1
AT49BV/LV002N(T) pin 1 for the DIP and PLCC packages
and pin 9 for the TSOP package are don’t connect pins.
To allow for simple in-system reprogrammability, the
AT49BV/LV002(N)(T) does not require high input voltages
for programming. Five-volt-only commands determine the
read and programming operation of the device. Reading
data out of the device is similar to reading from an EPROM;
it has standard CE, OE, and WE inputs to avoid bus con-
tention. Reprogramming the AT49BV/LV002(N)(T) is per-
formed by erasing a block of data and then programming
on a byte by byte basis. The byte programming time is a
fast 50
µs.
The end of a program cycle can be optionally
detected by the DATA polling feature. Once the end of a
byte program cycle has been detected, a new access for a
read or program can begin. The typical number of program
and erase cycles is in excess of 10,000 cycles.
The device is erased by executing the erase command
sequence; the device internally controls the erase opera-
tions. There are two 8K byte parameter block sections and
two main memory blocks.
The device has the capability to protect the data in the boot
block; this feature is enabled by a command sequence.
The 16K-byte boot block section includes a reprogramming
lock out feature to provide data integrity. The boot sector is
designed to contain user secure code, and when the fea-
ture is enabled, the boot sector is protected from being
reprogrammed.
In the AT49BV/LV002N(T), once the boot block program-
ming lockout feature is enabled, the contents of the boot
block are permanent and cannot be changed. In the
AT49BV/LV002(T), once the boot block programming lock-
out feature is enabled, the contents of the boot block can-
not be changed with input voltage levels of 5.5 volts or less.

AT49BV/LV002(N)(T)
Device Operation
READ:
The AT49BV/LV002(N)(T) is accessed like an
EPROM. When CE and OE are low and WE is high, the
data stored at the memory location determined by the
address pins is asserted on the outputs. The outputs are
put in the high impedance state whenever CE or OE is
high. This dual-line control gives designers flexibility in pre-
venting bus contention.
COMMAND SEQUENCES:
When the device is first pow-
ered on it will be reset to the read or standby mode
depending upon the state of the control line inputs. In order
to perform other device functions, a series of command
sequences are entered into the device. The command
sequences are shown in the Command Definitions table.
The command sequences are written by applying a low
pulse on the WE or CE input with CE or WE low (respec-
tively) and OE high. The address is latched on the falling
edge of CE or WE, whichever occurs last. The data is
latched by the first rising edge of CE or WE. Standard
microprocessor write timings are used. The address loca-
tions used in the command sequences are not affected by
entering the command sequences.
RESET:
A RESET input pin is provided to ease some sys-
tem applications. When RESET is at a logic high level, the
device is in its standard operating mode. A low level on the
RESET input halts the present device operation and puts
the outputs of the device in a high impedance state. If the
RESET pin makes a high to low transition during a program
or erase operation, the operation may not be sucessfully
completed and the operation will have to be repeated after
a high level is applied to the RESET pin. When a high level
is reasserted on the RESET pin, the device returns to the
read or standby mode, depending upon the state of the
control inputs. By applying a 12V
±
0.5V input signal to the
RESET pin, the boot block array can be reprogrammed
even if the boot block lockout feature has been enabled
(see Boot Block Programming Lockout Override section).
The RESET feature is not available on the
AT49BV/LV002N(T).
ERASURE:
Before a byte can be reprogrammed, the main
memory block or parameter block which contains the byte
must be erased. The erased state of the memory bits is a
logical “1”. The entire device can be erased at one time by
using a 6-byte software code. The software chip erase
code consists of 6-byte load commands to specific address
locations with a specific data pattern (please refer to the
Chip Erase Cycle Waveforms).
After the software chip erase has been initiated, the device
will internally time the erase operation so that no external
clocks are required. The maximum time needed to erase
the whole chip is t
EC
. If the boot block lockout feature has
been enabled, the data in the boot sector will not be
erased.
CHIP ERASE:
If the boot block lockout has been enabled,
the Chip Erase function will erase Parameter Block 1,
Parameter Block 2, Main Memory Block 1, and Main Mem-
ory Block 2 but not the boot block. If the Boot Block Lockout
has not been enabled, the Chip Erase function will erase
the entire chip. After the full chip erase the device will
return back to read mode. Any command during chip erase
will be ignored.
SECTOR ERASE:
As an alternative to a full chip erase, the
device is organized into sectors that can be individually
erased. There are two 8K-byte parameter block sections
and two main memory blocks. The 8K-byte parameter
block sections can be independently erased and repro-
grammed. The two main memory sections are designed to
be used as alternative memory sectors. That is, whenever
one of the blocks has been erased and reprogrammed, the
other block should be erased and reprogrammed before
the first block is again erased. The Sector Erase command
is a six bus cycle operation. The sector address is latched
on the falling WE edge of the sixth cycle while the 30H data
input command is latched at the rising edge of WE. The
sector erase starts after the rising edge of WE of the sixth
cycle. The erase operation is internally controlled; it will
automatically time to completion.
BYTE PROGRAMMING:
Once the memory array is
erased, the device is programmed (to a logical “0”) on a
byte-by-byte basis. Please note that a data “0” cannot be
programmed back to a “1”; only erase operations can con-
vert “0”s to “1”s. Programming is accomplished via the
internal device command register and is a 4 bus cycle
operation (please refer to the Command Definitions table).
The device will automatically generate the required internal
program pulses.
The program cycle has addresses latched on the falling
edge of WE or CE, whichever occurs last, and the data
latched on the rising edge of WE or CE, whichever occurs
first. Programming is completed after the specified t
BP
cycle
time. The DATA polling feature may also be used to indi-
cate the end of a program cycle.
BOOT BLOCK PROGRAMMING LOCKOUT:
The device
has one designated block that has a programming lockout
feature. This feature prevents programming of data in the
designated block once the feature has been enabled. The
size of the block is 16K bytes. This block, referred to as the
boot block, can contain secure code that is used to bring up
the system. Enabling the lockout feature will allow the boot
code to stay in the device while data in the rest of the
device is updated. This feature does not have to be acti-
vated; the boot block’s usage as a write protected region is
optional to the user. The address range of the boot block is
00000 to 03FFF for the AT49BV/LV002(N) while the
3
address range of the boot block is 3C000 to 3FFFF for the
AT49BV/LV002(N)T.
Once the feature is enabled, the data in the boot block can
no longer be erased or programmed with input voltage of
5.5V or less. Data in the main memory block can still be
changed through the regular programming method. To acti-
vate the lockout feature, a series of six program commands
to specific addresses with specific data must be performed.
Please refer to the Command Definitions table.
BOOT BLOCK LOCKOUT DETECTION:
A software
method is available to determine if programming of the boot
block section is locked out. When the device is in the soft-
ware product identification mode (see Software Product
Identification Entry and Exit sections) a read from address
location 00002H will show if programming the boot block is
locked out for the AT49BV/LV002(N), and a read from
address location 3C002H will show if programming the
bootblock is locked out for AT49BV/LV002(N)T. If the data
on I/O0 is low, the boot block can be programmed; if the
data on I/O0 is high, the program lockout feature has been
activated and the block cannot be programmed. The soft-
ware product identification code should be used to return to
standard operation.
BOOT BLOCK PROGRAMMING LOCKOUT OVERRIDE:
The user can override the boot block programming lockout
by taking the RESET pin to 12 volts during the entire chip
erase, sector erase or byte programming operation. When
the RESET pin is brought back to TTL levels the boot block
programming lockout feature is again active. This feature is
not available on the AT49BV/LV002N(T).
PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION:
The product identification
mode identifies the device and manufacturer as Atmel. It
may be accessed by hardware or software operation. The
hardware operation mode can be used by an external pro-
grammer to identify the correct programming algorithm for
the Atmel product.
For details, see Operating Modes (for hardware operation)
or Software Product Identification. The manufacturer and
device code is the same for both modes.
DATA POLLING:
The AT49BV/LV002(N)(T) features
DATA polling to indicate the end of a program cycle. During
a program cycle an attempted read of the last byte loaded
will result in the complement of the loaded data on I/O7.
Once the program cycle has been completed, true data is
valid on all outputs and the next cycle may begin. DATA
polling may begin at any time during the program cycle.
TOGGLE BIT:
In addition to DATA polling the
AT49BV/LV002(N)(T) provides another method for deter-
mining the end of a program or erase cycle. During a pro-
gram or erase operation, successive attempts to read data
from the device will result in I/O6 toggling between one and
zero. Once the program cycle has completed, I/O6 will stop
toggling and valid data will be read. Examining the toggle
bit may begin at any time during a program cycle.
HARDWARE DATA PROTECTION:
Hardware features
protect against inadvertent programs to the
AT49BV/LV002(N)(T) in the following ways: (a) V
CC
sense:
if V
CC
is below 1.8V (typical), the program function is inhib-
ited. (b) Program inhibit: holding any one of OE low, CE
high or WE high inhibits program cycles. (c) Noise filter:
pulses of less than 15 ns (typical) on the WE or CE inputs
will not initiate a program cycle.
