Product details
Overview
AT49F002T-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 AT49F002T-12TI datasheet, AT49F002T-12TI pinout, AT49F002T-12TI application, or AT49F002T-12TI equivalent, key selection considerations include boot block lockout override via 12V RESET, DATA polling/toggle bit for program/erase status detection, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing for CE/OE/WE control.
Technical Context
The AT49F002T-12TI implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte sequences for chip erase and sector erase, with address latching on falling WE/CE edges and data latching on rising edges. Its boot block resides at 3C000H–3FFFFH and supports permanent lockout (enabled by 40H command) with 12V RESET override - a feature absent in AT49F002N(T) variants.
It uses internal program control and timer logic to manage erase/write cycles without external clocks, supports TTL/CMOS-compatible I/O levels (VIH = 2.0 V, VOH2 = 4.2 V @ VCC = 4.5 V), and incorporates hardware safeguards including VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and dual-line (CE/OE) output enable for bus contention avoidance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns - determines maximum sustained read throughput in microprocessor bus interfaces |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical - enables rapid field updates of small firmware segments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE | 3.3V operation, 120 ns access, 2 Mbit density, no 12V RESET override | Lacks boot block lockout override; requires separate 3.3V rail and level-shifting for 5V systems | Select if system already uses 3.3V core logic and does not require 12V-protected reprogramming capability |
| MX29LV020TC-12G | 3.3V/5V tolerant, 120 ns access, 2 Mbit, supports CFI query but no 12V RESET pin | No hardware boot block override; relies on software lock mechanisms only | Choose for CFI-compliant toolchain integration where 12V override is unnecessary and voltage flexibility is prioritized |
Compared with SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE and MX29LV020TC-12G, the AT49F002T-12TI uniquely delivers 5V-only simplicity combined with hardware-enforced boot security and field-serviceable 12V override - critical for industrial and automotive applications requiring tamper-resistant firmware recovery paths.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F002T-12TI?
The boot block for AT49F002T-12TI occupies address range 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes). This differs from the base AT49F002(N) variant, which places the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The relocated boot block in AT49F002T-12TI allows main application code to reside in lower memory space while preserving secure startup routines at the top of the address map - a layout commonly used in x86-compatible BIOS and ARM boot ROM implementations.
Does AT49F002T-12TI support 12V programming voltage?
No, AT49F002T-12TI does not require or accept 12V for standard programming operations - it is strictly 5V-only. However, applying 12V ±0.5V to the RESET pin enables override of the boot block programming lockout feature, permitting erasure or reprogramming of the protected 16K-byte region. This 12V signal is used solely for security override and does not power internal programming circuits.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in AT49F002T-12TI?
AT49F002T-12TI provides two hardware-supported methods: DATA polling (I/O7 returns complement of loaded data until completion, then true data) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles between 0 and 1 during active programming and stabilizes upon completion). Both mechanisms allow host firmware to detect program cycle finish without fixed delay loops - essential for deterministic real-time systems using AT49F002T-12TI in mission-critical applications.
What package type is used for AT49F002T-12TI?
AT49F002T-12TI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP, Type 1, 8 × 20 mm), designated as ordering suffix "T". Pin 9 is a no-connect (NC) in this TSOP configuration, consistent with AT49F002(N)(T) family specifications. The TSOP footprint supports high-density PCB layouts and automated surface-mount assembly.
Can AT49F002T-12TI be used in place of AT49F002-12TI?
No - AT49F002T-12TI and AT49F002-12TI are functionally distinct. AT49F002T-12TI features a top-aligned boot block (3C000H–3FFFFH) and supports 12V RESET override, whereas AT49F002-12TI has a bottom-aligned boot block (00000H–03FFFH) and lacks the 12V override capability. Substituting one for the other risks incorrect bootloader execution or inability to reprogram protected sectors.
