Product details
Overview
AT27BV040-15VI 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 industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It delivers TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0 V and supports JEDEC-standard PLCC/TSOP/VSOP packages.
For engineers reviewing the AT27BV040-15VI datasheet, AT27BV040-15VI pinout, AT27BV040-15VI application, or AT27BV040-15VI equivalent, key selection criteria include unregulated battery voltage support, rapid 100 µs/byte programming, <1 µA typical standby current at 3V, and compatibility with legacy AT27C040 systems without hardware redesign.
Technical Context
The AT27BV040-15VI 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 5V hosts while maintaining JEDEC LVTTL/LVBO compliance.
It uses Atmel's Rapid™ Programming Algorithm requiring VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V during programming, with integrated product identification code (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x0B) for automated programmer recognition. Standby current is specified at ≤20 µA (CMOS mode) and ≤100 µA (TTL mode) under industrial conditions.

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 2.7–3.6 V operation; same 150 ns speed and PLCC package | Lacks battery-voltage support; unsuitable for unregulated power rails | Select when system uses stable 5V supply and legacy compatibility is primary concern |
| MX29LV400CBTI-70G | Flash-based (reprogrammable), 70 ns access, 3.0 V core, but different command set and write endurance | Enables field updates; requires flash-specific driver and erase-cycle management | Select when firmware revision capability is required over one-time programmability |
Compared with AT27C040-15JC, the AT27BV040-15VI adds true battery-voltage operation and lower standby power, while MX29LV400CBTI-70G trades OTP simplicity for reprogrammability at faster speed - choice depends on whether field updates or ultra-low-power static storage dominates the design priority.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the AT27BV040-15VI support during normal read operation?
The AT27BV040-15VI supports two distinct read voltage ranges: 2.7 V to 3.6 V for unregulated battery applications and 4.5 V to 5.5 V for standard 5 V systems. Both ranges deliver guaranteed 150 ns access time and full TTL/LVBO compatibility. The AT27BV040-15VI does not operate at intermediate voltages like 4.0 V or 3.8 V - only the two specified bands are validated.
Is the AT27BV040-15VI pin-compatible with the AT27C040 series?
Yes, the AT27BV040-15VI is fully pin-compatible and functionally equivalent to the AT27C040 in all JEDEC-standard packages (32J PLCC, 32T TSOP, 32V VSOP). Its pinout, address/data mapping, and CE/OE control logic match exactly, enabling direct socket replacement in existing designs without PCB modification.
What programming voltage and equipment does the AT27BV040-15VI require?
The AT27BV040-15VI requires VCC = 6.5 V ± 0.25 V and VPP = 13.0 V ± 0.25 V during programming, with a 100 µs CE pulse width per byte. It uses the same programming algorithms and equipment as the AT27C040, including industry-standard EPROM programmers that recognize its integrated ID code (0x1E/0x0B).
Does the AT27BV040-15VI support industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the AT27BV040-15VI is rated for −40°C to +85°C operation, as confirmed by its ordering suffix "I" and datasheet specifications. This includes full performance compliance for tACC = 150 ns, standby current ≤20 µA, and ESD/latchup immunity across the full range.
How does the AT27BV040-15VI achieve TTL-level outputs at 3.0 V supply?
The AT27BV040-15VI uses Atmel's proprietary low-voltage CMOS process to guarantee VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 2.0 mA and VCC = 3.0 V, meeting JEDEC LVTTL thresholds. This eliminates external level shifters when interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers or FPGAs, and is explicitly verified in the DC characteristics table.
