Product details
Overview
AT49LV002T-90PC 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 90 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable architecture with sector protection, and operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C). It is commonly deployed in boot firmware storage for industrial controllers and legacy communication modules.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV002T-90PC datasheet, AT49LV002T-90PC pinout, AT49LV002T-90PC application, or AT49LV002T-90PC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 32-pin PDIP package, boot block lockout capability (address range 3C000H–3FFFFH), DATA polling/Toggle Bit programming verification, and compatibility with standard EPROM-style bus interface timing.
Technical Context
The AT49LV002T-90PC implements a sector-organized Flash architecture with one 16K-byte boot block, two 8K-byte parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96K and 128K bytes). Its command-set-driven operation uses six-byte sequences for chip/sector erase and four-byte sequences for byte programming, all executed via standard CE/OE/WE control without requiring high-voltage programming signals.
Hardware data protection includes VCC sense (program inhibited below 1.8 V), noise filtering on WE/CE (<15 ns pulses ignored), and active inhibit logic (OE low, CE high, or WE high blocks programming). The RESET pin supports both reset functionality and 12 V override of boot block lockout - a feature absent in N-suffix variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), enabling full boot loader + configuration storage in single device |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns - meets timing for 11 MHz bus interfaces without wait states |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V system rails; no 5 V support required |
| Erase Time | 10 seconds typical for full chip erase - enables field firmware updates with predictable latency |
| Programming Speed | 30 µs/byte typical - allows rapid patching of small code/data segments |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - sufficient for infrequent firmware upgrades over product lifetime |
| Standby Current | 50 µA CMOS - supports low-power sleep modes in battery-backed applications |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV002T-90PC is supplied in a 32-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), designated as package code 32P6. Pin 1 is index corner, with pin 16 as GND and pin 32 as VCC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; A0–A17 map directly to memory location bits |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; supports true read-modify-write operations during programming |
| 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 to prevent contention during shared-bus operation |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data during command sequences and byte programming |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low reset; also accepts 12 V for boot block lockout override - critical for secure firmware recovery |
| GND | Ground | Pin 16 reference plane; decoupling capacitor placement near this pin minimizes noise during erase/write |
| VCC | Power Supply | Pin 32 supplies 3.0–3.6 V; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor per datasheet layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Lockout | 16K-byte protected region (3C000H–3FFFFH) prevents accidental overwrite of bootloader; enabled via 6-byte command sequence |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Real-time programming status feedback via I/O7 complement or I/O6 toggling - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware |
| Sector Erase Flexibility | Independent erasure of parameter blocks (8K each) and main memory blocks (96K/128K) enables modular firmware updates without full chip erase |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering, and control-line inhibit prevent spurious writes - essential for robust operation in electrically noisy industrial environments |
| 12 V RESET Override | Enables reprogramming of locked boot block during recovery procedures - unique to T-suffix devices and critical for field serviceability |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Legacy Telecom Modem Boot Code |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49BV002T-90PC | 2.7–3.6 V supply range; includes Battery-Voltage™ operation down to 2.7 V | Better suited for battery-powered or wide-input-range systems where voltage may dip below 3.0 V | Select when system VCC can fall below 3.0 V; otherwise AT49LV002T-90PC offers tighter 3.0–3.6 V regulation margin |
| AM29LV002BT-90EC | Same 2 Mbit density, 90 ns access, and 32-pin PDIP; uses AMD-compatible command set and 12 V RESET override | Direct software compatibility with existing AMD-based firmware loaders and programming tools | Choose when migrating from AMD platforms or requiring vendor-agnostic toolchain support |
Compared with AT49BV002T-90PC and AM29LV002BT-90EC, the AT49LV002T-90PC provides optimal balance of voltage margin, proven bootloader security, and industry-standard timing - making it preferred for cost-sensitive, 3.3 V-only industrial designs where 2.7 V operation is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49LV002T-90PC?
The boot block for AT49LV002T-90PC occupies memory addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16 Kbytes). This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49LV002N), which locate the boot block at 00000H–03FFFH. The relocated boot block simplifies memory mapping in systems where lower address space is reserved for RAM or peripherals, and is confirmed in the device's block diagram and command definitions section of the datasheet.
Does AT49LV002T-90PC support 12 V programming on the RESET pin?
Yes, AT49LV002T-90PC supports 12 V ± 0.5 V applied to the RESET pin to override the boot block programming lockout feature during chip erase, sector erase, or byte programming. This capability is explicitly documented in the "Boot Block Programming Lockout Override" section and is exclusive to T-suffix devices - it is not available on N-suffix variants like AT49LV002N-90PC.
What package type is used for AT49LV002T-90PC?
AT49LV002T-90PC uses a 32-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), designated as package code 32P6. This through-hole package is suitable for prototyping, legacy board assembly, and applications requiring mechanical robustness and serviceability - distinct from surface-mount alternatives like TSOP or VSOP offered in other ordering options.
How does DATA polling work on AT49LV002T-90PC?
During byte programming, AT49LV002T-90PC asserts the complement of the loaded data on I/O7. Once programming completes, true data appears on all outputs. Host firmware can poll I/O7 after initiating a write - when the bit stops toggling and matches expected value, programming is confirmed. This eliminates fixed delays and improves system responsiveness, and is fully supported per AC characteristics table and Data Polling Waveforms in the datasheet.
Is AT49LV002T-90PC compatible with standard EPROM timing and interface?
Yes, AT49LV002T-90PC uses standard EPROM-compatible control signals (CE, OE, WE) and timing - reads occur when CE and OE are low and WE is high. Its tACC (90 ns), tCE (90 ns), and tOE (max 40 ns) align with common 11 MHz microcontroller buses. No special timing generators or level shifters are required, enabling drop-in replacement for older EPROMs in legacy designs where in-system reprogrammability is added.
