Product details
Overview
AT49LV1614A-70TI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 16-Mbit (1M × 16 / 2M × 8) 3.0–3.6 V Flash memory IC with 70 ns access time, sector erase architecture (31 × 64 KB + 8 × 8 KB), dual-plane concurrent read/program capability, and Erase Suspend functionality. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in embedded boot code, firmware update, and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV1614A-70TI datasheet, AT49LV1614A-70TI pinout, AT49LV1614A-70TI application, or AT49LV1614A-70TI equivalent, key selection considerations include byte/word mode support via BYTE pin, VPP-accelerated programming (5 V or 12 V), 128-bit protection register, sector lockdown, and TSOP/CBGA package compatibility for space-constrained designs.
Technical Context
The AT49LV1614A-70TI implements a dual-plane Flash architecture: Plane A contains eight 4K-word and seven 32K-word sectors; Plane B contains twenty-four 32K-word sectors. This enables concurrent read from one plane while programming or erasing the other - eliminating wait states during firmware updates.
It supports hardware-based data protection (VCC sense, noise filtering, CE/OE/WE inhibit), three end-of-operation detection methods (RDY/BUSY open-drain output, Data Polling on I/O7, Toggle Bit on I/O6/I/O2), and six-byte command sequences for chip/sector erase, lockdown, and protection register programming - all executed without external clocks.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16 Mbit (1,048,576 × 16-bit or 2,097,152 × 8-bit) - supports boot code + application storage in single device |
| Access Time | 70 ns - meets real-time read latency requirements for microcontroller boot fetch and firmware execution |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V (LV variant) - compatible with 3.3 V system rails and low-power industrial operation |
| Active Current | 30 mA - enables stable operation under sustained read load without thermal derating |
| Standby Current | 10 µA - supports ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems |
| Sector Erase Time | 300 ms max - allows rapid field firmware patching of individual functional modules |
| Word Program Time | 20 µs - enables high-throughput in-system programming during production or field update |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV1614A-70TI is available in 48-lead TSOP (Type 1) and 48-ball CBGA packages. Pin functions are identical across both packages, with ball/pin mapping validated per official Microchip datasheet Rev. 1411F.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address Inputs | 20-bit address bus supporting full 1M-word addressing; A-1 function on I/O15 in byte mode |
| I/O0–I/O15 | Data I/O (x16) / I/O0–I/O7 + A-1 (x8) | Configurable 16-bit or 8-bit data interface; BYTE pin selects mode - critical for MCU bus width matching |
| CE, OE, WE | Chip Enable, Output Enable, Write Enable | Dual-line control (CE+OE) prevents bus contention; WE latches commands and data - standard microprocessor timing compliant |
| RDY/BUSY | Open-drain status output | Active-low signal indicates internal program/erase progress; supports OR-tying for multi-device monitoring |
| VPP | Accelerated program/erase supply | Accepts 5.0 V ± 0.5 V or 12.0 V ± 0.5 V to reduce tBP/tSEC - optional; unconnected = VCC-powered operation |
| RESET | Hardware initialization input | Forces high-impedance outputs and returns device to read/standby mode - essential for safe power-up sequencing |
| BYTE | Bus width configuration | Logic "1" = x16 mode (I/O0–I/O15 active); Logic "0" = x8 mode (I/O0–I/O7 active, I/O15 = A-1) - determines MCU interface wiring |
| VCCQ | Output driver supply | Independent 1.8–3.3 V output voltage rail - decouples I/O drive strength from core VCC, enabling mixed-voltage system interfacing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-plane concurrent operation | Enables simultaneous read from Plane B while erasing/programming Plane A - eliminates CPU idle time during firmware updates |
| Erase Suspend/Resume | Pauses active sector erase to allow immediate read/program from another sector in same plane - improves system responsiveness during partial reflash |
| Sector Lockdown | Per-sector write-protection activated via six-byte command - preserves immutable boot loader while permitting application partition updates |
| 128-bit Protection Register | Factory-programmed 64-bit Block A + user-programmable/lockable Block B - supports secure device identification and anti-cloning in OEM systems |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, 10 ms power-on delay, noise filtering (<15 ns), and CE/OE/WE inhibit - prevents spurious writes during brown-out or EMI events |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF1601C-70-4C-EKE | 16 Mbit, 70 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; no dual-plane or Erase Suspend; uses standard JEDEC command set | Lacks concurrent read/erase capability and sector suspend - requires full erase before partial update | Select when simpler command protocol and lower cost outweigh need for advanced update flexibility |
| MX29LV160DBTI-70G | 16 Mbit, 70 ns, 3.0–3.6 V; top-boot configuration only; no VPP acceleration or 128-bit protection register | Fixed boot-block layout limits partitioning flexibility; lacks hardware security features for OEM branding | Select for legacy design continuity where boot-block alignment matches existing PCB layout |

FAQ
What voltage levels does the AT49LV1614A-70TI support for VPP-accelerated programming?
The AT49LV1614A-70TI supports VPP-accelerated programming at either 5.0 V ± 0.5 V or 12.0 V ± 0.5 V. When VPP is within 0.3 V of VCC (2.65–3.3 V), the device automatically defaults to VCC-powered operation. The VPP pin may be left unconnected for standard-speed programming using only VCC - no external voltage source required unless faster erase/program times are needed.
How does the BYTE pin affect data bus configuration on the AT49LV1614A-70TI?
The BYTE pin on the AT49LV1614A-70TI determines interface width: logic high configures the device for x16 operation (I/O0–I/O15 active), while logic low enables x8 mode (I/O0–I/O7 active, I/O15 repurposed as LSB address input A-1). This allows direct compatibility with both 16-bit and 8-bit microcontroller buses without external glue logic - critical for flexible board reuse.
Can the AT49LV1614A-70TI perform read operations during an ongoing erase cycle?
Yes - the AT49LV1614A-70TI supports true concurrent read/erase via its dual-plane architecture. A read from Plane B can occur simultaneously with erase or program in Plane A, and vice versa. Additionally, Erase Suspend allows pausing an erase in one sector to read or program any other sector in the same plane - providing maximum system responsiveness during firmware updates.
What is the purpose and structure of the 128-bit protection register in the AT49LV1614A-70TI?
The AT49LV1614A-70TI includes a 128-bit protection register split into two 64-bit blocks: Block A is factory-programmed with a unique identifier and cannot be modified; Block B is user-programmable and optionally lockable. This enables secure device authentication, OEM branding, and tamper-resistant configuration storage - accessed via Product ID Entry command followed by address reads in the protected address space.
How is sector lockdown implemented and released on the AT49LV1614A-70TI?
Sector lockdown on the AT49LV1614A-70TI is enabled per sector using a six-byte command sequence. Once locked, the sector becomes read-only - immune to program or erase commands until reset or power cycle. Lockdown status is verified via software read of address 00002H within the sector (I/O0 = high indicates locked). Unlocking requires only hardware reset or power-down - no special unlock command is needed.
