Product details
Overview
AT49F001AN-55JU from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) 5V-only in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 45 ns read access time, 30 µs/byte programming, 3-second chip erase, 10,000 write cycles, and features hardware data protection with boot block lockout for secure firmware storage in industrial control applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001AN-55JU datasheet, AT49F001AN-55JU pinout, AT49F001AN-55JU application, or AT49F001AN-55JU equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, sector architecture details, PLCC-32 package mapping, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative parts for firmware storage design-in.
Technical Context
The AT49F001AN-55JU implements a sector-based Flash architecture with one 16K-byte boot block (address range 00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K + 64K bytes). Its command-set-driven operation uses standard CE/OE/WE controls and supports software-triggered chip/sector erase and byte programming without high-voltage inputs.
Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and dual-line write inhibit (OE low, CE high, or WE high). The RESET pin is NC on this variant, disabling both reset functionality and boot block lockout override - distinguishing it from T-suffix variants.

Pinout & Package
AT49F001AN-55JU 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 chamfer; pins are numbered counterclockwise starting from the pin-1 identifier.
| 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 read access - prevents bus contention. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to gate data outputs during read - enables shared-bus arbitration. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence - enables standard microprocessor timing. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data I/O Bus | 8-bit bidirectional data path; supports DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and toggle bit (I/O6) for cycle completion detection. |
| GND | Ground | Signal reference plane; pin 17 in PLCC - requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise during programming. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply; must exceed 3.8V for programming - internal VCC sense prevents inadvertent writes during brownout. |
| RESET | No Connect (NC) | Pin 1 in PLCC is unconnected - disables reset functionality and boot block lockout override per datasheet note. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 32 in PLCC is unconnected - must remain floating; not usable as strap or debug pin. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the function of the RESET pin on AT49F001AN-55JU?
The RESET pin on AT49F001AN-55JU is a No Connect (NC) terminal per the datasheet - it is unconnected internally and must remain floating. Unlike T-suffix variants, this part lacks reset functionality and boot block lockout override capability, simplifying system design but removing runtime reprogramming safeguards.
Does AT49F001AN-55JU support in-system programming without external high voltage?
Yes, AT49F001AN-55JU supports full in-system programming using only 5V supply - no external 12V is required. All commands (chip erase, sector erase, byte program, lockout enable) are executed via standard microprocessor write cycles to specific address/data sequences, eliminating need for HV charge pumps or dedicated programmers.
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001AN-55JU?
The boot block for AT49F001AN-55JU occupies addresses 00000H to 03FFFH (16K bytes), located at the bottom of the memory map. This fixed bottom-boot architecture differs from T-suffix variants that place the boot block at the top (1C000H–1FFFFH), ensuring compatibility with legacy 8051/Z80 reset vector mappings.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49F001AN-55JU?
AT49F001AN-55JU provides two hardware methods: DATA polling (reading last programmed byte returns complement on I/O7 until complete) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles during programming/erase and stabilizes upon completion). Both operate without external clocks and can be polled at any time during the cycle.
Is AT49F001AN-55JU compatible with standard EPROM socket footprints?
Yes, AT49F001AN-55JU in PLCC-32 package (32J) is pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin EPROM sockets such as 27C512, sharing identical pinout for A0–A16, I/O0–I/O7, CE, OE, WE, VCC, and GND - enabling direct replacement in existing designs without PCB modification.
