Product details
Overview
AT49LV001-90VI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 3.0–3.6 V Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable architecture with sector protection, and operates across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV001-90VI datasheet, AT49LV001-90VI pinout, AT49LV001-90VI application, or AT49LV001-90VI equivalent, this page provides verified functional specifications, validated pin mapping for VSOP/TSOP/PLCC packages, boot-block lockout behavior, DATA polling and toggle-bit status detection methods, and real-world use cases in firmware update and secure boot subsystems.
Technical Context
The AT49LV001-90VI implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and supports hardware reset-driven boot-block reprogramming override at 12 V. Its sector architecture includes one 16-Kbyte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K/64K bytes).
It uses internal command register sequencing for erase and program operations - no external high-voltage programming supply required. Erase and program cycles are internally timed, and end-of-operation detection is supported via DATA polling (I/O7 complement) or toggle-bit (I/O6) monitoring.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Capacity | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits); sufficient for small MCU boot firmware or configuration tables |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max; compatible with 11 MHz bus timing in legacy 8-bit microcontrollers |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V; single-supply operation eliminates need for 5 V or 12 V rails |
| Chip Erase Time | 10 seconds typical; enables field firmware updates without long downtime |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical; allows fine-grained patching of individual configuration bytes |
| End-of-Operation Detection | DATA polling (I/O7) and toggle-bit (I/O6); eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles; suitable for infrequent field updates over product lifetime |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV001-90VI is available in 32-lead VSOP (8 × 14 mm) and TSOP (8 × 20 mm) packages - both surface-mount, industrial-grade variants rated for –40°C to +85°C. Pinout is identical across VSOP/TSOP/PLCC/DIP packages per datasheet Figure 2 and 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A16 enables access beyond 64K boundary |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path for read/write; high-impedance when CE or OE inactive |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for read access |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; used with CE for bus contention avoidance |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming |
| RESET | Hardware Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operation and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V pulse overrides boot-block lockout |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0 V to +3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; decoupling capacitor required near VCC pin |
| NC / DC | No Connect / Don't Connect | Unbonded pins (e.g., pin 9 in TSOP, pin 1 in DIP/PLCC); must remain floating or grounded per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16-Kbyte protected region (00000H–03FFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of boot code; enabled via 6-byte command sequence |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filter (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes) |
| Sector-Erasable Architecture | Independent erasure of two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32K/64K); avoids full-chip erase for partial updates |
| 12 V RESET Override | Applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to RESET pin during erase/program temporarily disables boot-block lockout - critical for recovery firmware updates |
| Low Power Standby | 50 µA CMOS standby current; enables battery-backed retention in always-on embedded systems |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Configuration Memory |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV001-90VI | Wider VCC range (2.7–3.6 V); higher active current (50 mA); faster 70 ns variant available | Supports battery-powered systems down to 2.7 V; better suited for mixed-voltage designs | Select when system VCC may dip below 3.0 V or when faster read access is needed |
| SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE | Same 1 Mbit density, 90 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V; supports CFI query; no RESET override | Lacks 12 V boot-block override; uses different command set; no hardware reset recovery path | Choose for CFI-compliant systems requiring standardized flash interrogation; avoid if boot-sector recovery is required |
Compared with AT49BV001-90VI and SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE, the AT49LV001-90VI offers stricter 3.0–3.6 V operation ideal for stable regulated supplies, retains unique 12 V RESET override for boot-block recovery, and maintains full command compatibility within the AT49x family - making it optimal for legacy Atmel-based designs requiring guaranteed firmware resilience.

FAQ
What is the correct VCC operating range for AT49LV001-90VI?
The AT49LV001-90VI requires a regulated 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply. Unlike the AT49BV001 variant, it does not support 2.7 V operation. Operation outside this range may cause read errors, failed programming, or permanent damage. The device includes VCC sense circuitry that inhibits programming if voltage drops below ~1.8 V.
Does AT49LV001-90VI support boot block protection, and how is it enabled?
Yes, AT49LV001-90VI supports boot block programming lockout for its 16-Kbyte region (00000H–03FFFH). It is enabled via a six-cycle command sequence: load AAh at 5555H, 55h at 2AAAH, 80h at 5555H, then AAh/55h/40h at 5555H/2AAAH/5555H. Once activated, the boot block cannot be erased or programmed at ≤5.5 V.
Can AT49LV001-90VI be reprogrammed in-system without removing it from the PCB?
Yes, AT49LV001-90VI is designed for full in-system reprogrammability. It uses only 3 V-level commands - no external 12 V programming voltage is needed for standard operations. The 12 V RESET override is optional and used solely for recovering a locked boot block during service, not routine programming.
What package types are offered for AT49LV001-90VI, and which is most common?
AT49LV001-90VI is offered in 32-lead VSOP (8 × 14 mm) and TSOP (8 × 20 mm) packages, both industrial-grade (–40°C to +85°C). The VSOP variant (suffix 'V') is most commonly stocked for space-constrained industrial controls, while TSOP (suffix 'T') is preferred for higher thermal dissipation in extended-duty applications.
How does DATA polling work on AT49LV001-90VI, and what pin indicates completion?
During byte programming, reading the last written address returns the complement of the loaded data on I/O7 until programming completes. When valid data appears on I/O7 (i.e., matches the written value), the cycle is finished. This allows host firmware to poll asynchronously without fixed delays - a key feature for deterministic real-time update routines in AT49LV001-90VI implementations.
