AT49BV040B

1. Description

The AT49BV040B is a 2.7V to 5.5V in-system reprogrammable Flash Memory. Its

4 megabits of memory is organized as 524,288 words by 8 bits. Manufactured with

Atmel’s advanced nonvolatile CMOS technology, the device offers an access time of

70 ns (VCC = 2.7V to 3.6V) and an access time of 55 ns (VCC = 4.5V to 5.5V). The

power dissipation over the industrial temperature range with VCC = 2.7V to 3.6V is 72

mW and is 110 mW with VCC = 4.5V to 5.5V.

When the device is deselected, the CMOS standby current is less than 30 µA. To

allow for simple in-system reprogrammability, the AT49BV040B does not require high

input voltages for programming. Reading data out of the device is similar to reading

from an EPROM; it has standard CE, OE, and WE inputs to avoid bus contention.

Reprogramming the AT49BV040B is performed by erasing a sector of data and then

programming on a byte by byte basis. The byte programming time is a fast 10 µs. The

end of a program or erase cycle can be optionally detected by the DATA polling or

toggle bit 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 100,000 cycles.

The device is erased by executing a chip erase or a sector erase command sequence;

the device internally controls the erase operations. The memory array of the

AT49BV040B is organized into two 8K byte parameter sectors, eight main memory

sectors, and one boot sector.

The device has the capability to protect the data in the boot sector; this feature is

enabled by a command sequence. The 16K-byte boot sector includes a reprogram-

ming lock out feature to provide data integrity. The boot sector is designed to contain

user secure code, and when the feature is enabled, the boot sector is permanently

protected from being reprogrammed.
