Product details
Overview
AT49LV002T-12JC 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/data storage in embedded microcontroller systems. It delivers 120 ns read access time, 10 s chip erase time, 30 µs/byte programming, 10,000 write cycles, and sector-based architecture with boot block protection - deployed in industrial control firmware updates and BIOS storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV002T-12JC datasheet, AT49LV002T-12JC pinout, AT49LV002T-12JC application, or AT49LV002T-12JC equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-sector lockout override via 12 V RESET, DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-write detection, sector-erase granularity (16K/8K/96K/128K blocks), and PLCC-32 package compatibility with legacy 5 V system interfaces.
Technical Context
The AT49LV002T-12JC implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and supports hardware reset-driven boot-block reprogramming at 12 V. Its internal command register executes six-cycle sequences for chip/sector erase and byte programming without external high-voltage circuitry.
Memory organization is fixed: 16K-byte boot block (3C000–3FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks (3A000–3BFFFH, 38000–39FFFH), and two main memory blocks (20000–37FFFH and 00000–1FFFFH). Boot block lockout is software-enabled and reversible only via 12 V RESET - a feature absent in N-suffix variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), enabling full firmware images for 8-bit MCUs without external banking logic |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns - meets timing requirements for 8 MHz Z80/8051 bus cycles with no wait states |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - allows real-time field updates of configuration parameters without system freeze |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds max for full chip - supports batch reprogramming in production test fixtures |
| Write End Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware |
| Boot Block Protection | 16K-byte region (3C000–3FFFFH) with lockout enable/disable via 12 V RESET - secures bootloader integrity while permitting runtime parameter updates |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0–3.6 V - compatible with regulated 3.3 V rails; excludes 2.7 V operation unlike BV-grade variants |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV002T-12JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32) package with J-leads, suitable for socketed or surface-mount applications requiring mechanical robustness and thermal cycling resilience in industrial environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A17 enables access to upper 128K block (20000–3FFFFH) |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; latched on WE/CE rising edge during programming, tri-stated when CE or OE high |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for read access; inhibits programming if held high |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; high-Z state prevents bus contention during multi-device sharing |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates command latching on falling edge and data capture on rising edge |
| RESET | Hardware Reset Input | Logic-high = normal operation; low = high-Z outputs; 12 V pulse overrides boot block lockout - not available on N-suffix parts |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0 to +3.6 V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling during erase/write transitions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Architecture with Boot Block Lockout | Enables secure bootloader storage (3C000–3FFFFH) while allowing independent update of parameter and application sectors |
| 12 V RESET Override | Permits reprogramming of locked boot sector without device replacement - critical for field recovery of corrupted firmware |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Eliminates fixed-timing loops in host firmware; allows immediate initiation of next read/program cycle upon completion detection |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock prevent accidental writes |
| Low Power Standby | 50 µA CMOS standby current enables battery-backed operation in always-on monitoring systems |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Configuration Memory |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE | 3.3 V-only, 2 Mbit, 120 ns access, PLCC-32; lacks 12 V RESET override and boot block lockout override | No hardware-recoverable boot sector - requires full chip erase to restore bootloader if corrupted | Select when boot security is managed entirely in software and 12 V recovery is unnecessary |
| MX29LV002CTTI-12G | 3.0–3.6 V, 2 Mbit, 120 ns, PLCC-32; includes boot block protection but no 12 V RESET override capability | Boot block lockout is permanent once enabled - no field recovery path for failed updates | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where bootloader corruption risk is mitigated by rigorous pre-deployment validation |
Compared with SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE and MX29LV002CTTI-12G, the AT49LV002T-12JC uniquely provides 12 V RESET-driven boot block reprogramming - enabling field recovery without device replacement or full chip erase, a critical advantage in unattended or remote deployments.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49LV002T-12JC?
The boot block for AT49LV002T-12JC occupies addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16 Kbytes), distinct from the base AT49LV002(N) which uses 00000H–03FFFH. This upper-address placement isolates boot code from main application memory and enables independent sector erase operations without affecting startup routines. The AT49LV002T-12JC datasheet confirms this mapping in the block diagram and command definitions section.
Does AT49LV002T-12JC support 2.7 V operation?
No, AT49LV002T-12JC is specified for 3.0 V to 3.6 V operation only - unlike the BV-grade AT49BV002T-12JC which supports 2.7–3.6 V. This is explicitly stated in the DC Operating Range table: "AT49LV002(N)(T)-12" lists VCC as "3.0V–3.6V". Operation below 3.0 V may result in unreliable read/write behavior or failure to enter command sequences.
How is boot block lockout overridden on AT49LV002T-12JC?
Boot block lockout on AT49LV002T-12JC is overridden by applying 12.0 V ± 0.5 V to the RESET pin during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming - a feature absent in N-suffix variants. Once RESET returns to TTL levels, lockout reactivates. This mechanism is documented in the "Boot Block Programming Lockout Override" section and requires external 12 V generation circuitry.
What package type does AT49LV002T-12JC use?
AT49LV002T-12JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC-32) package, designated "32J" in Atmel's ordering information. Pin configurations match the standard PLCC top view with A0–A17, I/O0–I/O7, CE, OE, WE, RESET, VCC, and GND arranged per the provided PLCC diagram - confirmed in pages 4–5 of the datasheet.
Can AT49LV002T-12JC be programmed using standard 3.3 V signals only?
Yes, AT49LV002T-12JC performs all standard programming and erase operations using only 3.0–3.6 V signals - no external high-voltage generator is needed. The 12 V RESET override is strictly optional and used solely for boot block recovery; regular byte programming, sector erase, and chip erase execute fully at VCC levels, as verified in the "Device Operation" and "Command Definitions" sections.
