Product details
Overview
AT27BV4096-15VC from Atmel is a 4-Mbit (256K × 16) one-time programmable EPROM optimized for low-voltage battery-powered systems, featuring 150 ns read access time, dual-supply operation (2.7–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V), and JEDEC-standard TSOP-40 packaging. It serves as nonvolatile program storage in portable microprocessor systems requiring unregulated battery voltage tolerance and TTL/LVBO interface compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the AT27BV4096-15VC datasheet, AT27BV4096-15VC pinout, AT27BV4096-15VC application, or AT27BV4096-15VC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 ns tACC timing at 3.6 V, ≤20 µA standby current, 40-pin TSOP package with verified pin mapping, and pin compatibility with AT27C4096 for legacy design migration.
Technical Context
The AT27BV4096-15VC implements a CMOS OTP memory array organized as 256K words × 16 bits, supporting two-line control (CE/OE) for bus contention avoidance. Its dual-voltage architecture enables direct interfacing with both 3.3 V logic and 5 V TTL systems without level shifters.
It uses Atmel's Rapid™ Programming algorithm (100 µs/word typical) with integrated product identification code (001Eh manufacturer ID, 00F4h device ID) for automated programming equipment recognition. 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 ranges.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C4096-15JC | 5 V only (4.5–5.5 V); no low-voltage operation; same 150 ns tACC and 44-pin PLCC package. | Requires regulated 5 V supply; unsuitable for battery-powered systems. | Select when legacy 5 V-only design mandates identical pinout and timing without voltage flexibility. |
| MX29LV400CTT-15G | Flash-based (reprogrammable); 3.0 V operation; 48-pin TSOP; different command set and write protocol. | Supports field updates but requires erase cycles and software control; higher pin count. | Select when firmware update capability is required and board layout accommodates 48-pin footprint and timing margins. |
Compared with AT27C4096-15JC, the AT27BV4096-15VC adds unregulated battery support and lower power, while MX29LV400CTT-15G trades OTP security for reprogrammability at the cost of increased complexity and pin count.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for AT27BV4096-15VC during normal read mode?
The AT27BV4096-15VC supports two distinct supply ranges in read mode: 2.7 V to 3.6 V for low-voltage battery operation, and 4.5 V to 5.5 V (±10% of 5 V) for standard TTL-compatible systems. Operation outside these ranges, including at exactly 4.0 V or 3.7 V, is not guaranteed per datasheet specifications and may result in timing violations or data corruption. The AT27BV4096-15VC does not support intermediate voltages.
Does AT27BV4096-15VC require external decoupling capacitors, and if so, what values?
Yes, the AT27BV4096-15VC requires two external decoupling capacitors: a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, and a second 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VPP and GND. Both must be mounted as close as possible to their respective pins to suppress transient voltage excursions during CE transitions and programming pulses. Failure to install these capacitors risks non-conformance due to supply rail instability, especially in multi-device arrays.
Is AT27BV4096-15VC pin-compatible with AT27C4096, and what does that mean for PCB design?
Yes, the AT27BV4096-15VC is explicitly pin-compatible with JEDEC-standard AT27C4096 in its TSOP-40 package variant. This means identical PCB footprints, trace routing, and signal assignments apply - no layout changes are needed when migrating from AT27C4096-15VC to AT27BV4096-15VC. However, VPP must be isolated from VCC during programming, unlike AT27C4096 where VPP = VCC in read mode, requiring minor schematic review for voltage switching circuitry.
What programming voltage and sequence are required for AT27BV4096-15VC?
The AT27BV4096-15VC requires VCC = 6.5 V ± 0.25 V and VPP = 13.0 V ± 0.25 V during programming, with VCC applied simultaneously with or before VPP and removed simultaneously with or after VPP. Programming uses a 50 µs CE pulse width and Atmel's Rapid™ algorithm, verifying each word up to 10 times if initial programming fails. Standard 5 V programmers cannot be used without hardware modification to generate the required VPP level.
Can AT27BV4096-15VC be used in systems with mixed 3.3 V and 5 V logic families?
Yes, the AT27BV4096-15VC delivers TTL-compatible output levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) when VCC = 3.0 V, enabling direct connection to 5 V TTL inputs without level shifters. At VCC = 2.7 V, it complies with JEDEC LVBO specifications, ensuring interoperability with other low-voltage logic. Input thresholds scale with VCC (VIH ≥ 0.7 × VCC), making it robust across both domains - a key advantage over fixed-threshold alternatives.
