Product details
Overview
AT49BV001T-12JI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 2.7–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 120 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16 KB boot block + two 8 KB parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It is used for firmware storage and boot code retention in industrial embedded controllers requiring nonvolatile, field-upgradable memory.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001T-12JI datasheet, AT49BV001T-12JI pinout, AT49BV001T-12JI application, or AT49BV001T-12JI equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-chain-ready availability details - all grounded in the official 1110C–FLASH–9/03 datasheet and Microchip's ordering documentation.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001T-12JI implements a command-register-based programming model using standard microprocessor timing, with WE/CE-controlled bus cycles for read, byte program, sector erase, chip erase, and boot lockout enable. Its internal logic handles erase timing autonomously without external clocks.
It features dual protection mechanisms: hardware-level VCC sensing (<1.8 V inhibits programming) and software-configurable boot block lockout (enabled via six-cycle command sequence), where the 16 KB boot sector resides at address 1C000H–1FFFFH and remains programmable only when RESET is driven to 12 V ± 0.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits), organized as 128K words × 8 bits |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns - defines maximum clock-to-data delay in microcontroller interface timing budgets |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct battery-voltage operation without level-shifting in 3 V systems |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - determines minimum write latency per byte during firmware updates |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max - sets worst-case duration for full-chip or sector erase operations |
| End-of-Program Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed delays in host firmware |
| Boot Block Size & Location | 16 KB at 1C000H–1FFFFH - reserved for secure boot loader code with optional permanent lockout |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001T-12JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with standard JEDEC pinout and 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is index corner; pin 9 is NC (no connect) per datasheet Note on page 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing (A0–A16 = 00000H–1FFFFH) |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers and bus-oriented systems |
| 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; enables data output only when CE is also low |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates command latching and programming/erase cycles |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V main supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground Reference | System ground return path for all internal circuits and I/O drivers |
| DC / NC | No Connect | Pin 9 (PLCC) is unconnected - must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Lockout | 16 KB boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH) supports permanent write protection after command-enable, ensuring bootloader integrity |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V disables programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibition (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes) |
| Two End-of-Operation Detection Methods | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) allow flexible, deterministic host firmware synchronization |
| 12 V RESET Override | Applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to RESET pin bypasses boot block lockout during erase/program - critical for field recovery |
| Low-Power Operation | 50 µA CMOS standby current enables battery-backed retention in always-on industrial nodes |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Boot Loader Retention |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing firmware images and configuration parameters in programmable logic controllers deployed in factory automation environments with wide temperature swings. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile code storage with in-system reprogrammability; provides 120 ns read access for deterministic instruction fetch timing in real-time control loops.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Temperature-rated Flash memory with industrial-grade (-40°C to +85°C) operation; 2.7–3.6 V supply range matches automotive battery voltage fluctuations. Use Value: Sector erase capability permits selective update of lighting or door-lock logic without erasing entire firmware image - reducing reprogramming time and risk. |
Use Scenario: Storing network provisioning profiles and encryption keys in outdoor telecom repeaters exposed to humidity and thermal cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Field-programmable nonvolatile memory with DATA polling support; eliminates need for precise timing loops in resource-constrained MCU firmware. Use Value: 10,000 write/erase cycles ensure multi-year reliability under periodic configuration changes; low 50 µA standby current extends backup battery life. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF010-70-4C-NHE | 70 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V supply, same 1 Mbit density and PLCC-32 package | Lacks boot block lockout and 12 V RESET override; uses different command set | Select when faster read timing is required and boot protection is managed externally |
| MX29LV001CTTI-12 | 120 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V, 1 Mbit, PLCC-32; includes CFI-compatible command set | Supports Common Flash Interface but no 12 V override; boot sector at 00000H–03FFFH (not 1C000H–1FFFFH) | Choose for CFI-based toolchain compatibility and standardized JEDEC ID reading |
Compared with SST39VF010-70-4C-NHE and MX29LV001CTTI-12, the AT49BV001T-12JI uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, dedicated 16 KB boot block at upper address space (1C000H–1FFFFH), and hardware-enabled 12 V override - making it optimal for safety-critical, field-serviceable embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the exact memory organization of the AT49BV001T-12JI?
The AT49BV001T-12JI contains 1 Mbit of Flash memory organized as 131,072 words × 8 bits (128K × 8). Its physical address space spans 00000H to 1FFFFH (128K addresses), with the 16 KB boot block located at 1C000H–1FFFFH, two 8 KB parameter blocks at 1A000H–1BFFFH and 18000H–19FFFH, and main memory blocks at 10000H–17FFFH and 00000H–0FFFFH.
Does the AT49BV001T-12JI support true 3 V-only operation without high-voltage programming?
Yes, the AT49BV001T-12JI operates with a single 2.7–3.6 V supply for both read and write functions. It requires no external 12 V programming voltage - all commands (including byte program, sector erase, and boot lockout) are executed using standard 3 V logic levels, except for the optional 12 V RESET override used solely to bypass boot block protection.
How is boot block protection enabled and verified on the AT49BV001T-12JI?
Boot block protection is enabled by issuing a six-cycle command sequence (5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/80H → 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/40H). Verification is performed in Software Product Identification mode: reading address 1C002H returns I/O0 = high if lockout is active, or low if still programmable - confirming the protection state before field deployment.
What package and temperature grade does the AT49BV001T-12JI use?
The AT49BV001T-12JI uses a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (package code 32J) and is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. The "-12" suffix denotes 120 ns maximum read access time, and "JI" indicates industrial-grade PLCC packaging.
Can the AT49BV001T-12JI be used as a direct replacement for the AT49BV001-12JI?
No - the AT49BV001T-12JI and AT49BV001-12JI differ in boot block location and sector mapping. The "T" variant places the 16 KB boot block at 1C000H–1FFFFH, while the non-T variant locates it at 00000H–03FFFH. This affects address decoding, erase command targeting, and software compatibility; they are not pin- or functionally interchangeable without firmware revision.
