Product details
Overview
AT49LV002-12PC from Atmel is a 2-Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply 3.0–3.6V Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 70 ns read access time, supports byte-by-byte programming (30 µs/byte typical), features sector-based erase architecture with 16K-byte boot block and hardware data protection, and is commonly deployed in firmware update-capable industrial controllers and legacy BIOS modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV002-12PC datasheet, AT49LV002-12PC pinout, AT49LV002-12PC application, or AT49LV002-12PC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 3.0–3.6V VCC range, 120 ns maximum access time, PLCC-32 package compatibility, boot-block lockout capability, and support for DATA polling and toggle-bit program/erase verification.
Technical Context
The AT49LV002-12PC implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and operates in read, byte-program, sector-erase, and chip-erase modes via six-cycle command sequences. Its internal program controller manages timing without external clocks, and RESET pin functionality enables boot-block reprogramming override at 12 V.
Memory organization includes one 16K-byte boot block (00000H–03FFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K + 128K bytes). The device uses CMOS standby current <50 µA and active current ≤25 mA, with hardware protections including VCC sense, noise filtering on WE/CE, and program inhibit logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3V system rails; no 5V required |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns max - defines minimum bus cycle duration for reliable read operations |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - determines firmware update latency per byte in field upgrades |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max - sets worst-case delay for sector or full-chip erasure |
| End-of-Operation Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - enables software-driven timing control without fixed delays |
| Write Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - specifies lifetime under repeated firmware revision loads |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV002-12PC is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP), 0.600" wide (32P6), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard pin spacing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing (00000H–3FFFFH) |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus for read, program, and identification operations |
| 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 tristate during read to prevent contention |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during programming and erase command sequences |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-impedance outputs; 12V input enables boot-block override |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0V to +3.6V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Erase Architecture | Independent erasure of 16K-byte boot block, two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K/128K) enables selective firmware updates without full chip erase |
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | Hardware-enforced write protection for 16K-byte boot sector (00000H–03FFFH); prevents accidental corruption of bootloader code during field updates |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line inhibit (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes) reduce unintended writes |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time software detection of program/erase completion via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling - eliminates need for fixed timeout delays |
| Single 3.3V Operation | No 5V or 12V programming voltage required; simplifies power design and eliminates level-shifting circuitry in 3.3V-only systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV002-12PC | 2.7–3.6V VCC range; includes BV-series lower-voltage tolerance | Broader supply margin supports battery-powered or brown-out-prone systems | Select when system VCC may dip below 3.0V; otherwise AT49LV002-12PC suffices |
| AM29LV002BT-120EC | Same density, 120 ns access, but uses AMD-compatible command set and requires different unlock sequences | Not drop-in; requires firmware adaptation for command execution and status polling | Choose only if migrating from existing AMD-based designs or requiring second-source availability |
Compared with AT49BV002-12PC and AM29LV002BT-120EC, the AT49LV002-12PC offers tighter 3.0–3.6V regulation, identical timing, and Atmel-specific command compatibility-making it optimal for new 3.3V designs where supply stability is assured and firmware reuse is prioritized.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AT49LV002-12PC?
The AT49LV002-12PC is rated for commercial operation from 0°C to +70°C. Its datasheet confirms this range in the ordering information table for the -12PC suffix, which corresponds to the PDIP package with 120 ns access time and commercial temperature grade. Industrial-grade variants (e.g., AT49LV002-12PI) extend to –40°C to +85°C, but the -12PC variant does not support that range.
Does the AT49LV002-12PC support boot block lockout, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the AT49LV002-12PC supports boot block lockout for its 16K-byte boot sector (00000H–03FFFH). It is enabled by executing a six-cycle command sequence: load AAH to 5555H, 55H to 2AAAH, 80H to 5555H, then AAH/55H/40H to 5555H/2AAAH/5555H. Once activated, programming and erasure of the boot block are inhibited at ≤5.5V, preserving bootloader integrity in the AT49LV002-12PC.
Can the AT49LV002-12PC be programmed using standard 3.3V logic levels only?
Yes, the AT49LV002-12PC requires only 3.0–3.6V VCC and standard TTL/CMOS logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.6V) for all control inputs (CE, OE, WE, RESET). No high-voltage programming pulses or external 12V sources are needed for normal operation - though 12V applied to RESET enables boot-block override during recovery, which is optional and not required for routine programming of the AT49LV002-12PC.
What package type is used by the AT49LV002-12PC, and what are its mechanical dimensions?
The AT49LV002-12PC uses a 32-lead Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP), 0.600" wide (package code 32P6). Its body width is 15.24 mm (0.600"), lead count is 32, and it follows standard through-hole DIP footprint spacing (0.100" between rows, 0.300" row-to-row). This package is compatible with legacy socketed designs and wave-solder assembly processes used in the AT49LV002-12PC's target applications.
How does DATA polling work on the AT49LV002-12PC during byte programming?
During byte programming, reading the programmed address returns the complement of the loaded data on I/O7 until completion. Once the AT49LV002-12PC finishes programming, true data appears on I/O7 and all other outputs. This allows host firmware to poll I/O7 in a loop without fixed delays - a critical feature for deterministic update timing in resource-constrained systems using the AT49LV002-12PC.
