Product details
Overview
AT27C010L-12PI from Atmel is a 128K × 8-bit (1 Mbit) one-time programmable EPROM with 45 ns read access time, 5 V ±10% supply operation, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O, dual-line control (CE/OE), and rapid programming at 100 µs/byte - enabling firmware storage in microprocessor-based embedded systems without wait states.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C010L-12PI datasheet, AT27C010L-12PI pinout, AT27C010L-12PI application, or AT27C010L-12PI equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (100 µA max), VPP programming voltage (12.0 V ±0.5 V), JEDEC-standard 32-lead PDIP package, and OTP reliability for fixed-code boot memory in legacy industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The AT27C010L-12PI implements a parallel-addressed OTP EPROM architecture with 17 address lines (A0–A16) and 8 bidirectional data outputs (O0–O7), controlled by CE and OE for bus contention management. Its Rapid™ programming algorithm uses precise 100 µs PGM pulses at VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V and VCC = 6.5 V during programming mode.
It supports product identification via A9 high-voltage strobe (11.5–12.5 V) and A0 toggle to read manufacturer (0x1E) and device code (0x05) bytes. Absolute maximum ratings include –2.0 V to +7.0 V on all pins except A9 (–2.0 V to +14.0 V) and VPP (–2.0 V to +14.0 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (128K × 8), sufficient for full boot firmware images in 8-bit/16-bit microcontrollers |
| Read Access Time | 45 ns (tACC), eliminates WAIT states in 5 MHz Z80, 8051, or 68K-based systems |
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10%, compatible with standard logic rails without regulation overhead |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max (ISB1), enables low-power retention in always-on industrial modules |
| Active Current | 25 mA max at 5 MHz (ICC), optimized for sustained read throughput in real-time control loops |
| VPP Programming Voltage | 12.0 V ±0.5 V (VID), requires dedicated HV supply or charge pump - not 5 V tolerant |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade), validated for factory automation and motor drive environments |
Pinout & Package
AT27C010L-12PI is supplied in a 32-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual inline package (PDIP), per JEDEC MS-016 AE outline. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; package height ≤ 4.95 mm, body width 15.2 mm, lead pitch 2.54 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit parallel address bus; A0 = LSB, A16 = MSB; latched on CE/OE assertion |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; high-impedance when CE or OE is high |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; must be stable before address setup to avoid spurious reads |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; decouples EPROM from data bus during idle cycles |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input (100 µs width) that triggers byte programming when VPP = 12 V |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 12.0 V ±0.5 V input; must be applied after VCC and removed before VCC during programming |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% main supply; powers logic and output drivers in read mode |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per device per datasheet |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 28 (PDIP); internally unconnected - must remain floating or grounded per layout rules |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/byte typical programming time with auto-verify loop - reduces production burn-in cycle time by >70% vs. legacy EPROMs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C010-12PI | Higher active current (35 mA vs. 25 mA), same 45 ns speed and PDIP package | Suitable where system power budget allows higher read-mode draw | Select only if legacy design already uses AT27C010-12PI and firmware compatibility is prioritized over power savings |
| AM27C010-12DC | Same 128K×8 OTP EPROM, 45 ns, but AMD-manufactured with identical pinout and AC specs | Validated in aerospace programs requiring dual-sourced components | Use when qualifying alternate suppliers for long-lifecycle military or defense platforms |
Compared with AT27C010L-12PI, AT27C010-12PI trades 10 mA lower standby current for 10 mA higher active draw - ideal for infrequently accessed firmware; AM27C010-12DC offers second-source assurance without layout or timing changes.

FAQ
What is the programming voltage requirement for AT27C010L-12PI?
The AT27C010L-12PI requires VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V applied to pin 1 during programming, with strict sequencing: VCC must be applied before VPP and removed after VPP. This voltage is not used in read mode and must be isolated from the 5 V logic rail using dedicated switching circuitry or a programmable HV supply. Failure to observe this sequence risks permanent damage to the AT27C010L-12PI.
Can AT27C010L-12PI be used as a direct replacement for AT27C010-12PI?
Yes, the AT27C010L-12PI is pin-compatible and functionally identical to AT27C010-12PI in read mode, but draws only 25 mA active current versus 35 mA - making it a drop-in power-optimized substitute. Both share identical 45 ns access time, 32P6 PDIP package, and programming algorithm. The AT27C010L-12PI retains full compatibility with existing sockets and programmers calibrated for the AT27C010-12PI.
What is the purpose of the NC pin on AT27C010L-12PI?
Pin 28 of the AT27C010L-12PI is designated NC (No Connect) and is internally unconnected. It must be left floating or tied to GND per PCB layout best practices - never driven high or used as a signal line. This pin exists solely for mechanical symmetry in the 32-lead PDIP package and has no electrical function in the AT27C010L-12PI's operation or programming sequence.
Does AT27C010L-12PI support automatic product identification?
Yes, the AT27C010L-12PI implements an Integrated Product Identification Code accessible via A9 and A0. Applying VH (11.5–12.5 V) to A9 while toggling A0 reads Manufacturer ID (0x1E) or Device Code (0x05). This feature enables automated verification in production programming stations and ensures correct algorithm selection - a core capability confirmed in the AT27C010L-12PI datasheet Rev. 0321J.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable AT27C010L-12PI operation?
The AT27C010L-12PI requires two decoupling capacitors: a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND as close as possible to pins 16 and 32, plus a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point for arrays. These prevent transient excursions during CE transitions that could exceed absolute maximum ratings and cause non-conformance - a mandatory design rule specified for every AT27C010L-12PI installation.
