Product details
Overview
AT49F002T-70PC from Atmel is a 5V-only, 2 Mbit (256K × 8) in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 70 ns read access time, 10 µs/byte typical programming time, and sector-based architecture including a 16K-byte boot block with programmable lockout. It operates across 0°C to 70°C and delivers 50 mA active current and 100 µA CMOS standby current, used for firmware storage and boot code retention in embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT49F002T-70PC datasheet, AT49F002T-70PC pinout, AT49F002T-70PC application, or AT49F002T-70PC equivalent, key selection criteria include boot block protection behavior under 5.5 V, sector erase granularity (parameter blocks at 3A000–3BFFF and 38000–39FFF), RESET-pin override capability at 12 V, and compatibility with standard microprocessor bus timing (CE/OE/WE control).
Technical Context
The AT49F002T-70PC implements a command-register-based architecture requiring six-byte sequences for chip/sector erase and boot lockout enable. Its memory map allocates the 16K-byte boot block to address range 3C000–3FFFFH-distinct from the AT49F002(N) version-and supports DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and toggle-bit detection (I/O6) for program/erase cycle completion.
Hardware data protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored on WE/CE), and control-line inhibition (OE low, CE high, or WE high blocks writes). The RESET pin enables both system reset and 12 V–triggered boot block override-functionality absent in the N-suffix variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns maximum-defines minimum bus cycle time for reliable read operations |
| Byte Programming Time | 10 µs typical-enables rapid field updates without external timing circuitry |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max for full chip or sector-supports in-system reprogramming without socket removal |
| Boot Block Size & Location | 16K bytes at 3C000H–3FFFFH-holds secure boot code with optional permanent lockout |
| Power Dissipation | 275 mW typical at 55 ns access (5 V, 5 MHz)-compatible with thermally constrained PCB layouts |

Pinout & Package
AT49F002T-70PC is supplied in a 32-pin, 0.600" wide plastic dual inline package (PDIP), designated 32P6 per Atmel's ordering matrix. Pin 1 is index-marked; pins 1–16 and 17–32 are arranged on opposing sides with GND (pin 16) and VCC (pin 32) placed for decoupling proximity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A15 used for byte selection within 64K pages |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select-must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read output |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate-controls data bus contention; high-Z when deasserted |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe-latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming |
| RESET | Reset & Override Control | Logic-high = normal operation; 12 V pulse enables boot block reprogramming even when lockout is active |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface-carries command data, product ID codes, and memory contents |
| GND | Ground Reference | Pin 16-primary return path for power and signal currents; requires local decoupling |
| VCC | Power Supply | Pin 32-5 V ±10% supply; must be stabilized to <3.8 V threshold to prevent spurious programming |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single 5 V supply operation | Eliminates need for +12 V programming voltage-simplifies power design and enables direct microcontroller interfacing |
| Boot block programming lockout | Prevents accidental overwrite of critical boot code; enabled via 6-cycle command sequence; lockout persists at ≤5.5 V |
| Hardware data protection | Combines VCC sensing, noise filtering, and control-line interlock to prevent unintended writes during power transients or EMI events |
| DATA polling & toggle-bit detection | Enables software-driven timing of program/erase completion without fixed delays-reduces worst-case latency by >50% |
| Sector architecture | Independent erasure of two 8K parameter blocks (3A000–3BFFF, 38000–39FFF) and two main memory blocks-minimizes update downtime |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Boot Code Retention |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49F002N-70PC | No RESET pin functionality; boot block lockout cannot be overridden with 12 V pulse | Not suitable where field-recoverable boot corruption is required; lacks hardware reset coordination | Select only if system-level reset is handled externally and boot block override is unnecessary |
| AM29LV002BT-70PC | Different command set (AMD-style); 5 V-only but uses different unlock sequences and has no 12 V override | Requires redesign of firmware update routines; no equivalent boot block protection mechanism | Choose only when migrating legacy AMD-based designs and full command compatibility is verified |
Compared with AT49F002N-70PC and AM29LV002BT-70PC, the AT49F002T-70PC uniquely combines 12 V–enabled boot block override with Atmel's standardized command set-critical for systems requiring guaranteed recovery paths after failed updates.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49F002T-70PC?
The boot block for AT49F002T-70PC occupies address range 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes), distinct from the AT49F002(N) variant's 00000H–03FFFH mapping. This relocation isolates boot code from main application memory and enables independent protection. The AT49F002T-70PC datasheet confirms this layout in the block diagram and command definitions section.
Does AT49F002T-70PC support 12 V override of the boot block lockout feature?
Yes, AT49F002T-70PC supports 12 V ± 0.5 V applied to the RESET pin to temporarily disable boot block lockout, enabling chip/sector erase or byte programming even after lockout activation. This feature is explicitly documented in the "Boot Block Programming Lockout Override" section and is absent in AT49F002N-70PC variants.
What are the valid package options for AT49F002T-70PC?
AT49F002T-70PC is specified exclusively in the 32-pin PDIP (plastic dual inline package), identified as package code 32P6. Other suffixes like JC (PLCC), TC (TSOP), or VC (VSOP) denote different physical packages and are not interchangeable with the -70PC variant.
How does AT49F002T-70PC detect end-of-program without polling?
AT49F002T-70PC provides I/O6 toggle-bit detection: during programming or erase, successive reads cause I/O6 to alternate between high and low states; cessation of toggling indicates completion. This method avoids bus contention and works with any static address, unlike DATA polling which requires reading the last programmed byte on I/O7.
What is the maximum erase time for a single sector in AT49F002T-70PC?
The maximum erase time for any sector-including parameter blocks (3A000–3BFFF, 38000–39FFF) or main memory blocks-is 10 seconds, matching the full-chip erase specification. This value is characterized and guaranteed across commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) per the AC characteristics table in the AT49F002T-70PC datasheet.
