Product details
Overview
AT49F001-90TI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 5V-only, 1 Mbit (128K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 90 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16K boot block + two 8K parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring field-upgradable firmware.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001-90TI datasheet, AT49F001-90TI pinout, AT49F001-90TI application, or AT49F001-90TI equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 50 mA active current, 300 µA CMOS standby current, boot block programming lockout, and TSOP-32 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AT49F001-90TI implements a command-driven architecture using standard CE/OE/WE control lines and 6-byte software command sequences for chip erase, sector erase, byte programming, and boot block lockout. Its internal program control logic eliminates need for external high-voltage programming circuitry.
Memory organization is partitioned into five distinct sectors: one 16K-byte boot block (address 1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks (1A000H–1BFFFH and 18000H–19FFFH), and two main memory blocks (10000H–17FFFH and 00000H–0FFFFH), enabling selective erasure and firmware modularization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), providing sufficient space for bootloader + application code in 8-bit microcontroller systems |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns - enables direct execution from flash (XIP) in timing-critical embedded applications |
| Operating Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5V logic families and eliminates need for level shifters |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds per chip or sector - supports rapid firmware updates during manufacturing or field service |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical (50 µs max) - allows fine-grained patching without full reflash overhead |
| End-of-Program Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and toggle bit (I/O6 toggling) - enables deterministic host software flow control |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - validated for long-term use in industrial control and telecom equipment |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade operation without derating |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001-90TI is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type I, 8 mm × 20 mm, JEDEC MO-142 BD), pin-compatible with other AT49F001 variants in TSOP-32 format. Pin 9 is NC (no connect) per datasheet Rev. 1008D.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word addressing; A16 selects upper/lower half of memory map |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read/write operations; supports byte-level granularity for firmware patching |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; when high, places outputs in high-impedance state to prevent bus contention |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; used with CE to implement dual-line read control for flexible bus arbitration |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence timing |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing program/erase and forces high-Z outputs; 12V override enables boot block reprogramming |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; internal voltage sensing disables programming if VCC drops below 3.8V |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; decoupling required within 10 mm of VCC pin |
| NC (Pin 9) | No Connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected on PCB to avoid functional interference |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | 16K-byte boot sector (1C000H–1FFFFH) can be permanently write-protected via command sequence, securing bootloader integrity against accidental overwrite |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<3.8V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibition (OE low / CE high / WE high blocks writes) |
| 5V-Only Reprogrammability | Eliminates need for 12V programming supplies or external charge pumps - simplifies system power design and reduces BOM cost |
| Industrial Temperature Support | Rated for −40°C to +85°C operation with 300 µA max CMOS standby current - suitable for outdoor, factory-floor, and automotive under-hood environments |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual end-of-program detection methods allow host MCU to poll I/O7 (complement mode) or monitor I/O6 (toggle) without fixed timeout delays |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49F002-90TI | 2 Mbit (256K × 8) density; identical 90 ns access, TSOP-32 package, and command set | Supports larger firmware images; requires no PCB change but needs address line A17 routed | Select when future firmware growth exceeds 1 Mbit; retains same timing, power, and lockout behavior |
| SST39VF010-90-3C-NHE | 1 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.3V core (with 5V I/O tolerance); different command set and no boot block lockout | Lower active power (20 mA vs. 50 mA); incompatible lockout and reset override features | Choose for 3.3V systems prioritizing power efficiency; not drop-in due to voltage and security feature mismatch |
Compared with AT49F002-90TI, the AT49F001-90TI offers proven density for compact bootloaders; versus SST39VF010-90-3C-NHE, it delivers industrial-grade 5V operation and hardware-enforced boot code protection essential for mission-critical firmware.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the AT49F001-90TI?
The AT49F001-90TI organizes its 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) array into five sectors: a 16K-byte boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks (1A000H–1BFFFH and 18000H–19FFFH), and two main memory blocks (10000H–17FFFH and 00000H–0FFFFH). This structure enables selective erasure and firmware modularity, and is explicitly defined for the AT49F001(N)T variant in datasheet Rev. 1008D.
Does the AT49F001-90TI support boot block programming lockout?
Yes, the AT49F001-90TI supports boot block programming lockout via a six-cycle command sequence (5555H/AA, 2AAAH/55, 5555H/80, 5555H/AA, 2AAAH/55, 5555H/40). Once enabled, the 16K-byte boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH) cannot be erased or programmed at ≤5.5V. The RESET pin at 12V ±0.5V overrides this lockout, a feature confirmed for AT49F001(N)T in the datasheet.
What package type is used for the AT49F001-90TI?
The AT49F001-90TI uses a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type I, 8 mm × 20 mm, JEDEC MO-142 BD). Pin 9 is designated NC (no connect), consistent with the AT49F001(N)(T) family specification. This package is surface-mount compatible and optimized for high-density PCB layouts.
How does the AT49F001-90TI indicate completion of a byte programming cycle?
The AT49F001-90TI provides two hardware-supported methods: DATA polling (reading the programmed byte returns complemented data on I/O7 until completion) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during programming and stops upon completion). Both are characterized timing parameters, not 100% tested, and allow host software to avoid fixed timeouts.
What is the maximum erase cycle time for the AT49F001-90TI?
The maximum erase cycle time for the AT49F001-90TI is 10 seconds for both chip erase and sector erase operations. This value is specified in the "Program Cycle Characteristics" table (tEC = 10 seconds) and applies across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), with no derating required.
