Product details
Overview
AT27C010-15PI from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM designed for firmware storage in microprocessor systems. It delivers 45 ns read access time, operates from a single 5V ±10% supply, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in a 32-lead PDIP package. Its dual-line control (CE/OE), CMOS/TTL compatibility, and Rapid™ programming (100 µs/byte) enable reliable boot code retention in embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C010-15PI datasheet, AT27C010-15PI pinout, AT27C010-15PI application, or AT27C010-15PI equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 45 ns tACC timing, 35 mA active current at 5 MHz, VPP = 12.0 V programming voltage, JEDEC-standard PDIP-32 mechanical footprint, and OTP reliability for unalterable firmware images.
Technical Context
The AT27C010-15PI implements a parallel-addressed OTP EPROM architecture with 17 address lines (A0–A16) and 8 bidirectional data outputs (O0–O7). It uses two independent chip-select logic paths-Chip Enable (CE) and Output Enable (OE)-to manage bus contention and support memory-mapped I/O in 8-bit microcontroller systems.
Programming requires VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V applied to pin 1, while read operation uses only VCC = 5 V. The device integrates an on-chip product identification code accessible via A9 high-voltage strobe (11.5–12.5 V) and A0 toggle, enabling automated programmer recognition and algorithm selection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (128K × 8); sufficient for full boot ROM or BIOS image in 8-bit MCU systems |
| Read Access Time | 45 ns max (tACC); eliminates WAIT states on 5 MHz Z80, 8051, or 68K-based designs |
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10%; compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead |
| Active Current | 35 mA max at 5 MHz; defines power budget for memory subsystem in battery-backed or low-power industrial controllers |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max (ISB1); enables low-quiescent power hold mode during processor sleep cycles |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V on pin 1; requires dedicated HV supply or charge-pump circuitry in programming hardware |
| ESD Protection | 2000 V HBM; ensures robustness during manual handling and board assembly |
Pinout & Package
AT27C010-15PI is supplied in a 32-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual inline package (PDIP), per JEDEC MS-016 AE outline. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; package height ≤ 0.220", body width 0.590", and lead pitch 0.100".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit parallel address bus; selects one of 131,072 bytes; A0 = LSB, A16 = MSB |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; outputs valid when CE = OE = low; high-impedance when disabled |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; must be low for read or program; controls VCC current draw into standby state |
| OE | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; allows shared bus operation without disabling entire chip |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input; initiates byte programming when VPP = 12 V and address valid |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 12 V supply pin; must be ramped after VCC and before PGM; critical for oxide breakdown during OTP write |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply; powers logic and output drivers; requires 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
| GND | Ground | Signal and power reference; connects to system ground plane; decoupling capacitor ties here |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 28 (PDIP); electrically isolated; no PCB trace or solder required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C020-15PI | 2-Mbit (256K × 8) capacity; identical 45 ns tACC, 5 V supply, and PDIP-32 package | Supports larger firmware images; requires address line A17 routing not needed for AT27C010-15PI | Select when future firmware growth headroom is required without changing PCB layout |
| AM27C010-15DC | Same 1-Mbit organization and 45 ns speed; manufactured by AMD; pinout identical but VPP tolerance differs (12.5 V max vs. 12.0 V) | Valid for second-source procurement; requires verification of programmer VPP compliance | Choose for supply chain diversification where Atmel sourcing is constrained |
Compared with AT27C010-15PI, AT27C020-15PI doubles storage without speed or interface penalty, while AM27C010-15DC offers direct form-fit-function substitution with minor VPP margin adjustment-both preserve the same industrial temperature rating and PDIP-32 footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum programming voltage required for AT27C010-15PI?
The AT27C010-15PI requires VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V applied to pin 1 during programming. This voltage must be stable and ramped after VCC is established. Exceeding 12.5 V risks oxide damage, while falling below 11.5 V may cause incomplete programming. The AT27C010-15PI datasheet specifies VID = 11.5–12.5 V for A9-based product ID access, confirming this operational window.
Does AT27C010-15PI support both CMOS and TTL logic levels?
Yes, AT27C010-15PI features CMOS and TTL compatible inputs and outputs. Input thresholds are VIL ≤ 0.8 V and VIH ≥ 2.0 V, while output drive meets VOH ≥ 2.4 V (IOH = –400 µA) and VOL ≤ 0.4 V (IOL = 2.1 mA). This allows direct interfacing with 5 V TTL microcontrollers like the 8051 or Z80 without level-shifting circuitry.
Can AT27C010-15PI be used in automotive applications?
The AT27C010-15PI is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). While Atmel also offered automotive-grade variants (e.g., AT27C010-15PA), the -15PI suffix explicitly denotes industrial qualification. For AEC-Q100-compliant automotive use, AT27C010-15PA-not AT27C010-15PI-is the validated option with extended high-temperature operation up to +125°C.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable AT27C010-15PI operation?
Each AT27C010-15PI requires a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to pins 16 and 32. For systems with multiple EPROMs, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should also connect VCC–GND near the power entry point. These values are specified in the AT27C010-15PI system considerations section to suppress transient excursions during CE switching.
How is the product identification code read from AT27C010-15PI?
The AT27C010-15PI integrated product ID is read by setting A9 = 12.0 V (VH), holding A1–A16 = VIL, and toggling A0 between VIL (for Manufacturer ID = 0x1E) and VIH (for Device Code = 0x05). Outputs O0–O7 reflect the selected byte while CE = OE = VIL. This feature enables automatic device recognition in programming tools and avoids manual part selection errors.
