Product details
Overview
AT27C010-55JI from Atmel is a 128K × 8-bit (1 Mbit) one-time programmable EPROM designed for nonvolatile firmware storage in microprocessor systems. It delivers 55 ns read access time, operates from a single 5V ±10% supply, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). Its dual-line control (CE/OE), CMOS/TTL compatibility, and Rapid™ programming (100 µs/byte) enable direct integration into embedded boot memory and configuration storage applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C010-55JI datasheet, AT27C010-55JI pinout, AT27C010-55JI application, or AT27C010-55JI equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 55 ns tACC timing, industrial-grade standby current (≤100 µA), PLCC-32 package mapping, OTP reliability for fixed firmware, and compatibility with standard EPROM programmers using VPP = 12.0 V.
Technical Context
The AT27C010-55JI implements a parallel-addressed OTP EPROM architecture with 17 address lines (A0–A16), 8 bidirectional data outputs (O0–O7), and dedicated program strobe (PGM) and high-voltage programming supply (VPP) pins. It uses Atmel's high-reliability CMOS process with 2000V ESD protection and 200 mA latchup immunity.
Its operation relies on two independent enable controls: Chip Enable (CE) for device selection and Output Enable (OE) for output buffer gating - enabling bus contention avoidance in multi-device systems. Programming requires precise 12.0 V ±0.5 V on A9 and 13.0 V ±0.25 V on VPP, with 100 µs PGM pulses and verification loops per byte.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 128K × 8 bits (1,048,576 bits) - provides full boot code or configuration image storage without external expansion. |
| Read Access Time (tACC) | 55 ns max - eliminates WAIT states in 16–20 MHz microprocessor buses (e.g., 80C188, 68EC000). |
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard logic rails; no auxiliary voltage required for read mode. |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 100 µA max - enables low-power retention in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Active Current (ICC) | 35 mA max at 5 MHz - defines power budget for sustained read bursts in real-time firmware fetch. |

Pinout & Package
AT27C010-55JI is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-016 AE compliant, with 1.27 mm pitch and body size 18.5 × 18.5 mm. Pin 1 is marked by index notch; leads are gull-wing shaped for surface-mount reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus interface; latched internally on CE/OE assertion for memory location selection. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | CMOS/TTL-compatible tri-state outputs; driven only when CE = OE = low; high-impedance otherwise. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; must be low to activate internal array and enable output drivers. |
| OE | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; allows CE-controlled device selection while disabling outputs to prevent bus conflicts. |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input (100 µs width) that initiates byte programming when VPP is applied. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 13.0 V input during programming; must be stable before PGM assertion and removed after completion. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5 V supply for logic and memory array; powers all internal circuitry in read/standby modes. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for VCC and VPP; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device. |
| NC | No Connect | Unbonded pin (position 14 in PLCC); must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C010-55DC | 55 ns tACC, 35 mA ICC, same PLCC-32 package; requires VPP = 12.5 V (±0.25 V) vs. AT27C010-55JI's 13.0 V. | Valid for same industrial firmware storage use cases but demands adjusted programmer VPP calibration. | Select when sourcing from AMD/Spansion legacy supply chains; verify VPP tolerance margin in existing programming fixtures. |
| MX27C010PC-55 | 55 ns tACC, 30 mA ICC, PDIP-32 only (no PLCC option); lacks integrated product ID code and Rapid™ algorithm support. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, through-hole-only designs where programming throughput is secondary to board assembly simplicity. | Choose only for new PDIP-based designs lacking PLCC reflow capability; expect longer programming cycles and manual ID verification. |
Compared with AM27C010-55DC and MX27C010PC-55, the AT27C010-55JI offers guaranteed Rapid™ programming, built-in ID code for automated tooling, and PLCC-32 packaging - making it optimal for high-mix industrial manufacturing where programming repeatability and package flexibility are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowed VPP voltage for programming the AT27C010-55JI?
The AT27C010-55JI requires VPP = 13.0 V ± 0.25 V during programming, as specified in its DC Programming Characteristics table. Exceeding 13.25 V risks oxide damage and latent failure; operating below 12.75 V may cause incomplete programming. The AT27C010-55JI must never be subjected to VPP > 14.0 V, as that exceeds absolute maximum rating and can permanently destroy the device.
Does the AT27C010-55JI support read operations at 3.3 V?
No, the AT27C010-55JI does not support 3.3 V operation. Its VCC specification is strictly 5 V ± 10% (4.5 V to 5.5 V), and all DC/AC parameters - including VIH, VOL, and tACC - are characterized only within this range. Attempting 3.3 V read operation will result in undefined outputs, timing violations, and potential bus contention due to insufficient noise margins.
Can the AT27C010-55JI be used as a direct replacement for the AT27C010-55JC in a commercial-temperature design?
Yes, the AT27C010-55JI is pin-compatible and functionally identical to the AT27C010-55JC except for its extended industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C vs. 0°C to +70°C). All timing, electrical, and programming specifications match exactly. The AT27C010-55JI may be substituted without PCB changes, provided system thermal design accommodates the wider operating envelope.
How is the Integrated Product Identification Code read from the AT27C010-55JI?
The AT27C010-55JI identification code is read by asserting CE = OE = VIL, setting A9 = 12.0 V (VH), holding A1–A16 = VIL, and toggling A0 between VIL (to read Manufacturer ID 0x1E) and VIH (to read Device Code 0x05). Outputs O0–O7 reflect the 8-bit code. This sequence must occur with VPP = VCC = 5 V; no programming voltage is required for ID read.
What decoupling capacitance is required for stable AT27C010-55JI operation?
Each AT27C010-55JI requires a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to the device pins. For boards with multiple AT27C010-55JI devices, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor must also be connected between VCC and GND near the power entry point to suppress array-level supply droop during simultaneous output transitions.
