Product details
Overview
AT49BV002NT-90JC from Atmel is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply Flash memory IC designed for in-system reprogrammability in embedded boot code storage. It operates at 2.7–3.6 V, delivers 90 ns read access time, supports sector-erase architecture with 16K-byte boot block and hardware lockout, and targets industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in PLCC-32 package.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV002NT-90JC datasheet, AT49BV002NT-90JC pinout, AT49BV002NT-90JC application, or AT49BV002NT-90JC equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, pin-level design meaning, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for boot memory replacement in legacy microcontroller systems.
Technical Context
The AT49BV002NT-90JC implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and supports EPROM-like read operation. Its internal command register enables software-controlled byte programming, sector erase, and chip erase without external high-voltage circuitry.
It features dual 8K-byte parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (96K and 128K bytes), with boot block address range 3C000H–3FFFFH. The RESET pin supports 12V override for boot block reprogramming - a capability confirmed absent in N(T) variants but present in T variants like this one.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits - sufficient for full bootloader + configuration data in 8-bit/16-bit MCU systems. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max - ensures compatibility with 10 MHz bus timing in legacy 8051, Z80, or early ARM7 designs. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration into 3.3 V systems without level-shifting or voltage regulation overhead. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - allows rapid field updates of small firmware patches without system downtime. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max for full chip erase - predictable duration for automated programming stations and production line cycle planning. |
| End-of-Program Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware. |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - meets long-term field update requirements for industrial HMI and telecom edge devices. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV002NT-90JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32) package with J-leads, rated for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). Pin 1 is NC (No 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–A14 used for software ID mode. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access - prevents bus contention in shared-memory systems. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; decouples Flash outputs from data bus during standby or write cycles. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence timing - critical for reliable command entry. |
| RESET* | Reset Input | Active-low reset; applying 12 V ± 0.5 V overrides boot block lockout - unique to T-suffix variants for secure recovery. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data I/O Bus | Bi-directional 8-bit data path; supports DATA polling (I/O7) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) for status monitoring without dedicated status pins. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; internal voltage sensing inhibits programming if VCC drops below ~1.8 V - prevents corruption during brown-out. |
| GND | Ground | Reference for all inputs/outputs; required for stable DC characteristics and noise immunity in mixed-signal PCB layouts. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Lockout | 16K-byte protected region (3C000H–3FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code - essential for field-upgradeable embedded systems. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line inhibition (OE low/CE high/WE high) eliminate spurious writes in electrically noisy environments. |
| Sector Erase Architecture | Independent erasure of two 8K-byte parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (96K/128K) enables modular firmware updates without full chip erase. |
| 12V RESET Override | Applying 12 V to RESET pin during erase/program restores boot block writability even after lockout - enables secure recovery in deployed systems. |
| CMOS Standby Current | 50 µA max - reduces power budget impact in battery-backed or always-on industrial controllers during idle periods. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF020-90-4C-NHE | 3.3 V-only operation (3.0–3.6 V), 90 ns access, same 2 Mbit density and PLCC-32 package; lacks 12V RESET override and boot block lockout override. | No hardware boot protection override - requires full chip erase to recover locked boot sectors. | Select when strict boot security is not required and lower cost is prioritized over field-recovery capability. |
| MX29LV002CTTI-90G | 3.3 V operation, 90 ns access, 2 Mbit density, TSOP-32 package; includes boot block protection but no 12V RESET feature; different command set and sector map. | TSOP-32 footprint incompatible with PLCC-32 layout - requires PCB redesign. | Select only if board revision allows package change and host firmware can accommodate alternate command sequences. |

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV002NT-90JC?
The AT49BV002NT-90JC has a 16K-byte boot block located at address range 3C000H to 3FFFFH. This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49BV002N), which place the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The T-suffix denotes top-boot architecture, enabling efficient mapping for systems that execute code from high memory addresses.
Does AT49BV002NT-90JC support 12V programming override?
Yes, AT49BV002NT-90JC supports 12V ± 0.5V applied to the RESET pin during erase or programming operations to override boot block lockout. This feature is explicitly documented for T-suffix variants and is absent in N(T) or plain (N) versions - confirming its presence in AT49BV002NT-90JC.
What package type and lead count does AT49BV002NT-90JC use?
AT49BV002NT-90JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32) package with J-leads. Pin 1 is designated as "Don't Connect" (NC) per datasheet Rev. 0982D, and the device is rated for industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C).
How does AT49BV002NT-90JC detect end-of-program without polling?
AT49BV002NT-90JC provides Toggle Bit detection on I/O6: during programming or erase, successive reads cause I/O6 to toggle between 0 and 1; when toggling stops, the operation is complete. This hardware status method eliminates reliance on fixed delays or software polling loops in host firmware.
Is AT49BV002NT-90JC pin-compatible with AT49BV002N-90JC?
No - while both use PLCC-32 packaging, AT49BV002NT-90JC and AT49BV002N-90JC differ in boot block location (3C000H vs. 00000H), RESET pin functionality (12V override enabled vs. DC-only), and sector map definitions. These differences require firmware and address decoding changes - they are not drop-in replacements.
