Product details
Overview
AT27C010-12TC from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM with 45 ns read access time, 5V ±10% supply operation, and JEDEC-standard 32-lead TSOP packaging. It delivers high-speed firmware storage for microprocessor systems without wait states and supports commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C).
For engineers reviewing the AT27C010-12TC datasheet, AT27C010-12TC pinout, AT27C010-12TC application, or AT27C010-12TC equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 45 ns tACC timing, VPP = 12.0 V programming voltage, CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O, 100 µA max standby current, and Rapid™ 100 µs/byte programming algorithm compliance.
Technical Context
The AT27C010-12TC implements a parallel-addressed OTP EPROM architecture with dual-line control (CE and OE) enabling bus contention prevention in shared-data-bus systems. Its address space spans A0–A16 (17-bit), supporting full 128K-byte random access with output drivers compliant to both CMOS and TTL logic thresholds.
Programming requires VPP = 12.0 ± 0.5 V applied during PGM strobes while VCC remains at 6.5 V; verification uses standard read mode with VPP = 5 V. The integrated Product Identification Code (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x05) is accessed via A9 = 12 V and A0 toggling, enabling automated programmer recognition.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum allowed VPP voltage for programming the AT27C010-12TC?
The AT27C010-12TC requires VPP = 12.0 ± 0.5 V during programming, with absolute maximum rating of +14.0 V on A9 and VPP pins. Exceeding 12.5 V risks oxide damage and irreversible programming failure; always verify VPP regulation accuracy and transient suppression using a 0.1 µF capacitor between VPP and GND.
Does the AT27C010-12TC support read operations while VPP is connected to 5 V?
Yes - the AT27C010-12TC operates in standard read mode with VPP tied to VCC (5 V). VPP must be raised to 12 V only during programming; maintaining VPP = 5 V during reads ensures correct logic levels and prevents unintended program mode entry. The device ignores PGM pulses unless VPP = 12 V is present.
Can the AT27C010-12TC be used in place of the AT27C010L-12TC?
No - the AT27C010-12TC draws up to 35 mA active current, whereas the AT27C010L-12TC draws only 25 mA. Substituting them requires verifying power supply headroom and thermal design margins; they share identical timing, pinout, and programming behavior but differ in ICC specification and standby current (100 µA vs. 10 µA typical).
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the AT27C010-12TC TSOP package?
Pin 14 in the AT27C010-12TC TSOP top-view layout is designated NC (No Connect) and is not bonded internally. It must remain unconnected or grounded per PCB layout guidelines - floating NC pins can act as antennas for noise coupling, so grounding adjacent to GND planes is recommended for EMI-sensitive designs.
How is the Product Identification Code accessed on the AT27C010-12TC?
The AT27C010-12TC Product Identification Code is read by asserting A9 = 12.0 V (VID), holding A1–A16 = 0 V, and toggling A0 between VIL and VIH while CE = OE = VIL. A0 = VIL returns Manufacturer ID (0x1E); A0 = VIH returns Device ID (0x05). This mode requires VPP = 12 V and is supported by all industry-standard EPROM programmers.
