Product details
Overview
AT49F002NT-12TI from Atmel is a 2-Mbit (256K × 8) 5V-only in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 120 ns read access time, 10 µs/byte programming, 10-second chip erase, and sector architecture including a 16K-byte boot block with hardware lockout. It operates across -40°C to +85°C and supports embedded firmware storage in industrial microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002NT-12TI datasheet, AT49F002NT-12TI pinout, AT49F002NT-12TI application, or AT49F002NT-12TI equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block protection capability, TSOP-32 industrial temperature rating, 5V-only command interface, DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-write detection, and compatibility with standard EPROM bus protocols (CE/OE/WE).
Technical Context
The AT49F002NT-12TI implements a software-command-based Flash architecture with six-byte command sequences for chip erase, sector erase, byte programming, and boot block lockout. Its internal control logic handles timing without external clocks, and RESET pin support enables boot block override at 12 V.
Memory organization comprises one 16K-byte boot block (address 3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K + 128K bytes). Hardware data protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibit), noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and CE/OE/WE state-dependent program inhibition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), enabling full firmware image storage for 8-bit microcontrollers |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns - meets timing requirements for 8 MHz Z80/8051 bus interfaces |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical - supports real-time field updates without system interruption |
| Chip Erase Time | 10 seconds - enables rapid firmware recovery during production programming |
| End-of-Write Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed delay timers |
| Operating Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5V logic systems without level translation |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control and automotive under-hood applications |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 cycles - sufficient for bootloader and configuration data update cycles over product lifetime |
Pinout & Package
AT49F002NT-12TI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type 1, 8 × 20 mm), pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin Flash memory footprints.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A17 used only for main memory block selection |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8051, Z80, and 68K microprocessor data buses |
| 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; enables high-impedance tri-state when high to prevent bus contention |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence timing |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; 12 V input enables boot block override - not available on N(T) variants |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | 5 V supply with CMOS standby current <300 µA - critical for low-power sleep modes |
| DC | No Connect | Pin 9 in TSOP package is unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Lockout | 16K-byte protected region (3C000H–3FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code via software command or 5.5 V max voltage |
| Sector Architecture | Independent erasure of parameter blocks (8K each) and main memory blocks enables modular firmware updates without full chip erase |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and multi-signal inhibit (CE/OE/WE states) eliminate spurious writes during power transients or EMI events |
| 5V-Only Command Interface | No external high-voltage programming supply required - simplifies PCB design and reduces BOM cost |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time status feedback on I/O7 and I/O6 allows deterministic write completion detection without fixed delays or external timers |

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 | 3V core with 5V I/O; 120 ns access; no RESET pin; boot block at top address (00000H) | Requires 3.3V supply rail; lacks 12 V boot override; different boot block location affects linker script mapping | Select if migrating to lower-power 3.3V system; verify address remapping and voltage translation for CE/OE/WE lines |
| MX29LV002CTTI-12 | 3V/5V tolerant; 120 ns access; boot block at bottom (00000H); no RESET pin; Toggle Bit only (no DATA polling) | Compatible with mixed-voltage designs; boot block position differs; missing DATA polling limits debug visibility | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial designs where 3V compatibility is needed and boot block location aligns with existing firmware layout |
Compared with AM29LV002BT-120EC and MX29LV002CTTI-12, the AT49F002NT-12TI uniquely provides 5V-only operation with RESET-enabled boot block override, making it suitable for legacy 5V systems requiring field-serviceable bootloader updates without hardware modification.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F002NT-12TI?
The boot block for AT49F002NT-12TI occupies addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes), distinct from the AT49F002N variant's 00000H–03FFFH range. This top-address placement isolates bootloader code from main application memory, reducing risk of accidental overwrite during firmware updates. The AT49F002NT-12TI datasheet confirms this mapping in the Block Diagram and Command Definitions sections.
Does AT49F002NT-12TI support 12 V programming for the boot block?
Yes, AT49F002NT-12TI supports 12 V ±0.5 V applied to the RESET pin to override boot block lockout, enabling reprogramming even after lockout activation. This feature is explicitly documented in the "Boot Block Programming Lockout Override" section and is unavailable on AT49F002N(T) variants. The AT49F002NT-12TI datasheet specifies VH = 12.0 V ± 0.5 V for this function.
What package type is used for AT49F002NT-12TI?
AT49F002NT-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 "Don't Connect" (DC) terminal, and the package complies with JEDEC standard MO-118. This TSOP footprint is compatible with automated SMT assembly lines and high-density PCB layouts.
How does AT49F002NT-12TI detect end-of-program without external timing?
AT49F002NT-12TI provides two hardware methods: DATA polling (I/O7 returns complement of written data until completion, then true data) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0/1 during programming, then stabilizes). Both are specified in the "Data Polling Waveforms" and "Toggle Bit Waveforms" sections of the AT49F002NT-12TI datasheet and require no external clock or timer resources.
Is AT49F002NT-12TI compatible with standard EPROM read protocols?
Yes, AT49F002NT-12TI is fully compatible with EPROM read protocols: when CE and OE are low and WE is high, data appears on I/O0–I/O7 within 120 ns. Its dual-line CE/OE control prevents bus contention, and the device enters high-impedance state when either CE or OE is high - identical behavior to industry-standard EPROMs, simplifying drop-in replacement in legacy designs.
