Product details
Overview
AT27BV040-15JC from Atmel is a 4-Mbit (512K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM optimized for low-voltage battery-powered systems, featuring 150 ns read access time, dual-voltage operation (2.7–3.6V or 4.5–5.5V), and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging. It delivers TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0V and supports rapid programming at 100 µs/byte.
For engineers reviewing the AT27BV040-15JC datasheet, AT27BV040-15JC pinout, AT27BV040-15JC application, or AT27BV040-15JC equivalent, key selection criteria include unregulated battery voltage support (2.7–3.6V), industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 20 µA max standby current, JEDEC-compatibility with AT27C040, and PLCC package mechanical compatibility.
Technical Context
The AT27BV040-15JC implements a CMOS OTP memory architecture with two-line control (CE/OE), enabling bus contention avoidance in shared-data-bus systems. Its dual-supply design allows direct interface with both 3V logic and legacy 5V hosts without level-shifting.
It uses Atmel's Rapid™ Programming Algorithm with 100 µs CE pulses and integrated product identification (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x0B), ensuring compatibility with standard AT27C040 programmers. Programming requires VCC = 6.5V and VPP = 13.0V, with strict sequencing (VCC applied before/with VPP).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4,194,304-bit (512K × 8) OTP EPROM - fixed, non-erasable storage for firmware boot code or configuration data. |
| Read Access Time | 150 ns max at VCC = 2.7–3.6V or 4.5–5.5V - meets timing requirements for 6.7 MHz system clocks in read-intensive embedded controllers. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7–3.6V (unregulated battery) or 4.5–5.5V (standard 5V) - eliminates need for external voltage regulation in portable designs. |
| Standby Current | 20 µA max (CMOS mode, VCC = 3.6V) - extends battery life in always-on or sleep-mode applications like handheld instruments. |
| Active Power Dissipation | 36 mW max at 5 MHz and VCC = 3.6V - enables thermal management in dense PCB layouts without forced cooling. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pin-compatible OTP EPROM delivering identical timing (150 ns tACC) and functional behavior under both 5V and 3.3V rails. Use Value: JEDEC-standard PLCC package and identical programming protocol eliminate PCB redesign and requalification effort. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C040-15JC | Requires 5V ±10% only; no 2.7–3.6V operation; same 150 ns access, PLCC package, and pinout. | Restricted to fixed 5V systems; lacks battery-voltage flexibility and ultra-low standby current. | Select when legacy 5V infrastructure prohibits voltage scaling and battery operation is unnecessary. |
| MX29LV400CBTI-15G | Flash-based (reprogrammable), 3.0V core, 150 ns access, 48-pin TSOP; different pinout and command set. | Supports field firmware updates; requires software-controlled erase/write sequences and additional voltage margining. | Select when reprogrammability is mandatory and board layout allows TSOP footprint and command protocol integration. |
Compared with AT27C040-15JC, the AT27BV040-15JC adds unregulated battery support and cuts standby current by >95%, while MX29LV400CBTI-15G trades OTP simplicity for reprogrammability at the cost of higher complexity and different packaging.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the AT27BV040-15JC support during normal read operation?
The AT27BV040-15JC supports two distinct read voltage ranges: 2.7V to 3.6V for unregulated battery operation and 4.5V to 5.5V for standard 5V systems. It does not operate reliably outside these ranges during read mode. The AT27BV040-15JC maintains full 150 ns access time and TTL-compatible outputs across both ranges, enabling seamless integration into dual-rail platforms.
Is the AT27BV040-15JC pin-compatible with the AT27C040-15JC?
Yes, the AT27BV040-15JC is pin-compatible with the AT27C040-15JC in all JEDEC-standard packages (PLCC, TSOP, VSOP), including identical pin functions, numbering, and physical dimensions. The AT27BV040-15JC retains the same 32-pin PLCC footprint and signal mapping, allowing direct PCB substitution where battery-voltage operation or lower standby current is needed.
What programming voltage and conditions are required for the AT27BV040-15JC?
The AT27BV040-15JC requires VCC = 6.5V ± 0.25V and VPP = 13.0V ± 0.25V during programming, with VCC applied simultaneously with or before VPP. A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between VPP and GND. Programming uses 100 µs CE pulses and the Rapid™ algorithm; the AT27BV040-15JC is programmed identically to AT27C040 using standard EPROM programmers.
Does the AT27BV040-15JC support industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the AT27BV040-15JC is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C, as confirmed by its ordering code suffix "I" (e.g., AT27BV040-15JI). This qualification applies to both read and standby modes under specified voltage ranges and ensures reliability in demanding environments such as factory automation and automotive under-hood modules.
How does the standby current of the AT27BV040-15JC compare to standard 5V EPROMs?
The AT27BV040-15JC achieves ≤20 µA maximum standby current at VCC = 3.6V (typically <1 µA), which is over five times lower than typical 5V EPROMs drawing 100–200 µA in standby. This ultra-low quiescent draw directly extends battery runtime in portable devices - a key advantage embedded in the AT27BV040-15JC's low-power CMOS process and optimized control logic.
