Product details
Overview
AT49F001NT-90TI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 5V-only, 1 Mbit (128K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 90 ns read access time, 10 µs/byte typical programming time, and sector-based erase architecture including a 16 KB boot block with programmable lockout. It operates across –40°C to +85°C and is used for firmware storage and code execution in industrial microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001NT-90TI datasheet, AT49F001NT-90TI pinout, AT49F001NT-90TI application, or AT49F001NT-90TI equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, PLCC-32 package mapping, boot-block protection behavior, DATA polling/Toggle Bit status detection, and real-world use cases in embedded boot code storage and parameter retention.
Technical Context
The AT49F001NT-90TI implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte software sequences for chip/sector erase and boot lockout enable. Its memory is partitioned into one 16 KB boot block (address range 1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32 KB and 64 KB), all erasable independently.
It supports standard EPROM-like read timing with CE/OE/WE control, hardware data protection via VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and dual end-of-operation detection via DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling). RESET pin is DC-only (no 12 V override) per AT49F001N(T) variant specification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - directly replaces EPROMs in legacy 8-bit bus systems. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max - ensures compatibility with 11 MHz Z80/8051 bus cycles without wait states. |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical (50 µs max) - enables fast field updates of configuration data without system downtime. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max for full chip or sector - deterministic timing simplifies host firmware timeout handling. |
| End-of-Operation Detection | DATA polling (I/O7) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) - eliminates need for external timers during program/erase. |
| Boot Block Protection | 16 KB (1C000H–1FFFFH), lockout enabled via 6-byte command - secures bootloader code against accidental overwrite. |
| Power Dissipation | 275 mW active (50 mA @ 5 V), 100 µA CMOS standby - suitable for low-power industrial controllers. |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - validated for firmware update cycles over 5+ years in deployed equipment. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001NT-90TI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE), measuring 12.57 mm × 15.11 mm × 3.56 mm (max height), with J-leads and pin 1 identifier notch. Pin 1 is DC (no connect) per AT49F001N(T) variant specification.
| 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 location bits. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | 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; used with CE to prevent bus contention during shared-memory operation. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence timing. |
| RESET | Reset Input | DC-only input (no 12 V override); forces outputs to high-Z and halts ongoing operations when pulled low. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0 V ±10%; internal VCC sense disables programming if voltage drops below 3.8 V. |
| GND | Ground | Signal and power reference; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of VCC/GND pins. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 (PLCC top view) is designated NC - must remain unconnected per datasheet note. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Erase Architecture | Independent erase of 16 KB boot block, two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32 KB/64 KB) - enables selective firmware updates without full reflash. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<3.8 V), noise filtering (<15 ns), and control-line inhibition (OE low/CE high/WE high) - prevents spurious writes during power transients or EMI events. |
| Boot Block Lockout | 16 KB region (1C000H–1FFFFH) permanently protected after 6-byte command; lockout status readable at 1C002H - ensures bootloader integrity in unattended systems. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | I/O7 returns complement until byte program completes; I/O6 toggles during erase/program - eliminates polling delays and simplifies interrupt-driven host firmware. |
| 5V-Only Operation | No external 12 V or 21 V required for programming or erase - reduces BOM count and simplifies power design versus EPROM/EEPROM alternatives. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C operation with 100 µA standby current - certified for deployment in factory automation, motor drives, and outdoor metering. |

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 | 3.3 V core (5 V tolerant I/O), 90 ns access, same 1 Mbit density and PLCC-32 package. | Requires level-shifting for pure 5 V systems; lacks boot block lockout command set. | Choose for lower active power (20 mA) and migration path to 3.3 V designs; verify RESET and command compatibility. |
| MX29LV160CBTI-90G | 3.0 V core, 90 ns access, 16 Mbit density, TSOP-48 package; boot block at bottom (0x000000). | Higher density but incompatible pinout and voltage; requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation. | Choose only when scaling memory capacity; not drop-in - evaluate voltage translation, timing margins, and sector map alignment. |
Compared with SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV160CBTI-90G, the AT49F001NT-90TI provides guaranteed 5 V-only operation, hardware-enforced boot block lockout, and identical PLCC-32 footprint - making it the sole option for legacy 5 V industrial systems requiring field-upgradable secure boot code.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001NT-90TI?
The boot block for AT49F001NT-90TI occupies addresses 1C000H to 1FFFFH (16 KB). This differs from the base AT49F001(N) variant (00000H–03FFFH) and is confirmed in the "Notes" section of the datasheet. The boot block lockout feature, once enabled via the 6-byte command sequence, prevents erasure or programming of this region at ≤5.5 V.
Does AT49F001NT-90TI support 12 V RESET override for boot block reprogramming?
No. The AT49F001NT-90TI is an AT49F001N(T) variant, and the datasheet explicitly states "The RESET feature is not available for the AT49F001N(T)" and "This feature is not available on the AT49F001N(T)". Therefore, the 12 V override on RESET to unlock the boot block is absent - boot block protection is permanent once enabled.
What package type is used for AT49F001NT-90TI, and is pin 1 connected?
AT49F001NT-90TI uses a 32-lead PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier) package, designated as 32J. Per the ordering information table and note in the datasheet, pin 1 is a "Don't Connect" (DC) terminal - it must remain unconnected on the PCB and is not electrically functional.
How does DATA polling work on AT49F001NT-90TI during byte programming?
During byte programming, reading the just-loaded address returns the bitwise complement of the programmed data on I/O7. When programming completes, true data appears on I/O7. This allows host firmware to poll I/O7 without timers - the transition from complement to true value signals completion, enabling immediate next-cycle initiation for multi-byte writes.
What is the maximum erase time for a single sector on AT49F001NT-90TI?
The datasheet specifies a maximum erase cycle time of 10 seconds for any operation - whether full chip erase or individual sector erase. This value (tEC = 10 s) is guaranteed across the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and applies uniformly to all sectors, including the 16 KB boot block (when unlocked) and 8 KB parameter blocks.
