Product details
Overview
AT49BV001T-90TC from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 3V-only Flash memory IC with 70 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 for embedded firmware storage in microcontroller-based industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001T-90TC datasheet, AT49BV001T-90TC pinout, AT49BV001T-90TC application, or AT49BV001T-90TC equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.7–3.6 V operating range, 10-second chip erase time, byte-programmable architecture with DATA polling, boot block lockout override via 12 V RESET, and TSOP-32 package compatibility with legacy 8-bit bus interfaces.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001T-90TC implements a command-register-based programming model using standard microprocessor timing, with WE/CE-controlled write cycles and OE-controlled output enable. Its internal logic handles erase timing autonomously-no external clocks required-and supports both full-chip and sector-erase operations via six-cycle software command sequences.
It features dual-level hardware protection: VCC sense inhibits programming below 1.8 V, and noise filtering rejects sub-15 ns pulses on WE/CE. The boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH) supports permanent lockout activation and 12 V RESET override, distinguishing it from non-T variants where boot block address mapping differs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Capacity | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max - determines minimum bus cycle time in 8-bit parallel interfaces |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - enables direct connection to 3.3 V logic without level shifters |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - enables fast field updates of small firmware patches |

| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 - must be left unconnected per datasheet; not internally bonded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Erase Architecture | Independent erasure of 8 KB parameter blocks and 32/64 KB main memory blocks enables selective firmware updates without full chip erase |
| Boot Block Lockout | 16 KB boot sector (1C000H–1FFFFH) can be permanently write-protected; prevents accidental corruption of bootloader code |
| 12 V RESET Override | Applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to RESET* bypasses boot block lockout during chip/sector erase or byte programming |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and CE/OE/WE interlock prevent spurious writes during power-up or EMI events |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time program/erase completion detection without fixed delays - reduces host CPU overhead and improves update reliability |

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001T-90TC?
The boot block address range for AT49BV001T-90TC is 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16 KB). This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49BV001), which use 00000H–03FFFH. The T-suffix denotes top-boot architecture, placing the protected boot sector at the highest memory addresses - a critical detail for linker script configuration and bootloader placement in the AT49BV001T-90TC.
Does AT49BV001T-90TC support 12 V programming override?
Yes, AT49BV001T-90TC 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 AT49BV001(N)T family and is not available on N-suffix variants. The override is temporary: once RESET* returns to TTL levels, lockout reactivates - ensuring AT49BV001T-90TC maintains security after authorized recovery.
What package type is used by AT49BV001T-90TC?
AT49BV001T-90TC uses a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type 1, 8 × 20 mm), designated as package code "32T" in Atmel's ordering information. Pin 1 is NC (not connected), and pin 9 is the active-low RESET* input. This surface-mount package enables high-density PCB layouts and is compatible with standard reflow soldering profiles - a key implementation advantage of the AT49BV001T-90TC over through-hole alternatives.
How does AT49BV001T-90TC detect end-of-program without fixed delays?
AT49BV001T-90TC provides two hardware methods: DATA polling (reading the last programmed byte yields complemented data on I/O7 until completion) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during programming, then stabilizes). Both operate asynchronously and require no timer resources from the host microcontroller - significantly improving firmware update reliability and reducing code complexity in systems using AT49BV001T-90TC.
Is AT49BV001T-90TC compatible with 5 V microcontrollers?
No, AT49BV001T-90TC is a 3V-only device with absolute maximum input voltage of 6.25 V, but its DC input thresholds (VIL = 0.6 V, VIH = 2.0 V) and 2.7–3.6 V VCC requirement make it incompatible with direct 5 V logic interfacing. Level translation is mandatory when connecting to 5 V microcontrollers. This electrical constraint is inherent to the AT49BV001T-90TC design and must be addressed in schematic layout.
