Product details
Overview
AT49BV8192A-90TC from Atmel is an 8-megabit (512K × 16 or 1M × 8) single-voltage Flash memory IC with 90 ns read access time, organized in four sector blocks (8K-word boot block, two 4K-word parameter blocks, and 496K-word main array), supporting byte/word programming and hardware data protection for embedded firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT49BV8192A-90TC datasheet, AT49BV8192A-90TC pinout, AT49BV8192A-90TC application, or AT49BV8192A-90TC equivalent, this device serves as a drop-in replacement for legacy 3V Flash in boot code, parameter storage, and firmware update subsystems requiring sector-level erase control, CMOS standby current under 50 µA, and 10,000 write cycles.
Technical Context
The AT49BV8192A-90TC implements a command-register-based architecture with internal erase/program control, eliminating external high-voltage programming requirements. It supports both byte (I/O0–I/O7 active, A-1 on I/O15) and word (I/O0–I/O15 active) modes via the BYTE pin, and uses standard CE/OE/WE timing compatible with microprocessor buses.
Its sector architecture enables selective erasure: boot block (00000H–01FFFH), two parameter blocks (02000H–02FFFH and 03000H–03FFFH), and main memory (04000H–7FFFFH). Erase operations are internally timed - chip erase completes in ≤10 seconds, sector erase in same duration - with Data Polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) for cycle completion detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 8 Mbit (512K × 16 or 1M × 8 organization) |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns - enables direct execution from Flash in 20 MHz+ bus systems without wait states |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - supports single-supply operation in battery-backed or low-power embedded systems |
| Active Current | 25 mA at 5 MHz - defines power budget for active firmware reads during system boot or runtime |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - ensures ultra-low quiescent draw during sleep or idle states |
| Erase/Program Cycles | 10,000 minimum - guarantees field-upgrade durability for industrial firmware deployments |
| Sector Erase Time | ≤10 seconds - allows predictable, bounded firmware update windows without blocking host CPU |
Pinout & Package
AT49BV8192A-90TC is packaged in a 48-lead TSOP (Type 1, 48T), 12 mm × 20 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant plastic package with gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 512K-word addressing; A-1 appears on I/O15 in byte mode |
| I/O0–I/O15 | Data I/O (Word Mode) | 16-bit bidirectional data bus when BYTE = logic "1" or open; I/O15 repurposed as LSB address (A-1) in byte mode |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data I/O (Byte Mode) | 8-bit data path activated when BYTE = logic "0"; I/O8–I/O14 tri-stated |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; dual-line control prevents bus contention |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches command sequences and initiates program/erase cycles |
| BYTE | Mode Select | Configures interface width: logic "1"/open = 16-bit word mode; logic "0" = 8-bit byte mode |
| RESET | Reset Input | Halts ongoing operations and forces high-impedance outputs; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | No-connect pin - functionally inert; may be tied to VCC, GND, 5 V, or left floating |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pins (e.g., pins 9, 10, 14, 15, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 41, 42, 43); must not be routed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | Hardware-enforced write protection for 8K-word boot sector (00000H–01FFFH), preventing accidental corruption of bootloader code |
| Internal Command Execution | Eliminates need for external high-voltage generators - all erase/program operations executed autonomously after 4–6 bus-cycle command sequences |
| Data Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual asynchronous status reporting: I/O7 complement indicates program completion; I/O6 toggling signals active erase/program state |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), 10 ms power-on delay, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line gating prevent spurious writes |
| Flexible Bus Interface | Supports both 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessor buses via single BYTE pin; no PCB redesign needed when migrating between data widths |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Sector-erasable nonvolatile memory supporting atomic write of configuration subsets using dedicated parameter blocks. Use Value: 4K-word parameter blocks allow rapid, low-risk config reloads; hardware data protection prevents corruption during brown-out or hot-swap events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF800A-90-4C-EKE | 8 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; lacks boot block lockout and RESET-based override; uses different command set | Requires software-managed protection; unsuitable where hardware-enforced bootloader integrity is mandated | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for hardware boot lockout and 12 V recovery capability |
| MX29LV800CTTI-90G | 8 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; top-boot configuration only; no BYTE pin - fixed 16-bit interface | Cannot support 8-bit bus systems; boot block located at F0000H–FFFFFH, incompatible with AT49BV8192A's bottom-boot layout | Choose only for designs already committed to top-boot architecture and 16-bit-only data paths |
Compared with SST39VF800A-90-4C-EKE and MX29LV800CTTI-90G, the AT49BV8192A-90TC uniquely delivers bottom-boot sector protection with hardware lockout enable/disable, BYTE-pin configurable bus width, and 12 V RESET override - critical for safety-certified and mixed-bus embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the AT49BV8192A-90TC?
The AT49BV8192A-90TC is organized as 512K words × 16 bits or 1M bytes × 8 bits. Its physical address space spans 00000H to 7FFFFH (512K words), partitioned into one 8K-word boot block (00000H–01FFFH), two 4K-word parameter blocks (02000H–02FFFH and 03000H–03FFFH), and a 496K-word main memory array (04000H–7FFFFH). This structure is confirmed in the device block diagram and sector address definitions.
Does the AT49BV8192A-90TC require external high voltage for programming?
No, the AT49BV8192A-90TC does not require external high voltage for programming. It operates from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply and executes all erase and program functions internally using command sequences. The VPP pin is functionally inert and may be left unconnected, tied to VCC, GND, or 5 V without affecting operation - a key design advantage over older Flash devices.
How is the BYTE pin used on the AT49BV8192A-90TC?
The BYTE pin on the AT49BV8192A-90TC selects interface width: logic "1" or open configures the device for 16-bit word mode (I/O0–I/O15 active); logic "0" enables 8-bit byte mode (I/O0–I/O7 active, I/O8–I/O14 tri-stated, I/O15 repurposed as A-1 address input). This flexibility allows the same AT49BV8192A-90TC to serve both 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessor buses without hardware change.
What is the purpose of the RESET pin on the AT49BV8192A-90TC?
The RESET pin on the AT49BV8192A-90TC halts ongoing operations and places outputs in high-impedance state when pulled low. Critically, applying 12.0 V ± 0.5 V to RESET overrides the boot block programming lockout, enabling reprogramming of protected sectors even after lockout activation - a vital recovery mechanism for deployed AT49BV8192A-90TC systems.
How does the AT49BV8192A-90TC indicate completion of a program or erase cycle?
The AT49BV8192A-90TC provides three concurrent status mechanisms: Data Polling (I/O7 returns complement of written data until completion, then true data), Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles during operation, stops when complete), and - on compatible variants - RDY/BUSY output. For AT49BV8192A-90TC in TSOP package, Data Polling and Toggle Bit are the primary, pin-compatible methods confirmed in the AC characteristics table.
