Product details
Overview
AT49BV1614AT-90TI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 16-Mbit (1M × 16 / 2M × 8) 3.3V Flash memory IC with dual-plane architecture, 70 ns access time, and sector erase capability across 39 independently lockable sectors. It supports in-system programming via single 2.65–3.3V supply and is used in embedded boot code storage for industrial controllers and network edge devices.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV1614AT-90TI datasheet, AT49BV1614AT-90TI pinout, AT49BV1614AT-90TI application, or AT49BV1614AT-90TI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-pin TSOP/ CBGA package options, byte/word mode select via BYTE pin, erase suspend functionality, VPP-accelerated programming, and 128-bit protection register for secure firmware storage.
Technical Context
The AT49BV1614AT-90TI implements a dual-plane memory architecture-Plane A contains eight 4K-word and seven 32K-word sectors; Plane B contains twenty-four 32K-word sectors-enabling concurrent read while program/erase occurs in the opposite plane. Its command-driven operation uses six-byte sequences (e.g., Chip Erase, Sector Lockdown) latched on CE/WE edges with address/data timing compliant to standard microprocessor write cycles.
Hardware data protection includes VCC sense (<1.8V inhibits programming), 10 ms power-on delay, noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibit (OE low, CE high, or WE high blocks writes). The RDY/BUSY open-drain output supports OR-tying for multi-device status monitoring during internal operations.

| VCCQ | Output driver supply | Independent 1.8–2.2V or 2.65–3.3V regulation enables mixed-voltage I/O interfacing (e.g., 3.3V core, 1.8V interface) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-plane concurrent operation | Enables real-time read from one memory plane while programming/erasing the other-eliminating system stalls during firmware updates |

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 | Single-plane architecture; no erase suspend; 48-pin TSOP; 90 ns access; 2.7–3.6V supply | Lacks dual-plane concurrency and sector lockdown-requires full-chip erase for updates; lower security assurance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for concurrent operation and secure boot features |
| MX29LV160DBTI-90G | Boot-block architecture (top/bottom); 48-pin TSOP; 90 ns; 2.7–3.6V; lacks VPP pin and 128-bit register | Fixed boot sector layout limits flexibility vs. AT49BV1614AT-90TI's configurable 39-sector map | Choose for legacy designs already using MXIC boot Flash footprint and command set |
Compared with SST39VF1601C-90-4C-EKE and MX29LV160DBTI-90G, the AT49BV1614AT-90TI delivers unique value through dual-plane concurrency (reducing system latency during updates), hardware-enforced sector lockdown (enabling certified secure boot), and VPP-accelerated programming (cutting production line cycle time).

FAQ
What voltage levels are supported for VPP on the AT49BV1614AT-90TI?
The AT49BV1614AT-90TI accepts VPP at 5.0V ± 0.5V or 12.0V ± 0.5V to accelerate program and erase operations. When VPP is ≤ VCC, the device uses VCC for programming/erase. If VPP is within 0.3V of VCC (2.65V < VCC < 3.3V), VCC is selected automatically. The VPP pin may be left unconnected for standard VCC-only operation. This behavior is explicitly defined in the DC Characteristics table of the AT49BV1614AT-90TI datasheet.
How does the BYTE pin affect data bus configuration in the AT49BV1614AT-90TI?
In the AT49BV1614AT-90TI, the BYTE pin determines data width: logic "1" configures the device for 16-bit operation (I/O0–I/O15 active); logic "0" enables 8-bit mode where only I/O0–I/O7 are driven, and I/O15 functions as LSB address input (A-1). This dual-mode capability allows a single AT49BV1614AT-90TI design to serve both 16-bit microprocessors and 8-bit controllers without PCB redesign-confirmed in the Device Operation section of the AT49BV1614AT-90TI datasheet.
Can the AT49BV1614AT-90TI perform reads during an erase operation?
Yes-the AT49BV1614AT-90TI supports concurrent read during program/erase via its dual-plane architecture: reads from Plane B are fully permitted while erasing Plane A, and vice versa. Additionally, the Erase Suspend feature allows temporary halting of an erase in one sector to read/program any other sector in the same plane. These capabilities are intrinsic to the AT49BV1614AT-90TI's silicon design and are documented in the Technical Context and Device Operation sections of its datasheet.
What is the purpose of the 128-bit protection register in the AT49BV1614AT-90TI?
The AT49BV1614AT-90TI's 128-bit protection register comprises two 64-bit blocks: Block A is factory-programmed with a unique identifier and cannot be altered; Block B is user-programmable and optionally lockable to prevent rewrites. It serves as a hardware root of trust for secure boot, device authentication, and cryptographic key storage-functions verified in the Protection Register Addressing Table and Command Definition sections of the AT49BV1614AT-90TI datasheet.
Does the AT49BV1614AT-90TI support top or bottom boot block configuration?
Yes-the AT49BV1614AT-90TI supports both top and bottom boot block configurations, determined by factory programming. This allows system designers to align protected boot sectors at either end of the memory map depending on bootloader size and partitioning strategy. The configuration is fixed per device and documented in the Ordering Information section of the AT49BV1614AT-90TI datasheet; it does not require runtime selection or pin strapping.
