Product details
Overview
AT49F001AN-45JI from Atmel is a 5V-only, 1 Mbit (128K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory with 45 ns read access time, 30 µs typical byte programming time, and sector-based architecture including one 16K-byte boot block with programmable lockout-used for secure firmware storage in industrial microcontroller boot loaders.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001AN-45JI datasheet, AT49F001AN-45JI pinout, AT49F001AN-45JI application, or AT49F001AN-45JI equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts for embedded firmware storage design and legacy system replacement.
Technical Context
The AT49F001AN-45JI implements a CMOS-based Flash memory architecture with internal program control logic and hardware data protection, supporting standard EPROM-like read timing (CE/OE/WE control) and software command sequences for sector erase, chip erase, and byte programming. Its boot block lockout feature is enabled via six-cycle command sequence and permanently disables reprogramming of the 16K-byte boot sector at ≤5.5 V.
It features DATA polling (I/O7 complement detection) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) for end-of-program/erase cycle detection, operates across –40°C to +85°C, and uses 5V ±10% supply with 20 mA active current and 50 µA CMOS standby current-enabling low-power embedded firmware updates without high-voltage programming circuitry.
Key Specifications

| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits-supports full firmware image storage for 8-bit/16-bit MCUs. |
| Read Access Time | 45 ns max-enables direct execution from Flash (XIP) in timing-critical boot code paths. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical-allows rapid field firmware patching without external high-voltage generators. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 3 seconds max for full chip erase-supports fast in-system reconfiguration during production or service. |
| Operating Voltage | 5V ±10% only-eliminates need for dual-voltage regulators or charge pumps in legacy 5V systems. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade-qualified for deployment in industrial controllers and telecom line cards. |
| Boot Block Size | 16K bytes (00000H–03FFFH)-dedicated secure region for bootloader code, protected by lockout command. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001AN-45JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE), with pin 1 marked by corner notch and lead coplanarity ≤0.102 mm.
| 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-prevents bus contention. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to gate data outputs-enables shared-bus operation with other peripherals. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command cycle-controls all programming/erase operations. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read data output and program data input-compatible with standard microprocessor data buses. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing program/erase and forces high-Z outputs-note: boot block override via 12V on RESET is disabled in AT49F001AN(T) variants. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 (PLCC) is NC-must be left unconnected; no internal bonding or function. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% main supply-powers core logic and I/O buffers; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling. |
| GND | Ground | Signal and power reference-must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture | One 16K-byte boot block + two 8K-byte parameter blocks + two main memory blocks (32K/64K bytes)-enables granular firmware updates without erasing critical bootloader. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<3.8V inhibits programming), noise filter (rejects <15 ns pulses), and control-line inhibit (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes)-prevents accidental corruption during power transients. |
| Boot Block Lockout | Software-enabled permanent write protection for boot sector (00000H–03FFFH) at ≤5.5V-ensures bootloader integrity in deployed systems. |
| End-of-Operation Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling)-eliminates need for fixed delay timers in firmware drivers. |
| Low-Power Standby | 50 µA CMOS standby current-reduces quiescent power in always-on embedded systems with infrequent firmware updates. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM29LV001MT-45EI | 3V core with 5V I/O tolerant; 45 ns access; 1 Mbit (128K × 8); supports CFI query; no dedicated boot block lockout. | Requires 3V supply rail; lacks hardware-enforced boot sector protection-relies on software locks or external logic. | Choose when migrating to lower-voltage systems and CFI compatibility is required; verify bootloader protection scheme separately. |
| MX29LV001CTTI-45G | 3V-only operation; 45 ns access; 1 Mbit (128K × 8); top-boot sector (16K); supports JEDEC-standard commands. | Not 5V-compatible; requires level translation in legacy 5V designs; boot sector location differs (top vs. bottom). | Prefer for new 3V designs needing JEDEC compliance; avoid in existing 5V systems without voltage translation. |

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001AN-45JI?
The AT49F001AN-45JI uses the standard AT49F001AN boot block address range of 00000H to 03FFFH (16K bytes). This bottom-sector layout is fixed for the "N" variant and differs from the "T" variant's top-sector (1C000H–1FFFFH) mapping. The boot block lockout feature applies exclusively to this range once enabled via the six-cycle command sequence.
Does AT49F001AN-45JI support 12V RESET override for boot block reprogramming?
No, AT49F001AN-45JI does not support 12V RESET override. The datasheet explicitly states that the RESET pin boot block programming lockout override feature is unavailable for AT49F001AN(T) variants. Once the boot block lockout is enabled on AT49F001AN-45JI, the 16K-byte region cannot be erased or programmed at any voltage ≤5.5V, and no hardware override exists.
What package type is used for AT49F001AN-45JI?
AT49F001AN-45JI is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), designated as package code "32J". It conforms to JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE, with dimensions 12.319–12.573 mm × 14.859–15.113 mm and pin 1 identified by a corner notch. Pin 1 is a no-connect (NC) terminal and must remain unconnected.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49F001AN-45JI?
AT49F001AN-45JI provides two hardware-supported end-of-program detection methods: DATA polling (reading the programmed byte returns its complement on I/O7 until completion) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during programming and stabilizes upon completion). Both methods eliminate reliance on fixed timing delays and enable efficient polling-based firmware drivers.
What is the maximum number of program/erase cycles guaranteed for AT49F001AN-45JI?
The AT49F001AN-45JI is rated for a typical 10,000 write/erase cycles per memory location. This endurance specification applies to all sectors-including the boot block, parameter blocks, and main memory blocks-and is validated across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) under specified 5V ±10% supply conditions.
