Product details
Overview
AT49LV002-12VI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply 3.0–3.6 V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable operation (30 µs/byte typical), and hardware data protection - enabling secure boot code retention in industrial control firmware updates.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV002-12VI datasheet, AT49LV002-12VI pinout, AT49LV002-12VI application, or AT49LV002-12VI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin PLCC package, boot block lockout capability, sector-based erase architecture (16K boot + two 8K parameter + two main memory blocks), and compatibility with standard 5V-command protocols despite 3V-only operation.
Technical Context
The AT49LV002-12VI implements a command-register-based programming interface using standard microprocessor timing with CE/OE/WE control lines. Its internal program logic supports software-controlled chip erase, sector erase, byte programming, and boot block lockout activation via six-cycle command sequences written to fixed address locations (e.g., 5555H/2AAAH).
It features dual data-valid detection methods - DATA polling (I/O7 complement toggle) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - for end-of-program/erase cycle confirmation without external timing dependencies. The device operates across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range and integrates VCC sense, noise filtering, and input-level inhibition to prevent inadvertent writes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K bytes for direct byte-addressable firmware storage |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns max - defines worst-case instruction fetch latency in 8-bit microcontroller boot paths |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with regulated 3.3 V system rails; no 5 V required for command execution |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds typical - enables full-chip or sector-level field firmware updates within deterministic time budgets |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - supports incremental configuration updates without blocking system operation for extended periods |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - validated lifetime for industrial firmware revision management over product lifecycle |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - ensures ultra-low power retention during MCU sleep modes in battery-backed systems |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV002-12VI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-leads, pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin PLCC footprints. Pin 1 is marked by corner notch; pin numbering follows counter-clockwise sequence starting from top-left corner when viewed from top.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-byte addressing; A0–A15 used for byte selection, A16–A17 for block selection in sector operations |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read access; enables bus contention avoidance |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; places I/O pins in high-impedance state when high, allowing shared data bus operation |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command cycle timing; inhibits programming if held high |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; carries command codes, program data, and read outputs; supports DATA polling on I/O7 and Toggle Bit on I/O6 |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0 V to +3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; requires local decoupling per high-speed Flash layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; must be low-inductance connection to minimize read/write noise coupling |
| RESET* | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming when lockout is active |
| DC | No Connect | Pin 1 on PLCC package is unconnected; must remain floating - not tied to VCC, GND, or any signal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16 KB protected region (00000H–03FFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code; enabled via 6-cycle command sequence |
| Sector Architecture | Four independently erasable sectors: one 16 KB boot block, two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96 KB + 128 KB) |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V disables programming), noise filter (<15 ns pulse rejection), and multi-input inhibit (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes) |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time program/erase completion detection without timers: I/O7 complement toggle or I/O6 state toggle confirms operation finish |
| In-System Reprogrammability | Standard 5 V command protocol executed at 3 V supply - eliminates need for external VPP programming voltage or dedicated programmers |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE | 3.0–3.6 V supply, 70 ns access, 2 Mbit density, same PLCC-32 package; lacks RESET pin and 12 V boot override | No hardware boot block lockout override; relies solely on software lock/unlock commands | Select when boot block reprogramming under lockout is unnecessary and cost sensitivity outweighs override flexibility |
| MX29LV002CTTI-12 | 3.0–3.6 V supply, 120 ns access, 2 Mbit density, PLCC-32; includes CFI-compliant command set and status register polling | Uses standard Common Flash Interface protocol instead of Atmel-specific command sequences | Select when migrating to CFI-based toolchains or requiring vendor-agnostic flash management firmware |
Compared with SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE and MX29LV002CTTI-12, the AT49LV002-12VI uniquely provides 12 V RESET override for boot block reprogramming - critical for recovery in locked-field deployments - while maintaining identical timing, voltage, and packaging for drop-in replacement where that feature is unused.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AT49LV002-12VI?
The AT49LV002-12VI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the "DC and AC Operating Range" table of the official datasheet (Rev. 0982D), where the "I" suffix in the ordering code denotes industrial grade. The device maintains full functionality-including 120 ns read access, 10-second erase, and 30 µs byte programming-across this full range.
Does the AT49LV002-12VI require a 5 V programming voltage?
No, the AT49LV002-12VI does not require a 5 V programming voltage. It operates exclusively from a 3.0–3.6 V supply for both read and write operations. Programming is performed using standard 5 V logic-level command sequences applied to the address and data bus, but all internal programming pulses are generated autonomously - eliminating external VPP requirements. This is explicitly stated in the "Description" section and verified in the "Features" list.
How is the boot block protected on the AT49LV002-12VI?
The AT49LV002-12VI protects its 16 KB boot block (address range 00000H–03FFFH) via a software-enabled lockout feature. Once activated using a documented six-cycle command sequence (5555H/AA → 2AAAH/55 → 5555H/80 → 5555H/AA → 2AAAH/55 → 5555H/40), the boot block becomes immune to erase and program commands at ≤5.5 V. The AT49LV002-12VI retains the 12 V RESET override capability to re-enable programming if needed.
What package type is used for the AT49LV002-12VI?
The AT49LV002-12VI uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, designated as "32J" in Atmel's ordering nomenclature. This is confirmed in the "AT49LV002 Ordering Information" table (page 15), where "AT49LV002-12JI" specifies the industrial-grade, 120 ns version in PLCC. Pin configurations, including DC (don't connect) on pin 1, match the PLCC top view diagram on page 5.
Can the AT49LV002-12VI be used as a direct replacement for the AT49BV002-12VI?
The AT49LV002-12VI and AT49BV002-12VI share identical pinout, timing, and command-set architecture but differ in supply voltage range: AT49LV002-12VI operates from 3.0–3.6 V only, while AT49BV002-12VI supports 2.7–3.6 V. They are functionally interchangeable in 3.3 V systems, but AT49LV002-12VI must not be used in 2.7 V designs. Both support boot block lockout and 12 V RESET override, confirming functional equivalence where voltage margins permit.
