Product details
Overview
AT49BV802AT-70CU from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 8-Mbit (512K × 16 / 1M × 8) single-supply 3V-only Flash memory IC with sector erase architecture, 70 ns access time, and dual-mode byte/word data interface. It supports in-system programming in embedded controllers, BIOS storage, and industrial firmware updates.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV802AT-70CU datasheet, AT49BV802AT-70CU pinout, AT49BV802AT-70CU application, or AT49BV802AT-70CU equivalent, key selection considerations include sector lockdown capability, suspend/resume for concurrent read/program operations, CFI compliance, TSOP/CBGA package options, and 100,000 erase cycle endurance.
Technical Context
The AT49BV802AT-70CU implements a 23-sector architecture with eight 8K-byte (4K-word) and fifteen 64K-byte (32K-word) sectors - distinct from the AT49BV802A variant's sector layout. Its command-set-driven operation uses six-byte sequences for chip/sector erase and lockdown, and supports both hardware and software product identification modes.
It features three status detection methods: READY/BUSY open-drain output, Data Polling on I/O7, and Toggle Bit on I/O6 - all configurable via a two-bit status configuration register. The device integrates a factory-programmed 64-bit block and user-programmable 64-bit block in its 128-bit protection register, with lockable Block B for secure firmware keys.

Pinout & Package
AT49BV802AT-70CU is available in 48-lead TSOP (Type 1) and 48-ball CBGA packages. Both packages share identical pin functions and signal mapping.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 512K-word addressing; A-1 alias on I/O15 in byte mode |
| I/O0–I/O15 / I/O15(A-1) | Data I/O / LSB Address | Configurable x16 (word) or x8 (byte) interface; I/O15 serves as A-1 in byte mode for extended addressing |
| CE, OE, WE | Chip/Output/Write Enable | Three independent controls prevent bus contention; OE/CE low + WE high = read mode |
| BYTE | Interface Mode Select | Logic high = x16 word mode (I/O0–I/O15 active); logic low = x8 byte mode (I/O0–I/O7 active, I/O15 = A-1) |
| RDY/BUSY | Open-Drain Status Output | Active-low indicates ongoing program/erase; supports wired-OR across multiple devices on shared bus |
| RESET | Hardware Initialization | Pulse low ≥500 ns forces return to read/standby mode and clears suspend states |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Erase Suspend/Resume | Interrupt sector erase to read/program other sectors - enables real-time firmware update without halting system operation |
| Program Suspend/Resume | Pause active byte/word programming to read any non-suspended location - supports diagnostic access during write |
| Sector Lockdown | Per-sector write-protection activated via six-cycle command - secures boot loader in SA15–SA22 while allowing app updates elsewhere |
| 128-bit Protection Register | Factory-block A (immutable ID) + user-block B (lockable) - stores cryptographic keys or calibration data with tamper resistance |
| Single-Pulse Program Mode | After six-byte entry sequence, subsequent writes require only WE pulse - reduces host CPU overhead during bulk programming |

FAQ
What is the difference between AT49BV802A and AT49BV802AT variants?
The AT49BV802AT-70CU differs from the AT49BV802A in sector layout: AT49BV802AT allocates the first 8 sectors (SA0–SA7) as 64K-byte blocks and the last 15 (SA8–SA22) as 8K-byte blocks, enabling top-boot configuration ideal for bootloader isolation. The AT49BV802A reverses this arrangement. Both share identical timing, voltage, and feature sets including suspend/resume and CFI.
Does AT49BV802AT-70CU support both x8 and x16 data bus configurations?
Yes, AT49BV802AT-70CU supports both configurations via the BYTE pin: logic high enables x16 (I/O0–I/O15 active), logic low enables x8 (I/O0–I/O7 active, I/O15 repurposed as A-1). This flexibility allows direct interfacing with 8-bit microcontrollers or 16-bit SoCs without external glue logic.
How does the sector lockdown feature work in AT49BV802AT-70CU?
AT49BV802AT-70CU implements per-sector lockdown using a six-cycle command (555h/AAh → AAAh/55h → 555h/80h → 555h/AAh → AAAh/55h → SA/60h). Once locked, a sector becomes read-only until power cycle or reset. Lock status is verified by reading address 00002h within the sector - I/O0 = high indicates lockdown enabled.
Can AT49BV802AT-70CU be used in automotive applications?
While AT49BV802AT-70CU is not AEC-Q100 qualified, its -40°C to +85°C operating range, 100,000 erase cycles, and hardware data protection (VCC sense, 10 ms power-on delay) align with non-safety-critical automotive use cases such as body control module configuration storage - provided system-level qualification is performed.
What status detection methods does AT49BV802AT-70CU provide for program/erase completion?
AT49BV802AT-70CU offers three independent methods: READY/BUSY pin (open-drain active-low), Data Polling on I/O7 (complement then true data), and Toggle Bit on I/O6 (repeated reads toggle until completion). All are configurable via the status register and usable concurrently for redundant verification in safety-critical systems.
