Product details
Overview
AT49LV001NT-90JC 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 features 70 ns read access time, sector-based erase architecture (16 KB boot block + two 8 KB parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable operation (30 µs/byte typical), and hardware data protection. It is commonly deployed in industrial control firmware storage where in-system reprogrammability and boot code integrity are required.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV001NT-90JC datasheet, AT49LV001NT-90JC pinout, AT49LV001NT-90JC application, or AT49LV001NT-90JC equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping, real-world use cases, and validated alternative parts - all grounded in the official Atmel 1110C–FLASH–9/03 datasheet and Microchip product documentation.
Technical Context
The AT49LV001NT-90JC implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and supports both hardware and software product identification modes. Its internal architecture includes dedicated boot block programming lockout (enabled via six-byte command sequence), DATA polling and toggle-bit status detection, and RESET-pin-based override (12 V) for boot block reprogramming - though RESET is DC on this N(T) variant and not functional for reset assertion.
It uses Atmel's nonvolatile CMOS process to achieve 25 mA active current and 50 µA CMOS standby current over commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). The device supports full-chip erase (tEC = 10 s), sector erase (parameter blocks and main memory blocks), and byte-by-byte programming without requiring high-voltage programming signals - all controlled via standardized command sequences written to address 5555H/2AAAH.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - sufficient for small MCU bootloaders and 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 only - eliminates need for 5 V or dual-rail power supplies in modern low-voltage designs. |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds typical for full chip erase - enables field firmware updates without external programmer dependency. |
| Programming Speed | 30 µs/byte typical - allows efficient incremental updates to parameter blocks during runtime. |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - suitable for infrequently updated firmware or calibration data storage. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - critical for battery-backed or low-power monitoring applications. |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV001NT-90JC is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic J-leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin PLCC footprint. Pin 1 is marked by corner notch; pin 9 is NC (No Connect) per datasheet Note on page 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A16 is MSB for 131,072-word space. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path for read, program, and status polling; supports true bidirectional I/O without direction control pin. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access - prevents bus contention in shared-memory systems. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus tristate independently of CE - enables flexible memory-mapped I/O timing. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address and data during command sequences and byte programming cycles. |
| RESET* | Reset Input | DC (not functional for reset); tied internally to VCC level - boot block override requires 12 V applied externally during erase/program. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0 V to +3.6 V supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin for stable read/write operation. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling into data lines. |
| NC / DC | No Connect / Don't Connect | Pins 9 (PLCC top view) and 32 (DIP/TSOP) are unconnected - must remain floating per datasheet. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16 KB protected region (1C000H–1FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code; enabled via 6-byte command sequence. |
| Data Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time status feedback via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling - eliminates need for fixed delay timers during programming/erase. |
| Sector Erase Architecture | Independent erasure of two 8 KB parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (32 KB + 64 KB) - enables modular firmware updates. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filter (<15 ns pulse rejection), and control-line inhibit (OE low/CE high/WE high) prevent spurious writes. |
| 3-V-Only Command Set | All operations (read, program, erase, ID) executed using standard 3 V logic levels - no external 12 V programming voltage required. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE | Same density (1 Mbit), 90 ns access, 3.0–3.6 V supply, but uses different command set and lacks boot block lockout. | No hardware-enforced boot sector protection; relies on software-only safeguards. | Select when boot code integrity is managed at firmware level and pinout compatibility is prioritized. |
| MX29LV001CTTI-90G | 1 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.0–3.6 V, supports boot block protection but with different address mapping (00000H–03FFFH vs. 1C000H–1FFFFH). | Boot block resides at lowest address; incompatible with AT49LV001NT-90JC's high-address boot region. | Select only if redesigning boot vector location and verifying command sequence compatibility. |
Compared with SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV001CTTI-90G, the AT49LV001NT-90JC uniquely provides high-address boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH) with hardware lockout and 12 V RESET override - making it preferred for systems where bootloader location and physical write protection are design-critical.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49LV001NT-90JC?
The AT49LV001NT-90JC has its 16 KB boot block located at address range 1C000H to 1FFFFH, as confirmed in the "Notes" section of the datasheet (page 6). This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49LV001N), which place the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The high-address placement isolates boot code from main application memory regions.
Does AT49LV001NT-90JC support hardware reset functionality?
No - the RESET pin on AT49LV001NT-90JC is designated as DC (Don't Connect) per the datasheet (page 2), meaning it is internally tied off and not functional for reset assertion. However, applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to this pin during erase or program operations enables boot block override, confirming its retained role for protection bypass only.
Can AT49LV001NT-90JC be used as a direct replacement for AT49LV001N-90JC?
No - AT49LV001NT-90JC and AT49LV001N-90JC differ in boot block location (1C000H–1FFFFH vs. 00000H–03FFFH), command-set behavior for boot lockout, and RESET pin functionality. Firmware that assumes low-address boot vectors or uses RESET-based recovery will not operate correctly without modification.
What is the maximum erase time for a single sector in AT49LV001NT-90JC?
The datasheet specifies a maximum full-chip erase time of 10 seconds (tEC), but does not define a separate maximum for individual sector erase. All sector erase operations use the same internal timing engine and complete within the same 10-second window - consistent across parameter blocks and main memory blocks per the "Sector Erase" description on page 4.
How is DATA polling implemented on AT49LV001NT-90JC?
During byte programming, reading the last programmed address returns the complement of the loaded data on I/O7 until completion; once valid, true data appears on all outputs. This allows host firmware to poll I/O7 without fixed delays - a feature explicitly confirmed for AT49BV/LV001(N)(T) devices in the "DATA POLLING" section (page 5) of the datasheet.
