Product details
Overview
AT49BV1614-90TI from Atmel is a 16-Mbit (1M × 16 / 2M × 8) 2.7–3.6 V Flash memory IC with 90 ns access time, dual-plane architecture enabling concurrent read-while-program/erase, and sector erase capability across 40 independently lockable sectors. It supports in-system programming and operates across –40°C to +85°C for industrial applications including embedded boot code storage and firmware updates.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV1614-90TI datasheet, AT49BV1614-90TI pinout, AT49BV1614-90TI application, or AT49BV1614-90TI equivalent, key selection considerations include its bottom/top boot block configuration, erase suspend/resume functionality, VPP-assisted fast programming, READY/BUSY signaling, and TSOP-48 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The AT49BV1614-90TI implements a dual-plane memory architecture: Plane A contains eight 4K-word, two 16K-word, and six 32K-word sectors; Plane B contains twenty-four 32K-word sectors. This enables simultaneous read from one plane while programming or erasing the other - eliminating wait states during firmware updates.
It features hardware-based sector lockout with 12V RESET override, six-byte command sequences for chip/sector erase and bypass unlock, and three end-of-operation detection methods: RDY/BUSY pin, DATA polling (I/O7), and toggle bit (I/O6/I/O2). The BYTE pin selects x8 or x16 data bus width, and VPP is optional for faster program/erase at lower VCC.

Pinout & Package
AT49BV1614-90TI is packaged in a 48-lead Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP Type 1), pin-compatible with industry-standard 48T footprint. Pin functions are electrically defined and validated per Atmel's official datasheet Rev. 0925B–05/98.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus supporting full 1M-word addressing; A-1 multiplexed on I/O15 in byte mode |
| I/O0–I/O15 | Data I/O (x16) / I/O0–I/O7 + A-1 (x8) | Configurable 16-bit or 8-bit data interface; I/O15 serves as LSB address input in byte mode |
| CE, OE, WE | Chip Enable, Output Enable, Write Enable | Three independent control lines prevent bus contention; standard microprocessor timing compliance |
| BYTE | Bus Width Select | Logic high = x16 mode (I/O0–I/O15 active); logic low = x8 mode (I/O0–I/O7 active, I/O15 = A-1) |
| RDY/BUSY | Open-drain status output | Active-low signal indicates ongoing program/erase; supports wired-OR for multi-device monitoring |
| VPP | Optional programming voltage | 5.0 V ±10% input accelerates program/erase; unused pin must be tied to VCC or GND |
| RESET | Hardware initialization & lockout override | Pulsing low resets device; 12V ±0.5V applied to override sector lockout for secure reprogramming |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-plane concurrent operation | Enables uninterrupted code execution from one memory plane while updating firmware in the other - critical for fail-safe OTA updates |
| Erase suspend/resume | Halts active sector erase to service urgent read/program requests in non-suspended sectors - improves real-time responsiveness |
| Individual sector write lockout | 32K/16K/4K sectors can be permanently protected against accidental overwrite - secures bootloader and calibration data |
| Bypass unlock command | Six-byte sequence eliminates repeated 3-byte programming commands - reduces software overhead and flash wear |
| Triple end-of-operation detection | RDY/BUSY pin, DATA polling (I/O7), and toggle bit (I/O6/I/O2) provide redundant, software- or hardware-driven completion signaling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF1601C-90-4C-EKE | 48-pin TSOP, 16 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; lacks dual-plane and erase suspend | No concurrent read-while-erase; requires full wait-state blocking during updates | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs real-time update requirements and dual-plane is unnecessary |
| MX29LV160DBTI-90G | 48-pin TSOP, 16 Mbit, 90 ns, 2.7–3.6 V; top-boot only, no VPP pin | Fixed boot sector layout; no optional 5 V programming acceleration | Choose for simplified supply design where VPP circuitry adds complexity or board space constraints exist |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AT49BV1614-90TI?
The AT49BV1614-90TI is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 17) and DC/AC Operating Range section (page 11) of the official datasheet Rev. 0925B–05/98. Its qualification covers full functionality - including read, program, and erase operations - across this entire range without derating.
Does the AT49BV1614-90TI support both top-boot and bottom-boot configurations?
Yes, the AT49BV1614-90TI supports both top-boot and bottom-boot sector arrangements. Memory Plane A and Plane B sector maps are explicitly defined for both configurations across pages 7–10 of the datasheet. Boot mode is determined by factory configuration - not user-selectable - and the specific variant (e.g., AT49BV1614 vs. AT49BV1614T) indicates the boot layout.
Can the AT49BV1614-90TI perform reads while erasing or programming?
Yes, the AT49BV1614-90TI supports true concurrent read-while-program/erase via its dual-plane architecture. Reads from Plane B may occur during program/erase in Plane A, and vice versa. This is documented in the Description (page 1), Technical Context (page 2), and Block Diagram (page 3) - eliminating system stalls during firmware updates.
What is the purpose of the VPP pin on the AT49BV1614-90TI?
The VPP pin on the AT49BV1614-90TI accepts 5.0 V ±10% to accelerate program and erase operations at lower VCC levels. It is optional: if unused, it must be tied to VCC or GND. Its function and timing are specified in the Features section (page 1) and AC Characteristics (page 14), and it does not affect core functionality when left unconnected.
How is sector protection implemented and overridden on the AT49BV1614-90TI?
Sector protection on the AT49BV1614-90TI is implemented via a six-command lockout sequence per sector, preventing writes/erases using standard 3.3 V logic. Override requires applying 12.0 V ±0.5 V to the RESET pin - a hardware-controlled mechanism documented in the RESET and Sector Programming Lockout Override sections (pages 4 and 6). This ensures secure, tamper-resistant boot code integrity.
