Product details
Overview
AT49BV002NT-90VI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply 2.7–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 90 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, 30 µs/byte programming, 10,000 write cycles, and hardware data protection - deployed in industrial firmware boot loaders requiring secure, field-upgradable storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV002NT-90VI datasheet, AT49BV002NT-90VI pinout, AT49BV002NT-90VI application, or AT49BV002NT-90VI equivalent, key selection criteria include boot block lockout behavior, sector architecture (16K boot + dual 8K parameter + dual main blocks), TSOP/VSOP package compatibility, industrial temperature support (−40°C to +85°C), and 32-pin address/data multiplexing interface timing.
Technical Context
The AT49BV002NT-90VI implements a standard parallel Flash architecture with CE/OE/WE control logic, supporting EPROM-like read operation and command-based byte programming and sector/chip erase. Its internal program controller manages pulse generation and timing without external high-voltage circuitry.
It features a fixed 16K-byte boot block at address 3C000H–3FFFFH (T-suffix variant), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K + 128K bytes). Boot block lockout is enabled via six-cycle command sequence and can be overridden only by applying 12 V to RESET - a feature absent in N-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/16-bit MCUs. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - enables direct battery-voltage operation (e.g., single Li-ion or 3×AA) without regulator overhead. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max - ensures deterministic timing for real-time boot code fetch in industrial controllers. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds typical for full chip erase - balances speed and reliability for infrequent field updates. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - enables rapid patching of configuration or calibration data without system downtime. |

Pinout & Package
AT49BV002NT-90VI is supplied in a 32-lead Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type I, 8 mm × 20 mm) per ordering code suffix "VI". Pin 9 is a no-connect (NC) in TSOP configuration.
| 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 within sectors. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path for read, program, and identification modes; TTL-compatible I/O levels. |
| 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; allows data hold during multi-cycle operations without disabling CE. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command cycle timing. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset halts ongoing operations; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming - not available on N-suffix parts. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V supply; internal voltage sensing disables programming if VCC drops below ~1.8 V. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference for all I/O and internal logic; decoupling required per layout guidelines. |

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, 3.0–3.6 V supply; lacks boot block lockout override via RESET pin. | Higher capacity suits larger firmware images but requires redesign for address space expansion; no 12 V boot recovery path. | Select when additional memory headroom is needed and boot block override is unnecessary. |
| MX29LV200CTTI-90G | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), 90 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; includes CFI query mode and uniform 64K sectors - no dedicated boot block or 12 V override. | CFI support simplifies auto-detection in generic programmers; sector uniformity eases porting but removes boot-specific protection granularity. | Select for standardized CFI-based toolchains where boot block differentiation is not required. |
Compared with SST39VF200A-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV200CTTI-90G, the AT49BV002NT-90VI uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, dedicated 16K boot block with 12 V override, and proven 10,000-cycle endurance - making it optimal for safety-critical, field-upgradable embedded systems where boot integrity is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV002NT-90VI?
The AT49BV002NT-90VI uses the "T" suffix variant, which places its 16K-byte boot block at address range 3C000H to 3FFFFH. This differs from the base AT49BV002N (non-T) version, whose boot block resides at 00000H–03FFFH. The T-suffix layout optimizes memory mapping for systems requiring contiguous high-address boot code.
Does AT49BV002NT-90VI support 12 V RESET override for boot block reprogramming?
Yes, AT49BV002NT-90VI supports 12 V ±0.5 V applied to the RESET pin to override boot block lockout during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming. This feature is explicitly documented for the "T" suffix and is not available on "N"-suffix variants like AT49BV002N-90VI.
What package type does AT49BV002NT-90VI use, and is pin 9 connected?
AT49BV002NT-90VI uses a 32-lead TSOP (Type I, 8 mm × 20 mm) package. Per the datasheet, pin 9 is designated "Don't Connect" (NC) for TSOP and VSOP packages - it must remain unconnected in PCB layout to avoid functional interference.
How does hardware data protection work in AT49BV002NT-90VI?
AT49BV002NT-90VI implements three hardware protections: (1) VCC sense inhibits programming if supply drops below ~1.8 V; (2) any of OE high, CE high, or WE high disables write cycles; and (3) input noise filter rejects pulses <15 ns on WE/CE. These prevent unintended writes in electrically noisy industrial settings.
Can AT49BV002NT-90VI be used in place of AT49BV002N-90VI?
No - AT49BV002NT-90VI and AT49BV002N-90VI are not functionally interchangeable. The "T" suffix denotes relocated boot block (3C000H–3FFFFH vs. 00000H–03FFFH) and inclusion of 12 V RESET override, while the "N" suffix omits both. Substitution requires firmware and hardware validation due to address map and feature differences.
