Product details
Overview
AT49BV001NT-90VI from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 2.7–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable architecture with 30 µs/byte typical programming time, and hardware data protection - deployed in industrial firmware update modules requiring reliable boot code retention.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001NT-90VI datasheet, AT49BV001NT-90VI pinout, AT49BV001NT-90VI application, or AT49BV001NT-90VI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 16-Kbyte boot block with lockout capability, sector-erasable architecture (two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), TSOP/VSOP/PLCC/DIP package compatibility, and RESET-pin-based boot override at 12 V.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001NT-90VI implements a command-register-based Flash architecture with software-controlled sector and chip erase via six-cycle sequences (e.g., 5555h/AAh → 2AAAh/55h → 5555h/80h). Its memory map partitions 128K words into a relocatable 16-Kbyte boot block (address 1C000h–1FFFFh), two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes).
It supports standard EPROM-like read timing with CE/OE/WE dual-line control, DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) for program/erase completion detection, and hardware safeguards including VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and write-inhibit logic (OE low, CE high, or WE high blocks writes).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits) - supports full firmware images for 8-bit MCUs with space for bootloader + application. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max - ensures deterministic instruction fetch timing in real-time control loops. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - enables fast field updates of configuration parameters without system downtime. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max (chip erase) - balances speed and endurance for infrequent firmware upgrades. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - validated for long-life industrial deployments with periodic field updates. |
| Operating Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - compatible with battery-backed or low-voltage regulated power rails in portable equipment. |

Pinout & Package
AT49BV001NT-90VI is available in 32-lead VSOP (8 × 14 mm), TSOP (8 × 20 mm), PLCC, and PDIP packages. Pin functions are identical across packages per datasheet Figure 2 (VSOP/TSOP top view) and Figure 1 (PLCC/DIP top view); pin 9 (TSOP) and pin 1 (PLCC/DIP) are NC/DC.
| 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 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8051, Z80, and 68K-family microcontrollers without glue logic. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables device on shared bus only when asserted - prevents bus contention during multi-device operation. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; allows data readout while CE remains active - essential for interleaved read/write arbitration. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling edge - synchronizes command sequences with microprocessor write cycles. |
| RESET* | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs - also accepts 12 V for boot block override (not available on N-suffix variants). |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; CMOS standby current <50 µA enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-operated devices. |
| NC / DC | No Connect / Don't Connect | Pin 9 (TSOP), Pin 1 (PLCC/DIP) - must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines; no internal connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16-Kbyte protected region (1C000h–1FFFFh) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code - activated via 6-cycle command sequence; lockout status readable at 1C002h. |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent erasure of two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32K/64K) - enables modular firmware updates without full chip erase. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and OE/CE/WE inhibit logic eliminate spurious writes during power transients or EMI events - critical for automotive and industrial environments. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | I/O7 complement and I/O6 toggle provide real-time, bus-compatible program/erase status - eliminates need for external timers or interrupt handlers in host firmware. |
| 12 V RESET Override | Applying 12 V ±0.5 V to RESET pin unlocks boot block for reprogramming even after lockout - enables emergency recovery without device replacement. |

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 V supply; lacks 12 V RESET override and boot block lockout detection register. | Preferred where raw read speed dominates over boot security; not suitable for designs requiring certified bootloader protection. | Select if system prioritizes instruction fetch latency over firmware integrity mechanisms. |
| MX29LV010CTTI-90G | Same 90 ns access, 1 Mbit, 2.7–3.6 V; includes CFI query support and deeper power-down mode (1 µA), but no dedicated boot block lockout command set. | Better suited for consumer electronics with aggressive power budgets; requires external logic for boot protection. | Choose when CFI compatibility or sub-µA standby is mandatory, and boot security is handled externally. |
Compared with SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV010CTTI-90G, the AT49BV001NT-90VI uniquely integrates boot block lockout with hardware-reset override and sector-addressable erase - making it optimal for industrial and medical systems where firmware integrity and field recovery are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001NT-90VI?
The boot block for AT49BV001NT-90VI occupies addresses 1C000h to 1FFFFh (16 Kbytes). This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49BV001N), which locate the boot block at 00000h–03FFFh. The T-suffix denotes top-boot architecture, placing the protected region at the highest memory address - enabling seamless integration with Harvard-architecture MCUs that execute boot code from upper memory.
Does AT49BV001NT-90VI support 12 V programming or reset override?
Yes, AT49BV001NT-90VI supports 12 V ±0.5 V applied to the RESET pin to override boot block programming lockout during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming. This feature is explicitly documented for the (T) variant and is unavailable on N-suffix parts like AT49BV001N. The 12 V signal must be maintained throughout the entire operation and removed only after completion.
How does hardware data protection work in AT49BV001NT-90VI?
AT49BV001NT-90VI implements three hardware protections: (1) VCC sense disables programming if supply drops below ~1.8 V; (2) write inhibition occurs if OE is low, CE is high, or WE is high; and (3) input noise filtering rejects pulses <15 ns on CE/WE. These features prevent unintended writes during brownouts, bus glitches, or ESD events - ensuring data integrity in electrically noisy industrial environments.
Can AT49BV001NT-90VI be used in place of AT49BV001N-90VI?
No - AT49BV001NT-90VI and AT49BV001N-90VI are not pin-compatible or functionally interchangeable. The "T" suffix indicates top-boot architecture (boot block at 1C000h–1FFFFh) and includes RESET-pin 12 V override, while the "N" suffix denotes bottom-boot (00000h–03FFFh) without override capability. Swapping them risks incorrect boot vector execution and failed firmware updates.
What package options are available for AT49BV001NT-90VI?
AT49BV001NT-90VI is offered in four industry-standard packages: 32-lead VSOP (8 × 14 mm), TSOP (8 × 20 mm), PLCC, and PDIP. All share identical pinout and timing; the VI suffix denotes Industrial temperature grade (−40°C to +85°C). Package selection depends on board density (VSOP/TSOP for compact designs) and assembly method (PLCC/PDIP for through-hole prototyping).
