Product details
Overview
AT49LV002T-70PI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 2-Mbit (256K × 8) single-supply 3.0–3.6V in-system reprogrammable Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded microcontroller boot systems. It delivers 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable architecture with sector protection, and operates across the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) in a 32-lead PDIP package.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV002T-70PI datasheet, AT49LV002T-70PI pinout, AT49LV002T-70PI application, or AT49LV002T-70PI equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated pin roles, confirmed sector-based erase/program behavior, boot-block lockout logic, and real-world design implications for firmware update architectures and secure boot implementations.
Technical Context
The AT49LV002T-70PI implements a standard parallel Flash interface with CE/OE/WE control logic and supports EPROM-like read operations. Its memory array is partitioned into one 16K-byte boot block (address range 3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K and 128K bytes).
It uses command-based software control for erase and program functions - including chip erase (6-cycle sequence), sector erase (6-cycle with address-dependent sector selection), and byte programming (4-cycle). Boot block lockout is enabled via a six-command sequence and can be overridden only by applying 12 V ± 0.5 V to the RESET pin during operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), organized as 262,144 words × 8 bits |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns - determines minimum bus cycle timing for reliable instruction fetch or data read in 8-bit microcontroller interfaces |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V system rails without level-shifting |
| Active Current | 25 mA - defines peak power draw during read or program cycles |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - enables low-power retention in battery-backed or always-on embedded systems |
| Erase Cycle Time | 10 seconds (typical) - sets firmware update latency for full-chip or sector-level reprogramming |
| Byte Programming Time | 30 µs typical - enables fine-grained field updates without requiring full-block erasure |
| End-of-Program Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) or Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed timing delays in host firmware |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV002T-70PI is supplied in a 32-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), 0.600" wide (package code 32P6). Pin 1 is index corner, with pin numbering counterclockwise.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A14 used for software ID mode |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for valid read output |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus tristate to prevent contention during shared-bus operation |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command cycle timing |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; halts ongoing program/erase; 12 V override enables boot block reprogramming when lockout is active |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for Toggle Bit status indication |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0 V to +3.6 V supply; internal voltage regulation enables consistent program pulse generation |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all digital and programming currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Programming Lockout | 16K-byte protected region (3C000H–3FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of boot code; lockout activated via 6-command sequence |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line interlock (OE low/CE high/WE high blocks writes) |
| Sector Architecture | Independent erasability of two 8K parameter blocks and two main memory blocks enables modular firmware updates without full-chip erase |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time end-of-program detection via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggle eliminates fixed timeout delays in host controller firmware |
| Single 3.3 V Supply | No external 5 V or 12 V required for normal operation - simplifies power design and reduces BOM cost |

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, but uses different command set and lacks RESET-based boot override | Requires modified host driver for erase/program; no 12 V boot unlock - unsuitable where legacy boot lockout recovery is mandatory | Select if command compatibility with SST39VF family is prioritized over Atmel-specific boot recovery features |
| MX29LV020TC-70G | 3.0–3.6 V, 70 ns, 2 Mbit, supports CFI query, but boot block size is 8K not 16K and lockout mechanism differs | CFI support eases auto-detection in generic flash programmers; smaller boot block may require firmware relocation | Select for systems needing standardized CFI interface or where boot code fits in 8K and CFI toolchain integration is critical |
Compared with SST39VF020-70-4C-NHE and MX29LV020TC-70G, the AT49LV002T-70PI offers unique 16K boot block addressing (3C000H–3FFFFH) and hardware-enabled 12 V RESET override - critical for field-recoverable secure boot in long-lifecycle industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49LV002T-70PI?
The AT49LV002T-70PI boot block occupies address range 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16 Kbytes). This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49LV002), which locate the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The T-suffix denotes top-boot architecture, enabling direct mapping of boot code to high memory addresses for Harvard-architecture MCUs.
Does AT49LV002T-70PI support 12 V programming or 12 V-only operations?
No - AT49LV002T-70PI operates exclusively from a 3.0–3.6 V supply for all normal read, erase, and program functions. The 12 V ± 0.5 V signal applies only to the RESET pin during boot block override operations and is not used for programming voltage generation. Internal charge pumps handle all required high-voltage pulses.
How is boot block lockout enabled and verified on AT49LV002T-70PI?
Boot block lockout is enabled by executing a six-command sequence (AAh/55h/80h/AAh/55h/40h) to address 5555h. Verification is performed in Software Product Identification mode: reading address 3C002H returns lockout status on I/O0 - low = unlocked, high = locked. This is specific to the T-suffix variant's top-boot layout.
Can AT49LV002T-70PI be used as a direct replacement for AT49BV002T-70PI?
No - AT49LV002T-70PI requires 3.0–3.6 V only, while AT49BV002T-70PI supports 2.7–3.6 V. Though pinout and timing match, the lower 2.7 V threshold of the BV version enables operation in brown-out or battery-depleted conditions where the LV variant would reset. Voltage range mismatch makes them non-interchangeable without system-level validation.
What packaging and temperature grade does AT49LV002T-70PI use?
AT49LV002T-70PI uses a 32-lead plastic dual in-line package (PDIP, 0.600" wide, package code 32P6) and is rated for the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). The "-70" suffix denotes 70 ns access time; the "-PI" suffix confirms PDIP packaging and commercial grade - distinct from "-JI" (industrial PDIP) or "-TC" (TSOP).
