Product details
Overview
AT49BV001T-12JC from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 3V-only Flash memory IC with 120 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16KB boot block + two 8KB parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It supports in-system reprogramming via standard CE/OE/WE control and is used in embedded firmware storage for industrial controllers requiring nonvolatile code retention and field-upgradable boot code.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001T-12JC datasheet, AT49BV001T-12JC pinout, AT49BV001T-12JC application, or AT49BV001T-12JC equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, PLCC-32 package details, boot-block lockout behavior, sector erase timing, and direct alternatives for firmware storage design validation.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001T-12JC implements a CMOS-based NOR Flash architecture with internal program control logic and automatic erase timing. Its sector organization includes a relocatable 16KB boot block (address range 1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32KB and 64KB), enabling selective erasure without full-chip reset.
It uses standard microprocessor bus interface timing with CE/OE/WE dual-line control to prevent bus contention, supports DATA polling and Toggle Bit methods for end-of-program detection, and features VCC sense, noise filtering, and program inhibit logic for hardware-level write protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - supports full firmware image storage for 8-bit microcontrollers. |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns max - compatible with 8 MHz Z80 or 6502-based systems without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - operates across battery-voltage ranges, eliminating need for level shifters in 3V systems. |
| Active Current | 25 mA typical - enables low-power operation during firmware reads in portable instrumentation. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - ensures minimal quiescent draw in always-on industrial monitoring nodes. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max for full chip - allows predictable firmware update windows in field-deployed devices. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - supports multi-year field upgrade cycles in PLCs and HMI modules. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001T-12JC is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-leads, pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin PLCC footprints and socketable for programming and prototyping.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A16 selects upper memory region including relocated boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH). |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access; enables bus sharing with other peripherals. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to manage data bus contention during mixed-read/write system operations. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequences; critical for byte programming and sector erase initiation. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; carries command codes, product ID, and user data; supports DATA polling on I/O7 and Toggle Bit on I/O6. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing program/erase; applying 12 V ±0.5 V overrides boot block lockout - unique to T-suffix variants. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; decoupling required within 1 cm of pins to maintain 120 ns timing integrity. |
| DC / NC | No Connect | Pin 1 (PLCC) is DC (don't connect); no internal connection - must remain unconnected to avoid latch-up or timing skew. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Relocated Boot Block | 16 KB boot sector at 1C000H–1FFFFH enables secure bootloader placement outside default 00000H region, preventing accidental overwrite during main firmware updates. |
| Boot Block Lockout | Software-enabled permanent write protection for boot code when activated; override possible only with 12 V on RESET - ensures system reliability while retaining field recovery capability. |
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erase of two 8 KB parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32 KB/64 KB) allows modular firmware partitioning and incremental updates without full reflash. |
| Hardware Write Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and CE/OE/WE state monitoring prevent spurious writes during power transients or EMI events. |
| End-of-Operation Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) provide software-controlled, timing-independent verification of program/erase completion - eliminates fixed delay loops in host firmware. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV001T-12JI | Same die and pinout, but rated for -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range; 50 µA standby current identical, 25 mA active current identical. | Required for extended-temperature deployments (e.g., outdoor base stations, engine bay ECUs); not suitable for cost-sensitive commercial designs. | Select AT49BV001T-12JI when operating ambient exceeds 70°C or requires AEC-Q100 alignment; otherwise, AT49BV001T-12JC suffices for commercial-grade applications. |
| SST39VF010-70-4C-NHE | 1 Mbit Flash, 70 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V supply, PLCC-32; lacks boot block relocation (fixed 00000H–03FFFH), no 12 V RESET override, and uses different command set. | Compatible for basic firmware storage where boot block location is fixed and field recovery via 12 V is unnecessary; not suitable for systems requiring relocatable secure boot. | Choose SST39VF010-70-4C-NHE only if legacy design compatibility or lower unit cost is prioritized over boot block flexibility and 12 V recovery - verify command sequence mapping before substitution. |
Compared with AT49BV001T-12JI, the AT49BV001T-12JC trades extended temperature support for lower cost in commercial environments; compared with SST39VF010-70-4C-NHE, it provides relocatable boot block addressing and 12 V RESET override - critical for secure, upgradable embedded systems requiring field-recoverable boot code.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001T-12JC?
The AT49BV001T-12JC has its 16 KB boot block located at address range 1C000H to 1FFFFH - distinct from the base AT49BV001's 00000H–03FFFH range. This relocation avoids conflict with standard reset vectors and enables secure separation of bootloader and application code. The AT49BV001T-12JC supports boot block lockout activation via six-command sequence, and the lockout status can be verified by reading address 1C002H.
Does AT49BV001T-12JC support 12 V RESET override for boot block programming?
Yes, AT49BV001T-12JC 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 enabled in the T-suffix variant and is absent in N-suffix parts like AT49BV001N(T). The AT49BV001T-12JC must be returned to TTL levels after override to restore lockout protection.
What package type is used for AT49BV001T-12JC?
AT49BV001T-12JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (package code 32J), with J-leads and a 1.27 mm pitch. It is socket-compatible with standard PLCC-32 sockets and matches footprint dimensions of industry equivalents such as SST39VF010 and AM29LV010B, enabling drop-in replacement in existing layouts where voltage and timing align.
How does AT49BV001T-12JC handle end-of-program detection?
AT49BV001T-12JC provides two hardware-supported methods: DATA polling (I/O7 returns complement of loaded data until completion, then true data) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during operation, stops when complete). Both methods eliminate need for fixed delays in host firmware and are usable at any point during the 30–50 µs byte programming cycle. The AT49BV001T-12JC requires no external clocks or timers for reliable detection.
Is AT49BV001T-12JC compatible with 5 V systems?
No, AT49BV001T-12JC is a single 2.7–3.6 V supply device and is not 5 V tolerant. All inputs (including RESET, CE, OE, WE, and address lines) must remain within -0.6 V to VCC + 0.6 V per datasheet absolute maximum ratings. Applying 5 V to any pin risks permanent damage. For 5 V systems, level translation or selection of 5 V-compatible Flash (e.g., AT29C010) is required - AT49BV001T-12JC is strictly for 3 V embedded designs.
