Product details
Overview
AT49F002-12JC from Atmel is a 5V-only, 2 Mbit (256K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 120 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16K-byte boot block + two 8K-byte parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) in a 32-lead PLCC package and is used for firmware storage and boot code retention in embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002-12JC datasheet, AT49F002-12JC pinout, AT49F002-12JC application, or AT49F002-12JC equivalent, key selection considerations include its 120 ns read timing, boot block lockout capability, 10,000 write/erase cycle endurance, 50 mA active current, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus interfaces using CE/OE/WE control.
Technical Context
The AT49F002-12JC implements a command-register-based programming model requiring six-byte sequences for chip/sector erase and boot lockout enable. Its internal program control logic eliminates need for external high-voltage generators, supporting 5V-only operation for both read and reprogramming.
It features dual erase methods-full chip erase (≤10 s) and sector-selective erase-and supports DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) for end-of-operation detection. The boot block (00000H–03FFFH) is programmable lockout-enabled via software command sequence and override-capable via 12V RESET input.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits - enables full BIOS/firmware image storage in single device. |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns - defines maximum clock rate for synchronous bus interface without wait states. |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical - determines minimum time between successive byte writes during field updates. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max - sets worst-case latency for sector or chip erase before reprogramming. |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - specifies guaranteed lifetime for firmware update cycles in deployed systems. |
| Power Dissipation | 275 mW typical at 55 ns (commercial temp) - constrains thermal design in dense PCB layouts. |
| Operating Voltage | 5 V ±10% - requires stable 5V rail; no auxiliary voltage rails needed for programming. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F002-12JC is housed in a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016 AE, with 1.27 mm pitch, 18.5 × 18.5 mm body, and pin 1 index mark. Pin 1 is located at corner with diagonal chamfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A16 used for standard access, A17 selects upper half of memory map. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; latched on rising edge of WE/CE during programming, driven during read. |
| 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; places I/O pins in high-impedance state when high, preventing bus contention. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls latching of address/data during programming; must be pulsed per command sequence timing. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; forces outputs to high-Z; 12V pulse enables boot block override - not available on N(T) variants. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 5V supply (VCC) and ground (GND); CMOS standby current ≤100 µA ensures low-power sleep mode. |
| DC | No Connect | Pin 1 on DIP/PLCC and pin 9 on TSOP are unconnected - must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Lockout | 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH) supports permanent secure code storage; lockout enabled via 6-byte command sequence. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<3.8V inhibits programming), noise filter (rejects <15 ns pulses), and control-line inhibition (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes). |
| End-of-Operation Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) provide real-time status without external timers or clocks. |
| 5V-Only Reprogrammability | Eliminates need for 12V programming supply; all commands executed using standard 5V logic levels and microprocessor write cycles. |
| CMOS Standby Current | ≤100 µA at VCC = 5V - enables low-power retention in battery-backed or energy-sensitive embedded applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49F002N-12JC | Lacks RESET pin functionality; boot block lockout override via 12V is not supported. | Not suitable where field recalibration of protected boot code is required. | Select AT49F002N-12JC only if RESET pin is unused and boot block override is unnecessary. |
| AT49F002T-12JC | Boot block relocated to top of memory map (3C000H–3FFFFH); same pinout and timing. | Requires address remapping in host firmware; incompatible with legacy AT49F002(N) boot loaders. | Choose AT49F002T-12JC only when new designs require top-aligned boot sector for linker script compatibility. |
Compared with AT49F002N-12JC and AT49F002T-12JC, the AT49F002-12JC provides full RESET-based boot override and bottom-aligned boot block (00000H–03FFFH), making it the only variant supporting legacy boot code execution and service recalibration without hardware modification.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the AT49F002-12JC?
The AT49F002-12JC contains 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8) of Flash memory organized as 256K words × 8 bits. Its physical address space spans 00000H to 3FFFFH, partitioned into one 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K and 128K bytes). This structure is confirmed in the device's block diagram and sector address table.
Does the AT49F002-12JC support 12V programming voltage?
No, the AT49F002-12JC is a 5V-only device: both read and programming operations use a single 5V ±10% supply. However, a 12V ±0.5V pulse applied to the RESET pin enables boot block override - this is not programming voltage but a dedicated hardware unlock signal, distinct from conventional high-voltage programming schemes.
How does the boot block lockout feature work on the AT49F002-12JC?
The AT49F002-12JC boot block lockout is enabled by executing a six-byte command sequence (AAh, 55h, 80h, AAh, 55h, 40h) to address 5555h. Once activated, the 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH) becomes permanently write-protected at ≤5.5V. Protection can be overridden only by applying 12V to RESET - a capability unique to the base AT49F002 variant.
What package type is used for the AT49F002-12JC?
The AT49F002-12JC uses a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as 32J per Atmel's ordering information. Its dimensions are 18.5 × 18.5 mm with 1.27 mm lead pitch, and it complies with JEDEC standard MS-016 AE. Pin 1 is identified by a diagonal chamfer and index mark.
Can the AT49F002-12JC be used in industrial temperature applications?
The AT49F002-12JC is rated for commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) only. For industrial operation (-40°C to +85°C), the correct variant is AT49F002-12JI (same PLCC package, industrial grade). Using AT49F002-12JC outside its specified temperature range may result in timing violations, data retention loss, or premature wear-out.
