Product details
Overview
AT49F001T-55JI 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 firmware applications. It features 55 ns read access time, 10 µs typical byte programming, 10-second chip erase, sector-based architecture (16K boot block + two 8K parameter blocks + 32K/64K main memory), and hardware data protection with VCC sense and noise filtering.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F001T-55JI datasheet, AT49F001T-55JI pinout, AT49F001T-55JI application, or AT49F001T-55JI equivalent, key selection considerations include industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), PLCC-32 package compatibility, boot block lockout functionality with 12V RESET override, DATA polling and toggle-bit program/erase status detection, and 5V-only command interface eliminating high-voltage programming circuitry.
Technical Context
The AT49F001T-55JI implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte software sequences for chip/sector erase and boot lockout enablement. Its memory map places the 16K boot block at address range 1C000H–1FFFFH - distinct from the AT49F001(N) variant - enabling secure bootloader storage while permitting independent reprogramming of parameter and main memory blocks.
Operation relies on standard microprocessor control signals (CE/OE/WE) with dual-line bus contention prevention; RESET is active-low and supports 12V override for boot block reprogramming. Internal timing eliminates external clocks during erase, and hardware protections (VCC sense <3.8V inhibit, WE/CE pulse rejection <15 ns) prevent inadvertent writes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - sufficient for compact boot firmware and configuration data storage. |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns maximum - enables direct interfacing with 12–15 MHz microcontrollers without wait states. |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical (50 µs max) - supports fast field updates of small data segments without system interruption. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds typical for full chip erase - deterministic timing allows precise host software scheduling of background erase operations. |
| End-of-Operation Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and toggle-bit (I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed delay timers during programming/erasing. |
| Power Dissipation | 275 mW active (50 mA @ 5V), 100 µA CMOS standby - suitable for low-power industrial systems with intermittent firmware access. |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - validated for long-term field deployment in programmable logic controllers and instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F001T-55JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32) package per JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE, with pin 1 identifier and J-leads. Dimensions: 12.45 mm × 14.95 mm × 3.35 mm (max height). Lead coplanarity ≤0.102 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A0–A16 directly map to memory locations 00000H–1FFFFH. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read data output and program data input; high-impedance when CE or OE is high. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access; inhibits programming if held high. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to prevent bus contention; high disables outputs to high-Z state. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences; noise-filtered against <15 ns glitches. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces outputs to high-Z; 12V input enables boot block override (not available on N(T) variants). |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% supply; internal VCC sense disables programming if voltage drops below ~3.8V. |
| GND | Ground | Reference ground for all I/O and internal circuitry; decoupling required near VCC pin. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 32 in PLCC package - must remain unconnected; not internally bonded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Lockout | 16K boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH) supports permanent or 12V-overridable write protection - ensures bootloader integrity across firmware updates. |
| 5V-Only Command Interface | Eliminates external high-voltage generators; all read, program, erase, and lockout commands executed using standard 5V logic levels. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, WE/CE noise filtering (<15 ns), and control-line inhibition (OE low/CE high/WE high) prevent spurious writes during power transients or noise events. |
| Two End-of-Operation Detection Methods | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and toggle-bit (I/O6 toggling) provide redundant, software-pollable status - improves reliability in interrupt-constrained environments. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Specified for –40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for use in programmable automation controllers, motor drives, and outdoor telemetry systems. |

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 | 55 ns access, 1 Mbit, 3.3V core (5V tolerant I/O), PLCC-32; lacks boot block lockout and 12V RESET override. | Requires level-shifting for pure 5V systems; no hardware-protected boot region - unsuitable where bootloader immutability is mandated. | Select only if migrating to 3.3V design or when boot protection is handled externally via software/firmware. |
| MX29LV160CBTI-55G | 55 ns access, 16 Mbit (2M × 8), 3.0V–3.6V supply, TSOP-48; includes CFI-compliant boot block but no 12V override. | Higher density and lower voltage incompatible with 5V-only legacy designs; different pinout and package preclude drop-in replacement. | Consider for new 3.3V designs needing larger capacity and industry-standard CFI interface; not a functional substitute for AT49F001T-55JI. |
Compared with SST39VF010-55-4C-NHE and MX29LV160CBTI-55G, the AT49F001T-55JI uniquely delivers 5V-only operation with hardware-enforced boot block security and field-recoverable 12V override - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial controllers requiring guaranteed bootloader integrity without system redesign.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F001T-55JI?
The boot block for AT49F001T-55JI 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 upper-address placement isolates boot code from main application memory, enhancing security and simplifying memory management in systems with large firmware footprints.
Does AT49F001T-55JI support 12V programming or only 5V operation?
AT49F001T-55JI is strictly a 5V-only device for all normal read, program, and erase operations. However, applying 12.0V ±0.5V to the RESET pin enables override of the boot block programming lockout feature - this is the sole use case for 12V and does not constitute general programming voltage. Standard operation requires only 5V ±10%.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49F001T-55JI?
AT49F001T-55JI provides two hardware-supported methods: DATA polling (reading the programmed byte returns its complement on I/O7 until completion) and toggle-bit detection (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during operation and stabilizes upon completion). Both allow host software to poll asynchronously without fixed delays, improving system responsiveness and reliability.
What package type is used for AT49F001T-55JI?
AT49F001T-55JI is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32), compliant with JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE. Pin 1 is marked by a corner notch; pin 32 is NC (no connect). This surface-mount package offers robust mechanical stability and thermal performance for industrial PCB assemblies.
Can AT49F001T-55JI be used in place of AT49F001-55JI?
No - AT49F001T-55JI and AT49F001-55JI are functionally distinct. The "T" suffix denotes a specific memory map variant with boot block relocated to 1C000H–1FFFFH and modified sector erase addressing. Interchanging them will cause incorrect boot code execution or failed erase/program operations due to mismatched address decoding.
