Product details
Overview
AT49LV1024-90VI from Atmel is a 1-megabit (64K × 16) 3.0V-only Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded boot code and firmware applications. It features 90 ns read access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 10,000 write/erase cycles, and an 8K-word boot block with hardware lockout. The device operates in standard EPROM-compatible read mode and supports word-by-word programming with Data Polling and Toggle Bit status detection.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV1024-90VI datasheet, AT49LV1024-90VI pinout, AT49LV1024-90VI application, or AT49LV1024-90VI equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade reliability, VSOP-40 package compatibility, boot-sector write protection, single-supply 3V operation, and fast 20 µs/word programming - all critical for secure firmware update architectures in industrial controllers and legacy system upgrades.
Technical Context
The AT49LV1024-90VI implements a 16-bit parallel interface with asynchronous read/write control via CE, OE, and WE signals, supporting EPROM-like read timing and command-set-based programming/erasing. Its internal architecture separates main memory (56K words) from an optional 8K-word boot block, each independently erasable using six-cycle command sequences.
Hardware data protection includes VCC sense (<1.8V inhibits programming), noise filtering (<15 ns pulses ignored on WE/CE), and active-level inhibit logic (OE low, CE high, or WE high blocks writes). Status detection relies on I/O7 Data Polling and I/O6 Toggle Bit, both usable at any point during erase or program cycles without halting host operations.

| I/O0–I/O15 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 16-bit parallel data path; tristated when CE or OE is inactive to prevent bus contention |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for read/write operations; high-Z output state when asserted high |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drivers independently of CE to support multiplexed bus sharing |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches address and data on falling edge for programming/erase commands |
| VCC | Power Supply | +3.0V to +3.6V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin |
| GND | Ground | Two dedicated ground pins (pins 18 and 30); mandatory for stable noise margin and signal integrity |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 7, 19, 27, 31, 32, 39 - internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single-Voltage Programming | 3.1V only required for writes - eliminates need for external 12V programming voltage generators or charge pumps |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the AT49LV1024-90VI?
The AT49LV1024-90VI is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the "DC and AC Operating Range" table of the official datasheet (Rev. 1278D–07/01), where the "I" suffix denotes industrial grade. The device maintains full 90 ns read access time and reliable programming performance across this full range.
Does the AT49LV1024-90VI require high-voltage programming signals?
No, the AT49LV1024-90VI does not require high-voltage programming signals. As stated in the Features section, it supports single-voltage operation: 3V for read and 3.1V for programming. All programming and erase commands are executed using standard 3.3V logic levels applied to CE, OE, WE, and I/O pins - no external 12V generator or charge pump is needed.
How is the boot block protected from accidental erasure in the AT49LV1024-90VI?
The AT49LV1024-90VI implements hardware-enforced boot block lockout for the 8K-word region (0000H–1FFFH). Once enabled via a six-cycle command sequence (5555H/AA → 2AAAH/55 → 5555H/80 → 5555H/AA → 2AAAH/55 → 5555H/40), the boot block becomes permanently immune to both erase and program commands - even during chip erase operations.
What package type is used by the AT49LV1024-90VI?
The AT49LV1024-90VI uses a 40-lead Thin Small Outline Package (VSOP), measuring 10 mm × 14 mm. This is explicitly defined in the "AT49LV1024 Ordering Information" table (page 13) and illustrated in the "AT49LV1024 VSOP Top View" diagram (page 2). The "VC" suffix in other variants confirms VSOP; the "VI" suffix denotes industrial temperature grade within that same package.
Can the AT49LV1024-90VI be used as a direct replacement for standard EPROMs?
Yes, the AT49LV1024-90VI supports EPROM-compatible read operation: when CE and OE are low and WE is high, it asserts data on I/O0–I/O15 identically to a 27C1001 or similar 16-bit EPROM. Its 90 ns access time, parallel address/data bus, and identical pinout (VSOP-40) enable drop-in replacement - though programming requires command sequences instead of UV erasure.
