Product details
Overview
AT49BV001NT-90TI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 3V-only Flash memory IC designed for in-system reprogrammability in embedded boot code storage. It features 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase cycle, byte-programming at 30 µs/byte typical, and hardware data protection with 10,000 write/erase cycles. It is used in microcontroller-based systems requiring secure, field-upgradable firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001NT-90TI datasheet, AT49BV001NT-90TI pinout, AT49BV001NT-90TI application, or AT49BV001NT-90TI equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), TSOP/VSOP/PLCC/DIP package compatibility, boot block programming lockout (16 KB, address 1C000H–1FFFFH), sector architecture, and 2.7–3.6 V supply operation.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001NT-90TI implements a command-register-based architecture with six-byte software command sequences for chip erase, sector erase, byte programming, and boot block lockout enable. Its sector layout includes one 16-Kbyte boot block, two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32 KB and 64 KB), enabling selective erasure without affecting protected firmware.
It supports standard EPROM-like read timing with CE/OE/WE control, DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) methods for program/erase completion detection, and hardware safeguards including VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and input-level-dependent boot block override (12 V on RESET).

| 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 prevent bus contention during shared-memory access. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V input enables boot block override. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; CMOS standby current <50 µA enables low-power retention in sleep modes. |
| NC / DC | No Connect / Don't Connect | Unused pins (pin 9 in TSOP/VSOP; pin 1 in PLCC/PDIP); must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16-Kbyte region (1C000H–1FFFFH) permanently protected after lockout enable; prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code. |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent erasure of two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32 KB/64 KB) enables modular firmware updates. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and dual-line (CE/OE) write inhibit prevent spurious programming 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 during erase/program bypasses boot block lockout - enables emergency recovery without hardware redesign. |

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 vs. 90 ns); 3.3 V only (3.0–3.6 V); same 1 Mbit density and TSOP32 package. | Lacks boot block lockout and 12 V RESET override; uses different command set (SST proprietary). | Preferred when higher read performance is critical and bootloader protection is handled externally. |
| MX29LV001CTTI-90G | Same 90 ns access, 2.7–3.6 V supply, and industrial temp rating; includes CFI-compliant command set and 16 KB boot sector. | Boot sector address differs (00000H–03FFFH); no 12 V RESET override; requires CFI-aware host driver. | Recommended for new designs needing CFI standardization and broader toolchain support, with trade-off in recovery flexibility. |
Compared with SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV001CTTI-90G, the AT49BV001NT-90TI uniquely combines industrial temperature operation, hardware-enforced boot block protection with 12 V override, and Atmel's mature command-set ecosystem - making it optimal for legacy system maintenance where bootloader integrity and field recovery are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001NT-90TI?
The boot block address range for AT49BV001NT-90TI is 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16 Kbytes), distinct from the base AT49BV001N variant (00000H–03FFFH). This offset accommodates top-of-memory bootloader placement and is confirmed in the "Notes" section of the datasheet (page 6, note 2) and sector map (page 4). The AT49BV001NT-90TI's boot block lockout feature operates exclusively within this range.
Does AT49BV001NT-90TI support 12 V RESET override for boot block programming?
Yes, AT49BV001NT-90TI supports 12 V ±0.5 V applied to the RESET pin during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming to override the boot block programming lockout. This capability is explicitly documented in the "BOOT BLOCK PROGRAMMING LOCKOUT OVERRIDE" section (page 5) and is unavailable on N-suffix variants (e.g., AT49BV001N). The AT49BV001NT-90TI retains this feature as a critical field-recovery mechanism.
What package types are offered for AT49BV001NT-90TI?
AT49BV001NT-90TI is offered in four industry-standard 32-lead packages: TSOP (32T, 8 × 20 mm), VSOP (32V, 8 × 14 mm), PLCC (32J), and PDIP (32P6). All share identical pinout and functionality per datasheet pages 19–20 ordering tables. The "TI" suffix denotes industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C) and is available across all package types.
How does hardware data protection work in AT49BV001NT-90TI?
AT49BV001NT-90TI implements three hardware data protection mechanisms: (1) VCC sense circuitry inhibits programming if supply drops below ~1.8 V; (2) simultaneous assertion of OE low, CE high, or WE high blocks write cycles; and (3) built-in noise filters reject input pulses shorter than 15 ns on CE/WE. These features are detailed in the "HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION" section (page 6) and ensure robustness against power glitches and EMI in industrial environments - a core design requirement for the AT49BV001NT-90TI.
What is the maximum erase time for AT49BV001NT-90TI?
The maximum erase time for AT49BV001NT-90TI is 10 seconds for full chip erase, as specified in the "Features" list (page 1) and "Program Cycle Characteristics" table (page 10). Sector erase times are not individually specified but are substantially faster; the device internally manages timing, eliminating external clock dependencies. This 10-second tEC value is guaranteed across the industrial temperature range and applies to both commercial and industrial-grade variants of the AT49BV001NT-90TI.
