Product details
Overview
AT49BV002N-90JC 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 microcontroller systems. It features 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable architecture with sector protection, and operates across 0°C to 70°C commercial temperature range in a 32-lead PLCC package.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV002N-90JC datasheet, AT49BV002N-90JC pinout, AT49BV002N-90JC application, or AT49BV002N-90JC equivalent, key selection considerations include its 2.7–3.6V VCC range, boot block lockout capability, DATA polling/Toggle Bit programming status detection, and compatibility with standard EPROM-like bus interfaces (CE/OE/WE).
Technical Context
The AT49BV002N-90JC implements a sector-organized Flash architecture with one 16 KB boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96 KB + 128 KB). It uses standard microprocessor write timings and internal command register control for erase and program operations without requiring external high-voltage programming signals.
Its operation relies on six-byte software command sequences (e.g., 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/80H → …) entered via address/data bus under specific CE/OE/WE timing constraints. 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 for 8-bit MCUs. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in systems with ≤11 MHz bus clocks. |
| VCC Supply Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion, 3.3 V logic rails, and battery-backed operation. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - allows rapid field updates of configuration data or calibration parameters. |
| Chip Erase Time | 10 seconds max - deterministic erase cycle suitable for production programming and recovery workflows. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - validated for firmware update partitions in industrial controllers. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - enables low-power sleep modes in portable or energy-harvesting devices. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV002N-90JC is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), 11.43 mm × 13.97 mm body, J-lead profile, RoHS-compliant. Pin 1 is index corner; pin 32 is VCC.
| 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 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8051, Z80, and 68K-family microcontrollers. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables device for read/write when low and OE/WE satisfy mode conditions. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive during read; high-Z when deasserted to prevent bus contention. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming. |
| RESET | DC Input (No Function) | DC-connected per datasheet; not functional for reset or boot override - differs from T-suffix variants. |
| DC | No Connect | Pin 1 in PLCC package is unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines. |
| VCC / GND | Power / Reference | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm of VCC/GND pins. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16 KB protected region (00000H–03FFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code after enable command sequence. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Hardware-supported status feedback (I/O7 complement / I/O6 toggle) eliminates need for fixed delay timers during programming. |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent erasure of parameter blocks (8 KB each) enables field-updatable configuration storage without disturbing main firmware. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock prevent spurious writes. |
| EPROM-Compatible Interface | Standard CE/OE/WE timing and bus behavior allow drop-in replacement of UV-erasable EPROMs in legacy designs. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Configuration Memory |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing boot firmware and runtime configuration in programmable logic controllers with periodic field updates. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile code storage with hardware-protected boot sector and sector-erase capability for safe firmware patching.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role memory: locked boot block (00000H–03FFFH) for secure boot, main blocks for signed firmware images. Use Value: Enables secure boot chain enforcement and atomic firmware swaps using sector-erase isolation - no risk of partial update corruption. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV002N-90PC | DIP-32 package instead of PLCC-32; identical electrical specs and timing. | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy PCBs with DIP footprints. | Select when mechanical mounting or hand-soldering is required; same firmware and timing compatibility. |
| SST39VF200A-90-4C-NHE | 4 Mbit density (512K × 8), 90 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V; different command set and sector map. | Higher capacity for larger firmware; requires driver adaptation due to different unlock sequences. | Choose when >2 Mbit storage is needed and software can be modified for SST's 3-byte unlock protocol. |
Compared with AT49BV002N-90PC, the AT49BV002N-90JC offers surface-mount reliability and higher board density; compared with SST39VF200A, it provides proven bootloader lockout and simpler command sequencing at lower density - ideal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained MCU systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the RESET pin on the AT49BV002N-90JC?
The RESET pin on the AT49BV002N-90JC is a DC-connected (no-connect) terminal per the datasheet - it has no functional role in reset, boot override, or programming. Unlike the T-suffix variants, this pin cannot be used to re-enable boot block programming. It must be left unconnected or tied to ground per layout guidance, and does not affect AT49BV002N-90JC operation.
Does the AT49BV002N-90JC support in-system programming without high-voltage signals?
Yes, the AT49BV002N-90JC supports full in-system programming using only its 2.7–3.6 V VCC supply - no external 12 V or 5 V programming voltage is required. All erase and program operations are initiated via six-byte software command sequences written to specific address locations (e.g., 5555H/AAH), making AT49BV002N-90JC compatible with standard 3.3 V microcontroller buses.
How is boot block protection enabled on the AT49BV002N-90JC?
Boot block protection on the AT49BV002N-90JC is enabled by executing a six-cycle command sequence: write AAH to 5555H, 55H to 2AAAH, 80H to 5555H, AAH to 5555H, 55H to 2AAAH, then 40H to 5555H. Once activated, the 16 KB boot block (00000H–03FFFH) becomes permanently write-protected at ≤5.5 V - a feature confirmed in the AT49BV002N-90JC datasheet Rev. 0982D.
What package type is used for the AT49BV002N-90JC?
The AT49BV002N-90JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as "32J" in Atmel's ordering nomenclature. It features a 11.43 mm × 13.97 mm body with J-leads, is RoHS-compliant, and has pin 1 at the index corner. This surface-mount package supports automated assembly and offers better thermal performance than DIP alternatives.
Can the AT49BV002N-90JC be used as a direct replacement for EPROMs like the 27C256?
Yes, the AT49BV002N-90JC is pin-compatible and functionally compatible with 27C256 EPROMs in read mode: it uses identical CE/OE/WE control signaling, outputs valid data within 90 ns of address/CE assertion, and presents high-impedance outputs when deselected. However, AT49BV002N-90JC requires software command sequences for programming - unlike UV-erasable EPROMs - so system firmware must implement the unlock and write protocols.
