Product details
Overview
AT49F002N-12TI from Atmel is a 5V-only, 2 Mbit (256K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 120 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16K-byte boot block + two 8K-byte parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It operates across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supports byte-by-byte programming (10 µs/byte typical) and chip/sector erase (10 s max).
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002N-12TI datasheet, AT49F002N-12TI pinout, AT49F002N-12TI application, or AT49F002N-12TI equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block lockout capability, 5V-only command interface, TSOP-32 package compatibility, DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-program detection, and industrial-grade reliability for embedded firmware storage.
Technical Context
The AT49F002N-12TI implements a standard parallel Flash architecture with CE/OE/WE control logic and internal command register sequencing. Its sector erase mechanism targets discrete 8K-byte parameter blocks and 96K/128K main memory blocks, enabling selective firmware updates without full chip reprogramming.
Boot block programming lockout is enforced via six-cycle command sequence (5555h/2AAAh/5555h/5555h/2AAAh/5555h with data AAh/55h/80h/AAh/55h/40h), permanently protecting the 16K-byte boot region (address 3C000h–3FFFFh) when enabled. RESET pin override at 12 V allows emergency reprogramming of locked boot sectors.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits - supports full firmware image storage for 8-bit microcontrollers. |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns - compatible with 8 MHz Z80, 68K, or 8051 bus timing without wait states. |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical - enables rapid field updates of configuration parameters or patch code. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds maximum - allows predictable firmware update windows in production test or field service. |
| End-of-Program Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware. |
| Power Dissipation | 50 mA active current / 100 µA CMOS standby - suitable for low-power industrial controllers with sleep/wake cycles. |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - validated for firmware revision management over product lifetime. |
Pinout & Package
AT49F002N-12TI is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type 1, 8 × 20 mm), pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin Flash devices. Pin 9 is a no-connect (NC) terminal per datasheet specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A17 selects upper/lower half of memory map. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; supports byte-wide reads/writes and status polling on I/O6/I/O7. |
| 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 multi-device sharing. |
| 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; 12 V input overrides boot lockout. |
| GND / VCC | Power Supply | Single 5 V ±10% supply; no VPP or auxiliary voltage required for programming or erase. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 5V-only reprogramming | Eliminates need for 12 V programming supply or charge pumps - simplifies power design and PCB layout. |
| Boot block lockout | Hardware-enforced write protection for 16K-byte boot sector (3C000h–3FFFFh) prevents accidental corruption of startup code. |
| Sector architecture | Independent erasure of two 8K-byte parameter blocks enables safe storage of calibration data or user settings without affecting main firmware. |
| HARDWARE data protection | VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock prevent spurious writes. |
| DATA polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time, bus-compatible status feedback replaces fixed-timing delays - improves host CPU efficiency and system responsiveness. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Boot Code Protection |

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 | 4 Mbit density, 120 ns access, 3 V core with 5 V I/O tolerance; requires VPP = 12 V for programming. | Lacks boot block lockout; uses different command set and sector map (64K uniform sectors). | Select only if higher density and 3 V compatibility outweigh loss of hardware boot protection and 5 V simplicity. |
| SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE | 2 Mbit, 120 ns, 3.3 V operation; no 5 V support; includes automatic write inhibit during power ramp. | Does not support 5 V systems; lacks RESET-based boot override; uses different sector sizes (4K/32K). | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs where legacy 5 V compatibility is unnecessary and lower active power is critical. |
Compared with AM29LV002BT-120EC and SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE, the AT49F002N-12TI uniquely delivers 5 V-only operation with hardware-enforced boot block lockout and 12 V RESET override - essential for industrial firmware security and field-service flexibility.

FAQ
What is the memory organization of the AT49F002N-12TI?
The AT49F002N-12TI contains 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8) of Flash memory organized as 256K words × 8 bits. Its physical address space spans 00000h–3FFFFh (256K addresses), with sector layout including one 16K-byte boot block (3C000h–3FFFFh), two 8K-byte parameter blocks (3A000h–3BFFFh and 38000h–39FFFh), and two main memory blocks (20000h–37FFFh and 00000h–1FFFFh). This structure is confirmed in the device's block diagram and command definitions table.
Does the AT49F002N-12TI require high-voltage programming signals?
No, the AT49F002N-12TI operates exclusively at 5 V for both read and reprogramming functions. It does not require VPP = 12 V or any auxiliary programming voltage. All command sequences - including byte programming, sector erase, chip erase, and boot lockout enable - execute using standard 5 V logic levels on CE, OE, WE, and RESET pins, as specified in the "Single-voltage Operation" feature list and DC operating range table.
How is boot block protection implemented in the AT49F002N-12TI?
The AT49F002N-12TI implements boot block protection via a six-cycle command sequence (5555h/2AAAh/5555h/5555h/2AAAh/5555h with data AAh/55h/80h/AAh/55h/40h) that permanently disables programming and erasure of the 16K-byte boot sector (3C000h–3FFFFh) under 5.5 V. Once enabled, protection can only be overridden by applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to the RESET pin - a feature explicitly documented in the "Boot Block Programming Lockout Override" section.
What package type and pin count does the AT49F002N-12TI use?
The AT49F002N-12TI uses a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type 1, 8 × 20 mm), designated as package code "32T" in Atmel's ordering information. Pin 9 is a no-connect (NC) terminal, consistent across all TSOP variants of the AT49F002(N)(T) family, as stated in the "AT49F002N Ordering Information" table on page 13 and confirmed in the TSOP top-view diagram.
Can the AT49F002N-12TI be used in systems requiring extended temperature operation?
Yes, the AT49F002N-12TI is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "I" suffix in its ordering code (AT49F002N-12TI) and verified in the "AT49F002N Ordering Information" table (page 13). Its DC and AC characteristics - including 100 µA standby current and 120 ns read access - are fully specified across this range, making it suitable for harsh-environment applications like factory automation and outdoor telecom equipment.
