Product details
Overview
AT49F002-12TI from Atmel is a 2-Mbit (256K × 8) 5V-only in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code/data storage in embedded controllers and boot firmware applications. It delivers 55 ns read access time, 10 µs/byte typical programming, 10-second chip erase, 10,000 write cycles, and hardware data protection with CMOS standby current of 100 µA.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002-12TI datasheet, AT49F002-12TI pinout, AT49F002-12TI application, or AT49F002-12TI equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, sector architecture details, boot block lockout behavior, DATA polling implementation, and industrial-grade (-40°C to +85°C) TSOP packaging specifications.
Technical Context
The AT49F002-12TI implements a sector-organized Flash architecture with one 16K-byte boot block (address range 3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K and 128K bytes). Its command interface uses standard microprocessor timing with WE/CE/OE control and supports software-based chip/sector erase and byte programming via six-cycle command sequences.
It features dual end-of-operation detection: DATA polling (I/O7 complement toggle) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling during program/erase). The RESET pin enables system-level reset and - when driven to 12V ±0.5V - overrides boot block lockout, a capability absent in N-suffix variants.
Key Specifications

AT49F002-12TI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, 8 × 20 mm), pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin Flash memory footprints. Pin 9 is a no-connect (NC) per datasheet specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing (A0–A17) |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read/write data transfer; high-impedance when deselected |
| 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 reads |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control for programming/erase command latching and data strobing |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low system reset; 12V override enables boot block reprogramming when locked |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | 5V core supply and ground reference; decoupling required within 1 cm of pins |
| DC (Pin 9) | No-Connect | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Lockout | 16K-byte protected region (3C000H–3FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of critical boot code |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<3.8V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes) |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Two independent, software-accessible status mechanisms eliminate need for fixed delay timers in host firmware |
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erasure of parameter blocks (8K each) and main memory blocks (96K/128K) enables modular firmware updates |
| Single 5V Supply | Eliminates requirement for 12V programming voltage or charge pumps - simplifies power design and PCB layout |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM29LV002BT-120EC | 3V/5V dual-voltage operation; 120 ns access; 16K boot sector at top address (0x00000) | Requires voltage translation in pure 5V systems; boot sector location differs - may require linker script changes | Select if migrating to lower-voltage systems or needing extended endurance beyond 10k cycles |
| SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE | 5V-only; 120 ns access; 8K boot sector; no RESET pin or 12V override capability | Lacks boot block lockout override - irreversible lock once enabled; no hardware reset coordination | Select for cost-sensitive designs where boot block override is unnecessary and smaller boot sector suffices |
Compared with AM29LV002BT-120EC and SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE, the AT49F002-12TI uniquely combines industrial temperature support, 12V RESET override for boot recovery, and a 16K top-address boot block - enabling secure, field-serviceable firmware architectures without voltage translation or external supervision logic.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F002-12TI?
The AT49F002-12TI boot block occupies addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes) - located at the top of the memory map. This differs from the AT49F002(N) variant, which places the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The AT49F002-12TI's top-aligned boot sector simplifies reset vector mapping in most 8051 and Z80-based designs.
Does AT49F002-12TI support 12V programming voltage?
No, the AT49F002-12TI operates exclusively at 5V for both read and programming functions. However, its RESET pin accepts a 12V ±0.5V signal solely to override boot block lockout - not for programming. All command execution, including byte programming and sector erase, occurs at 5V only.
How does DATA polling work on AT49F002-12TI?
During byte programming, reading the last loaded address returns the complement of the written data on I/O7. When programming completes, true data appears on all I/O lines. This allows host firmware to poll without fixed delays - the AT49F002-12TI internally manages timing, eliminating need for external wait-state generators.
Is AT49F002-12TI pin-compatible with standard 27C256 EPROMs?
Yes, the AT49F002-12TI in TSOP-32 (32T) package matches the pinout and functional interface of 27C256 EPROMs, including identical CE, OE, and WE control signals and 8-bit bidirectional data bus. No PCB redesign is needed for drop-in replacement, though firmware must implement Flash-specific command sequences instead of EPROM write protocols.
What is the meaning of the "-12" suffix in AT49F002-12TI?
The "-12" suffix in AT49F002-12TI indicates a maximum read access time of 120 ns (tACC). It denotes the speed grade - slower than -55 (55 ns), -70 (70 ns), or -90 (90 ns) variants - optimized for cost-sensitive industrial applications where timing margins allow relaxed access timing.
