Product details
Overview
AT49F002AN-55VI from Atmel is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) 5V-only in-system reprogrammable Flash memory with 55 ns read access time, 20 µs/byte programming, 4-second chip erase, and sector architecture comprising one 16K-byte boot block, two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and four main memory blocks (32K + 3×64K). It operates across the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supports hardware data protection, DATA polling, and toggle-bit end-of-cycle detection for embedded firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002AN-55VI datasheet, AT49F002AN-55VI pinout, AT49F002AN-55VI application, or AT49F002AN-55VI equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block lockout capability, 5V-only command interface compatibility with standard microprocessor buses, sector-erase granularity for field firmware updates, and PLCC-32 package suitability for legacy industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AT49F002AN-55VI implements a nonvolatile CMOS Flash architecture with internal program control logic and autonomous erase timing-no external clocks required. Its command-set-driven operation uses standard CE/OE/WE control lines and supports hardware reset (though RESET pin is NC on this variant), enabling EPROM-like read behavior and byte-level in-system reprogramming without high-voltage programming supplies.
Memory organization is fixed: boot block at 00000H–03FFFH (16K bytes), parameter blocks at 04000H–05FFFH and 06000H–07FFFH (8K each), and main blocks spanning 08000H–FFFFH (32K), 10000H–1FFFFH (64K), 20000H–2FFFFH (64K), and 30000H–3FFFFH (64K). The boot block supports permanent lockout via six-cycle command sequence, preventing accidental overwrite of secure startup code.

Pinout & Package
AT49F002AN-55VI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE. Pin 1 is marked by a corner chamfer; pins are numbered counterclockwise. Pin 1 is NC (no connect) per datasheet specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A11 is don't-care in command cycles |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8051, Z80, and 68K family microcontrollers |
| 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 shared-memory access |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command cycle timing |
| RESET | Reset Input | No-connect (NC) on AT49F002AN-55VI - boot block override via 12V on RESET is not available for this variant |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0 V supply; device inhibits programming if VCC drops below 3.8 V (VCC sense protection) |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of VCC/GND pins |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | Enables permanent protection of 16K-byte boot code region (00000H–03FFFH) while allowing updates to remaining memory - critical for secure boot integrity |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit Detection | Allows software-driven end-of-program/erase verification without polling timers or external status lines - reduces MCU resource usage and improves update reliability |
| Hardware Data Protection | Triple-layer safeguard: VCC sense (blocks programming <3.8 V), control-line inhibit (OE high/CE high/WE high), and noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored) - prevents spurious writes in noisy industrial environments |
| 5V-Only Command Interface | Eliminates need for 12V programming supply or level shifters - simplifies system design and reduces BOM cost versus older Flash devices |
| Green (Pb/Halide-Free) Packaging Option | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU - supports environmental compliance for global industrial equipment shipments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM29LV002BT-55EI | 3V/5V dual-voltage operation; 55 ns access; 2 Mbit; TSOP-32 package; no boot block lockout | Lacks dedicated boot sector protection; requires external logic for secure boot isolation | Choose when migrating to 3.3V systems or when boot block lockout is unnecessary |
| SST39VF020-55-4C-NHE | 3.3V only; 55 ns access; 2 Mbit; PLCC-32; single-power-supply; no RESET pin function | Lower voltage operation reduces power but requires level-shifting for 5V host interfaces | Prefer for new 3.3V designs where 5V compatibility is not required |
Compared with AM29LV002BT-55EI and SST39VF020-55-4C-NHE, the AT49F002AN-55VI uniquely provides 5V-only operation with hardware-enforced boot block lockout in a PLCC-32 package - making it irreplaceable for maintaining secure, field-upgradable firmware in legacy 5V industrial systems without PCB redesign.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the AT49F002AN-55VI?
The AT49F002AN-55VI contains 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8) of Flash memory organized into one 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks (04000H–05FFFH and 06000H–07FFFH), and four main memory blocks: 32K bytes (08000H–FFFFH), and three 64K-byte blocks (10000H–1FFFFH, 20000H–2FFFFH, 30000H–3FFFFH). This structure enables selective erasure and secure boot code isolation.
Does the AT49F002AN-55VI support boot block programming lockout?
Yes, the AT49F002AN-55VI supports boot block programming lockout via a six-cycle command sequence. Once enabled, the 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH) becomes permanently protected against erase and program operations at ≤5.5 V. However, the RESET pin is NC on this variant, so 12V override is not available - lockout is irreversible under normal operating conditions.
What package type is used for the AT49F002AN-55VI?
The AT49F002AN-55VI uses a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE), with pin 1 designated by a corner chamfer and pin 1 defined as NC (no connect) per the official datasheet. This package provides mechanical robustness and thermal performance suited for industrial PCB assembly and rework.
How does the AT49F002AN-55VI handle end-of-program detection?
The AT49F002AN-55VI supports two hardware-assisted end-of-program detection methods: DATA polling (I/O7 returns complement of written data until completion, then true data) and toggle-bit detection (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during operation, then stabilizes). Both methods eliminate the need for fixed delay loops and improve firmware update reliability in variable-temperature environments.
Is the AT49F002AN-55VI compatible with standard microprocessor buses?
Yes, the AT49F002AN-55VI is fully compatible with standard 8-bit microprocessor buses using CE, OE, and WE control lines. Its read operation mirrors EPROM behavior: data appears on I/O0–I/O7 when CE and OE are low and WE is high. Address and data setup/hold times meet common 8051, Z80, and 68K timing requirements, enabling plug-and-play integration without glue logic.
