Description
The AT49F004(T) and AT49F4096A(T) are 5-volt, 4-megabit Flash Memories orga-
nized as 524,288 words of 8 bits each or 256K words of 16 bits each. Manufactured
with Atmel’s advanced nonvolatile CMOS technology, the devices offer access times
to 55 ns with power dissipation of just 275 mW. When deselected, the CMOS standby
current is less than 300 µA.

Preliminary
The device contains a user-enabled “boot block” protection feature. Two versions of
the feature are available: the AT49F004/4096A locates the boot block at lowest order
addresses (“bottom boot”); the AT49F004T/4096AT locates it at highest order
addresses (“top boot”).
To allow for simple in-system reprogrammability, the AT49F004(T)/4096A(T) 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 con-
tention. Reprogramming the AT49F004(T)/4096A(T) is performed by first erasing a
