Product details
Overview
AT27C010-70TC from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM designed for nonvolatile firmware storage in microprocessor systems. It features 45 ns read access time, 5V ±10% single-supply operation, and JEDEC-standard 32-lead TSOP packaging. Its dual-line control (CE/OE) prevents bus contention and enables direct integration into embedded boot memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C010-70TC datasheet, AT27C010-70TC pinout, AT27C010-70TC application, or AT27C010-70TC equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 70 ns AC timing compliance, industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), TSOP package footprint compatibility, and Rapid™ programming algorithm support (100 µs/byte typical).
Technical Context
The AT27C010-70TC implements a CMOS OTP EPROM architecture with address decoding for A0–A16, eight bidirectional data outputs (O0–O7), and dedicated control lines (CE, OE, PGM). It operates exclusively in 5V read mode and requires VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V only during programming.
Its two power modes-active (35 mA max at 5 MHz) and standby (100 µA max)-are managed via CE logic level, while output drive meets TTL/CMOS voltage thresholds (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V). The integrated product identification code uses A9 high-voltage (12.0 V) and A0 toggling to return manufacturer (0x1E) and device (0x05) bytes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576-bit (128K × 8) OTP EPROM - supports full firmware image storage without refresh or write cycles. |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns max - guarantees no WAIT states required on 14 MHz Z80 or 12.5 MHz 8086 bus systems. |
| VCC Supply | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard logic rails; no auxiliary voltage regulators needed for read operation. |
| Active Current | 35 mA max at 5 MHz - defines thermal budget for dense EPROM arrays in industrial controllers. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max - enables low-power retention in battery-backed systems during idle periods. |
| Programming Speed | 100 µs/byte typical (Rapid™ Algorithm) - reduces production programming time by >5× vs. legacy EPROMs. |

Pinout & Package
AT27C010-70TC is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP), Type 1, JEDEC MO-142 BD compliant, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and 10.16 mm × 18.4 mm body dimensions.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus interface; A0 = LSB, A16 = MSB - fully decodes 128K byte space. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; outputs driven only when CE = OE = low - matches 8086/68000 data bus timing. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables internal logic and output drivers - primary device selection signal in multi-chip memory maps. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus driver state independently of CE - enables shared-bus arbitration. |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input (100 µs width) that initiates byte programming when VPP = 12 V - not used in read mode. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 12.0 V ±0.5 V input required only during programming - must be applied after VCC and removed before VCC. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply pin; powers all logic and output drivers - must be stable within ±10% during read and program cycles. |
| GND | Ground | Reference return for all signals and supplies - requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 6 (TSOP top view) is unconnected - must remain floating; no external tie required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/byte typical programming time with auto-verify loop - eliminates manual reprogramming steps and reduces test floor cycle time. |
| Integrated Product ID Code | Manufacturer (0x1E) and Device (0x05) bytes readable via A9=12V and A0 toggle - enables automated programmer validation and BOM traceability. |
| Two-Line Control Architecture | Independent CE and OE inputs - allows partial decoding and dynamic bus sharing without external logic gates. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | -40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for use in motor drives, PLCs, and outdoor telecom equipment without derating. |
| JEDEC-Standard TSOP Packaging | 32T footprint (MO-142 BD) - ensures drop-in compatibility with existing EPROM sockets and reflow soldering processes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C020-70TC | 2-Mbit (256K × 8) capacity; identical 70 ns timing, TSOP-32 package, and Rapid™ programming. | Supports larger firmware images; requires updated address decoding for A17. | Select when firmware size exceeds 128K bytes but board layout and timing constraints remain unchanged. |
| MX27C1001-70PC | Same 1-Mbit density and 70 ns speed, but in PDIP-32; higher active current (40 mA) and no integrated ID code. | Suitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy repair; lacks A9-based device identification. | Choose for hand-soldered development boards or field replacement where TSOP rework is impractical. |
Compared with AT27C010-70TC, AT27C020-70TC doubles storage without timing or package penalty, while MX27C1001-70PC trades surface-mount convenience for through-hole serviceability and omits programmable ID features.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the AT27C010-70TC?
The AT27C010-70TC is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (page 9) and DC Operating Conditions (page 4), where "I" suffix denotes industrial grade. The "TC" package code explicitly identifies the TSOP variant qualified across this full range, making it suitable for factory automation and outdoor equipment deployments.
Does the AT27C010-70TC require a programming voltage during normal read operation?
No, the AT27C010-70TC requires only a single 5V ±10% supply (VCC) for read mode operation. VPP (12.0 V ±0.5 V) is needed exclusively during programming and must be applied after VCC and removed before VCC, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Programming Waveforms sections. In read mode, VPP may be tied to VCC or left unconnected depending on system design.
How does the Rapid™ Programming Algorithm improve production efficiency for the AT27C010-70TC?
The Rapid™ Programming Algorithm reduces AT27C010-70TC programming time to 100 µs per byte (typical), with an auto-verify/reprogram loop that applies up to 10 pulses per failing byte. This eliminates manual verification passes and cuts total programming time by more than 5× versus conventional EPROM algorithms, directly lowering test-floor cycle time and increasing yield in high-volume manufacturing.
Can the AT27C010-70TC be used as a direct replacement for the AT27C010-70PC in an existing PDIP-based design?
No - the AT27C010-70TC uses a 32-lead TSOP package (MO-142 BD), while the AT27C010-70PC uses a 32-lead PDIP (MS-016 AE). Though both share identical pin functions and electrical characteristics, their footprints, soldering profiles, and mechanical mounting are incompatible. Board redesign or adapter is required for substitution.
What is the purpose of the Integrated Product Identification Code in the AT27C010-70TC?
The Integrated Product Identification Code allows automated programmers to electronically verify the AT27C010-70TC's identity by reading two bytes: Manufacturer ID (0x1E) and Device Code (0x05). This is achieved by applying 12.0 V to A9 and toggling A0 while holding other address lines low. It ensures correct algorithm selection and prevents misprogramming of incompatible devices in high-mix production environments.
