Product details
Overview
AT49BV320-11TI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 32-Mbit (2M × 16 / 4M × 8) single-supply Flash memory IC designed for embedded code storage and data logging in microcontroller-based systems. It operates at 2.65–3.3 V, delivers 85 ns access time, supports sector erase with 63 × 64 KB + 8 × 8 KB sectors, and integrates suspend/resume functionality for concurrent read/program operations - enabling real-time firmware updates in industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV320-11TI datasheet, AT49BV320-11TI pinout, AT49BV320-11TI application, or AT49BV320-11TI equivalent, key selection considerations include its TSOP-48 package, word-mode-only operation, VPP write-protection pin, sector lockdown security, and compatibility with 8-/16-bit bus interfaces in boot memory and firmware storage designs.
Technical Context
The AT49BV320-11TI implements a command-register-based architecture with embedded program/erase algorithms, eliminating external high-voltage generation. Its internal write state machine handles timing-critical operations including chip erase (max 10 s), sector erase (200 ms), and byte/word programming (15 µs), all verified via Data Polling (I/O7), Toggle Bit (I/O6), or RDY/BUSY output.
It features dual-voltage I/O support (VCCQ separate from VCC), hardware data protection (VCC sense, noise filtering, WE/CE pulse rejection), and a 128-bit protection register with factory-programmed Block A and user-programmable/lockable Block B - enabling secure boot code storage and field-upgradable firmware partitioning.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 32 Mbit (2,097,152 × 16-bit or 4,194,304 × 8-bit) - supports full firmware images for 8-/16-bit MCUs without external address multiplexing. |
| Access Time | 85 ns - enables direct execution (XIP) from flash in systems with ≤11.8 MHz bus clocks. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.65 V to 3.3 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic domains and low-power embedded rails; no 5 V tolerance required. |
| Program Time | 15 µs per word - reduces firmware update latency; supported by Single Pulse Program Mode for simplified host control. |
| Sector Architecture | 71 sectors: 63 × 64 KB + 8 × 8 KB - allows granular firmware partitioning (e.g., bootloader in protected 8 KB sectors, application in 64 KB blocks). |
| Standby Current | 10 µA - suitable for battery-backed systems requiring persistent nonvolatile storage with minimal quiescent draw. |
| VPP Pin Function | Write-protection enable: program/erase inhibited if VPP < 0.8 V; enabled at ≥1.65 V - provides hardware-level write lock independent of software commands. |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV320-11TI is packaged in a 48-pin Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP Type I), pin-compatible with industry-standard x16 Flash memories. The device operates exclusively in word mode (I/O0–I/O15 active); BYTE pin is not implemented.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | 21-bit address bus supporting full 2M-word addressing; A-1 not used (byte mode disabled). |
| I/O0–I/O15 | Data I/O (x16) | 16-bit bidirectional data path; no byte-lane tri-state - simplifies 16-bit MCU interface design. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; combined with OE enables bus contention avoidance in multi-device systems. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; latches data only when CE is also low - ensures deterministic read timing. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates command latching and embedded program/erase cycles. |
| RESET | Device Initialization | Hardware reset input; forces read/standby mode and halts ongoing operations - critical for safe power-cycle recovery. |
| VPP | Write Protection | Dedicated voltage-controlled write lock; must be tied to VCC (≥1.65 V) for programming - prevents accidental writes during brownout. |
| RDY/BUSY | Status Output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating internal operation progress; supports wired-OR for multi-device status monitoring. |
| VCCQ | Output Power Supply | Separate 2.65–3.3 V supply for I/O drivers - isolates output swing from core VCC noise in mixed-signal systems. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase Suspend/Resume | Allows reading from or programming any non-erasing sector while another sector erases - enables real-time diagnostics during firmware update. |
| Program Suspend/Resume | Permits reading any location while a word program is suspended - supports interrupt-driven host firmware with minimal latency impact. |
| Sector Lockdown | Per-sector write-protection activated via command; locked sectors remain read-only until power cycle - secures bootloader against corruption. |
| 128-bit Protection Register | Factory-programmed 64-bit ID + user-programmable/lockable 64-bit block - enables device authentication and encrypted firmware binding. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, 10 ms power-on delay, WE/CE noise filtering (15 ns), and VPP level monitoring - eliminates spurious writes under transient conditions. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Boot Memory |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE | 3.3 V only, 70 ns access, 48-pin TSOP, same density but no VPP pin or sector lockdown. | Lacks hardware write protection and secure boot features; relies on software locks only. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where security and robustness are secondary to speed and footprint. |
| MX29LV320ETTI-70G | 3.0 V core, 70 ns access, 48-pin TSOP, supports CFI query but no suspend/resume or 128-bit protection register. | No erase/program suspend capability; requires full sector erase for partial updates. | Prefer when CFI-compatibility and broad toolchain support outweigh need for concurrent operation. |
Compared with SST39VF3201-70-4C-EKE and MX29LV320ETTI-70G, AT49BV320-11TI uniquely combines hardware VPP write lock, sector lockdown, and suspend/resume - making it optimal for safety-critical, field-upgradable, and real-time embedded systems where firmware integrity and operational continuity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for AT49BV320-11TI?
The AT49BV320-11TI operates from 2.65 V to 3.3 V for both VCC and VCCQ. This single-supply range eliminates need for level shifters in 3.3 V systems. VPP must be ≥1.65 V for program/erase; below 0.8 V, all write operations are inhibited - ensuring robustness during brownout conditions. The device draws only 10 µA in standby, supporting battery-powered applications.
Does AT49BV320-11TI support byte-mode operation?
No, AT49BV320-11TI operates exclusively in word mode (16-bit data path). Unlike the AT49BV321(T) variant, it lacks the BYTE pin and does not support 8-bit bus configuration. I/O0–I/O15 are always active, and A-1 functionality is not implemented. Designs requiring byte-mode access must use AT49BV321-11TI or equivalent.
How does sector lockdown work on AT49BV320-11TI?
Sector lockdown on AT49BV320-11TI is enabled per sector via a six-bus-cycle command. Once activated, the sector becomes read-only until the next power cycle or RESET assertion. Locked sectors retain their contents during chip erase and resist accidental reprogramming - ideal for storing immutable bootloader code. Detection is possible via software read at address 00002H within the sector.
What status indicators confirm completion of program/erase on AT49BV320-11TI?
AT49BV320-11TI offers three concurrent status methods: RDY/BUSY pin (active-low open-drain), Data Polling (I/O7 toggles/complements), and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles). All require checking I/O5 (erase/program error) and I/O3 (VPP level) to confirm success. The configuration register determines whether automatic return to read mode occurs post-operation - default is "00" (auto-return).
Is AT49BV320-11TI pin-compatible with other 48-pin TSOP Flash memories?
AT49BV320-11TI uses standard 48-pin TSOP Type I pinout (JEDEC MO-141) and is functionally compatible with common x16 Flash footprints. However, pin functions like VPP and RDY/BUSY differ from JEDEC-standard devices - e.g., SST39VF3201 lacks VPP, and MX29LV320E uses different command sets. PCB layout reuse requires verification of control signal mapping and timing compliance.
