESET during subsequent operations. AT49BV001NT-90JI does not support hardware reset-based deactivation.
What package type is used for AT49BV001NT-90JI?
AT49BV001NT-90JI uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as 32J in Atmel's ordering nomenclature. It features a 1.27 mm lead pitch, J-shaped gull-wing leads, and a ceramic-filled plastic body rated for industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C). Pin 1 is identified by a corner notch; pins 1 and 9 are DC (Do Not Connect) - PCB layout must leave them unconnected and un-routed.
Can AT49BV001NT-90JI be used in place of AT49BV001N-90JI?
No, AT49BV001NT-90JI is not a drop-in replacement for AT49BV001N-90JI due to architectural differences: the 'T' suffix indicates top-boot organization (boot block at 1C000H–1FFFFH) versus bottom-boot (00000H–03FFFH) in 'N' variants, and AT49BV001NT-90JI includes RESET-based boot override while AT49BV001N-90JI does not. Software command sequences differ, and memory map alignment affects linker configuration. Migration requires firmware and PCB review. AT49BV001NT-90JI must be selected intentionally for top-boot and override capability.
