Product details
Overview
AT27C010-12JC from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM designed for firmware storage in microprocessor systems, featuring 120 ns read access time, 5V ±10% supply operation, and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging. It supports rapid programming at 100 µs/byte and delivers 35 mA active current at 5 MHz with 100 µA max standby current.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C010-12JC datasheet, AT27C010-12JC pinout, AT27C010-12JC application, or AT27C010-12JC equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 120 ns tACC timing, industrial temperature range support (–40°C to +85°C), VPP = 12.0 V programming voltage compliance, and compatibility with CMOS/TTL bus interfaces in legacy embedded boot memory designs.
Technical Context
The AT27C010-12JC implements a standard OTP EPROM architecture with dual-line control (CE/OE) enabling bus contention prevention in shared-memory systems. Its address space spans A0–A16 (17-bit), supporting full 128K-byte random access without wait states at ≤5 MHz bus speeds.
Programming requires VPP = 12.0 ± 0.5 V applied during PGM strobe pulses of 95–105 µs width, while read mode operates solely from 5V supply. Product identification is accessed via A9 high-voltage enable (11.5–12.5 V) and A0 toggling to select manufacturer (0x1E) or device code (0x05) bytes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (128K × 8) - supports full firmware image storage for 8-bit microcontrollers without external paging logic. |
| Read Access Time (tACC) | 120 ns max - enables direct connection to 5 MHz Z80, 8051, or 68K-based systems without wait-state insertion. |
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no auxiliary voltage regulators required for read operation. |
| Active Current (ICC) | 35 mA max at 5 MHz - defines power budget for multi-device memory subsystems in industrial controllers. |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 100 µA max (CMOS CE input) - enables low-power retention in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. |
| Programming Voltage (VPP) | 12.0 ± 0.5 V - requires dedicated high-voltage programming circuitry; not supplied by standard 5V rail. |
| ESD Protection | 2000V HBM - ensures robustness during manual handling and PCB assembly in non-EPA environments. |
Pinout & Package
AT27C010-12JC is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-016 AE compliant, with 1.27 mm pitch and 18.5 mm × 18.3 mm body size. Pin 1 is marked by index notch; seating plane height is 0.220 mm max.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus interface; fully decoded to select any of 128K bytes; TTL/CMOS compatible thresholds. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus outputs; VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –400 µA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 2.1 mA - drives standard logic loads. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device activation; when high, forces outputs to high-impedance state regardless of OE. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; enables data drivers only when CE is also asserted; prevents bus contention in shared-bus systems. |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input for programming; triggers 100 µs internal write cycle when VPP = 12 V is present. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 12.0 ± 0.5 V input; must be applied before/with VCC and removed after VCC; isolated from read-mode operation. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% main supply; powers logic and output drivers; supplies 35 mA max during active read cycles. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device per datasheet layout guidance. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 14 (PLCC) is unconnected internally; must remain floating or tied to GND per board design rules - no electrical function. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/byte typical programming time with auto-verify loop - reduces firmware update cycle time by >5× vs. conventional EPROMs. |
| Integrated Product Identification Code | Manufacturer ID (0x1E) and Device Code (0x05) accessible via A9 high-voltage mode - enables automated programmer recognition and algorithm selection. |
| Two-Line Control Architecture | Dedicated CE and OE inputs - allows independent control of chip selection and output driver enable, eliminating bus contention in multi-peripheral systems. |
| High-Reliability Process | 200 mA latchup immunity and 2000 V HBM ESD rating - ensures field reliability in industrial motor drives and factory automation equipment. |
| JEDEC-Standard Packaging Options | 32J (PLCC), 32P6 (PDIP), 32T (TSOP) footprints - supports drop-in replacement across legacy board designs without layout revision. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C010-120DC | 120 ns tACC, 5V supply, 32-pin PDIP; same 128K × 8 organization but AMD silicon process - slightly higher ICC (40 mA). | Valid for socketed industrial boards using 0.600" DIP footprint; lacks integrated product ID code. | Select when PDIP mechanical fit is mandatory and programming equipment does not require ID byte verification. |
| MX27C1000PC-12 | 120 ns tACC, 5V supply, 32-pin PDIP; Macronix implementation with identical pinout but 150 µA ISB1 (vs. 100 µA). | Drop-in replacement for legacy AM27C010 designs; supports same programming algorithms but no VPP voltage tolerance spec. | Prefer for cost-sensitive volume production where 50 µA standby margin is acceptable and VPP stability is tightly controlled. |
Compared with AM27C010-120DC and MX27C1000PC-12, the AT27C010-12JC offers tighter standby current (100 µA), integrated ID code for automated programming, and broader temperature grade availability - making it optimal for new designs requiring traceability and extended thermal margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AT27C010-12JC?
The AT27C010-12JC is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 10 of the datasheet, where "AT27C010-12JI" denotes the industrial variant and "AT27C010-12JC" shares identical thermal limits as the PLCC-packaged industrial-grade part. The device meets JEDEC JESD22-A108 reliability standards under this range.
Does the AT27C010-12JC require a separate programming voltage during normal read operation?
No, the AT27C010-12JC operates in read mode using only the 5V ±10% VCC supply - VPP is disconnected and irrelevant during standard memory access. VPP = 12.0 ±0.5 V is required exclusively during programming cycles triggered by the PGM signal, as defined in the DC Programming Characteristics table on page 6. Applying VPP during read mode may damage the device.
Can the AT27C010-12JC be used as a direct replacement for the AT27C010-15JC in an existing design?
Yes, the AT27C010-12JC is pin-compatible and functionally identical to the AT27C010-15JC except for guaranteed read access time: 120 ns vs. 150 ns. All other electrical, timing, and packaging specifications match exactly. Systems designed for the slower -15JC will operate reliably with the -12JC, though no performance improvement is guaranteed beyond the tighter tACC spec.
What decoupling capacitance is required for stable operation of the AT27C010-12JC?
The AT27C010-12JC requires a minimum 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to the device pins. For systems with multiple EPROMs, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should also be added near the power entry point, per the "System Considerations" section on page 2. These values prevent transient excursions during CE switching that could violate absolute maximum ratings.
How is the manufacturer and device identification code accessed on the AT27C010-12JC?
The AT27C010-12JC provides two identification bytes via its standard address/data pins: set A9 = 11.5–12.5 V (VH), hold A1–A16 = VIL, then toggle A0 between VIL (to read Manufacturer ID = 0x1E) and VIH (to read Device Code = 0x05). This is detailed in Note 4 on page 3 and the "Atmel's 27C010(L) Integrated Product Identification Code" section on page 8.
