Product details
Overview
AT49BV002T-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/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 90 ns read access time, supports byte-by-byte programming (30 µs/byte typical), features hardware data protection and DATA polling, and is qualified for industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It is commonly deployed in firmware boot storage for industrial controllers and legacy communication modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV002T-90VI datasheet, AT49BV002T-90VI pinout, AT49BV002T-90VI application, or AT49BV002T-90VI equivalent, key selection considerations include its 32-pin VSOP package, boot block lockout capability (address range 3C000H–3FFFFH), sector-erasable architecture (16K boot + two 8K parameter + two main blocks), and compatibility with standard 5V-command protocols despite 3V-only operation.
Technical Context
The AT49BV002T-90VI implements a command-register-based Flash architecture with software-controlled erase and program operations using six-cycle chip erase and sector erase sequences. Its memory map is partitioned into five distinct sectors: 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).
It uses standard EPROM-compatible control signals (CE/OE/WE) for read access and supports both DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) for cycle completion detection. The RESET pin enables system-level reset and - when driven to 12 V - overrides boot block lockout during erase/program cycles, a feature absent in N-suffix variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), organized as 262,144 words × 8 bits - sufficient for full bootloader + configuration data in space-constrained designs. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max - meets timing requirements for 11 MHz bus interfaces without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion or regulated 3.3 V rails, eliminating need for dual-voltage support. |
| Program/Erase End Detection | DATA polling (I/O7) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) - enables deterministic firmware update sequencing without fixed delay loops. |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - suitable for field-upgradable firmware with infrequent updates over product lifetime. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - certified for industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor telemetry units. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV002T-90VI is supplied in a 32-lead Very Thin Small Outline Package (VSOP), 8 mm × 14 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, with gull-wing leads. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise orientation from pin 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A16 select byte location, A17 selects upper/lower half of memory map. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read data output and program data input; 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; controls device activation on shared bus. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; used with CE to prevent bus contention during multi-device reads; high = outputs tri-stated. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control for write/erase command latching; falling edge latches address, rising edge latches data per command cycle. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low system reset; drives outputs to high-Z; 12 V pulse enables boot block override - critical for secure firmware recovery. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 2.7–3.6 V primary supply; internal voltage regulation ensures stable core operation across rail variation. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling during fast transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16K-byte sector (3C000H–3FFFFH) permanently protected after command sequence; prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader while allowing runtime updates to application code. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes) - eliminates spurious writes in noisy industrial environments. |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent erasure of boot block, two 8K parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks - enables modular firmware updates without full chip erase. |
| 12 V RESET Override | Applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to RESET pin during erase/program bypasses boot block lockout - provides secure recovery path for corrupted boot code. |
| Standard Command Protocol | 5V-level command sequences (e.g., 5555H/AAH, 2AAAH/55H) executed over 3V supply - simplifies integration with legacy 5V microcontrollers via level-shifting or direct interface. |

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 | 2 Mbit, 3.0–3.6 V, 90 ns access, 32-pin TSOP; no 12 V RESET override; boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. | Lacks boot block lockout override; fixed boot sector location limits flexibility in memory-mapped systems requiring upper-address boot code. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for secure recovery; verify address mapping compatibility with existing bootloader design. |
| MX29LV200CTTI-90G | 2 Mbit, 3.0–3.6 V, 90 ns access, 48-pin TSOP; C-suffix indicates common boot sector (top/bottom configurable); no 12 V RESET function. | Higher pin count increases PCB area; boot sector configuration requires hardware strap or register setting - less deterministic than AT49BV002T-90VI's command-based lockout. | Prefer for new designs needing top/bottom boot flexibility; avoid if migrating legacy AT49BV002T-90VI layout due to incompatible footprint. |
Compared with SST39VF200A-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV200CTTI-90G, the AT49BV002T-90VI uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, VSOP packaging, fixed upper-address boot block (3C000H–3FFFFH), and 12 V RESET override - making it optimal for secure, space-constrained, field-serviceable embedded systems where bootloader integrity is critical.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49BV002T-90VI?
The boot block for AT49BV002T-90VI occupies addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16 Kbytes), located at the top of the 256K-word memory map. This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49BV002N), which place the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The upper-address placement avoids conflict with standard reset vector locations in many 8-bit microcontrollers and simplifies memory-mapped boot execution.
Does AT49BV002T-90VI support 5V-tolerant inputs?
No, AT49BV002T-90VI does not support 5V-tolerant inputs. All control inputs (CE, OE, WE, RESET) and address/data lines are rated for −0.6 V to VCC + 0.6 V, with VCC max at 3.6 V. Applying 5 V risks permanent damage. However, its command protocol uses 5V-level logic thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min) and accepts 5V command sequences - meaning external 5V microcontrollers can drive it directly only if their I/O pins are 3.3 V tolerant or level-shifted.
How is boot block lockout enabled and verified on AT49BV002T-90VI?
Boot block lockout on AT49BV002T-90VI is enabled via a six-cycle command sequence: 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/80H → 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/40H. Verification is performed in Software Product Identification mode: reading address 3C002H returns I/O0 = high if lockout is active. Once enabled, programming/erasing the boot block requires 12 V applied to RESET - a hardware-gated security mechanism unique to T-suffix devices.
What package type is used for AT49BV002T-90VI?
AT49BV002T-90VI is packaged in a 32-lead Very Thin Small Outline Package (VSOP), designated as package code 32V, with dimensions 8 mm × 14 mm and 0.5 mm lead pitch. This surface-mount package offers lower profile and better thermal performance than PDIP or PLCC alternatives, making it suitable for compact industrial and telecom modules where board space is constrained.
Can AT49BV002T-90VI be erased sector-by-sector?
Yes, AT49BV002T-90VI supports individual sector erase for all five memory regions: the 16K boot block (3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8K parameter blocks (3A000H–3BFFFH and 38000H–39FFFH), and two main memory blocks (20000H–37FFFH and 00000H–1FFFFH). Each sector erase uses a six-bus-cycle command with sector-specific address (SA) and data 30H, enabling targeted updates without affecting unrelated firmware sections.
