Product details
Overview
AT49BV002-12TI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply 3V-only Flash memory IC designed for in-system reprogrammability in embedded boot code storage. It features 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase cycle, byte-programmable architecture with 30 µs/byte typical programming time, and hardware data protection including VCC sense and noise filtering. It is used in industrial microcontroller boot loaders where reliable nonvolatile code retention and field-upgradable firmware are required.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV002-12TI datasheet, AT49BV002-12TI pinout, AT49BV002-12TI application, or AT49BV002-12TI equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, sector-based erase control, boot block lockout behavior, DC/AC timing compliance for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and real-world design implications of its 32-pin TSOP package and RESET-enabled override functionality.
Technical Context
The AT49BV002-12TI implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte software sequences for chip/sector erase and boot lockout enablement. Its memory is partitioned into one 16K-byte boot block (address 3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K and 128K bytes), enabling selective firmware updates without full reflash.
It supports standard EPROM-like read operation with CE/OE/WE dual-line control, DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) methods for program/erase completion detection, and hardware reset-driven boot block reprogramming override at 12 V on the RESET pin - a capability absent in N-suffix variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), directly maps to 256 KB of contiguous firmware storage space |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns max - determines worst-case instruction fetch latency in microcontroller boot sequence |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - defines minimum time per byte during field firmware patching |
| Chip Erase Time | 10 seconds - sets minimum downtime for full firmware replacement in production or service |
| Operating Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic rails and battery-backed systems |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and motor drive applications |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - supports long-term field update viability in maintenance-critical systems |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV002-12TI is supplied in a 32-lead Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type 1, 8 mm × 20 mm), pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin Flash memory footprints. Pin functions align with JEDEC-standard parallel NOR Flash interface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A16 used for byte-level access |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; supports true read-modify-write and byte programming |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables device for read/write when low and OE/WE in valid state |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus tristate during read to prevent contention |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V input enables boot block override |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; powers core logic and charge pumps for internal programming voltage generation |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all I/O and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16K-byte protected region (3C000H–3FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of critical boot code; enabled via 6-cycle command sequence |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), WE/CE noise filter (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line inhibit (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes) |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | I/O7 complement and I/O6 toggle provide real-time, bus-compatible program/erase status without external timers or interrupts |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent erasure of parameter blocks (8K each) and main memory blocks (96K/128K) enables modular firmware updates and wear leveling |
| 12 V RESET Override | Applying 12 V ±0.5 V to RESET pin during erase/program bypasses boot lockout - essential for recovery after misconfigured lockout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE | 4 Mbit density, 70 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V supply; lacks RESET-based boot override and uses different command set | Higher capacity suits larger boot images but requires redesign of erase/lockout logic | Select when >2 Mbit storage is needed and RESET override is not required for field recovery |
| MX29LV040CTTC-70G | 4 Mbit, 70 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; includes CFI query support and uniform 64K sectors; no boot block lockout feature | CFI compatibility simplifies programmer integration but removes hardware-enforced boot protection | Prefer for standardized programming workflows where boot security is managed in software |
Compared with SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE and MX29LV040CTTC-70G, the AT49BV002-12TI provides unique boot block lockout with 12 V RESET override - a critical differentiator for safety-critical or field-deployed systems requiring guaranteed boot integrity and recovery capability.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV002-12TI?
The boot block for AT49BV002-12TI occupies addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes). This differs from non-T variants (00000H–03FFFH) and is explicitly defined in the datasheet's sector mapping table. The AT49BV002-12TI uses the T-suffix topology, confirming this higher-address boot region for memory layout compatibility with larger firmware images.
Does AT49BV002-12TI support 12 V RESET override for boot block reprogramming?
Yes, AT49BV002-12TI supports 12 V ±0.5 V applied to the RESET pin during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming to temporarily disable boot block lockout. This feature is documented in the "Boot Block Programming Lockout Override" section and is unavailable on N-suffix variants like AT49BV002N-12TI.
What is the maximum allowed VCC for AT49BV002-12TI during programming?
The absolute maximum VCC rating for AT49BV002-12TI is +6.25 V, but functional programming requires 2.7 V to 3.6 V. Programming is inhibited below 1.8 V (typical) due to VCC sense circuitry. Exceeding 3.6 V risks violating AC timing specs and may cause premature wear or data corruption - always maintain VCC within the 2.7–3.6 V operating range for AT49BV002-12TI.
How does AT49BV002-12TI indicate end-of-program via DATA polling?
During byte programming, reading the just-loaded address returns the complement of the written data on I/O7. Once programming completes, true data appears on I/O7 and all outputs. This behavior is electrically observable without external clocks and is specified in the "Data Polling Waveforms" section of the AT49BV002-12TI datasheet.
Is AT49BV002-12TI pin-compatible with AT49BV002-12JI or AT49BV002-12VC?
Yes - all AT49BV002-12x variants share identical 32-pin functional pinouts and electrical timing. The suffix (TI, JI, VC) denotes package type (TSOP, PLCC, VSOP) and temperature grade (Industrial), not pin assignment. AT49BV002-12TI uses TSOP, AT49BV002-12JI uses PLCC, and AT49BV002-12VC uses VSOP - all electrically and logically interchangeable in PCB layout.
