Product details
Overview
AT49F002ANT-55TU from Atmel is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply 5V-only Flash memory IC with 55 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16K-byte boot block + two 8K-byte parameter blocks + four main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It supports byte-by-byte programming (20 µs/byte typical), chip/sector erase (4 s max), and DATA polling for end-of-program detection - used in embedded firmware storage and boot code retention applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002ANT-55TU datasheet, AT49F002ANT-55TU pinout, AT49F002ANT-55TU application, or AT49F002ANT-55TU equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), TSOP-32 package compatibility, boot block lockout capability, 5V-only reprogrammability, and CMOS standby current (100 µA).
Technical Context
The AT49F002ANT-55TU implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic, supporting EPROM-like read operation and command-based sector erase and byte programming. Its internal program controller manages timing for erase (4 s max) and programming (20 µs/byte typical), eliminating external high-voltage requirements.
Boot block lockout is implemented via a six-cycle command sequence; once enabled, the 16K-byte boot sector (address range 3C000H–3FFFFH) becomes permanently protected under ≤5.5V operation. The RESET pin enables boot block override only at 12V ± 0.5V - a feature excluded in AN(T) variants but confirmed absent for AT49F002ANT-55TU per datasheet section 4.3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits - sufficient for full bootloader + configuration data in resource-constrained microcontrollers. |
| Read Access Time | 55 ns - enables direct connection to 16–20 MHz bus systems without wait states. |
| Byte Programming Time | 20 µs typical - allows rapid field updates of small firmware patches without system downtime. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 4 seconds maximum - supports fast in-system reprogramming during manufacturing test or field service. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ± 10% - eliminates need for dedicated programming voltage rails; compatible with legacy 5V logic families. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA CMOS - enables low-power retention in battery-backed or energy-sensitive embedded systems. |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - validated for frequent firmware revision in industrial controllers and telecom modules. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in motor drives, PLCs, and network infrastructure. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F002ANT-55TU is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type I, 8 × 20 mm), compliant with JEDEC MO-142 Variation BD. Pin 9 is no-connect (NC) per datasheet section 2.2.
| 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 | Data Inputs/Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; supports DATA polling on I/O7 and toggle bit detection on I/O6. |
| 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 write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-impedance outputs - not usable for boot block override (excluded in AN(T) variants). |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply; internal VCC sense disables programming if voltage drops below 3.8 V. |
| GND | Ground | Reference ground for all signals and power; decoupling required within 10 mm of VCC pin. |
| Pin 9 | No Connect | Physically present but unconnected internally - must be left floating or tied to GND per design guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture | One 16K-byte boot block (3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and four main memory blocks - enables selective firmware update without erasing critical boot code. |
| Boot Block Lockout | Software-enabled permanent protection of boot sector under ≤5.5V; prevents accidental corruption of startup routines in deployed systems. |
| DATA Polling | Real-time end-of-program detection via complemented data on I/O7 - eliminates fixed delay timers and improves programming throughput. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line inhibition (OE low/CE high/WE high) prevent spurious writes during power transients or EMI events. |
| Green Packaging | Pb/halide-free TSOP-32 package (JU/TU/VU suffix) - meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and IPC/JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM29LV002BT-55REI | 3 V core with 5 V tolerant I/O; 55 ns access; 2 Mbit density; different command set and sector map (64K uniform blocks). | Lacks dedicated boot block lockout; requires level-shifting for pure 5V systems. | Choose when migrating to lower-voltage platforms or needing uniform block erase granularity. |
| SST39VF020-55-4C-NHE | 3.3 V supply; 55 ns access; 2 Mbit; byte-programmable; no RESET pin; different command protocol (no 12V override). | Not pin-compatible; requires redesign of power and control logic; no boot block lockout override capability. | Prefer for cost-sensitive 3.3V designs where boot protection is managed in software or external logic. |
Compared with AM29LV002BT-55REI and SST39VF020-55-4C-NHE, the AT49F002ANT-55TU uniquely delivers 5V-only operation with hardware-enforced boot block lockout and TSOP-32 pinout compatibility - making it optimal for legacy 5V embedded systems requiring field-upgradable yet tamper-resistant firmware storage.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F002ANT-55TU?
The boot block for AT49F002ANT-55TU occupies address range 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes), distinct from the AT49F002AN(T) variant which uses 00000H–03FFFH. This relocation supports top-boot architecture in memory-mapped systems. The AT49F002ANT-55TU datasheet confirms this mapping in section 4.6 and note 3 of the Command Definition Table.
Does AT49F002ANT-55TU support boot block programming lockout override via RESET?
No - AT49F002ANT-55TU does not support 12V RESET override for boot block lockout. Section 4.3 explicitly states "The RESET feature is not available for the AT49F002AN(T)", and AT49F002ANT-55TU falls under the AN(T) family per ordering code structure and datasheet footnote 6. Therefore, once lockout is enabled, boot block reprogramming requires full device replacement.
What is the meaning of the 'TU' suffix in AT49F002ANT-55TU?
The 'TU' suffix denotes the green (Pb/halide-free) packaging option in TSOP-32 (32T) format, as defined in datasheet section 27.2. It indicates compliance with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and use of environmentally optimized materials, while maintaining identical electrical and timing specifications as the standard 'TI' variant.
Can AT49F002ANT-55TU be used in place of AT49F002A-55TI?
No - AT49F002ANT-55TU is not a drop-in replacement for AT49F002A-55TI. The 'N' denotes no-connect pin configuration (pin 1 in PLCC, pin 9 in TSOP), and 'T' indicates top-boot address mapping (3C000H–3FFFFH). These differences affect both hardware layout (NC pin handling) and firmware address allocation, requiring board and software revisions.
What is the maximum erase time for a single sector in AT49F002ANT-55TU?
The datasheet specifies a maximum erase cycle time of 4 seconds for chip erase (tEC), but does not define a separate maximum for sector erase. Section 4.4.2 confirms sector erase is "internally controlled" and "will automatically time to completion", implying the same 4-second upper bound applies to individual sectors - consistent with the device's unified erase controller architecture.
