Product details
Overview
AT49BV002N-12VI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply 3V-only Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded systems. It features 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable architecture with sector protection, and operates across -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range in VSOP-32 package.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV002N-12VI datasheet, AT49BV002N-12VI pinout, AT49BV002N-12VI application, or AT49BV002N-12VI equivalent, key selection considerations include boot-block lockout capability, DC pin compatibility in VSOP/TSOP packages, sector erase granularity (16K/8K/96K/128K), DATA polling/Toggle Bit verification, and 2.7–3.6V VCC tolerance with 50 µA CMOS standby current.
Technical Context
The AT49BV002N-12VI implements a command-based software-controlled Flash architecture with six-byte erase/program sequences using standard microprocessor timing. Its internal control logic manages erase timing autonomously without external clocks, supporting chip, sector, and byte-level operations via CE/OE/WE interface signals.
It integrates hardware data protection including VCC sense (<1.8V inhibit), noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and dual-line bus contention prevention via independent CE and OE enable logic. The RESET pin is DC-connected (not functional for reset or boot override), distinguishing it from T-suffix variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits - supports full firmware image storage in space-constrained designs. |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns max - defines minimum bus cycle time for reliable instruction fetch or data read in 8-bit parallel interfaces. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - enables rapid field updates of configuration data or small code patches without long write stalls. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max for full chip erase - allows predictable in-system reprogramming windows during maintenance or upgrade cycles. |
| VCC Operating Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with Li-ion battery-backed or regulated 3.3V rails without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - ensures ultra-low power retention in always-on embedded controllers or IoT edge nodes. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - supports long-term field deployment in applications requiring periodic firmware revision. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV002N-12VI is supplied in a 32-lead Very Small Outline Package (VSOP), 8 mm × 14 mm body size, with gull-wing leads and standard JEDEC MO-178 footprint. Pin 9 is designated "DC" (Don't Connect) per datasheet Rev. 0982D.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A17 map directly to memory location bits. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path for read/write operations; high-impedance when CE or OE is inactive. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access; prevents bus contention. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; decouples data bus from outputs when high, enabling shared bus architectures. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence timing. |
| RESET | DC Terminal | Not connected internally (DC); no reset or boot override function - differs from T-suffix variants. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6V supply; powers core logic, charge pumps, and I/O buffers; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for VCC and I/O; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16K-byte protected region (00000H–03FFFH) with irreversible lockout via command sequence - secures bootloader code against accidental overwrite. |
| Sector Architecture | Four independently erasable sectors: one 16K boot block, two 8K parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K + 128K) - enables modular firmware updates. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Hardware status feedback via I/O7 complement (polling) or I/O6 toggle - eliminates need for fixed delay timers during programming/erase. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and CE/OE/WE interlock - prevents spurious writes during power-up/down or EMI events. |
| Single 3V Supply Operation | No 5V or 12V required for read/write/erase - simplifies power design and eliminates high-voltage charge pump complexity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF200A-70-4C-NHE | 4 Mbit density, 70 ns access, 3.0–3.6V, same 32-pin TSOP/VSOP footprint but different command set and sector map. | Higher density supports larger firmware; lacks boot block lockout - requires external MCU-based protection logic. | Select when >2 Mbit capacity is needed and software-managed protection suffices. |
| MX29LV200CBTI-70G | 2 Mbit, 70 ns, 2.7–3.6V, 48-pin TSOP; includes CFI query support and hardware reset, but no DC pin - RESET is functional. | CFI compliance simplifies auto-detection in generic programmers; RESET functionality enables system-level recovery not available on AT49BV002N-12VI. | Select when CFI compatibility or active RESET signal is required for host system integration. |
Compared with SST39VF200A-70-4C-NHE and MX29LV200CBTI-70G, the AT49BV002N-12VI offers unique boot block lockout for immutable bootloader storage and DC RESET pin simplification, at the cost of lower density and absence of CFI - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, safety-critical embedded systems where firmware partitioning integrity is paramount.

FAQ
What is the function of the RESET pin on the AT49BV002N-12VI?
The RESET pin on the AT49BV002N-12VI is a DC (Don't Connect) terminal with no internal connection. Unlike T-suffix variants, it provides neither reset functionality nor boot block override capability. Per datasheet Rev. 0982D, this pin must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid unintended behavior. The AT49BV002N-12VI relies solely on CE/OE/WE control sequencing for all operations.
Does the AT49BV002N-12VI support 5V-tolerant inputs?
No, the AT49BV002N-12VI does not support 5V-tolerant inputs. All input voltages (including CE, OE, WE, A0–A17, and I/O0–I/O7) must remain within -0.6V to VCC + 0.6V, with VCC limited to 2.7–3.6V. Applying 5V signals risks permanent damage. Level-shifting circuitry is required when interfacing with 5V microcontrollers. This constraint is explicitly defined in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the AT49BV002N-12VI datasheet.
How is boot block protection enabled on the AT49BV002N-12VI?
Boot block protection on the AT49BV002N-12VI is enabled by executing a six-cycle command sequence: write 0xAA to address 0x5555, 0x55 to 0x2AAA, 0x80 to 0x5555, then 0xAA, 0x55, and 0x40 to 0x5555. Once activated, the 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH) becomes permanently write-protected. The AT49BV002N-12VI does not support RESET-based override, making this lockout irreversible in hardware.
What package type is used for the AT49BV002N-12VI?
The AT49BV002N-12VI uses a 32-lead Very Small Outline Package (VSOP) measuring 8 mm × 14 mm, per ordering code suffix "V". This package features gull-wing leads, complies with JEDEC MO-178, and shares footprint compatibility with TSOP-32 variants. Pin 9 is marked "DC" (Don't Connect), and thermal pad is not present - confirming it as a standard VSOP, not thermally enhanced variant.
Can the AT49BV002N-12VI be used as a direct replacement for the AT49BV002-12VI?
No, the AT49BV002N-12VI is not a direct replacement for the AT49BV002-12VI. While both share 120 ns access time and VSOP-32 packaging, the "N" suffix denotes a different internal configuration: the AT49BV002N-12VI has a DC RESET pin and boot block at 00000H–03FFFH, whereas the non-N variant supports functional RESET and may differ in sector mapping. PCB layout and firmware initialization must be verified per respective datasheets before substitution.
