Product details
Overview
AT49F001-70PI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 5V-only, 1 Mbit (128K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It features 55 ns read access time, 10 µs/byte typical programming, 10-second chip erase, hardware data protection, and sector-based architecture with a 16 KB boot block supporting programming lockout.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001-70PI datasheet, AT49F001-70PI pinout, AT49F001-70PI application, or AT49F001-70PI equivalent, key selection considerations include its 32-pin PDIP package, 5V-only operation without high-voltage programming, boot-block write protection, DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-program detection, and compatibility with standard EPROM read timing interfaces.
Technical Context
The AT49F001-70PI implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte software sequences for chip/sector erase and boot-lock enable. Its memory is partitioned into one 16 KB boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32 KB and 64 KB), enabling selective erasure and secure firmware storage.
It operates using standard CE/OE/WE control logic identical to EPROMs, supports hardware reset for operation abort, and includes VCC sense, noise filtering, and input-level inhibition to prevent inadvertent writes. The RESET pin is DC on this variant and does not support 12V override for boot-block reprogramming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - directly replaces 27C010 EPROMs in legacy designs. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns maximum - ensures compatibility with 14 MHz Z80, 8051, and 68K bus cycles without wait states. |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical - enables fast field updates of configuration or calibration data without system interruption. |
| Chip Erase Time | 10 seconds - allows full memory reset during manufacturing or recovery without external high-voltage equipment. |
| End-of-Program Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed timing delays in host firmware. |
| Power Dissipation | 275 mW active (50 mA @ 5.5 V), 100 µA CMOS standby - suitable for low-power industrial controllers with battery backup. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - supports firmware update logging and parameter tuning over product lifetime. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001-70PI is supplied in a 32-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 0.600" wide (32P6), with standard through-hole mounting and JEDEC MS-001 compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A0 least significant bit. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers; high-impedance when CE or OE high. |
| 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 control; used with CE to prevent bus contention during shared-memory operation. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming. |
| RESET | Reset Input | DC pin (no 12V override); halts ongoing program/erase and forces outputs to high-Z on logic low. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0 V ±10% supply; internal regulation enables stable operation across voltage tolerance. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of VCC pin. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 32 (DIP package) is unconnected - must remain floating per datasheet; no PCB trace or pull-up/down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | 16 KB boot sector (00000H–03FFFH) can be permanently write-protected via command sequence to safeguard bootloader code. |
| 5V-Only Reprogrammability | Eliminates need for +12V or +21V programming supplies - simplifies system power design and enables in-circuit updates. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock prevent accidental writes. |
| Fast Sector Erase Capability | Enables independent erasure of 8 KB parameter blocks - ideal for storing calibrated sensor offsets or user preferences. |
| Standard EPROM-Compatible Interface | Uses CE/OE/WE timing identical to 27C010 - allows drop-in replacement without logic or timing redesign. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT29C010A-70PU | Same 1 Mbit density, 70 ns access, but lacks boot-block lockout and uses different command set (no sector erase). | Not suitable for secure bootloader storage; requires full-chip erase for any update. | Select only if boot protection is unnecessary and legacy AT29C command compatibility is required. |
| SST39VF010-70-4C-NHE | 1 Mbit, 70 ns, 3.3 V operation (not 5 V); includes single-byte write and uniform 4 KB sectors. | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; incompatible voltage domain precludes direct replacement. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs; not a functional substitute for AT49F001-70PI in 5 V systems. |
Compared with AT29C010A-70PU and SST39VF010-70-4C-NHE, the AT49F001-70PI uniquely delivers 5V-only operation with dedicated boot-block lockout and true sector erase - making it the only option among the three for secure, field-upgradable firmware in legacy 5 V embedded platforms.

FAQ
What is the pin 1 identifier and package type for AT49F001-70PI?
The AT49F001-70PI uses a 32-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 0.600" wide (32P6). Pin 1 is located at the left end of the top row, marked by a notch or dot on the package body. Pin 32 is NC (no connect) and must remain unconnected on the PCB.
Does AT49F001-70PI support 12V RESET override for boot-block reprogramming?
No. The AT49F001-70PI is the "N" variant (AT49F001N-70PI), and its RESET pin is DC-only - it does not support 12V override for boot-block reprogramming. This capability is reserved for the "T" variant (AT49F001T) only.
What is the boot block address range and lockout behavior for AT49F001-70PI?
The AT49F001-70PI (N variant) has a 16 KB boot block spanning addresses 00000H to 03FFFH. Once the boot block lockout feature is enabled via the six-byte command sequence, the contents become permanently immutable under 5.5 V operation - no erase or program commands affect this region.
How is end-of-program detected on AT49F001-70PI without fixed timing delays?
The AT49F001-70PI supports two hardware methods: DATA polling (read last programmed byte - I/O7 returns complement until complete) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles during operation, stops when complete). Both allow host firmware to poll asynchronously and proceed immediately upon confirmation.
Can AT49F001-70PI be used as a direct replacement for 27C010 EPROMs?
Yes. The AT49F001-70PI uses identical CE/OE/WE timing, pinout, and 5V operation as the 27C010. It requires no hardware changes - only firmware updates to implement command sequences for programming and erase operations instead of UV erasure.
