Product details
Overview
AT49LV001NT-90JI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) single-supply 3.0–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC with 90 ns read access time, sector-based erase architecture (16 KB boot block + two 8 KB parameter blocks + two main memory blocks), and hardware data protection. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded microcontroller boot loaders and firmware update subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV001NT-90JI datasheet, AT49LV001NT-90JI pinout, AT49LV001NT-90JI application, or AT49LV001NT-90JI equivalent, key selection considerations include industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), PLCC-32 package compatibility, boot block programming lockout capability, byte-programming timing (30 µs typical), and DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-operation detection.
Technical Context
This device implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic, internal command register for erase/program operations, and sector-erase granularity enabling selective firmware updates without full chip erasure. Its architecture separates boot code (16 KB at 1C000H–1FFFFH) from parameter and main memory blocks to support secure boot and field-upgradable applications.
It features dual-mode operation: standard read mode (CE+OE low, WE high) and command-triggered programming/erasing via six-cycle sequences written to specific address/data locations. Hardware reset override (12 V on RESET) allows boot block reprogramming even when lockout is enabled - a capability confirmed for the AT49LV001NT variant per datasheet section "BOOT BLOCK PROGRAMMING LOCKOUT OVERRIDE".
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits), organized as 128K words × 8 bits |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - enables direct integration with 3.3 V logic systems without level shifting |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns - determines maximum sustained read throughput in CPU instruction fetch or data lookup paths |

Use Scenario: Replacing obsolete EPROM-based BIOS in legacy industrial HMIs where PCB layout cannot accommodate new packages. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Drop-in parallel Flash replacement for 27C010-equivalent sockets; PLCC-32 footprint matches legacy designs. Use Value: Same pinout and 3.3 V compatibility eliminate board redesign; 90 ns access meets original timing budgets. |
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 | 3.0–3.6 V supply, 90 ns access, 1 Mbit, PLCC-32, but lacks RESET pin and boot block lockout override | No 12 V RESET override; boot protection relies solely on software lock - less robust against corruption | Preferred where simplified command set and lower cost outweigh boot security requirements |
| MX29LV001CTTI-90G | 3.0–3.6 V, 90 ns, 1 Mbit, PLCC-32, includes CFI query support and wider voltage tolerance (2.7–3.6 V) | CFI compliance simplifies auto-detection in generic flash programmers; no dedicated RESET pin for boot override | Chosen when system-level flash abstraction layers require CFI-compliant devices |
Compared with SST39VF010-90-4C-NHE and MX29LV001CTTI-90G, the AT49LV001NT-90JI uniquely supports 12 V RESET-driven boot block reprogramming - a hardware-enforced recovery path absent in both alternatives - making it preferred for safety-critical boot storage where firmware resilience is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AT49LV001NT-90JI?
The AT49LV001NT-90JI is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the "DC and AC Operating Range" table of the datasheet. This makes it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory automation controllers and outdoor telemetry units where ambient thermal stress exceeds commercial grade limits.
Does the AT49LV001NT-90JI support boot block reprogramming after lockout is enabled?
Yes - the AT49LV001NT-90JI supports boot block reprogramming even after lockout is enabled, via application of 12.0 V ± 0.5 V to the RESET pin during erase or programming operations. This hardware override is explicitly documented for the AT49LV001NT variant and distinguishes it from the N(T) variants where RESET is DC-only.
What package type does the AT49LV001NT-90JI use?
The AT49LV001NT-90JI uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as "32J" in Atmel's ordering information. Pin 1 is the index corner, and pin 9 is marked NC (No Connect), consistent with the PLCC top-view diagram in the datasheet.
How is end-of-program detection implemented in the AT49LV001NT-90JI?
The AT49LV001NT-90JI provides two hardware-supported end-of-program detection methods: DATA polling (reading the programmed byte returns its complement on I/O7 until completion) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggles during operation and stabilizes upon completion). Both are usable concurrently and eliminate reliance on fixed timing delays in host firmware.
What is the memory organization and sector layout of the AT49LV001NT-90JI?
The AT49LV001NT-90JI organizes its 1 Mbit as 131,072 × 8 bits, with sector architecture comprising one 16 KB boot block (1C000H–1FFFFH), two 8 KB parameter blocks (1A000H–1BFFFH and 18000H–19FFFH), and two main memory blocks (10000H–17FFFH and 00000H–0FFFFH). This layout enables selective erasure for modular firmware updates.
