Product details
Overview
AT49BV002-90VI from Atmel is a 2-Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply Flash memory IC designed for in-system reprogrammability in industrial embedded systems. It operates from 2.7V to 3.6V, delivers 70 ns read access time, supports sector-based erase (boot, parameter, and main memory blocks), and guarantees ≥10,000 write/erase cycles - enabling firmware updates in microcontroller boot loaders and industrial HMI storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV002-90VI datasheet, AT49BV002-90VI pinout, AT49BV002-90VI application, or AT49BV002-90VI equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (32-pin VSOP), confirmed sector architecture (16K boot + dual 8K parameter + 96K/128K main), hardware data protection logic, DATA polling/Toggle Bit status detection, and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT49BV002-90VI implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control lines and 18-bit address bus (A0–A17), supporting EPROM-like read timing and command-based programming/erasure. Its internal state machine executes software-controlled sector or chip erase via six-cycle command sequences (e.g., 5555h/2AAAh/80h/5555h/2AAAh/40h for boot lockout enable).
It features dual-mode boot block protection: permanent lockout when enabled on BV variants, with override capability via 12V RESET input. The device uses CMOS standby current (50 µA) and active current (25 mA), with hardware VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and program inhibit logic (OE low / CE high / WE high) to prevent inadvertent writes.

Pinout & Package
AT49BV002-90VI is packaged in a 32-lead Very Small Outline Package (VSOP), 8 mm × 14 mm, with gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC footprint. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; pin 9 is NC (not connected) per datasheet Rev. 0982D.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus decoding 256K locations; A0–A17 fully utilized for linear addressing across all sectors. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; supports byte-wide reads/writes and status polling on I/O6 (toggle bit) and I/O7 (data polling). |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access - prevents bus contention in multi-device systems. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to gate data bus - enables shared bus arbitration without external logic. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command cycle - critical for reliable command sequence execution. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12V override enables boot block reprogramming even when locked. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +2.7V to +3.6V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers - requires local 0.1 µF decoupling per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for VCC and I/O signals - must be low-impedance plane to maintain signal integrity during fast transitions. |
| DC | No Connect | Pin 9 is unconnected (NC); must be left floating or tied to GND per design - no internal connection or function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture | One 16K-byte boot block (00000h–03FFFh), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K/128K) - enables modular firmware updates without erasing critical boot code. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8V inhibits programming), noise filter (<15 ns pulse rejection), and triple-input inhibit (OE low / CE high / WE high) - eliminates spurious writes in electrically noisy industrial settings. |
| Boot Block Lockout | Software-enabled permanent write protection for boot sector; lockout status detectable via software ID mode at address 00002h - ensures bootloader integrity across power cycles. |
| Status Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - allows host MCU to poll completion without fixed delays, reducing firmware overhead and improving update reliability. |
| 12V RESET Override | Applying 12V ±0.5V to RESET pin during erase/program bypasses boot lockout - provides recovery path for corrupted boot code in deployed systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF200A-90-4C-NHE | 4-Mbit density (512K × 8), 90 ns access, 3.0–3.6V supply, same 32-pin TSOP/VSOP footprint but different command set and sector map. | Larger capacity suits applications needing extended parameter storage; lacks 12V RESET override and boot lockout override capability. | Select when higher density is required and boot block recovery via 12V is not needed; verify command compatibility in existing firmware. |
| MX29LV200CTTI-90G | 2-Mbit (256K × 8), 90 ns, 3.0–3.6V, supports CFI query, identical sector architecture (16K boot + 2×8K param + 2×main), but no 12V RESET feature. | CFI-compliant interface simplifies driver porting; boot lockout is software-only with no hardware override - less resilient to corruption. | Prefer for new designs requiring standardized CFI drivers; avoid where field-recovery of locked boot sectors is mission-critical. |
Compared with SST39VF200A-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV200CTTI-90G, the AT49BV002-90VI uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, 12V RESET override for boot recovery, and Atmel's proven sector protection scheme - making it optimal for safety-critical or long-lifecycle embedded deployments where firmware resilience outweighs density or CFI convenience.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AT49BV002-90VI?
The AT49BV002-90VI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the "DC and AC Operating Range" table of the official datasheet (Rev. 0982D), where the "I" suffix denotes industrial grade. The device maintains full functionality-including 90 ns read access, 30 µs/byte programming, and sector erase-across this entire range.
Does the AT49BV002-90VI support hardware write protection for the boot sector?
Yes, the AT49BV002-90VI supports hardware-enforced boot sector protection via its boot block programming lockout feature. Once enabled using the documented six-cycle command sequence (5555h/2AAAh/80h/5555h/2AAAh/40h), the 16K boot block (00000h–03FFFh) becomes permanently write-protected at ≤5.5V. The AT49BV002-90VI also supports 12V RESET override for emergency reprogramming - a hardware-level recovery mechanism not found in most competing Flash devices.
What package type is used for the AT49BV002-90VI?
The AT49BV002-90VI uses a 32-lead Very Small Outline Package (VSOP), 8 mm × 14 mm, with gull-wing leads. This is explicitly stated in the "AT49BV002 Ordering Information" table (page 14), where "AT49BV002-90VI" maps to package code "32V". Pin 9 is designated as "Don't Connect" (DC), and the package complies with JEDEC MO-187 standards.
How does the AT49BV002-90VI indicate completion of a byte programming cycle?
The AT49BV002-90VI provides two hardware-supported methods: DATA polling and Toggle Bit detection. During programming, reading the last written address returns the complement of the data on I/O7 (DATA polling); once complete, true data appears. Alternatively, I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during the operation and stops toggling upon completion. Both mechanisms are characterized in the datasheet (pages 12–13) and require no external timing components.
Is the AT49BV002-90VI pin-compatible with other members of the AT49BV/LV002 family?
Yes, the AT49BV002-90VI shares identical pinout and electrical interface with all AT49BV/LV002(N)(T) variants in the same package (e.g., AT49BV002-90JC, AT49LV002-90VI). All 32-pin versions - PLCC (32J), PDIP (32P6), TSOP (32T), and VSOP (32V) - maintain consistent pin functions (A0–A17, I/O0–I/O7, CE/OE/WE/RESET/VCC/GND/DC), enabling direct substitution within the same package footprint and voltage range.
