Product details
Overview
AT49F001NT-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 controllers and boot loaders. It features 55 ns read access time, 10 µs/byte typical programming, 10-second chip erase, hardware data protection, and sector architecture with 16K-byte boot block lockout. It operates across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supports standard parallel interface timing.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001NT-90JI datasheet, AT49F001NT-90JI pinout, AT49F001NT-90JI application, or AT49F001NT-90JI equivalent, key selection considerations include boot-block write protection enforcement, 5V-only command compatibility, PLCC-32 package mechanical fit, industrial-grade standby current (300 µA), and DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-operation detection.
Technical Context
The AT49F001NT-90JI implements a parallel-addressed, byte-programmable Flash architecture with internal program control logic and auto-timed erase cycles. Its sector map includes one 16K-byte boot block (address range 1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes).
It uses standard microprocessor CE/OE/WE control signals for read and write operations, supports software command sequences (e.g., 6-cycle chip erase, 4-cycle byte program), and provides dual end-of-operation detection via DATA polling on I/O7 and Toggle Bit on I/O6 - both usable at any point during programming or erasing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits); sufficient for firmware images up to ~128 KB in size |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max; compatible with 11 MHz bus timing without wait states |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical; enables fast field updates of small configuration or calibration data |
| Chip Erase Time | 10 seconds max; deterministic internal timing eliminates need for external clocks or polling overhead |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles; validated for long-term use in firmware update applications |
| Standby Current | 300 µA max (industrial temp); enables low-power retention in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±10%; single-supply operation simplifies power design vs. multi-voltage Flash |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001NT-90JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE. Dimensions: 12.57 mm × 15.11 mm × 3.56 mm (max height), with J-leads and pin 1 identifier corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A16 required for boot block access at 1C000H–1FFFFH |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for Toggle Bit status monitoring |
| 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; enables high-impedance state when high to prevent bus contention |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence timing |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | 5 V supply and ground; VCC sense circuitry inhibits programming if voltage drops below 3.8 V |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 32 (PLCC); must remain unconnected per datasheet - not tied to VCC/GND or pulled |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16K-byte region (1C000H–1FFFFH) permanently protected after enable command; prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line inhibit (OE low/CE high/WE high) prevent spurious writes |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time, software-driven operation completion detection without timer dependencies or external hardware |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent erasure of parameter blocks (8K each) and main memory blocks (32K/64K); enables selective firmware updates |
| 5V-Only Command Set | No 12 V programming voltage required; simplifies system-level power design and eliminates HV charge pumps |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE | 5V-only, 1 Mbit, 90 ns access, PLCC-32; lacks boot block lockout and RESET-based override | Supports basic firmware storage but no hardware-enforced bootloader protection | Choose when boot security is managed externally or unnecessary; verify command set compatibility before migration |
| MX29LV160CBTI-90G | 3V/5V tolerant, 16 Mbit, 90 ns, TSOP-48; includes CFI query and enhanced sector protection | Higher density and modern packaging; requires voltage translation and PCB redesign | Consider for new designs needing scalability; not drop-in due to pin count, voltage, and sector layout differences |
Compared with SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV160CBTI-90G, the AT49F001NT-90JI uniquely delivers industrial-temp boot block lockout with 12 V RESET override in a legacy-compatible PLCC-32 footprint - critical for maintaining firmware integrity in field-deployed systems without board revision.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001NT-90JI?
The boot block for AT49F001NT-90JI occupies addresses 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16 Kbytes). This differs from the base AT49F001(N) variant, which locates the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The AT49F001NT-90JI's upper-address boot block placement avoids conflict with main application code in lower memory space.
Does AT49F001NT-90JI support 12 V programming voltage?
No - the AT49F001NT-90JI is strictly 5V-only for all operations including read, program, and erase. However, applying 12.0 V ±0.5 V to the RESET pin enables override of the boot block programming lockout feature, allowing reprogramming of the protected sector without changing VCC.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49F001NT-90JI?
The AT49F001NT-90JI supports two hardware-assisted methods: DATA polling (I/O7 returns complement of written data until completion, then true data) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0/1 during operation and stabilizes upon completion). Both are usable at any time during programming or erasing without external timers.
What is the meaning of the "NT" suffix in AT49F001NT-90JI?
The "NT" denotes the specific variant combining the "N" (no RESET functionality in earlier versions) and "T" (top-boot architecture with boot block at high address 1C000H–1FFFFH). The AT49F001NT-90JI retains RESET functionality (unlike pure "N") and uses top-boot organization (like "T"), confirmed by datasheet section "AT49F001(N)T" and ordering table.
Can AT49F001NT-90JI be used in place of AT49F001N-90JI?
No - AT49F001NT-90JI and AT49F001N-90JI are not interchangeable. The "NT" variant has top-boot architecture (boot block at 1C000H–1FFFFH) and functional RESET pin with 12 V override, while the "N" variant has bottom-boot (00000H–03FFFH) and no RESET functionality. Software and hardware initialization must match the boot block location.
