Product details
Overview
AT49F001AN-55JI from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) 5V-only in-system reprogrammable Flash memory with 55 ns read access time, 30 µs/byte programming, and sector-based architecture including a 16K-byte boot block with programmable lockout. It operates across the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is used in embedded firmware storage for microcontroller-based systems requiring field-upgradable code.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001AN-55JI datasheet, AT49F001AN-55JI pinout, AT49F001AN-55JI application, or AT49F001AN-55JI equivalent, key selection criteria include its PLCC-32 package, 5V single-supply operation, hardware data protection features, and boot-block security for secure boot code retention.
Technical Context
The AT49F001AN-55JI implements a sector-erase Flash architecture with one 16K-byte boot block, two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes). Its command interface uses standard CE/OE/WE control lines and supports software-controlled chip erase, sector erase, and byte programming via six-cycle command sequences.
It features DATA polling (I/O7 complement detection) and toggle-bit (I/O6) methods for end-of-program/erase cycle detection, plus hardware safeguards including VCC sense (<3.8V inhibit), noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and write-inhibit logic (OE low, CE high, or WE high).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - directly maps to 16-bit microcontroller data bus without glue logic. |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns maximum - enables direct interfacing with 12–18 MHz microcontrollers without wait states. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - supports real-time firmware patching in embedded applications with minimal latency. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 3 seconds maximum for full chip erase - allows rapid field updates during maintenance windows. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - qualifies for long-life industrial control firmware storage. |
| Power Dissipation | 20 mA active current / 50 µA CMOS standby - suitable for low-power battery-backed or energy-conscious systems. |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5V logic families and eliminates need for voltage translators. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001AN-55JI is housed in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch; pin 1 is NC (no connect) on this variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A11 is don't-care in 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 address/data on falling/rising edges for command and programming cycles. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; carries command data, program data, and read outputs; supports DATA polling on I/O7 and toggle-bit on I/O6. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% supply; internal VCC sense disables programming if voltage drops below ~3.8V. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal logic. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-impedance outputs; not used for boot-lock override (unavailable on AN variant). |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 is NC - must be left unconnected; no internal connection or function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture | Independent erasability of boot block (16K), parameter blocks (2×8K), and main memory (32K+64K) enables selective firmware updates without full reflash. |
| Boot Block Lockout | Hardware-enforced write protection for boot code region (00000H–03FFFH); once enabled, prevents accidental overwrite under 5.5V - critical for system boot integrity. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Dual asynchronous status reporting (I/O7 complement and I/O6 toggling) eliminates need for fixed timing delays during programming/erase, simplifying host controller firmware. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sensing, noise filtering, and multi-signal write inhibit (OE/CE/WE) prevent spurious writes during power transients or EMI events. |
| 5V-Only Operation | No external high-voltage programming supply required - reduces BOM count and PCB complexity versus EPROM or older Flash devices. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM29LV001BT-55REI | 3V core with 5V I/O tolerance; 55 ns access; 1 Mbit; TSOP-32 package only - no PLCC option. | Requires level-shifting for pure 5V systems; lacks dedicated boot-block lockout command set. | Prefer when migrating to lower-voltage platforms or when TSOP footprint is mandated. |
| MX29LV001CTTI-55G | 5V-only; 55 ns access; 1 Mbit; PLCC-32 available; boot sector is top-aligned (1C000H–1FFFFH), not bottom-aligned like AT49F001AN. | Boot block location differs - requires address remapping in existing designs using bottom-boot layout. | Choose for new designs needing second-source availability; verify boot sector address mapping against bootloader requirements. |
Compared with AM29LV001BT-55REI and MX29LV001CTTI-55G, the AT49F001AN-55JI uniquely offers bottom-aligned 16K boot block (00000H–03FFFH) with explicit lockout enable/disable commands and native PLCC-32 packaging - making it optimal for retrofitting legacy 5V EPROM-based systems without board redesign.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001AN-55JI?
The AT49F001AN-55JI uses the bottom-boot configuration: its 16K-byte boot block occupies addresses 00000H to 03FFFH. This is distinct from the AT49F001AT variant, which places the boot block at 1C000H–1FFFFH. The AT49F001AN-55JI's boot block location is fixed and cannot be relocated via configuration bits.
Does AT49F001AN-55JI support RESET-pin-based boot block override?
No. The AT49F001AN-55JI does not support 12V RESET-pin override of the boot block lockout feature. That functionality is explicitly unavailable on the AN variant per the datasheet note: "The RESET feature is not available for the AT49F001AN(T)." Once enabled, boot block protection is permanent under standard 5V operation.
What package type is used for AT49F001AN-55JI?
The AT49F001AN-55JI uses a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as 32J per Atmel's ordering information. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch and is a no-connect (NC) pin - it must remain unconnected in the PCB layout.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49F001AN-55JI?
The AT49F001AN-55JI supports two hardware methods: DATA polling (reading the programmed byte returns its complement on I/O7 until completion) and toggle-bit detection (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during programming and stops upon completion). Both methods allow the host controller to poll asynchronously without fixed timing loops.
Is AT49F001AN-55JI compatible with standard EPROM socket footprints?
Yes - the AT49F001AN-55JI in PLCC-32 package is pin-compatible with industry-standard 27C010 EPROMs (1 Mbit, 5V) and shares identical DC and AC timing interfaces (CE/OE/WE control, A0–A16 address, I/O0–I/O7 data). No PCB changes are needed for drop-in replacement, though firmware must implement Flash-specific command sequences instead of EPROM programming algorithms.
