Product details
Overview
AT27C010-90PI from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM designed for nonvolatile 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) prevents bus contention in embedded boot memory applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C010-90PI datasheet, AT27C010-90PI pinout, AT27C010-90PI application, or AT27C010-90PI equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 90 ns AC timing (tACC), 35 mA active current at 5 MHz, 100 µA max standby current, JEDEC-standard PDIP-32 packaging, and Rapid™ programming compatibility with 12 V VPP.
Technical Context
The AT27C010-90PI implements a CMOS OTP EPROM architecture with addressable 128K × 8-bit organization and TTL/CMOS-compatible I/O. It uses two independent enable controls-Chip Enable (CE) and Output Enable (OE)-to manage output tri-state behavior and eliminate bus contention during multi-device operation.
Programming relies on a 100 µs pulse-width Rapid™ algorithm with 12.0 V ±0.5 V VPP applied to A9 for identification and to dedicated PGM pin, while VCC must be applied before and removed after VPP per absolute maximum ratings. The device integrates product identification code (0x1E/0x05) readable via A9 high-voltage mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576-bit (128K × 8) OTP EPROM - provides full boot code storage without refresh or write-cycle overhead. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns (max) - ensures no WAIT states required for 11 MHz Z80 or 12.5 MHz 8086 bus timing. |
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard logic rails; no auxiliary voltage regulators needed. |
| Active Current | 35 mA max at 5 MHz - defines power budget for sustained read bursts in real-time controllers. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max - enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep in portable instrumentation. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control panels and motor drive firmware storage. |
| VPP Programming Voltage | 12.0 V ±0.5 V - requires external high-voltage source; not derived from VCC. |
Pinout & Package
AT27C010-90PI is supplied in a 32-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual inline package (PDIP), JEDEC MS-011 compliant, with 0.1" lead pitch and through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus interface; A0 = LSB, A16 = MSB; latched on CE/OE assertion. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; outputs driven only when CE = VIL and OE = VIL. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; high-Z outputs when CE = VIH, enabling multi-chip memory decoding. |
| OE | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; allows shared bus use with other devices when CE is active. |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input (100 µs width) that initiates byte programming when VPP = 12 V. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 12 V input pin; must be applied after VCC and removed before VCC to prevent latchup. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply; powers logic core and I/O buffers; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required. |
| GND | Ground | Reference node for all signals and supplies; separate ground plane recommended for noise immunity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C010-90JC | Same 128K × 8 OTP EPROM, identical AC/DC specs, but in 32-lead PLCC package instead of PDIP. | Requires surface-mount PCB layout; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy socketed designs. | Select when board space constraints favor PLCC or reflow assembly is used. |
| AM27C010-90DC | Functionally equivalent 1-Mbit OTP EPROM (AMD), same 90 ns speed grade and PDIP-32 package, but lacks integrated product ID code. | No A9-based manufacturer/device ID readout - limits compatibility with automated programming equipment requiring ID validation. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for ID-driven programming verification. |
Compared with AT27C010-90PI, the AT27C010-90JC offers identical electrical performance in a surface-mount package for space-constrained designs, while the AM27C010-90DC provides pin-compatible functionality without ID code support-reducing programming flexibility but lowering BOM cost.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowed VPP voltage for programming the AT27C010-90PI?
The AT27C010-90PI requires VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V during programming, with absolute maximum rating of +14.0 V. Exceeding 12.5 V risks oxide breakdown in the floating-gate cells, potentially causing permanent bit corruption. Always apply VCC before VPP and remove VPP before VCC per the datasheet sequence.
Does the AT27C010-90PI support read operations at 3.3 V?
No, the AT27C010-90PI is specified only for 5 V ±10% operation. Its input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V) and output drive levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –400 µA) are optimized for 5 V TTL/CMOS logic families. Using 3.3 V VCC will result in undefined read behavior and potential bus contention.
Can the AT27C010-90PI be reprogrammed after initial programming?
No, the AT27C010-90PI is a one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM. Once a memory cell is programmed (bit changed from 1 to 0), it cannot be reverted to 1. Erasure requires UV exposure - which the plastic PDIP package blocks - making the device permanently programmed after the first write cycle.
What decoupling capacitance is required for stable AT27C010-90PI operation?
A 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to the AT27C010-90PI pins. For systems with multiple AT27C010-90PI devices, add a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point to suppress array-level supply droop during simultaneous read accesses.
How is the product identification code read from the AT27C010-90PI?
The AT27C010-90PI identification code is accessed by setting A9 = 12.0 V (VH), A0 = VIL or VIH to select Manufacturer ID (0x1E) or Device Code (0x05), and holding A1–A16 = VIL. CE and OE must both be low. This mode is used by programmers to auto-detect device type and apply correct algorithms.
