Product details
Overview
AT27BV040-15TC 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 (2.7–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V), and JEDEC-standard 32-lead TSOP packaging. It delivers TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0 V and supports rapid programming at 100 µs/byte.
For engineers reviewing the AT27BV040-15TC datasheet, AT27BV040-15TC pinout, AT27BV040-15TC application, or AT27BV040-15TC equivalent, key selection criteria include unregulated battery voltage support (2.7–3.6 V), 150 ns read timing, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and compatibility with standard AT27C040 programming infrastructure.
Technical Context
The AT27BV040-15TC 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 seamless operation across 3V and 5V host environments without level-shifting circuitry.
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 industry-standard programmers. Programming requires VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V, while read/standby modes operate within 2.7–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the AT27BV040-15TC support during normal read operation?
The AT27BV040-15TC supports two distinct read voltage ranges: 2.7 V to 3.6 V for unregulated battery operation and 4.5 V to 5.5 V for standard 5 V systems. It does not operate at intermediate voltages like 4.0 V. Both ranges deliver guaranteed 150 ns access time and full TTL/LVBO compatibility, making the AT27BV040-15TC ideal for dual-voltage host platforms such as PCMCIA cards or modular industrial I/O modules.
Is the AT27BV040-15TC pin-compatible with the AT27C040 series?
Yes - the AT27BV040-15TC is JEDEC-standard pinout compatible with the AT27C040 family, including identical pin assignments for A0–A18, O0–O7, CE, OE, VCC, VPP, and GND. This allows direct PCB-level substitution in existing AT27C040-15JC or AT27C040-15PC designs, provided the 3.3 V supply and decoupling requirements are met. The AT27BV040-15TC retains the same 32-lead TSOP footprint as the AT27C040-15TC variant.
What programming voltage and equipment are required for the AT27BV040-15TC?
The AT27BV040-15TC requires VCC = 6.5 V ± 0.25 V and VPP = 13.0 V ± 0.25 V during programming, with strict sequencing: VCC must be applied simultaneously with or before VPP and removed simultaneously with or after VPP. Standard AT27C040-compatible programmers (e.g., BP Microsystems, Xeltek, Data I/O) recognize its Integrated Product ID (0x1E/0x0B) and apply the correct Rapid™ algorithm automatically. No special hardware is needed beyond compliant 5V/12V programmer supplies.
Does the AT27BV040-15TC support industrial temperature operation?
Yes - the AT27BV040-15TC is rated for industrial temperature range operation from −40°C to +85°C, as confirmed by the "I" suffix in its ordering code (e.g., AT27BV040-15TI). This rating applies across both voltage ranges and all functional modes (read, standby, programming). The device undergoes full characterization at temperature extremes, including 150 ns access time validation and 20 µA max standby current compliance at −40°C and +85°C.
How does the AT27BV040-15TC achieve TTL-level outputs while operating at 3.0 V?
The AT27BV040-15TC uses proprietary CMOS output driver design that produces VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = −400 µA and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 2.1 mA when VCC = 3.0 V - meeting TTL logic thresholds despite the sub-5V supply. This eliminates external level shifters in mixed-voltage systems. The specification is verified across process corners and temperature, and the AT27BV040-15TC maintains this compatibility even at minimum VCC = 2.7 V, where VOH remains ≥ VCC − 0.2 V per datasheet.
