Product details
Overview
AT49LV1024A-45VL from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 3.0V–3.6V single-supply 1-Mbit (64K × 16) Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded boot applications. It delivers 45 ns read access time, supports word-by-word programming at 20 µs/word typical, and features an 8K-word boot block with hardware lockout for secure firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV1024A-45VL datasheet, AT49LV1024A-45VL pinout, AT49LV1024A-45VL application, or AT49LV1024A-45VL equivalent, key selection considerations include its VSOP-40 package, 10,000 write/erase cycles, hardware data protection (VCC sense, noise filtering), Data Polling/Toggle Bit end-of-operation detection, and boot block lockout enable algorithm requiring six specific command cycles.
Technical Context
The AT49LV1024A-45VL operates as a parallel-interface Flash memory with EPROM-compatible read behavior: data output is enabled when CE and OE are low and WE is high. Its internal command register executes erase and program operations without external high-voltage support, using only standard 3.0V–3.6V logic levels.
Erase functionality includes Chip Erase (entire array) and Main Memory Erase (56K-word region only), both internally timed and completing in ≤1.5 seconds. The optional boot block (0000H–1FFFH) supports permanent write lockout via a deterministic six-cycle command sequence, verified by software-read status at I/O0 during Product ID mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (64K × 16 words), enabling compact firmware storage for 8/16-bit microcontrollers |
| Read Access Time | 45 ns - meets timing requirements for 22 MHz bus interfaces without wait states |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V to 3.6V - compatible with modern low-voltage logic rails and eliminates need for voltage translators |
| Programming Time | 20 µs/word typical - allows rapid field updates of small code segments without system interruption |
| Erase Cycle Time | 1.5 seconds typical - enables full reprogramming within sub-second system recovery windows |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles - supports long-term field maintenance and firmware revision management |
| Boot Block Size | 8K words (0000H–1FFFH) - reserves dedicated space for immutable bootloader code |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV1024A-45VL uses a 40-lead Very Small Outline Package (VSOP), measuring 10 mm × 14 mm, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and JEDEC MO-142 CA compliance. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus supporting full 64K-word addressing; A11–A15 ignored during command sequences |
| I/O0–I/O15 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 16-bit parallel interface; I/O7 used for Data Polling, I/O6 for Toggle Bit status indication |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for read/write; inhibits programming if held high |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; high-Z state prevents bus contention during standby or write |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls latching of addresses/data during program/erase commands |
| NC | No Connect | Two pins (pins 8 and 11) are unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.0V–3.6V supply; VCC sense circuitry disables programming if voltage drops below ~1.8V |
| GND | Ground | Two dedicated ground pins (pins 16 and 40) reduce noise coupling and improve signal integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Hardware Boot Block Lockout | Prevents accidental erasure or reprogramming of critical bootloader code after activation via six-command sequence |
| Data Polling & Toggle Bit | Enables real-time detection of program/erase completion without polling timers or external interrupts |
| VCC Sense Protection | Automatically disables write operations if supply voltage falls below safe threshold (~1.8V), preventing bit corruption |
| Noise-Filtered Control Inputs | Rejects spurious pulses <15 ns on CE/WE, eliminating false command triggering in electrically noisy environments |
| Lead-Free VSOP Packaging | RoHS-compliant 40V package with 10×14 mm footprint, optimized for high-density PCB layouts and automated assembly |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF100A-45-4C-NHE | 45 ns access, 1 Mbit (64K × 16), 3.0V–3.6V, but uses different command set and lacks boot block lockout | Requires modified firmware driver for erase/program; no hardware-protected boot region | Select when legacy SST39VF compatibility is required and boot security is managed in software |
| MX29LV102CTXGI-45G | 45 ns access, 1 Mbit (64K × 16), 3.0V–3.6V, includes boot block but with 16K size and different lockout mechanism | Boot block spans 0000H–3FFFH; lockout is software-configurable per sector, not permanent | Select when flexible sector protection and larger boot area are needed, accepting trade-off in permanence |
Compared with SST39VF100A-45-4C-NHE and MX29LV102CTXGI-45G, the AT49LV1024A-45VL uniquely provides a permanently lockable 8K-word boot block validated by I/O0 status read, making it optimal for systems where bootloader immutability is enforced by hardware rather than software policy.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the AT49LV1024A-45VL?
The AT49LV1024A-45VL operates from 3.0V to 3.6V DC. It does not support 2.7V operation (unlike the BV variant). This 3.0V–3.6V range ensures compatibility with modern low-power logic families and eliminates the need for level-shifting circuitry. The device includes VCC sense circuitry that disables programming if supply voltage drops below approximately 1.8V, preventing data corruption during brown-out conditions. AT49LV1024A-45VL is specified for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C).
How does the boot block lockout feature work on the AT49LV1024A-45VL?
The AT49LV1024A-45VL includes an 8K-word boot block (addresses 0000H–1FFFH) that can be permanently protected from erasure or programming using a six-cycle command sequence: load AAh to 555H, 55h to AAAH, 80h to 555H, then AAh/55h/40h to 555H/AAAH/555H. Once enabled, the lockout is irreversible and verified by reading I/O0 = high during Software Product Identification mode. AT49LV1024A-45VL retains full programmability of the main 56K-word memory region even with boot lockout active.
Can the AT49LV1024A-45VL be used as a direct replacement for the AT49BV1024A-45VC?
No, the AT49LV1024A-45VL is not a direct replacement for the AT49BV1024A-45VC due to differing voltage ranges: the BV variant operates from 2.7V to 3.6V, while the LV variant requires 3.0V to 3.6V minimum. Although pinout, timing, and command sets are identical, systems powered below 3.0V will fail to program or read correctly with AT49LV1024A-45VL. AT49LV1024A-45VL is functionally identical to AT49LV1024A-45VC except for the lead-free VSOP packaging.
What methods does the AT49LV1024A-45VL provide to detect completion of program or erase operations?
The AT49LV1024A-45VL offers two hardware-based detection methods: Data Polling (monitoring complemented data on I/O7 during programming or erased state on I/O7 during erase) and Toggle Bit (observing toggling on I/O6 until operation completes). Both methods allow the host system to poll status without fixed delay loops. AT49LV1024A-45VL supports detection at any point during the operation - no minimum wait time is required before initiating polling.
Is the AT49LV1024A-45VL qualified for automotive applications?
No, the AT49LV1024A-45VL is specified only for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and is not AEC-Q100 qualified. Microchip's official documentation states Atmel products "are not suitable for, and shall not be used in, automotive applications." For automotive use, designers must select AEC-Q100 qualified alternatives such as the SST39VF100A-45-4I-NHE or MX29GL128FHI-45G. AT49LV1024A-45VL remains appropriate for industrial, medical, and telecom equipment operating within its rated temperature envelope.
