Product details
Overview
AT49F001NT-70JI 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 features 55 ns read access time, 10 µs typical byte programming, 10-second chip erase, hardware data protection, and sector architecture with 16K-byte boot block, two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K/64K bytes).
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001NT-70JI datasheet, AT49F001NT-70JI pinout, AT49F001NT-70JI application, or AT49F001NT-70JI equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), PLCC-32 package compatibility, boot block lockout capability, DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-program detection, and 5V-only command interface without high-voltage programming.
Technical Context
The AT49F001NT-70JI implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and supports EPROM-like read operation. Its internal program controller manages byte-by-byte programming and sector/chip erase via six-cycle command sequences using address latches on falling WE/CE edges and data latches on rising edges.
It uses a sector-based architecture where the boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH) is programmable lockout-enabled, while parameter blocks (1A000H–1BFFFH, 18000H–19FFFH) and main memory blocks (10000H–17FFFH, 00000H–0FFFFH) support independent erase. RESET pin functionality is disabled per datasheet note for AT49F001N(T) variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits); provides sufficient space for firmware boot code and configuration data in resource-constrained embedded systems. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns max; ensures compatibility with 14 MHz bus timing in legacy microcontroller designs. |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical; enables rapid field updates of small data segments without full-chip erase overhead. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max for full chip; allows predictable in-system reprogramming windows during maintenance or firmware upgrades. |
| Operating Voltage | 5 V ±10%; eliminates need for auxiliary high-voltage programming supplies, simplifying power design. |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C industrial grade; qualified for use in automotive body control modules and industrial PLCs. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA CMOS; minimizes quiescent power draw in battery-backed or low-power sleep modes. |
| Write End Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling); provides software-controlled, deterministic program completion signaling without external timers. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001NT-70JI is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32), compliant with JEDEC MS-016 Variation AE. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch; pins are numbered counterclockwise starting from pin 1 at the notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A0–A16 map directly to memory locations 00000H–1FFFFH. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path for read, program, and identification operations; supports standard microprocessor bus interfacing. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access; prevents bus contention when deasserted. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; places I/O pins in high-impedance state when high, enabling shared bus operation. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during programming/erase command sequences; controls timing of internal pulse generation. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces outputs to high-Z; not functional for boot block override in AT49F001N(T) variants. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply; powers core logic and memory array; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground | Reference ground for all signals and power; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 9 in PLCC package is unconnected; must remain floating-no external tie required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | Enables permanent storage of secure boot code (16K bytes at 1C000H–1FFFFH) while allowing field updates to parameter and application memory blocks. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibition (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes) prevent accidental reprogramming. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Allows real-time software monitoring of program/erase completion without external hardware timers or status registers. |
| 5V-Only Command Interface | Eliminates need for 12 V programming voltage; reduces BOM count and simplifies PCB layout versus EPROM or older Flash devices. |
| Industrial Temperature Rating | Qualified from −40°C to +85°C; supports deployment in under-hood automotive, factory automation, and outdoor industrial equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49F001N-70JI | Same density, timing, and package but boot block located at 00000H–03FFFH instead of 1C000H–1FFFFH; lacks RESET-based boot override. | Used where boot code resides in lowest memory region; incompatible with systems expecting high-address boot block mapping. | Select only if legacy design uses low-address boot vector and does not require boot block reprogramming after lockout. |
| SST39VF010-70-4C-NHE | 5V-only 1 Mbit Flash with 70 ns access, PLCC-32, but uses different command set (SST proprietary) and lacks boot block lockout feature. | Requires firmware driver rewrite; suitable for green-field designs where boot protection is managed externally or not required. | Choose when migrating from Atmel platform and accepting software adaptation cost for higher endurance (100K cycles) and lower standby current (30 µA). |
Compared with AT49F001N-70JI, the AT49F001NT-70JI provides relocated boot block addressing for high-memory boot vectors, while SST39VF010 offers superior endurance and lower power but requires command-set redesign and forfeits hardware boot lockout.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001NT-70JI?
The boot block for AT49F001NT-70JI occupies memory addresses 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16 Kbytes). This high-address location distinguishes it from the AT49F001N variant (00000H–03FFFH) and is confirmed in the datasheet's Notes section and Block Diagram for AT49F001(N)T. The AT49F001NT-70JI uses the T-suffix addressing scheme.
Does AT49F001NT-70JI support 12V RESET-based boot block override?
No, AT49F001NT-70JI does not support 12V RESET-based boot block override. The datasheet explicitly states "The RESET feature is not available for the AT49F001N(T)" and notes that the RESET pin is a DC input on AT49F001N(T) variants. Therefore, once boot block lockout is enabled on AT49F001NT-70JI, reprogramming requires disabling lockout via command sequence before erasing.
What package type is used for AT49F001NT-70JI?
AT49F001NT-70JI uses a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32) package, designated as 32J in Atmel's ordering information. Mechanical dimensions conform to JEDEC MS-016 Variation AE, with pin 1 identified by a corner notch and leads arranged counterclockwise.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49F001NT-70JI?
AT49F001NT-70JI supports two hardware-assisted end-of-program detection methods: DATA polling (reading the last programmed byte returns its complement on I/O7 until completion) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during active programming and stabilizes upon completion). Both methods eliminate need for fixed delay loops in firmware.
What is the maximum erase time for AT49F001NT-70JI?
The maximum erase time for AT49F001NT-70JI is 10 seconds for a full chip erase, as specified in the datasheet's "Fast Erase Cycle Time" feature and AC characteristics table. Sector erase times are not individually specified but fall within this bound; the device internally times all erase operations without external clock dependency.
