Product details
Overview
AT49F002-70JI from Atmel is a 5V-only, 2 Mbit (256K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 70 ns read access time, 10 µs/byte typical programming time, and sector-based architecture including a 16K-byte boot block with hardware lockout. It operates across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supports standard parallel interface for embedded firmware storage in microcontroller-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002-70JI datasheet, AT49F002-70JI pinout, AT49F002-70JI application, or AT49F002-70JI equivalent, key selection considerations include its 32-pin PLCC package, boot-block protection capability, software-controlled sector erase, DATA polling for program completion detection, and compatibility with 5V-only system buses requiring nonvolatile code storage.
Technical Context
The AT49F002-70JI implements a command-register-based architecture where all operations-including read, byte programming, sector erase, chip erase, and boot-block lockout-are initiated via six-cycle address/data sequences written to specific latched addresses (e.g., 5555H/2AAAH). Its internal control logic manages timing without external clocks, enabling autonomous erase cycles (10 s max) and byte programming (10–50 µs).
Memory organization is physically partitioned into five sectors: one 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K and 128K bytes). Sector erase commands target specific address ranges, while hardware data protection enforces VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock (OE low / CE high / WE high disables writes).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), directly maps to 256KB firmware image storage capacity |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - determines maximum bus clock rate for zero-wait-state CPU reads |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical - enables fast field updates of small configuration or calibration data |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max - defines minimum downtime during firmware reflash operations |
| Operating Voltage | 5 V ±10% - eliminates need for charge pumps or dual-supply circuitry |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - supports long-term field-upgradable product lifecycle |

Pinout & Package
AT49F002-70JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-016 AE compliant, and lead-free compatible. Pin 1 is marked by index notch; pin 1 function is RESET (active-low, TTL-compatible, supports 12 V override for boot-block unlock).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A17 used in command sequences |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Bus | Bi-directional 8-bit data path; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for toggle-bit status monitoring |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; falling edge latches address during command entry and write cycles |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; must be high during programming/erase to prevent bus contention |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; rising edge latches data during command and programming sequences |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; 12 V on this pin overrides boot-block lockout; not available on N(T) variants |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply; decoupling required within 1 cm due to 50 mA active current |
| 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 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture | Independent erasability of boot, parameter, and main memory blocks enables modular firmware updates without full chip erase |
| Boot Block Lockout | Hardware-enforced write protection of 16K-byte boot sector prevents accidental corruption of bootloader code |
| DATA Polling | I/O7 returns complemented data during programming, enabling real-time host-side cycle completion detection without timers |
| Toggle Bit Detection | I/O6 toggles during erase/program; allows asynchronous status polling without dedicated control lines |
| 5V-Only Command Interface | Eliminates need for 12 V programming voltage-reduces BOM count and simplifies power design |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and control-line interlock prevent spurious writes during power transients or EMI events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM29LV002BT-70EC | 3 V core with 5 V tolerant I/O; 70 ns access; 2 Mbit; 32-pin TSOP | Requires level-shifting in pure 5 V systems; lacks RESET-based boot-block override | Select when migrating to lower-voltage platforms or when TSOP footprint is preferred over PLCC |
| SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE | 3.3 V only; 70 ns access; 2 Mbit; 32-pin PLCC; no boot-block lockout | Not 5 V compatible; no hardware-protected boot sector; uses different command set | Select for cost-sensitive 3.3 V designs where boot security is handled externally or via software-only methods |
Compared with AM29LV002BT-70EC and SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE, the AT49F002-70JI uniquely delivers 5 V-only operation with hardware-enforced boot-block protection and 12 V RESET override-critical for industrial firmware integrity where voltage translation and external security logic must be minimized.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the AT49F002-70JI?
The AT49F002-70JI contains 2 Mbit (256K × 8) of Flash memory organized into five physical sectors: one 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K and 128K bytes). This structure enables selective erasure and programming, and the AT49F002-70JI's boot block supports hardware lockout to protect critical startup code.
Does the AT49F002-70JI require high-voltage programming?
No, the AT49F002-70JI operates with 5 V only for both read and programming functions. It does not require external 12 V or higher programming voltages. All command sequences-including byte programming, sector erase, and boot-block lockout-are executed using standard 5 V logic levels, making the AT49F002-70JI compatible with conventional microcontroller buses without additional voltage translation.
How is boot-block protection implemented in the AT49F002-70JI?
The AT49F002-70JI implements boot-block protection via a six-cycle command sequence that permanently enables lockout for the 16K-byte boot sector. Once enabled, programming and erasure of the boot block are inhibited at ≤5.5 V. However, the AT49F002-70JI's RESET pin accepts 12 V ±0.5 V to override this protection, allowing authorized reprogramming during service-this feature is absent in AT49F002N(T) variants.
What are the supported package types for the AT49F002-70JI?
The AT49F002-70JI is specifically packaged in a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), identified by package code "32J". This surface-mount package features a 1.27 mm lead pitch and JEDEC MS-016 AE compliance. Other variants like AT49F002-70JC use PDIP, and AT49F002-70TC use TSOP-but the "JI" suffix denotes industrial-grade PLCC only.
Can the AT49F002-70JI be used in place of standard EPROMs?
Yes, the AT49F002-70JI is pin- and command-compatible with standard 27C256 EPROMs in read mode: CE, OE, and WE inputs behave identically, and output timing meets EPROM-equivalent specifications. During programming, the AT49F002-70JI replaces UV-erasure and high-voltage programming with software-controlled sector erase and 5 V-only byte programming-making it a true in-system upgrade path for legacy EPROM-based designs.
