Product details
Overview
AT49LV001NT-12JI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 3.0–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 120 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programming at 30 µs/byte typical, and features hardware data protection, DATA polling, and a 16-Kbyte boot block with programmable lockout.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV001NT-12JI datasheet, AT49LV001NT-12JI pinout, AT49LV001NT-12JI application, or AT49LV001NT-12JI equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, sector architecture details, boot-block protection behavior, industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C), and real-world use cases in firmware update-capable embedded controllers.
Technical Context
The AT49LV001NT-12JI implements a sector-organized Flash architecture comprising one 16-Kbyte boot block (address range 1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8-Kbyte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (32K and 64K bytes). Its command interface uses standard CE/OE/WE control lines with no high-voltage programming required - all operations executed via six-byte software command sequences.
It supports three key operational modes: Read (CE/OE low, WE high), Byte Programming (CE low, OE high, WE low), and Chip/Sector Erase (multi-cycle command sequence with address/data latching on falling/rising edges of CE or WE). The RESET pin enables system-level reset and - when driven to 12 V - overrides boot block lockout during erase/program cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits) - sufficient for bootloader, configuration tables, and firmware patches in 8-bit/16-bit MCU systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic rails and battery-backed industrial designs without level-shifting. |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns - meets timing requirements for wait-state-free execution from Flash on MCUs with ≤8.3 MHz bus clocks. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds (typical) - enables field firmware updates with predictable downtime; chip erase excludes boot block if lockout is enabled. |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - allows rapid patching of individual configuration registers or calibration constants without full-sector rewrite. |
| End-of-Program Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including motor control and remote sensing. |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV001NT-12JI is packaged in a 32-lead PLCC (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier), pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin Flash memory footprints. The package supports surface-mount assembly and offers robust thermal performance for sustained write cycles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A16 selects upper/lower 64K region. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read/write transfers; high-impedance when CE or OE is inactive. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for valid read/write cycles; enables bus contention avoidance in multi-device systems. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive only - does not affect internal state or erase/program sequencing. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low system reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming. |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 3.3 V supply with CMOS standby current <50 µA - critical for low-power sleep-mode retention. |
| DC / NC | No Connect / Don't Connect | Pins 1 (PLCC) and 9 (TSOP) are unconnected; must remain floating per datasheet - no pull-up/down or routing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16-Kbyte protected region (1C000H–1FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code; lockout activated via 6-byte command sequence. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<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) enables modular firmware updates without full chip erase. |
| 10,000 Program/Erase Cycles | Guaranteed endurance for field-upgradable systems requiring frequent calibration or configuration changes over product lifetime. |
| Software Product Identification | Manufacturer code 1FH and device code 04H readable via 3-cycle software entry - enables automatic algorithm selection in universal programmers. |

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49LV001NT-12JI?
The AT49LV001NT-12JI uses the "T" variant memory map, where the 16-Kbyte boot block occupies addresses 1C000H to 1FFFFH. This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49LV001N), which locate the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The T suffix explicitly denotes this relocated boot sector layout, confirmed in the datasheet's "Notes" section and sector erase address table.
Does AT49LV001NT-12JI support 12 V RESET override for boot block programming?
Yes, AT49LV001NT-12JI supports 12 V ± 0.5 V applied to the RESET pin to temporarily disable boot block lockout during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming. This feature is explicitly documented in the "BOOT BLOCK PROGRAMMING LOCKOUT OVERRIDE" section and applies to all "T" variants, including AT49LV001NT-12JI.
What package type is used for AT49LV001NT-12JI?
AT49LV001NT-12JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as "32J" in Atmel's ordering information. This is confirmed in the "AT49LV001NT Ordering Information" table (page 19), where "-12JI" suffix maps to industrial temperature grade and PLCC packaging.
How many program/erase cycles is AT49LV001NT-12JI rated for?
AT49LV001NT-12JI is rated for a minimum of 10,000 program/erase cycles, as stated in the "Features" section and reinforced in the "Device Operation" description. This endurance specification applies across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and is guaranteed per Atmel's qualification testing.
Is the RESET pin functional on AT49LV001NT-12JI?
Yes, the RESET pin is fully functional on AT49LV001NT-12JI. Unlike the "N(T)" variants (e.g., AT49BV001N(T)), the "T" suffix indicates RESET is implemented - enabling both system reset and 12 V boot block override. This is clarified in the "RESET" subsection and pin function table, where RESET is defined as an active-low input with override capability.
