Product details
Overview
AT49BV002T-12JC from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2-Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply 3V Flash memory IC designed for in-system reprogrammability in embedded boot code storage. It features 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programming at 30 µs/byte typical, and hardware data protection. It is used in microcontroller-based systems requiring secure, field-upgradable firmware storage with boot block lockout.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV002T-12JC datasheet, AT49BV002T-12JC pinout, AT49BV002T-12JC application, or AT49BV002T-12JC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 120 ns access timing grade, PLCC-32 package, boot block address range (3C000H–3FFFFH), sector-erasable architecture, and 2.7–3.6 V operation - all critical for legacy industrial controller and telecom equipment designs.
Technical Context
The AT49BV002T-12JC implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and supports EPROM-like read operations. Its internal command register executes software-controlled erase and program cycles without external high-voltage programming signals.
It uses a sector-based memory map: one 16K-byte boot block (3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks (3A000H–3BFFFH and 38000H–39FFFH), and two main memory blocks (20000H–37FFFH and 00000H–1FFFFH). Boot block lockout is enabled via a six-cycle command sequence and can be overridden only by applying 12 V to RESET during programming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), sufficient for compact boot loaders and configuration tables |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns max - defines minimum bus cycle timing for 8-bit microprocessor interfaces |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - enables direct connection to 3.3 V logic rails without level shifting |
| Active Current | 25 mA - determines power budget impact during firmware reads or updates |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - supports low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds typical - sets minimum latency for field firmware patching |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - qualifies for infrequent but mission-critical updates |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV002T-12JC is housed in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-leads, suitable for socketed or surface-mount applications requiring mechanical robustness and thermal cycling resilience.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing (00000H–3FFFFH) |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | 8-bit bidirectional data path compatible with standard microprocessor data buses |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables device for read/write when low and OE/WE configured |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive to prevent contention during shared-bus operation |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming |
| VCC | Power Supply | +2.7 to +3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and analog circuitry |
| DC | No Connect | Pin 1 on PLCC package - must remain unconnected per datasheet |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16K-byte region (3C000H–3FFFFH) permanently protected after command activation - ensures bootloader integrity |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time end-of-program detection via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in firmware |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line inhibit logic prevent accidental writes during power transients |
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erasure of parameter blocks (8K each) and main memory blocks (96K/128K) - enables modular firmware updates without full chip erase |
| Single 3V Supply Operation | No external 5V or 12V required for programming - simplifies power design and reduces BOM count |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV002T-12JI | Same die and timing, but industrial-grade (-40°C to +85°C) temperature rating and PDIP-32 package | Preferred for non-socketed, through-hole production where thermal margin exceeds commercial spec | Select when board-level reliability under extended temperature stress is required and PLCC socketing is not needed |
| SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE | 2 Mbit Flash with 120 ns access, but uses different command set, lacks RESET-based boot override, and has no DC pin | Requires firmware driver modification; no hardware boot lockout override capability | Choose only if migrating from SST39VF family; verify command compatibility and absence of 12 V RESET dependency |
Compared with AT49BV002T-12JI, the AT49BV002T-12JC offers socketed PLCC-32 for prototyping and field service, while SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE trades boot security features for broader vendor support - making AT49BV002T-12JC optimal for legacy Atmel-based designs requiring field-reprogrammable boot integrity.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV002T-12JC?
The boot block for AT49BV002T-12JC occupies addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes). This differs from the base AT49BV002(N) variant, which locates the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The relocated boot sector enables flexible memory mapping for newer system architectures requiring top-of-memory initialization code.
Does AT49BV002T-12JC support 5V-only programming commands?
No, AT49BV002T-12JC does not require 5V-only programming commands. It operates exclusively from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply and uses standard TTL-level CE/OE/WE control signals. All programming and erase functions are initiated via software command sequences written to specific address/data locations - eliminating need for external high-voltage generators.
Can the boot block lockout on AT49BV002T-12JC be disabled after activation?
No, the boot block lockout feature on AT49BV002T-12JC cannot be disabled once enabled. However, it can be temporarily overridden during programming or erase operations by applying 12.0 V ± 0.5 V to the RESET pin. After the operation completes and RESET returns to TTL levels, the lockout resumes - preserving long-term security.
What package type is used for AT49BV002T-12JC?
AT49BV002T-12JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-leads (package code 32J). This surface-mount package supports socketed deployment for development and field service, and provides superior thermal and mechanical reliability compared to PDIP in vibration-prone environments.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49BV002T-12JC?
AT49BV002T-12JC supports two hardware-assisted end-of-program detection methods: DATA polling (I/O7 returns complement of programmed data until completion) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during active programming). Both methods allow firmware to poll asynchronously without fixed delays, improving update efficiency and determinism.
