Product details
Overview
AT49LV001NT-12JC from Atmel is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 3.0–3.6 V Flash memory IC with 120 ns read access time, sector-based architecture (16 KB boot block + two 8 KB parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It supports in-system reprogramming via standard CE/OE/WE control and is used in embedded firmware storage for industrial controllers and legacy microcontroller boot code.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV001NT-12JC datasheet, AT49LV001NT-12JC pinout, AT49LV001NT-12JC application, or AT49LV001NT-12JC equivalent, key selection criteria include its PLCC-32 package, 120 ns access timing, boot block lockout capability, byte-programmable erase/program cycle, and compatibility with 3.3 V-only system buses.
Technical Context
The AT49LV001NT-12JC implements a sector-erasable Flash architecture with dedicated 16 KB boot block (address range 1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32 KB and 64 KB). It uses standard EPROM-like read protocol with CE/OE/WE tri-state control and supports software command sequences for chip/sector erase and byte programming.
It features DATA polling (I/O7 complement detection) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) for end-of-operation detection, internal program timers, and hardware safeguards including VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and write inhibit logic (OE low, CE high, or WE high blocks writes).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns - determines maximum bus clock rate for reliable read cycles |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic systems without level shifting |

Pinout & Package
AT49LV001NT-12JC is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin PLCC footprint (J-lead, 1.27 mm pitch, 11.43 mm × 13.97 mm body). Pin 1 is marked by corner notch; pin 9 is NC (No Connect) per datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 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 gate; controls data bus assertion and enables bus contention avoidance |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and programming |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-impedance outputs; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0 V to +3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 9 - must remain unconnected per design; no internal connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV001NT-12JC | Wider VCC range (2.7–3.6 V); higher active current (25 mA typical); same PLCC-32 package and pinout | Supports battery-voltage operation down to 2.7 V; suitable for portable or wide-input-range systems | Select when system VCC may dip below 3.0 V or requires broader supply tolerance |
| SST39VF010-120-4C-NHE | 1 Mbit, 120 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; 32-pin TSOP (not PLCC); different command set and sector map | Lacks boot block lockout; uses uniform 4 KB sectors; no RESET pin override for protected regions | Choose for space-constrained PCBs where TSOP fits; verify firmware compatibility due to differing command protocol |
Compared with AT49BV001NT-12JC and SST39VF010-120-4C-NHE, the AT49LV001NT-12JC provides tighter 3.0–3.6 V regulation, guaranteed boot block protection with 12 V RESET override, and PLCC packaging suited for through-hole or socketed legacy designs-making it optimal for industrial firmware storage where voltage stability and physical robustness are prioritized.

FAQ
What is the memory organization and density of the AT49LV001NT-12JC?
The AT49LV001NT-12JC contains 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) of Flash memory, organized as 128K words × 8 bits. Its address space spans 00000H to 1FFFFH (128 KB), partitioned into one 16 KB boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32 KB and 64 KB). This structure is explicitly defined in the AT49LV001NT-12JC datasheet section "Sector Architecture" and confirmed by the block diagram and address map.
Does the AT49LV001NT-12JC support boot block protection, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the AT49LV001NT-12JC supports boot block programming lockout for its 16 KB boot sector (1C000H–1FFFFH). It is enabled via a six-bus-cycle command sequence: load AAH at 5555H, 55H at 2AAAH, 80H at 5555H, AAH at 5555H, 55H at 2AAAH, and 40H at 5555H. Once activated, the boot block cannot be erased or programmed at ≤5.5 V; only a 12 V pulse on RESET overrides this protection. This behavior is documented in the "Boot Block Programming Lockout" section of the AT49LV001NT-12JC datasheet.
What package type and pin count does the AT49LV001NT-12JC use?
The AT49LV001NT-12JC uses a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as 32J in Atmel's ordering information. Pin 1 is identified by the corner notch; pin 9 is NC (No Connect), as specified in the "Pin Configurations" section and confirmed in the "AT49LV001NT Ordering Information" table on page 19 of the AT49LV001NT-12JC datasheet.
How does the AT49LV001NT-12JC indicate completion of a program or erase operation?
The AT49LV001NT-12JC provides two hardware methods: DATA polling (monitoring I/O7 - it returns the complement of written data until completion, then true data) and Toggle Bit (monitoring I/O6 - it toggles between 0 and 1 during operation, then stabilizes). Both are usable at any time during the cycle and eliminate reliance on fixed timing delays. These mechanisms are detailed in the "DATA POLLING" and "TOGGLE BIT" sections of the AT49LV001NT-12JC datasheet.
What are the DC and AC operating conditions for the AT49LV001NT-12JC?
The AT49LV001NT-12JC operates over 0°C to +70°C (Commercial) or –40°C to +85°C (Industrial), with VCC = 3.0 V to 3.6 V. Its DC specs include 25 mA active current, 50 µA CMOS standby current, and input thresholds of VIL ≤ 0.6 V / VIH ≥ 2.0 V. AC specs include tACC = 120 ns, tCE = 120 ns, and tOE = 50 ns max. All values are listed in the "DC and AC Operating Range" and "AC Read Characteristics" tables for the AT49LV001NT-12JC variant.
