Product details
Overview
AT49LV002T-12PI 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 120 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable architecture with sector protection, and operates across industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in 32-pin PDIP package.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV002T-12PI datasheet, AT49LV002T-12PI pinout, AT49LV002T-12PI application, or AT49LV002T-12PI equivalent, key selection considerations include boot block lockout behavior (3C000H–3FFFFH), DC/AC timing compliance at 120 ns, industrial-grade VCC standby current (50 µA), and compatibility with standard 5V-command protocol for programming without high-voltage circuitry.
Technical Context
The AT49LV002T-12PI implements a command-based software-controlled Flash architecture with six-byte instruction sequences for chip/sector erase and byte programming. Its memory map allocates a 16K-byte boot block at address 3C000H–3FFFFH, two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K and 128K bytes), enabling secure firmware storage and field-upgradable configuration data.
Hardware data protection includes VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock (OE low, CE high, or WE high disables write). End-of-program detection is supported via DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling), both usable during active cycles without external timing constraints.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8), organized as 256K words × 8 bits - supports full firmware image storage for 8-bit MCUs. |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns max - meets timing requirements for 8 MHz bus interfaces without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with regulated 3.3 V system rails; no external voltage translators needed. |
| Erase Time | 10 seconds typical for full chip erase - enables rapid field updates without extended downtime. |
| Programming Time | 30 µs/byte typical - allows efficient patching of small code/data segments in real time. |
| Endurance | 10,000 program/erase cycles - sufficient for firmware update cycles over 5+ year product lifetimes. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - enables ultra-low-power retention in battery-backed or energy-harvesting systems. |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV002T-12PI is supplied in a 32-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), pin-compatible with industry-standard 32-pin Flash memory footprints. Thermal and mechanical characteristics align with JEDEC MS-001.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A16 used for byte-level access, A17 selects upper/lower half. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; supports true read-modify-write operations and data polling on I/O7/I/O6. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables device decoding in multi-chip memory maps; must be low with OE low and WE high for read. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; places I/O pins in high-impedance state when high to prevent bus contention. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command cycle timing. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low hardware reset; halts ongoing operations and forces high-Z outputs; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0 V to +3.6 V supply; powers core logic and charge pumps; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16K-byte protected region (3C000H–3FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader code; enabled via 6-cycle command sequence. |
| Software Command Architecture | No external high-voltage programming required; uses standard 5V-command protocol (e.g., 5555H/AAH, 2AAAH/55H) for erase/program operations. |
| Data Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time end-of-program detection via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware. |
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erasure of two 8K-byte parameter blocks and two main memory blocks (96K/128K) - enables selective firmware module updates. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and control-line interlock prevent spurious writes during power transients or EMI events. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV002T-12PI | 2.7–3.6 V supply range; includes Battery-Voltage™ operation down to 2.7 V. | Better suited for battery-powered systems with brown-out conditions; higher active current (25 mA vs. 25 mA) but same standby. | Select when system VCC may dip below 3.0 V during operation or battery discharge. |
| SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE | 3.0–3.6 V only; 120 ns access; 2 Mbit density; 512-byte sector erase granularity. | Finer erase resolution enables smaller incremental updates; lacks RESET-based boot block override. | Prefer for applications requiring frequent small-block updates where boot block override is unnecessary. |
Compared with AT49BV002T-12PI and SST39VF020-120-4C-NHE, the AT49LV002T-12PI offers tighter VCC tolerance (3.0–3.6 V only), guaranteed industrial temperature operation, and unique 12 V RESET override for boot block reprogramming - making it optimal for safety-critical embedded systems requiring deterministic firmware recovery paths.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49LV002T-12PI?
The boot block for AT49LV002T-12PI occupies addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16K bytes). This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49LV002N), which locate the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The T-suffix denotes top-boot architecture, placing protected firmware at the highest memory address for natural alignment with MCU vector tables.
Does AT49LV002T-12PI support 12 V programming voltage?
No, AT49LV002T-12PI operates exclusively from a 3.0–3.6 V supply and does not require or accept 12 V for programming. However, applying 12.0 V ± 0.5 V to the RESET pin during erase/program operations overrides the boot block lockout feature - this is a dedicated hardware recovery mechanism, not a programming voltage.
Can AT49LV002T-12PI be used in place of AT49LV002-12PI?
No, AT49LV002T-12PI is not a drop-in replacement for AT49LV002-12PI. The "T" suffix indicates top-boot architecture (boot block at 3C000H–3FFFFH), whereas the non-T version uses bottom-boot (00000H–03FFFH). Software that assumes bottom-boot addressing will fail unless memory map and bootloader code are revised.
What is the maximum erase time for AT49LV002T-12PI?
The maximum erase time for AT49LV002T-12PI is 10 seconds for full chip erase. Sector erase times are not specified individually in the datasheet but are internally controlled and typically faster. The device automatically manages erase timing - no external clocks or polling delays are required beyond the 10-second worst-case window.
How does DATA polling work on AT49LV002T-12PI?
During byte programming, reading the last programmed address returns the complement of the loaded data on I/O7 until completion. Once programming finishes, true data appears on all I/O lines. This allows host firmware to poll I/O7 without fixed delays - the transition from complement to true value signals readiness for the next operation.
