Product details
Overview
AT49F001N-90JI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 5V-only, 1 Mbit (128K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 90 ns read access time, 10 µs typical byte programming, 10-second chip erase, 16K-byte boot block with programmable lockout, and operates across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001N-90JI datasheet, AT49F001N-90JI pinout, AT49F001N-90JI application, or AT49F001N-90JI equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, sector architecture details, hardware data protection mechanisms, DC/AC timing specifications, and industrial-grade supply chain support - all specific to the PLCC-packaged AT49F001N-90JI variant.
Technical Context
The AT49F001N-90JI implements a sector-erasable Flash architecture with one 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes). Its command-based operation uses standard CE/OE/WE control lines and requires no external high-voltage programming supply.
It supports DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) for end-of-program/erase detection, integrates VCC sense (<3.8V inhibit), noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and hardware write inhibition via OE/CE/WE logic states - enabling robust in-circuit reprogramming in industrial environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits); sufficient for firmware boot code and configuration data in 8-bit microcontroller systems. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max; enables direct execution from Flash (XIP) in timing-critical 5 MHz bus systems without wait states. |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical; allows rapid field updates of small data segments without full-block erasure overhead. |
| Chip Erase Time | 10 seconds max; deterministic internal timing eliminates need for external erase controllers or watchdog supervision. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles; validated for long-term reliability in industrial logging and calibration storage applications. |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±10%; single-supply compatibility simplifies power design versus mixed-voltage Flash alternatives. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial control, automotive body electronics, and factory automation deployments. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001N-90JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch; pins are numbered counterclockwise starting from the notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word addressing; A0–A16 directly map to memory location selection during read/write cycles. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access; enables bus contention avoidance in multi-device systems. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; places I/O pins in high-impedance state when high, allowing shared data bus operation. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence; controls entry into programming/erase modes. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; carries command codes, program data, and read outputs; supports DATA polling on I/O7 and Toggle Bit on I/O6. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; not used for boot block override (unavailable on AT49F001N-90JI). |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% supply; powers core logic and memory array; internal regulation ensures stable programming voltage independent of rail variation. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; decoupling at VCC/GND pair is required for reliable 90 ns timing compliance. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 (PLCC); physically present but internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines. |
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, ensuring bootloader integrity during field firmware updates. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<3.8V disable), noise-filtered WE/CE inputs (<15 ns rejection), and triple-line inhibit (OE high / CE high / WE high) prevent accidental writes in electrically noisy environments. |
| Two End-of-Operation Detection Methods | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) provide software-flexible, bus-compatible status monitoring without requiring dedicated status registers. |
| Low Power Operation | 50 mA active current and 100 µA CMOS standby current enable use in battery-backed or energy-constrained industrial nodes. |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | Rated for –40°C to +85°C operation with full AC/DC specification compliance, supporting deployment in motor drives, PLCs, and outdoor instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49F002N-90JI | 2 Mbit (256K × 8) density; identical 90 ns timing, PLCC package, and sector architecture; shares same command set and voltage specs. | Supports larger firmware images; requires updated address decoding for A17; boot block remains 16K but occupies 00000H–03FFFH. | Select when firmware size exceeds 128K bytes; pinout and interface are identical - no PCB change required. |
| SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE | 1 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.3V core (5V tolerant I/O); different command set; no boot block lockout; TSOP-32 package only. | Lacks hardware boot protection and industrial temp grade; requires level-shifting for 5V-only systems; not drop-in compatible. | Consider only if migrating to 3.3V system architecture; verify command compatibility and implement external write protection logic. |
Compared with AT49F001N-90JI, AT49F002N-90JI offers double capacity with zero interface changes, while SST39VF010 demands voltage redesign and forfeits boot security - making AT49F001N-90JI optimal for cost-sensitive, safety-aware 5V industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the memory organization and density of the AT49F001N-90JI?
The AT49F001N-90JI contains 1 Mbit (131,072 words × 8 bits) of Flash memory organized into a 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes). This structure enables selective erasure and secure bootloader storage - a key feature of the AT49F001N-90JI architecture.
Does the AT49F001N-90JI support in-system programming without high voltage?
Yes, the AT49F001N-90JI supports full 5V-only in-system reprogramming. It requires no external 12V supply: all commands (read, byte program, sector erase, chip erase, boot lock) execute using standard 5V logic levels on CE, OE, WE, and address/data lines - a defining capability of the AT49F001N-90JI.
What is the function of the RESET pin on the AT49F001N-90JI?
On the AT49F001N-90JI, the RESET pin is an active-low input that halts ongoing operations and forces I/O pins into high-impedance state. Unlike some variants, it does not support 12V boot block override - that feature is explicitly unavailable on the AT49F001N-90JI per the datasheet.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in the AT49F001N-90JI?
The AT49F001N-90JI provides two hardware-supported 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 operation, then stabilizes). Both are usable at any point during the AT49F001N-90JI program cycle.
Is the AT49F001N-90JI pin-compatible with other AT49F001x variants?
Yes - all AT49F001x variants (including AT49F001N-90JI, AT49F001-90JI, AT49F001T-90JI) share identical 32-pin PLCC pinouts, signal definitions, and command sets. Differences are limited to boot block address mapping (00000H–03FFFH for AT49F001N vs. 1C000H–1FFFFH for AT49F001T) and RESET functionality.
