Product details
Overview
AT49F001A-45JI from Atmel is a 5V-only, 1 Mbit (128K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 45 ns read access time, 3-second chip erase cycle, byte-by-byte programming at 30 µs/byte, and hardware data protection including VCC sense and noise filtering. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring field-upgradable firmware.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001A-45JI datasheet, AT49F001A-45JI pinout, AT49F001A-45JI application, or AT49F001A-45JI equivalent, key selection considerations include industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), PLCC-32 package compatibility, boot block lockout functionality, and 5V-only command interface without high-voltage programming.
Technical Context
The AT49F001A-45JI implements a sector-architected Flash array with one 16K-byte boot block (address 00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K + 64K bytes). Its internal control logic executes standardized command sequences-including chip erase (6-cycle 555/AAA/555/80/555/AA/555/10), sector erase, and byte programming-without external clocks or timing signals.
It supports EPROM-like read operation via CE/OE/WE control, DATA polling (I/O7 complement detection), and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) for end-of-operation detection. The RESET pin enables system-level reset and, when driven to 12V, overrides boot block lockout-though this feature is disabled on AN/T variants and not applicable to AT49F001A-45JI per its J-suffix PLCC package designation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits); sufficient for bootloader + configuration storage in 8-bit microcontroller systems |
| Read Access Time | 45 ns max; enables direct execution from Flash in timing-critical embedded applications |
| Chip Erase Time | 3 seconds typical; allows rapid firmware updates during production or field service |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical; supports fine-grained patching without full-block rewrites |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±10%; eliminates need for dedicated programming voltage rails or charge pumps |
| Active Current | 20 mA typical at 5 MHz; compatible with standard 5V power budgets in industrial controllers |

Pinout & Package
AT49F001A-45JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE, with 1.27 mm pitch and pin 1 identifier marked by corner cut and chamfer. Package dimensions: 12.32–12.57 mm × 14.86–15.11 mm × 3.18–3.56 mm height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A11–A16 are don't-care in some command cycles |
| 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 access |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches addresses and data during command sequences and byte programming |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low system reset; 12V override enables boot block reprogramming (functional on AT49F001A-45JI) |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Bus | Bi-directional 8-bit data interface; I/O6 provides toggle-bit status; I/O7 provides DATA polling feedback |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; internal VCC sense disables programming if voltage drops below 3.8V |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and programming operations |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 in PLCC package is NC; no electrical connection or routing required |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH) can be permanently write-protected via command sequence to safeguard bootloader integrity |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line inhibition (OE low/CE high/WE high) prevent accidental writes |
| Two End-of-Operation Detection Methods | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) enable software-driven timing independence |
| 5V-Only Command Interface | Eliminates need for 12V programming supplies; all reads, erases, and writes executed using standard 5V logic levels |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Rated for -40°C to +85°C operation; validated for use in programmable logic controllers and motor drives |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Embedded System Bootloader |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49F002A-45JI | 2 Mbit density (256K × 8), same 45 ns access, identical PLCC-32 package and command set | Supports larger firmware images; requires updated address decoding for A17 | Select when future firmware growth exceeds 1 Mbit or dual-bank operation is needed |
| MX29LV001CTTI-45G | 1 Mbit, 45 ns, 3.0V–3.6V core voltage; requires level-shifting for 5V systems; different command set and boot block layout | Lower power consumption but incompatible voltage domain and lockout mechanism | Choose only for new 3.3V designs where legacy 5V compatibility is not required |
Compared with AT49F001A-45JI, AT49F002A-45JI offers double capacity with full pin and command compatibility, while MX29LV001CTTI-45G demands board-level voltage translation and firmware adaptation-making the former a seamless upgrade and the latter a redesign-dependent alternative.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001A-45JI?
The AT49F001A-45JI uses the base AT49F001A configuration with boot block located at address 00000H–03FFFH (16K bytes). This differs from the AT49F001AT variant, which places the boot block at 1C000H–1FFFFH. The boot block supports permanent lockout via command sequence to protect critical startup code.
Does AT49F001A-45JI support 12V RESET override for boot block reprogramming?
Yes, AT49F001A-45JI supports 12V ±0.5V applied to the RESET pin to temporarily disable boot block lockout, enabling chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming of protected regions. This feature is functional on the AT49F001A variant and disabled only on AN/T suffix versions.
What package type is used for AT49F001A-45JI?
AT49F001A-45JI uses a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package designated as 32J per Atmel's ordering information. It conforms to JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE, with 1.27 mm lead pitch and mechanical dimensions of 12.32–12.57 mm × 14.86–15.11 mm.
How does hardware data protection work in AT49F001A-45JI?
AT49F001A-45JI implements three hardware protections: (1) VCC sense inhibits programming if supply drops below ~3.8V; (2) Program inhibit requires OE high, CE low, and WE low simultaneously; (3) Noise filter rejects WE/CE pulses shorter than 15 ns. These prevent spurious writes during power transients or EMI events.
Can AT49F001A-45JI be used in place of AT49F001AN-45JI?
No-AT49F001A-45JI and AT49F001AN-45JI differ in RESET pin functionality: the "N" suffix denotes absence of RESET pin override capability. Pin 1 is NC on AT49F001AN-45JI, whereas AT49F001A-45JI retains full 12V RESET override. Substitution requires verification of boot block recovery requirements.
