Product details
Overview
AT49BV002AT-70PI from Atmel is a 2.7V-only, 2 Mbit (256K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 70 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (including 16 KB boot block at 3C000H–3FFFFH), and hardware data protection. It operates across –40°C to +85°C and supports byte-by-byte programming (30 µs/byte) and 4-second chip erase for embedded firmware storage in microcontroller-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV002AT-70PI datasheet, AT49BV002AT-70PI pinout, AT49BV002AT-70PI application, or AT49BV002AT-70PI equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions for PLCC-32 packaging, real-world use cases in boot code retention and parameter storage, and two validated alternative Flash parts with documented functional and layout differences.
Technical Context
The AT49BV002AT-70PI implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic, supporting EPROM-like read timing and command-based write/erase operations. Its internal architecture includes dedicated boot, parameter, and main memory blocks-each independently erasable-and integrates DATA polling and toggle-bit status detection for program/erase cycle completion.
It uses Atmel's nonvolatile CMOS process and features VCC sense, noise filtering on WE/CE, and RESET-driven boot block override (12 V). The device requires no high-voltage programming supply and executes all commands via 5 V–level sequences, enabling direct integration into 3.3 V systems without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits - sufficient for full bootloader plus configuration tables in resource-constrained MCUs. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns max - enables direct execution from Flash (XIP) in systems with ≤14 MHz bus clocks without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion or regulated 3.3 V rails; eliminates need for dual-supply design. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - allows rapid field updates of small firmware patches or calibration data without system downtime. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 4 seconds max for full chip - deterministic timing simplifies host firmware timeout handling during firmware recovery routines. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - supports multi-year field updates in industrial controllers and medical devices. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - critical for battery-backed applications where low quiescent power extends shelf life. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV002AT-70PI is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32), compliant with JEDEC MS-016 Variation AE. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch; package dimensions are 12.32 mm × 14.86 mm × 3.56 mm (max height).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A11 is don't-care in command cycles per datasheet Note 2. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for toggle-bit status during programming/erase. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access; controls device selection on shared buses. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; used with CE to prevent bus contention; high-Z when inactive, even if CE is low. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming; filtered against <15 ns noise pulses. |
| RESET* | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V applied here overrides boot block lockout (not available on AN variant). |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V core supply; internal VCC sense disables programming if voltage drops below ~1.8 V. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; decoupling capacitor required near VCC/GND pins per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Lockout | 16 KB sector (3C000H–3FFFFH) programmable lockout prevents accidental overwrite of secure bootloader code; enabled via 6-cycle command sequence. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, OE/CE/WE inhibit logic, and 15 ns noise filtering eliminate unintended writes during power transients or EMI events. |
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erase of two 8 KB parameter blocks and four main memory blocks (32 KB + 3×64 KB) enables granular firmware updates without full chip erase. |
| Status Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and toggle-bit (I/O6 toggling) provide software-controlled, real-time confirmation of program/erase completion. |
| 12 V RESET Override | Applying 12 V ±0.5 V to RESET pin re-enables boot block programming even after lockout activation - critical for factory recovery and secure provisioning. |

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV002AT-70PI?
The AT49BV002AT-70PI has its 16 KB boot block located at address range 3C000H to 3FFFFH, distinct from the base AT49BV002A(N) variant which places it at 00000H–03FFFH. This top-address placement simplifies memory mapping in systems where boot code must reside at the highest accessible Flash region.
Does AT49BV002AT-70PI support 2.7 V operation?
Yes, AT49BV002AT-70PI is specified for single-supply operation from 2.7 V to 3.6 V across the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Its VCC sense circuitry inhibits programming if supply drops below ~1.8 V, ensuring reliable behavior during brown-out conditions.
How is boot block lockout overridden on AT49BV002AT-70PI?
Boot block lockout on AT49BV002AT-70PI can be overridden by applying 12.0 V ±0.5 V to the RESET pin during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming operations. Once RESET returns to TTL levels, lockout reactivates - a feature absent in the AN variant.
What package type does AT49BV002AT-70PI use?
AT49BV002AT-70PI uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32) package, identified by ordering code suffix "PI". Its dimensions comply with JEDEC MS-016 Variation AE, with pin 1 marked by a corner notch and body size 12.32 mm × 14.86 mm.
Can AT49BV002AT-70PI be programmed using standard 5 V logic levels?
Yes, AT49BV002AT-70PI uses 5 V–level command sequences (e.g., 555H/AAH, AAH/55H) for all operations including read, program, erase, and lockout enable. No high-voltage programming supply is required - all functions execute within the 2.7–3.6 V VCC range.
