Product details
Overview
AT49F001AT-55JI from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) 5V-only in-system reprogrammable Flash memory with 55 ns read access time, 3-second chip erase cycle, 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 AT49F001AT-55JI datasheet, AT49F001AT-55JI pinout, AT49F001AT-55JI application, or AT49F001AT-55JI equivalent, this device delivers deterministic timing for legacy 8-bit bus interfaces, hardware data protection against inadvertent writes, and boot-sector integrity control-critical for secure bootloader implementations in industrial controllers and telecom edge devices.
Technical Context
The AT49F001AT-55JI implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and supports software command sequences for sector erase, chip erase, byte programming, and boot block lockout enable/disable. Its internal program control logic eliminates external high-voltage circuitry, enabling true 5V-only operation.
Memory organization is fixed at 131,072 words × 8 bits, partitioned into one 16K-byte boot block (address range 1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes). The RESET pin enables boot block override at 12V, but only on T-suffix variants-not AN(T) variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), directly maps to 128KB firmware image storage |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns max - ensures compatibility with 12–18 MHz 8-bit microcontrollers without wait states |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - enables rapid field updates of small configuration or calibration data |
| Chip Erase Time | 3 seconds max - allows full firmware replacement within tight maintenance windows |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - supports multi-year field upgrade cycles in deployed equipment |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - eliminates need for auxiliary voltage rails in legacy 5V system designs |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - enables low-power retention during system sleep modes |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001AT-55JI is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-016 compliant, with 1.27 mm pitch and body size 12.45 × 14.95 mm. Pin 1 identifier is a corner chamfer; pins are arranged in counter-clockwise order starting from top-left when viewed from top.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131K-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 gate; controls data bus drive to prevent contention during shared-bus operation |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming |
| RESET | Reset / Boot Override | Logic-high = normal operation; 12V pulse enables boot block reprogramming even when lockout is active |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; supports DATA polling (I/O7) and toggle bit (I/O6) for program/erase status detection |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply; internal voltage sensing disables programming if VCC drops below ~3.8V |
| GND | Ground | Reference for all I/O and power pins; decoupling required per JEDEC PLCC layout guidelines |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 32 (PLCC) is unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per design rules |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | 16K-byte boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH) can be permanently write-protected via software command, securing bootloader code |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line inhibit (OE low/CE high/WE high) prevent accidental writes |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | I/O7 complement indicates programming progress; I/O6 toggling signals erase/program completion-no external timer needed |
| 5V-Only Reprogrammability | No external 12V programming voltage required; all commands executed using standard 5V logic levels |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Specified for –40°C to +85°C case temperature, validated for use in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced cooling |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Telecom Line Card Bootloader |
|---|---|

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 density; no RESET-based boot override | Lacks 12V RESET override for boot block; requires level-shifting in pure 5V systems | Choose for lower active power (15 mA vs. 20 mA) and extended voltage flexibility where boot override is unused |
| MX29LV001CTTI-55G | 3V-only operation; 55 ns access; same 1 Mbit density; boot block at 00000H–03FFFH (not top-aligned) | Boot block location differs (bottom vs. top); incompatible command set for lockout/override | Choose only if redesigning PCB to accommodate 3V supply and revised address decoding for bottom-boot architecture |
Compared with AM29LV001BT-55REI and MX29LV001CTTI-55G, the AT49F001AT-55JI provides unique top-aligned boot block addressing (1C000H–1FFFFH) and hardware-enabled 12V RESET override-enabling secure, field-serviceable bootloader updates without firmware changes or PCB modifications.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001AT-55JI?
The AT49F001AT-55JI has its 16K-byte boot block located at address range 1C000H to 1FFFFH (top-aligned), distinct from the AT49F001A(N) variant which places it at 00000H–03FFFH. This top alignment simplifies memory mapping for reset vector execution in many 8-bit microcontroller designs. The AT49F001AT-55JI datasheet confirms this range in Section 4 and the Block Diagram.
Does AT49F001AT-55JI support 12V RESET-based boot block override?
Yes, the AT49F001AT-55JI supports 12V ±0.5V applied to the RESET pin to temporarily disable boot block lockout and allow reprogramming-even after lockout has been enabled. This feature is explicitly documented for T-suffix variants in the "Boot Block Programming Lockout Override" section and is not available on AN(T) variants. The AT49F001AT-55JI's RESET pin functionality is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Operating Modes tables.
What package type is used for AT49F001AT-55JI?
The AT49F001AT-55JI uses a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as 32J per Atmel's ordering information table. Its dimensions (12.45 × 14.95 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch) comply with JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE. Pin 1 is identified by a corner chamfer, and pin 32 is NC-verified in the PLCC mechanical drawing and Pin Configurations diagram.
How does AT49F001AT-55JI detect end-of-program without external timing?
The AT49F001AT-55JI provides two hardware methods: DATA polling (I/O7 returns complement of written data until completion, then true data) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles during programming/erasing and stops when complete). Both are usable at any time during the cycle and eliminate need for fixed delay timers. These mechanisms are specified in the AC Characteristics and Waveforms sections of the AT49F001AT-55JI datasheet.
Is AT49F001AT-55JI compatible with standard EPROM socket footprints?
Yes-the AT49F001AT-55JI uses identical pinout, voltage levels, and read timing (CE/OE/WE control) as industry-standard 27C010 EPROMs, making it a functional drop-in replacement in existing sockets. However, write operations require software command sequences instead of high-voltage pulses, so host firmware must be updated to issue proper unlock/program commands. This compatibility is confirmed in the "READ" and "Device Operation" sections of the AT49F001AT-55JI documentation.
