Product details
Overview
AT27BV040-12JU from Atmel is a 4-Mbit (512K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM with 120 ns read access time, dual-voltage operation (2.7–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V), and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It features CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O, 20 µA max standby current at 3.6 V, and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging - ideal for battery-powered portable systems requiring low-power, unregulated supply compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the AT27BV040-12JU datasheet, AT27BV040-12JU pinout, AT27BV040-12JU application, or AT27BV040-12JU equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated package mapping, confirmed operating modes (Read, Standby, Rapid Program), real-world timing behavior (tACC = 120 ns, tOE = 50 ns), and precise pin-level functional roles per JEDEC-compliant PLCC layout.
Technical Context
The AT27BV040-12JU implements a two-line control architecture (CE and OE) enabling bus contention prevention in shared-data-bus systems. Its dual-supply design supports both unregulated battery operation (2.7–3.6 V) and standard 5 V ±10% systems without level-shifting circuitry.
It uses rapid programming with 100 µs/byte CE pulses at VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V, and includes integrated product identification (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x0B) readable via A9 high-voltage mode - ensuring compatibility with industry-standard programmers calibrated for AT27C040.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C040-12JC | 5 V-only operation (4.5–5.5 V); no 3 V support; identical pinout and programming algorithm | Requires stable 5 V rail; unsuitable for battery-backed or dual-voltage systems | Select when legacy 5 V infrastructure is fixed and power efficiency is secondary |
| MN65E4000P | Same 4 Mbit density but EEPROM-based; supports byte-level rewrites; 5 V only; slower 200 ns access | Enables field firmware updates but increases cost and complexity; higher active current | Select only if rewrite capability is mandatory and 80 ns speed penalty is acceptable |
Compared with AT27C040-12JC, the AT27BV040-12JU adds critical 3 V operation and lower standby power, while MN65E4000P trades OTP simplicity and speed for rewrite flexibility - making AT27BV040-12JU optimal for cost-sensitive, battery-aware, immutable-code applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for the AT27BV040-12JU?
The AT27BV040-12JU has a maximum read access time (tACC) of 120 ns under industrial temperature conditions (−40°C to +85°C) and VCC = 2.7–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V. This value is guaranteed across the full operating voltage and temperature range and applies to both CE- and OE-controlled read cycles, enabling deterministic timing in real-time embedded systems.
Does the AT27BV040-12JU support true 3 V operation without level shifters?
Yes, the AT27BV040-12JU fully supports 2.7–3.6 V operation with TTL-compatible outputs - at VCC = 3.0 V, its VOH exceeds 2.4 V and VOL stays below 0.4 V under 2.0 mA load, allowing direct interfacing with standard 5 V TTL logic. No external level shifters are needed in mixed-voltage designs.
Can the AT27BV040-12JU be programmed using standard AT27C040 programmers?
Yes, the AT27BV040-12JU uses the identical Rapid Programming Algorithm and Integrated Product Identification Code (0x1E/0x0B) as the AT27C040, and is explicitly documented as programming-compatible with the same equipment. The only hardware requirement is supplying VPP = 13.0 V during programming - all timing, voltage levels, and command sequences match.
What decoupling capacitance is required for stable operation of the AT27BV040-12JU?
The AT27BV040-12JU requires a minimum 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to the device pins. For systems with multiple EPROMs, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should also be added near the power entry point to suppress supply ripple during CE transitions.
Is the AT27BV040-12JU RoHS compliant and what package type does it use?
Yes, the AT27BV040-12JU is RoHS compliant (Pb/Halide-free) and shipped in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package (JEDEC MS-016, Variation AE). The "U" suffix in the ordering code explicitly denotes green packaging, and the device meets all requirements of Directive 2011/65/EU.
