Product details
Overview
AT27BV1024-90VC from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) one-time programmable EPROM with 90 ns read access time, dual-voltage operation (2.7–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V), and JEDEC-standard 40-pin VSOP package. It serves as nonvolatile program storage in battery-powered 16/32-bit microprocessor systems, delivering TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0 V and LVBO compliance at 2.7 V.
For engineers reviewing the AT27BV1024-90VC datasheet, AT27BV1024-90VC pinout, AT27BV1024-90VC application, or AT27BV1024-90VC equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, real-world use cases in portable embedded systems, and two confirmed alternative OTP EPROMs with documented functional and packaging differences.
Technical Context
The AT27BV1024-90VC implements a CMOS-based OTP memory array with two-line control (CE/OE), enabling bus contention avoidance in shared-data-bus architectures. Its Rapid™ programming algorithm uses 100 µs/word pulses at VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V, with built-in verification loops per address.
It supports product identification via A9 high-voltage (12.0 V ± 0.5 V) and A0 toggling to select manufacturer ID (001Eh) or device code (00F1h). Input/output levels are JEDEC-compliant for both LVTTL and LVBO interfaces, and it features integrated 2,000 V ESD protection and 200 mA latchup immunity.
Key Specifications

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus interface - selects one of 64K words; all inputs CMOS/TTL compatible |
| O0–O15 | Data Outputs | 16-bit bidirectional data path - drives TTL loads at 3.0 V; high-impedance when OE or CE inactive |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select - enables memory access only when low; controls standby mode entry |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate - allows output float without disabling chip; prevents bus contention |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low programming trigger - initiates 100 µs pulse write cycle under VPP = 13.0 V |
| VCC | Power Supply | Main supply pin - accepts 2.7–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V; requires 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | High-voltage input - 13.0 V ± 0.25 V during programming; must ramp with VCC |
| GND (21, 40) | Ground | Return path for VCC and VPP - both pins must be connected to system ground plane |
| NC (pin 8) | No Connect | Internally unconnected - must remain floating; no pull-up/down required |

Applications
| Handheld Medical Instrumentation | Industrial PLC Firmware Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Battery-powered glucose meters and portable ECG monitors requiring tamper-resistant, field-programmable firmware storage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile program memory holding boot code and calibration tables; accessed at ≤10 MHz during power-up and diagnostics. Use Value: 20 µA standby current extends single-cell CR2032 battery life beyond 5 years; 90 ns access enables real-time sensor data processing. |
Use Scenario: Fixed-function logic controllers in factory automation where firmware must survive vibration, temperature cycling, and long-term storage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OTP storage for ladder logic interpreter and I/O configuration; read-only during runtime with infrequent reprogramming. Use Value: 2,000 V ESD protection and -40°C to +85°C rating ensure reliability in electrically noisy plant-floor environments. |
| Legacy Embedded System Upgrade | Modular Communication Card |
Use Scenario: Retrofitting 5V industrial boards with low-power capability while retaining PCB layout and firmware binaries. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Pin-compatible replacement for AT27C1024; operates at 3.3 V with identical timing and address mapping. Use Value: Eliminates need for level shifters or regulator redesign; same programming equipment and algorithms reduce qualification effort. |
Use Scenario: Hot-pluggable communication modules (e.g., RS-485/CAN add-on cards) requiring secure, unalterable boot code. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Boot ROM storing initialization routines and hardware abstraction layer; accessed before FPGA or MCU configuration. Use Value: Integrated product ID prevents firmware mismatch across module variants; VSOP package saves board space in compact card-edge designs. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C1024-90JC | 5V-only operation (4.5–5.5 V); PLCC-44 package; no low-voltage mode | Requires regulated 5V supply; not suitable for battery systems below 4.5 V | Select when legacy 5V infrastructure exists and power efficiency is secondary |
| MX27C1024PC-12 | 120 ns access time; 5V-only; DIP-40 package; no Rapid™ programming | Slower read performance; incompatible with rapid programming workflows; through-hole mounting only | Select for cost-sensitive, low-volume prototyping where speed and surface-mount are not critical |
Compared with AT27C1024-90JC and MX27C1024PC-12, the AT27BV1024-90VC uniquely supports unregulated battery operation down to 2.7 V while maintaining 90 ns access and rapid programming - making it the only choice for portable, low-power, high-reliability OTP storage where voltage headroom and programming throughput matter.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for AT27BV1024-90VC during normal read operation?
The AT27BV1024-90VC supports two distinct read supply ranges: 2.7 V to 3.6 V for low-voltage battery operation and 4.5 V to 5.5 V for standard 5 V systems. Operation outside these ranges - including 3.7–4.4 V - is not specified and may result in unreliable read behavior or increased standby current. The AT27BV1024-90VC does not support intermediate voltages.
Can AT27BV1024-90VC be programmed using standard EPROM programmers?
Yes, the AT27BV1024-90VC is fully programming-compatible with industry-standard EPROM programmers that support the AT27C1024, provided they deliver VPP = 13.0 V ± 0.25 V and VCC = 6.5 V ± 0.25 V during programming. Its integrated product ID (001Eh/00F1h) ensures automatic algorithm selection. The AT27BV1024-90VC uses the same programming sequence and timing as the AT27C1024.
Does AT27BV1024-90VC require external decoupling capacitors?
Yes, the AT27BV1024-90VC requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to pins 20 and 21. For systems with multiple AT27BV1024-90VC devices, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should also be added near the power entry point. These capacitors suppress transient voltage excursions during CE transitions and ensure stable read operation.
Is AT27BV1024-90VC pin-compatible with AT27C1024 in the same VSOP package?
No - while the AT27BV1024-90VC is pin-compatible with the AT27C1024 in function and signal assignment, the AT27C1024 was not offered in VSOP (40V) packaging. The AT27C1024-90JC uses PLCC-44 (44J), whereas the AT27BV1024-90VC uses VSOP-40 (40V). Pin compatibility applies only to signal mapping, not physical package interchangeability.
What is the purpose of the PGM pin on AT27BV1024-90VC?
The PGM pin on the AT27BV1024-90VC is an active-low programming strobe that initiates the 100 µs word programming pulse when driven low under valid VPP and VCC conditions. It is not used during read operations. The AT27BV1024-90VC relies on precise timing of PGM relative to address and data setup/hold windows defined in its AC programming characteristics table.
