Product details
Overview
AT49F002NT-70JC from Atmel is a 5V-only, 2 Mbit (256K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 70 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 0°C to 70°C and supports byte-by-byte programming at 10 µs/byte typical for embedded firmware storage in microcontroller-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002NT-70JC datasheet, AT49F002NT-70JC pinout, AT49F002NT-70JC application, or AT49F002NT-70JC equivalent, key selection considerations include its PLCC-32 package, 5V single-supply operation, boot block lockout feature, DATA polling/Toggle Bit erase-program status detection, and compatibility with standard EPROM read timing interfaces.
Technical Context
The AT49F002NT-70JC implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-bus-cycle sequences for chip/sector erase and boot lockout enable, with internal program control eliminating external high-voltage requirements. Its sector organization enables selective erasure of parameter blocks (8K × 2) and main memory blocks (96K + 128K), while the boot block (16K) resides at address 3C000H–3FFFFH for AT49F002(N)T variants.
Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibition (OE low / CE high / WE high blocks writes). RESET pin supports both standard reset and 12V override for boot block reprogramming - a capability confirmed absent in AT49F002N(T) but present in AT49F002NT.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), enabling full firmware image storage for 8-bit MCUs without external expansion. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns maximum - meets timing for 14 MHz bus interfaces in legacy industrial controllers. |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical - allows rapid field updates of configuration parameters without system downtime. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max for full chip erase - supports batch reprogramming in production test environments. |
| End-of-Operation 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 / 100 µA CMOS standby - suitable for battery-backed or low-power wake-on-event applications. |

Pinout & Package
AT49F002NT-70JC uses a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with 1.27 mm pitch, 18.5 × 18.5 mm body, and pin 1 index mark. Pin 1 is DC (don't connect) per datasheet Rev. 1017D–10/99.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A16 used for standard access, A17 selects upper memory region. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access - prevents bus contention in shared-memory systems. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to gate data outputs independently - essential for multiplexed bus arbitration. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command sequence - enables standard microprocessor write timing compliance. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset halts operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12V input overrides boot block lockout - critical for secure bootloader recovery. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface compatible with 8051, Z80, and 68K families; supports true read/write without external transceivers. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | 5.0V ±10% supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pins due to fast 70 ns switching transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Lockout | 16K-byte boot block (3C000H–3FFFFH) can be permanently write-protected via command sequence - ensures bootloader integrity during field firmware updates. |
| Single 5V Supply Operation | Eliminates need for +12V or +25V programming voltages - simplifies power design and enables direct connection to MCU I/O rails. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and control-line inhibition prevent accidental writes during power-up/down or EMI events - reduces field failure risk in industrial environments. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time program/erase completion feedback via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling - removes reliance on worst-case timing margins in host software. |
| Fast Byte Programming | 10 µs/byte typical enables sub-100 ms reprogramming of 10K-byte parameter sets - supports dynamic calibration data updates in test equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49F002T-70JC | Lacks RESET pin functionality; no 12V boot override capability; otherwise identical timing, density, and sector map. | Not suitable where field bootloader recovery is required; acceptable for cost-sensitive consumer applications with controlled update paths. | Select AT49F002T-70JC only if RESET pin functionality is unused and BOM cost reduction is prioritized. |
| SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE | 4 Mbit (512K × 8), 70 ns access, 3.3V core (5V tolerant I/O), different command set, no boot lockout, TSOP-32 package. | Requires level-shifting for 5V-only systems; lacks hardware-protected boot sector; better suited for new designs migrating to 3.3V domains. | Choose SST39VF020 only when upgrading memory capacity and accepting redesign effort for voltage translation and firmware adaptation. |
Compared with AT49F002T-70JC, the AT49F002NT-70JC adds critical 12V RESET override for bootloader recovery, while SST39VF020 offers higher density and lower voltage operation at the cost of architectural compatibility and boot security - making AT49F002NT-70JC optimal for legacy 5V industrial systems requiring field-serviceable secure boot.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F002NT-70JC?
The boot block for AT49F002NT-70JC occupies addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes), consistent with the AT49F002(N)T family designation. This differs from the AT49F002(N) variant, which places the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The AT49F002NT-70JC datasheet confirms this mapping in the Block Diagram and Command Definitions sections.
Does AT49F002NT-70JC support 12V programming voltage?
No, AT49F002NT-70JC does not require or support 12V for programming - it is strictly 5V-only. However, a 12V ±0.5V signal applied to the RESET pin enables override of the boot block programming lockout, allowing reprogramming of protected sectors. This 12V function is for RESET pin override only, not for core programming.
What package type is used by AT49F002NT-70JC?
AT49F002NT-70JC uses a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as 32J in Atmel's ordering information. The package features a 18.5 × 18.5 mm body, 1.27 mm lead pitch, and pin 1 index mark. Pin 1 is marked as "DC" (don't connect) per the official datasheet Rev. 1017D–10/99.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49F002NT-70JC?
AT49F002NT-70JC provides two hardware-supported methods: DATA polling (reading the last programmed byte returns its complement on I/O7 until completion) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during programming/erasing, then stabilizes). Both methods eliminate fixed-timing delays in host firmware and are fully documented in the AC Characteristics and Waveforms sections of the datasheet.
Is AT49F002NT-70JC pin-compatible with AT49F002N-70JC?
Yes, AT49F002NT-70JC is pin-compatible with AT49F002N-70JC in the same PLCC-32 package, sharing identical pin functions (A0–A17, CE, OE, WE, I/O0–I/O7, VCC, GND, RESET). The key functional difference is that AT49F002NT-70JC retains the RESET pin functionality including 12V override, whereas AT49F002N(T) variants omit RESET entirely per datasheet Section 3 ("RESET feature is not available for the AT49F002N(T)").
