Product details
Overview
AT49LV320-90TI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 32-Mbit (2M × 16 / 4M × 8) single-supply 3.0V Flash memory IC used for nonvolatile code and data storage in embedded systems. It features 85 ns access time, sector erase architecture with 71 independently lockable sectors (63 × 64KB + 8 × 8KB), 15 µs word program time, and suspend/resume capability for concurrent read/program operations during erase.
For engineers reviewing the AT49LV320-90TI datasheet, AT49LV320-90TI pinout, AT49LV320-90TI application, or AT49LV320-90TI equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, real-world use cases, validated alternatives, and supply-chain-ready availability details - all grounded in the official Microchip AT49BV/LV320(T) datasheet (Rev. 1494H).
Technical Context
The AT49LV320-90TI implements a command-based Flash architecture with dual-mode addressing (x8/x16), CE/OE/WE control logic to prevent bus contention, and hardware reset-initiated state recovery. Its internal write state machine handles autonomous program/erase timing without external clocks.
It supports three status detection methods: READY/BUSY pin (open-drain, active-low), Data Polling on I/O7, and Toggle Bit on I/O6 - all configurable via a user-settable status register. Sector lockdown and 128-bit protection register provide hardware-level security for boot code and firmware integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 32 Mbit (2,097,152 × 16-bit or 4,194,304 × 8-bit) |
| Access Time | 90 ns max - guarantees deterministic read latency for real-time firmware fetch |
| Supply Voltage | 2.65–3.3 V (BV variant) - compatible with 3.0V system rails and low-power operation |
| Program Time | 15 µs per word - enables fast field firmware updates without long blocking cycles |
| Erase Time | 200 ms per sector - balances speed and endurance for partial reprogramming |
| Standby Current | 10 µA - suitable for battery-backed or always-on embedded applications |
| Sector Architecture | 71 sectors (63 × 64KB + 8 × 8KB) - allows granular, non-disruptive code/data updates |
Pinout & Package
AT49LV320-90TI is packaged in a 48-pin TSOP Type I (Thin Small Outline Package), pin-compatible with industry-standard JEDEC MO-141AC. The device operates exclusively in x16 mode (I/O0–I/O15 active); BYTE pin is not implemented - unlike AT49LV321 variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A20 | Address Inputs | 21-bit address bus supporting full 2M-word addressing; A-1 not used (x16-only) |
| I/O0–I/O15 | Data I/O (x16) | Bidirectional 16-bit data path; no byte-mode support - simplifies controller interface |
| CE, OE, WE | Chip/Output/Write Enable | Three independent controls prevent bus contention; OE high disables outputs regardless of CE/WE |
| RESET | Hardware Initialization | Asynchronous active-low signal that halts ongoing operations and forces read/standby mode |
| VPP | Write Protection Control | Enables programming/erasing only when ≥1.65 V; inhibits writes if <0.8 V - prevents accidental corruption |
| RDY/BUSY | Status Output | Open-drain active-low signal indicating active program/erase - supports wired-OR multi-device monitoring |
| VCCQ | Output Driver Supply | Separate 2.65–3.3 V rail for I/O drivers - isolates output noise from core logic supply |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Sector Erase with Lockdown | 71 individually lockable sectors enable secure boot code retention while updating application firmware |
| Erase/Program Suspend | Allows reading from or programming any non-erasing sector during active erase - critical for real-time interrupt handling |
| 128-bit Protection Register | Factory-programmed Block A + user-writable/lockable Block B - supports unique device identity and firmware binding |
| Hardware Data Protection | VCC sense, noise filtering (<15 ns), and VPP voltage monitoring prevent spurious writes during power transients |
| Status Detection Flexibility | Configurable I/O7 polling or I/O6 toggle bit - lets designers choose between pin count vs. software polling overhead |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Firmware Storage | Medical Device Boot Code Retention |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar Flash memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SST39VF3201-90-4C-EKE | 48-pin TSOP, 32 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.0V, but uses different command set and lacks RDY/BUSY pin | No hardware suspend/resume; requires software polling only - increases CPU load during erase | Choose when legacy SST39 command compatibility is required and suspend functionality is not needed |
| MX29LV320ETTI-90G | 48-pin TSOP, 32 Mbit, 90 ns, 3.0V, includes RDY/BUSY and suspend - but sector map differs (64 × 64KB) | Uniform 64KB sectors simplify partitioning but lack fine-grained 8KB boot sectors for small bootloader images | Prefer for new designs needing uniform sector sizing and broader distributor availability |
Compared with SST39VF3201-90-4C-EKE and MX29LV320ETTI-90G, the AT49LV320-90TI uniquely combines 8KB boot sectors, hardware suspend/resume, and a dedicated RDY/BUSY pin - making it optimal for real-time embedded systems requiring concurrent access and secure boot integrity.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for AT49LV320-90TI?
The AT49LV320-90TI operates within a single 2.65V to 3.3V supply range (BV variant). This narrow 3.0V-compatible window ensures compatibility with modern low-voltage microcontroller buses while maintaining sufficient noise margin. VPP must be ≥1.65V for write/erase operations, and the device includes built-in VCC sense circuitry that inhibits programming if VCC drops below 1.8V - a key reliability feature for AT49LV320-90TI in unstable power environments.
Does AT49LV320-90TI support byte-mode operation?
No, AT49LV320-90TI does not support byte-mode operation. Unlike the AT49LV321 family, the AT49LV320-90TI is fixed in x16 mode only - I/O0–I/O15 are always active, and the BYTE pin is not implemented. This eliminates mode-selection complexity and ensures deterministic 16-bit data path behavior, making AT49LV320-90TI ideal for systems with native 16-bit data buses such as older ARM7 or SH-3 microcontrollers.
How does sector lockdown work on AT49LV320-90TI?
Sector lockdown on AT49LV320-90TI is enabled per-sector using a six-bus-cycle command sequence. Once activated, a locked sector becomes permanently read-only until the next power cycle or RESET assertion. This protects boot code from accidental overwrite while allowing other sectors to be updated. The AT49LV320-90TI supports 71 independent sectors (63 × 64KB + 8 × 8KB), and lockdown status can be verified via software read at address 00002H - a critical safeguard for AT49LV320-90TI in safety-critical firmware deployments.
What status detection methods does AT49LV320-90TI provide?
AT49LV320-90TI offers three complementary status detection methods: an open-drain RDY/BUSY pin (active-low), Data Polling on I/O7, and Toggle Bit on I/O6. All are configurable via a two-bit status register. RDY/BUSY enables hardware interrupt-driven operation; Data Polling reduces pin count at the cost of software polling; Toggle Bit provides a simple hardware-free alternative. These options give designers flexibility to optimize AT49LV320-90TI integration based on MCU resource constraints and real-time requirements.
Is AT49LV320-90TI pin-compatible with AT49BV320-90TI?
Yes, AT49LV320-90TI is pin-compatible with AT49BV320-90TI - both use identical 48-pin TSOP Type I packaging and share identical pin functions, address/data mapping, and command sets. The primary difference is supply voltage: AT49BV320-90TI operates at 3.0–3.6V, while AT49LV320-90TI operates at 2.65–3.3V. This makes AT49LV320-90TI a direct drop-in replacement in 3.0V systems, offering lower active and standby current - a verified compatibility confirmed in Microchip's AT49BV/LV320(T) datasheet Rev. 1494H.
