Product details
Overview
AT49F001T-55JC from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 5V-only, 1 Mbit (128K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 55 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16K boot block + two 8K parameter blocks + 96K main memory), and hardware data protection. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems requiring field-upgradable firmware.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001T-55JC datasheet, AT49F001T-55JC pinout, AT49F001T-55JC application, or AT49F001T-55JC equivalent, key selection considerations include its PLCC-32 package, 5V single-supply operation, boot block lockout capability, DATA polling/Toggle Bit programming status detection, and compatibility with standard EPROM read timing interfaces.
Technical Context
The AT49F001T-55JC implements a command-register-based architecture for erase and program operations using six-byte software sequences (e.g., 5555h/AAh → 2AAAh/55h → 5555h/80h → …). Its memory map places the 16K boot block at address range 1C000h–1FFFFh, distinct from the AT49F001(N) variant's 00000h–03FFFh layout.
It supports byte-by-byte programming (10 µs typical), sector erase (10 s max), and chip erase - all internally timed with no external clocks required. Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line gating (OE low / CE high / WE high disables writes).
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 8-bit bus systems. |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns max - enables direct interface with 12–18 MHz microcontrollers without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - single-rail operation eliminates need for 12 V programming supplies. |
| Active Current | 50 mA typical - compatible with standard 5 V logic power budgets. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA CMOS (commercial temp) - suitable for low-power embedded sleep modes. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max (full chip or sector) - deterministic timing simplifies host firmware timeout handling. |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - validated for frequent field firmware updates over product lifetime. |
| Data Retention | 20 years at 85°C - meets industrial-grade reliability requirements for unattended operation. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001T-55JC is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE, with dimensions 12.5 mm × 15.1 mm × 3.5 mm (max height). Pin 1 identifier is a corner chamfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A16 used only for addresses ≥128K (e.g., boot block at 1C000h). |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8051, Z80, and 68K families; high-impedance when CE or OE inactive. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access - prevents bus contention in shared-memory systems. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; allows data gating independent of CE - essential for multiplexed bus arbitration. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence timing - enables standard microprocessor write cycles. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming after lockout. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm to maintain stable read/write margins. |
| GND | Ground | Signal reference; separate ground plane recommended to minimize noise coupling during erase/program pulses. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 32 (PLCC) is unconnected - must remain floating; not usable as spare I/O or ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | 16K boot block (1C000h–1FFFFh) can be permanently write-protected via command sequence - ensures bootloader integrity during field updates. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and control-line gating prevent accidental writes - eliminates need for external write-protection logic or firmware guards. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit Status Detection | I/O7 complement and I/O6 toggling provide real-time, bus-compatible program/erase completion signals - removes dependency on fixed timing delays in host code. |
| 5V-Only Reprogrammability | No external high-voltage generator required - simplifies PCB design and reduces BOM cost versus EPROM or older Flash devices. |
| Standard EPROM-Compatible Read Interface | CE/OE/WE timing matches industry-standard EPROMs - enables drop-in replacement without modifying existing memory controller logic. |
| Industrial Temperature Range Support | Rated for –40°C to +85°C operation (industrial grade variants exist) - suitable for automotive body control, industrial HMIs, and outdoor equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF010-55-4C-NHE | 3.3 V core (5 V tolerant I/O), 55 ns access, 1 Mbit, PLCC-32; lacks boot block lockout and RESET override. | Requires level-shifting for pure 5 V systems; no hardware-protected boot region - relies on software-only protection schemes. | Select when migrating to lower-power 3.3 V designs and boot security is managed in firmware. |
| MX29LV160CBTI-70G | 3.0 V supply, 70 ns access, 16 Mbit density, TSOP-48; boot block at top/bottom, no 12 V RESET override. | Higher density but incompatible pinout and voltage; requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation for sector addressing. | Choose for new designs needing >1 Mbit capacity and 3 V operation - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with SST39VF010-55-4C-NHE and MX29LV160CBTI-70G, the AT49F001T-55JC uniquely delivers 5 V-only operation with hardware-enforced boot block protection and 12 V RESET override - critical for legacy 5 V industrial systems requiring field-serviceable secure boot.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001T-55JC?
The boot block for AT49F001T-55JC occupies address range 1C000h to 1FFFFh (16 Kbytes). This differs from the base AT49F001(N) variant, which locates the boot block at 00000h–03FFFh. The AT49F001T-55JC's upper-address boot block placement facilitates separation from main application code in larger memory maps.
Does AT49F001T-55JC support 3.3 V operation?
No, AT49F001T-55JC is strictly a 5 V-only device. Its DC specifications require VCC = 5.0 V ±10%, and it lacks 3.3 V core logic or I/O tolerance. Attempting 3.3 V operation will result in undefined behavior, failed reads, and inability to execute command sequences. Use SST39VF010 or similar for 3.3 V systems.
How is boot block programming lockout enabled on AT49F001T-55JC?
Boot block lockout on AT49F001T-55JC is enabled by executing a six-cycle command sequence: write AAh to 5555h, 55h to 2AAAh, 80h to 5555h, AAh to 5555h, 55h to 2AAAh, then 40h to 5555h. Once confirmed, the boot block (1C000h–1FFFFh) becomes permanently protected against erasure or programming at ≤5.5 V.
Can the boot block of AT49F001T-55JC be reprogrammed after lockout is enabled?
Yes - the AT49F001T-55JC supports 12 V override on the RESET pin to temporarily disable boot block protection. Applying 12.0 V ±0.5 V to RESET allows chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming of the locked boot block. Upon return to TTL levels, lockout re-engages automatically.
What package type is used for AT49F001T-55JC?
AT49F001T-55JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as 32J per Atmel's ordering guide. Its footprint conforms to JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE, with pin 1 identified by a corner chamfer and body dimensions of 12.5 mm × 15.1 mm × 3.5 mm max height.
