Product details
Overview
AT49F002AT-55TI from Atmel is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) 5V-only in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 55 ns read access time, 20 µs/byte programming, and sector-based erase architecture including one 16K-byte boot block (address range 3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and four main memory blocks. It operates across the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supports standard EPROM-like CE/OE/WE control for embedded firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002AT-55TI datasheet, AT49F002AT-55TI pinout, AT49F002AT-55TI application, or AT49F002AT-55TI equivalent, key selection considerations include boot block lockout behavior (enabled via command sequence, override via 12V RESET), DATA polling/toggle bit end-of-program detection, and TSOP-32 package compatibility with 5V-only system buses requiring nonvolatile code storage with field-upgradable sectors.
Technical Context
The AT49F002AT-55TI implements a sector-erasable Flash architecture with dedicated 16K-byte boot block (3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks (3A000H–3BFFFH and 38000H–39FFFH), and four main memory blocks (30000H–37FFFH, 20000H–2FFFFH, 10000H–1FFFFH, 00000H–0FFFFH). Its command-set-driven operation uses six-cycle sequences for chip/sector erase and four-cycle sequences for byte programming, all executed with standard 5V logic levels-no high-voltage programming required.
Hardware data protection includes VCC sense (<3.8V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibition (OE low, CE high, or WE high blocks writes). The RESET pin enables boot block reprogramming override at 12V ±0.5V-a feature absent in AN(T) variants-and forces high-impedance output during reset transitions.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT49F002AT-55TI 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 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 | Data Inputs/Outputs | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for toggle bit status |

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F002AT-55TI?
The boot block for AT49F002AT-55TI occupies address range 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes), distinct from the AT49F002A-55TI's 00000H–03FFFH mapping. This relocation enables separation of secure bootloader code from application firmware in memory-mapped systems, and is confirmed in Section 4.6 and Note 3 of the datasheet. The AT49F002AT-55TI boot block lockout feature, once enabled, prevents reprogramming at ≤5.5V but allows override via 12V on the RESET pin.
Does AT49F002AT-55TI require high-voltage programming signals?
No, AT49F002AT-55TI operates with single 5V supply only-no high-voltage programming signals are required. All commands (read, program, erase, lockout) use standard 5V logic levels on CE, OE, WE, and address/data lines. Programming is internally generated via the command register, and the 12V RESET override is strictly for boot block recovery-not routine programming. This eliminates external charge pumps and simplifies system power design compared to older Flash technologies.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49F002AT-55TI?
AT49F002AT-55TI provides two hardware-supported end-of-program detection methods: DATA polling (reading the programmed byte returns its complement on I/O7 until completion) and toggle bit (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during programming and stabilizes upon completion). Both methods eliminate software timing loops, reduce host CPU overhead, and are usable at any point during the 20 µs typical programming cycle. These features are documented in Sections 4.8 and 4.9 of the datasheet.
What is the function of the RESET pin on AT49F002AT-55TI?
The RESET pin on AT49F002AT-55TI serves dual roles: (1) active-low reset that halts ongoing operations and places outputs in high-impedance state, and (2) 12V ±0.5V override input to reprogram the locked boot block-even after lockout activation. This override capability is exclusive to AT49F002AT-55TI and AT49F002A-55TI; it is not available on AN(T) variants. The RESET pin's dual functionality is critical for secure bootloader recovery in deployed systems.
Is AT49F002AT-55TI compatible with standard EPROM interfaces?
Yes, AT49F002AT-55TI is designed for drop-in compatibility with standard EPROM interfaces: it uses identical CE/OE/WE control signaling, outputs valid data within 55 ns of address/CE assertion, and presents high-impedance outputs when deselected. Its byte-wide parallel interface, 256K × 8 organization, and EPROM-like read protocol allow direct substitution in existing 5V microcontroller systems without bus controller modification-confirmed in Section 4.1 "Read" of the datasheet.
