Product details
Overview
AT49BV001T-90VC from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 2.7–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory with 90 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 embedded microcontroller systems requiring nonvolatile, field-upgradable memory.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV001T-90VC datasheet, AT49BV001T-90VC pinout, AT49BV001T-90VC application, or AT49BV001T-90VC equivalent, key selection criteria include boot block lockout capability (address range 1C000H–1FFFFH), 10,000 program/erase cycles, DC/AC operation over commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), and VSOP-32 (8 × 14 mm) package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AT49BV001T-90VC implements a command-register-based programming model using standard microprocessor timing, supporting byte-by-byte programming (30 µs typical), software-controlled sector erase (10 s max), and DATA polling or toggle-bit status detection. Its internal control logic handles erase timing autonomously without external clocks.
It features dual-line chip enable (CE) and output enable (OE) for bus contention avoidance, RESET pin support for system-level reset coordination (including 12 V override for boot block reprogramming), and hardware safeguards including VCC sense, noise filtering on WE/CE, and write inhibit conditions.
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 | 90 ns - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in systems with ≤11 MHz bus timing. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic rails and battery-backed operation down to 2.7 V. |
| Program/Erase Endurance | 10,000 cycles - sufficient for field firmware updates across product lifecycle in industrial controllers. |
| Active Current | 25 mA - low enough for portable devices with duty-cycled firmware reads. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in always-on embedded systems. |
| Boot Block Size & Address | 16 KB (1C000H–1FFFFH) - isolates secure bootloader code from application updates. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV001T-90VC is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Very Small Outline Package (VSOP), 8 mm × 14 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-207AA compliant. Pin 1 is located at bottom-left corner (marking dot adjacent), with pins numbered counter-clockwise.
| 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 regions including boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH). |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read/write operations; supports true bidirectional data flow without external transceivers. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low device select; when high, places outputs in high-impedance state - essential for multi-device bus sharing. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read strobe; used with CE to prevent bus contention during partial decode or shared-memory configurations. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming cycles. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low system reset; 12 V input enables boot block override - critical for recovery firmware updates. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; internal regulation ensures stable core voltage across operating range. |
| GND | Ground | Reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise during erase/program pulses. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 31 (VSOP top view); must remain unconnected - floating or tied to GND/VCC may cause undefined behavior. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | Hardware-enforced write protection for 16 KB boot sector (1C000H–1FFFFH); prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader during application firmware updates. |
| Software Command Architecture | 6-byte unlock/erase/lock sequences (e.g., 5555H/2AAAH/80H) eliminate need for external high-voltage programmers - enables in-system reprogramming via MCU GPIO. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual status reporting: I/O7 complement indicates program completion; I/O6 toggling signals active erase/program - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware. |
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erasure of two 8 KB parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32 KB + 64 KB) - allows selective update of configuration data without clearing entire firmware image. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (inhibit below 1.8 V), noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and multi-signal write inhibit (CE high / OE low / WE high) prevent spurious writes during power transients or EMI events. |
Applications

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 | Same density (1 Mbit), 90 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V supply, but uses different command set and lacks boot block lockout override via RESET pin. | No 12 V boot block reprogramming path; requires full chip erase to modify protected region - unsuitable for secure recovery workflows. | Select only if boot block override is unnecessary and SST's JEDEC-compliant command set aligns with existing firmware drivers. |
| MX29LV001CTTI-90G | 1 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.0–3.6 V, includes CFI query mode and hardware write protect pin (WP#), but boot block is fixed at lower address (00000H–03FFFH), not relocated to 1C000H–1FFFFH. | Boot block location mismatch prevents drop-in replacement in designs relying on upper-address boot code placement per AT49BV001T-90VC layout. | Choose only when board layout reserves lower memory map for boot code and WP# pin usage is preferred over command-based lockout. |
Compared with SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV001CTTI-90G, the AT49BV001T-90VC uniquely combines relocatable boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH), 12 V RESET override, and Atmel's proven command-set compatibility - making it optimal for legacy MCU platforms requiring field-safe bootloader updates.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV001T-90VC?
The boot block for AT49BV001T-90VC occupies addresses 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16 KB), distinct from the base-address boot block used in non-T variants. This upper-memory placement isolates boot code from application updates and is confirmed in the "Notes" section of the datasheet (page 6, Note 2). The AT49BV001T-90VC's boot block lockout feature applies exclusively to this range.
Does AT49BV001T-90VC support 12 V programming override for the boot block?
Yes, AT49BV001T-90VC 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 not available on N-suffix variants like AT49BV001N(T).
What package type does AT49BV001T-90VC use?
AT49BV001T-90VC uses a 32-lead Plastic Very Small Outline Package (VSOP), 8 mm × 14 mm body size, per ordering information table (page 18). This matches the "32V" package code and differs from PLCC (32J), PDIP (32P6), or TSOP (32T) variants - critical for footprint compatibility in compact PCB designs.
How many program/erase cycles is AT49BV001T-90VC rated for?
AT49BV001T-90VC is rated for a typical 10,000 program/erase cycles, as stated in the "Features" section (page 1) and confirmed under "Device Operation" (page 3). This endurance applies to all sectors including boot, parameter, and main memory blocks, and is validated across the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C).
Can AT49BV001T-90VC be used with 2.7 V supply voltage?
Yes, AT49BV001T-90VC operates across 2.7 V to 3.6 V, as specified in the "DC and AC Operating Range" table (page 7) under "AT49BV/LV001(N)(T)-90". This 2.7 V minimum enables compatibility with brown-out tolerant systems and battery-powered applications where supply may dip near 2.7 V during peak load.
