Product details
Overview
AT49BV1614AT-70TI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 16-megabit (1M × 16 / 2M × 8) 3.3V Flash memory IC with sector erase architecture, 70 ns access time, and dual-plane concurrent read/program-erase capability. It supports byte/word mode via BYTE pin, features erase suspend/resume, and operates in industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) for embedded firmware storage in microcontroller-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV1614AT-70TI datasheet, AT49BV1614AT-70TI pinout, AT49BV1614AT-70TI application, or AT49BV1614AT-70TI equivalent, key selection considerations include its 48-pin TSOP package, VPP-accelerated programming (5V/12V), 128-bit protection register, and sector lockdown for secure boot code retention.
Technical Context
The AT49BV1614AT-70TI implements a dual-plane Flash architecture: Plane A contains eight 4K-word and seven 32K-word sectors; Plane B contains twenty-four 32K-word sectors. This enables concurrent read from one plane while program/erase executes in the other - eliminating read latency during background updates.
Its command-set-driven operation uses six-byte sequences for chip/sector erase and lockdown, and supports hardware reset-initiated recovery from suspended erase or failed programming. The RDY/BUSY open-drain output, Data Polling (I/O7), and Toggle Bit (I/O6/I/O2) provide three independent methods to detect operation completion without polling overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (1,048,576 × 16 or 2,097,152 × 8) - supports firmware images up to 2 MB in byte mode or 1 MB in word mode |
| Access Time | 70 ns - enables direct execution from Flash (XIP) in timing-critical MCU boot paths |
| Supply Voltage | 2.65V–3.3V - compatible with modern low-voltage I/O domains and eliminates need for level shifters |
| Sector Architecture | 39 sectors (31 × 64 KB + 8 × 8 KB) - allows granular firmware partitioning (e.g., bootloader, app, config) |
| Program/Erase Speed | 20 µs/word; 300 ms/sector - balances update speed against write endurance and power burst requirements |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, automotive body electronics, and networking equipment |
| Package | 48-pin TSOP Type I (12 × 20 mm) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV1614AT-70TI is packaged in a 48-pin Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP Type I), pin-compatible with industry-standard JEDEC MO-141AC. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; pin numbering proceeds counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus supporting full 1M-word addressing; A-1 function on I/O15 in byte mode |
| I/O0–I/O15 | Data I/O (x16) / I/O0–I/O7 + A-1 (x8) | Configurable data bus: BYTE=1 → x16; BYTE=0 → x8 with I/O15 repurposed as LSB address |
| CE, OE, WE | Chip Enable, Output Enable, Write Enable | Three-control read interface prevents bus contention; CE+OE low + WE high = read mode |
| RDY/BUSY | Open-drain status output | Active-low indicates ongoing program/erase; supports wired-OR of multiple devices on shared bus |
| VPP | Accelerated Program/Erase Supply | Accepts 5.0V ±0.5V or 12.0V ±0.5V to reduce tBP/tSEC; left unconnected for VCC-only operation |
| RESET | Hardware initialization input | Pulling low halts current operation and forces high-Z outputs; required to exit Single Pulse Program mode |
| BYTE | Bus width select | Logic high = 16-bit word mode; logic low = 8-bit byte mode with tri-stated I/O8–I/O14 |
| VCC, VCCQ, VSS | Core, I/O, and ground supplies | VCCQ decoupling enables mixed-voltage I/O (e.g., 3.3V core / 1.8V I/O) when regulated separately |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-plane concurrent operation | Enables real-time firmware updates: read active application from Plane B while erasing/programming Plane A |
| Erase suspend/resume | Interrupts sector erase to service urgent reads or writes elsewhere in same plane - critical for deterministic response in RTOS |
| 128-bit protection register | Factory-programmed 64-bit block A + user-writable/lockable block B - secures device identity and cryptographic keys |
| Sector lockdown | Per-sector write-protection activated via command; preserves bootloader integrity across field firmware upgrades |
| Hardware data protection | VCC sense, 10 ms power-on delay, noise filtering (<15 ns), and control-line inhibit prevent accidental writes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF1601C-70-4C-EKE | Single-plane architecture; no erase suspend; 48-pin TSOP but different pinout (no VPP, no BYTE) | Lacks concurrent read/erase and sector lockdown - unsuitable for real-time update scenarios | Select only if system requires simpler command set and does not need dual-plane or secure boot features |
| MX29LV160ETTI-70G | Same density and 48-pin TSOP; supports CFI, but no VPP pin or 128-bit protection register | CFI compliance simplifies driver porting; lacks hardware-level sector lockdown and erase suspend | Prefer for legacy BIOS/UEFI platforms needing CFI support, but verify bootloader compatibility with missing security features |
Compared with SST39VF1601C-70-4C-EKE and MX29LV160ETTI-70G, the AT49BV1614AT-70TI uniquely delivers concurrent dual-plane operation, hardware-enforced sector lockdown, and a factory-programmed 128-bit identity register - making it the only option among the three qualified for secure, real-time firmware update architectures.

FAQ
What voltage levels are required for VPP to accelerate programming on the AT49BV1614AT-70TI?
The AT49BV1614AT-70TI requires VPP = 5.0V ± 0.5V or 12.0V ± 0.5V to enable accelerated program/erase operations. If VPP is unconnected or ≤ VCC, the device defaults to VCC-powered operation. Applying VPP within 0.3V of VCC (e.g., 3.0V VCC with 3.2V VPP) causes automatic fallback to VCC - ensuring robustness against marginal supply conditions. The AT49BV1614AT-70TI datasheet specifies these thresholds in the "VPP PIN" section.
How does the BYTE pin affect data bus configuration in the AT49BV1614AT-70TI?
When BYTE = high, the AT49BV1614AT-70TI operates in 16-bit word mode: I/O0–I/O15 are active data lines. When BYTE = low, it switches to 8-bit byte mode: only I/O0–I/O7 carry data, I/O8–I/O14 are tri-stated, and I/O15 functions as A-1 (LSB address). This dual-mode flexibility allows the same AT49BV1614AT-70TI to interface with both 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers without external glue logic.
Can the AT49BV1614AT-70TI perform read operations during an erase cycle?
Yes - the AT49BV1614AT-70TI's dual-plane architecture permits concurrent read from one memory plane while erasing or programming the other. For example, reading from Plane B is fully functional during a Plane A sector erase. If the target read sector resides in the same plane undergoing erase, the Erase Suspend command must first be issued to pause the erase and enable safe access - a capability confirmed in the "Erase Suspend/Resume" section of the AT49BV1614AT-70TI datasheet.
What is the purpose of the 128-bit protection register in the AT49BV1614AT-70TI?
The AT49BV1614AT-70TI's 128-bit protection register comprises two 64-bit blocks: Block A is factory-programmed with a unique, unchangeable identifier; Block B is user-programmable and lockable to store cryptographic keys or device-specific secrets. Once Block B is locked, its contents become read-only - preventing tampering while enabling secure boot verification. This feature is documented in the "128-BIT PROTECTION REGISTER" section of the AT49BV1614AT-70TI datasheet.
Does the AT49BV1614AT-70TI support hardware reset recovery from failed programming?
Yes - asserting RESET low during a program or erase cycle halts the operation and places all outputs in high-impedance state. Upon release, the AT49BV1614AT-70TI returns to read or standby mode, clearing internal state. This provides deterministic recovery from power glitches or watchdog timeouts. The AT49BV1614AT-70TI RESET functionality is detailed in the "RESET" subsection under "Device Operation", confirming its role in fault containment and system stability.
