Product details
Overview
AT49LV002T-90PI 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 features 70 ns read access time, 10-second chip erase, byte-programmable architecture with sector protection, and operates across the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) in a 32-pin PDIP package.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV002T-90PI datasheet, AT49LV002T-90PI pinout, AT49LV002T-90PI application, or AT49LV002T-90PI equivalent, key selection criteria include boot-block lockout capability (3C000H–3FFFFH), DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-write detection, hardware reset-based boot override (12 V on RESET), and compatibility with standard 5 V–compatible command sequences despite 3.3 V operation.
Technical Context
This device implements a command-register-based Flash architecture with six-byte software command sequences for chip/sector erase and byte programming. Its sector layout includes one 16 KB boot block (address 3C000H–3FFFFH), two 8 KB parameter blocks, and two main memory blocks (96 KB and 128 KB), enabling selective firmware updates without disturbing secure boot code.
Hardware data protection includes VCC sense (<1.8 V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored), and control-line gating (OE low, CE high, or WE high disables writes). The RESET pin supports both standard reset and 12 V–triggered boot-block reprogramming override - a feature absent in N-suffix variants.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Mbit (256K × 8), organized as 262,144 words × 8 bits - sufficient for full bootloader + configuration data in space-constrained MCU designs. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic systems without level-shifting; no 5 V required for programming. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns - enables direct execution (XIP) from Flash in mid-speed microcontrollers without wait states. |
| Erase Time | 10 seconds (chip erase) - deterministic timing allows predictable firmware update windows in field-deployed devices. |
| Byte Programming | 30 µs typical - supports fine-grained parameter updates without erasing entire sectors. |
| End-of-Write Detection | DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - eliminates need for fixed delay timers in host firmware. |
| Boot Block Protection | 16 KB (3C000H–3FFFFH) with lockout enable/disable via command sequence - isolates immutable boot code from runtime updates. |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV002T-90PI is supplied in a 32-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP), 0.600" wide (package code 32P6), with through-hole mounting and industry-standard footprint.
| 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 locations including boot block (3C000H–3FFFFH). |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Inputs/Outputs | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; I/O7 used for DATA polling, I/O6 for Toggle Bit status indication during program/erase. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for read access; dual-control prevents bus contention. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus tristate independently of CE, enabling flexible memory-mapped or I/O-mapped interfacing. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address/data on falling/rising edges per command cycle timing; critical for issuing 6-cycle erase/lockout commands. |
| RESET | Reset Input | Active-low system reset; applying 12 V ±0.5 V enables boot block reprogramming even when lockout is active - unique to T-suffix devices. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0 V to +3.6 V supply; powers internal charge pumps and logic; VCC sense circuitry disables writes if voltage drops below ~1.8 V. |
| GND | Ground | Reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; decoupling capacitor placement near this pin is critical for stable erase/program operations. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Boot Block Lockout Override | 12 V applied to RESET pin during operation unlocks protected 16 KB boot sector (3C000H–3FFFFH) - enables field recovery of corrupted boot code without device replacement. |
| Software Command Architecture | Six-byte command sequences (e.g., 5555H/AAH → 2AAAH/55H → 5555H/80H → …) executed via standard microprocessor write cycles - no external high-voltage generator needed. |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns), and control-line interlock (OE/CE/WE states) prevent accidental writes during power transients or EMI events - critical for automotive/industrial reliability. |
| Two-Mode End-of-Write Detection | Simultaneous support for DATA polling (I/O7 complement) and Toggle Bit (I/O6 toggling) - gives firmware designers flexibility in interrupt-driven vs. polling-based update routines. |
| Sector-Erasable Memory Map | Dedicated 8 KB parameter blocks (3A000H–3BFFFH, 38000H–39FFFH) allow independent calibration/data storage updates without affecting main application code in 20000H–37FFFH or boot code in 3C000H–3FFFFH. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Configuration Memory |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing firmware images and field-upgradable logic for programmable logic controllers operating in harsh factory environments with wide temperature swings.

Use Scenario: Storing primary bootloader and fail-safe recovery image in enterprise-grade network infrastructure where uptime and secure boot are mandatory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual main memory blocks (20000H–37FFFH and 00000H–1FFFFH) support A/B firmware partitioning; sector erase enables atomic updates without service interruption. Use Value: DATA polling and Toggle Bit provide deterministic write completion signaling - eliminating race conditions in multi-threaded bootloader update managers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT49LV002-90PI | No RESET-based boot override; boot block lockout is permanent once enabled (no 12 V unlock path); same 3.0–3.6 V supply and 90 ns timing. | Lacks field-recoverable boot code capability; suitable only where boot firmware never requires post-deployment modification. | Select only if boot code is truly immutable and cost sensitivity outweighs field-serviceability needs. |
| SST39VF020-90-4C-NHE | 3.3 V-only, 2 Mbit, 90 ns access; uses different command set (single-byte unlock); no dedicated boot block - entire array erasable in 10 ms (vs. 10 s here). | Higher endurance (100K cycles), faster erase, but lacks hardware-protected boot region - requires software-managed partitioning. | Prefer for high-frequency parameter logging; avoid where certified boot integrity is mandated. |
Compared with AT49LV002-90PI, the AT49LV002T-90PI adds critical field-serviceability via 12 V RESET override; compared with SST39VF020, it trades raw speed for hardware-enforced boot security and deterministic erase timing - making it superior for safety-critical embedded boot storage.

FAQ
What is the boot block address range for AT49LV002T-90PI?
The boot block for AT49LV002T-90PI occupies addresses 3C000H to 3FFFFH (16 KB). This differs from non-T variants (e.g., AT49LV002-90PI), whose boot block is at 00000H–03FFFH. The relocated boot sector simplifies memory mapping in systems using higher-addressed code regions and is explicitly defined in the AT49LV002T datasheet revision 0982D.
Does AT49LV002T-90PI support 5 V tolerant inputs?
AT49LV002T-90PI does not support 5 V tolerant inputs. All inputs (CE, OE, WE, A0–A17, RESET) have absolute maximum ratings of −0.6 V to +6.25 V, but DC operating specifications require VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.6 V referenced to VCC = 3.0–3.6 V. Interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers requires level translation on control/address lines.
How is boot block lockout enabled on AT49LV002T-90PI?
Boot block lockout on AT49LV002T-90PI is enabled by executing a six-cycle command sequence: write AAH to 5555H, 55H to 2AAAH, 80H to 5555H, AAH to 5555H, 55H to 2AAAH, then 40H to 5555H. Once activated, programming/erasure of the 3C000H–3FFFFH region is blocked for VCC ≤ 5.5 V - confirmed in the "Boot Block Programming Lockout" section of the datasheet.
Can AT49LV002T-90PI be erased sector-by-sector?
Yes, AT49LV002T-90PI supports sector erase for both 8 KB parameter blocks (3A000H–3BFFFH and 38000H–39FFFH) and the two main memory blocks (20000H–37FFFH and 00000H–1FFFFH). Each sector erase uses the same six-cycle command sequence with sector-specific address loading, as detailed in the "Sector Erase" subsection of the datasheet.
What is the standby current specification for AT49LV002T-90PI?
AT49LV002T-90PI draws 50 µA CMOS standby current (ISB1) when CE is held at VCC − 0.3 V to VCC, and 3 mA TTL standby current (ISB2) when CE is at 2.0 V to VCC. These values are measured across the industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and are specified in the DC Characteristics table of the official datasheet.
