Product details
Overview
AT27C010L-70PC from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM optimized for low-power embedded firmware storage, featuring 70 ns read access time, 5V ±10% single-supply operation, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in 32-lead PDIP package. It delivers 25 mA active current at 5 MHz and <100 µA standby current, enabling direct replacement of mask ROM or UV-EPROM in microcontroller boot memory and BIOS applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C010L-70PC datasheet, AT27C010L-70PC pinout, AT27C010L-70PC application, or AT27C010L-70PC equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 70 ns tACC timing, VPP = 12.0 V programming voltage, Rapid™ 100 µs/byte algorithm support, JEDEC-standard 32P6 PDIP footprint compatibility, and integrated product identification code for automated programming validation.
Technical Context
The AT27C010L-70PC implements a CMOS OTP EPROM architecture with dual-line control (CE/OE), supporting fast random-access reads without WAIT states in 8-bit microprocessor buses. Its address decoding covers A0–A16 (128K locations), with dedicated PGM strobe and VPP pin for high-voltage programming.
It uses Atmel's Rapid™ Programming Algorithm requiring precise 100 µs ±5% PGM pulses at VPP = 13.0 V and VCC = 6.5 V, followed by verify cycles per byte. The integrated product identification code (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x05) is accessed via A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggling, enabling programmer auto-detection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576-bit (128K × 8) OTP EPROM - supports full firmware image storage for 8-bit MCUs without external buffering. |
| Read Access Time (tACC) | 70 ns max - ensures no WAIT states required on 14 MHz Z80 or 12 MHz 8051 bus systems. |
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard logic rails; no auxiliary voltage regulators needed. |
| Active Current (ICC) | 25 mA max at 5 MHz - enables use in power-constrained industrial controllers with thermal budget ≤125 mW. |
| Standby Current (ISB) | 100 µA max - allows battery-backed retention in low-power sleep modes for >1 year on coin cell. |
| Programming Voltage (VPP) | 12.0 V ±0.5 V - requires dedicated HV generator; not compatible with 5 V-only programmers. |

Pinout & Package
AT27C010L-70PC 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. Package dimensions: 1.20" × 0.600" × 0.220" (30.5 mm × 15.2 mm × 5.6 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus accepting 0–131071 decimal; A0 LSB, A16 MSB - directly interfaces to 8085/8086/Z80 address latches. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus (output only); TTL/CMOS-compatible VOH ≥2.4 V, VOL ≤0.4 V at 2.1 mA load. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; must be stable before OE to avoid bus contention; controls power state transition. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; decouples outputs from bus during read cycles when CE is asserted but OE is inactive. |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input triggering 100 µs programming window; requires synchronized VPP rise prior to assertion. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 12.0 V ±0.5 V input during programming; must be applied after VCC and removed before VCC to prevent latchup. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% main supply; powers logic and outputs; requires 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor at pin. |
| GND | Ground | Signal and power reference; separate ground plane recommended for noise-sensitive read operations. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 18 and 27 in PDIP are unconnected - must remain floating; no PCB trace or pull-up/pull-down. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C020-70PC | 2-Mbit (256K × 8) capacity; identical 70 ns tACC, same 32P6 PDIP package and pinout. | Supports larger firmware images; requires wider address bus (A0–A17) and updated decode logic. | Select when firmware exceeds 128K bytes and board layout accommodates A17 routing. |
| AM27C010-70DC | Same 1-Mbit density and 70 ns speed, but AMD-manufactured; VPP = 12.5 V, ICC = 30 mA (vs. 25 mA). | Higher active current increases thermal load; requires verification of 12.5 V VPP compatibility with existing programmer. | Choose only if AM27C010-70DC is already qualified in your production line and VPP margin permits. |
Compared with AT27C010L-70PC, AT27C020-70PC doubles storage without timing penalty but demands hardware changes, while AM27C010-70DC offers second-source availability at the cost of higher power and tighter VPP tolerance - making AT27C010L-70PC optimal for thermally constrained, cost-sensitive industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum programming voltage (VPP) specification for AT27C010L-70PC?
The AT27C010L-70PC requires VPP = 12.0 V ± 0.5 V during programming, with strict sequencing: VCC must be applied before VPP and removed after VPP. Exceeding 12.5 V risks permanent damage, and undershooting 11.5 V causes incomplete programming. This specification is confirmed in the DC Programming Characteristics table on page 6 of the official Atmel datasheet Rev. 0321J–07/98.
Does AT27C010L-70PC support automatic identification by industry-standard programmers?
Yes, AT27C010L-70PC implements an Integrated Product Identification Code accessible via A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggling, returning Manufacturer ID 0x1E and Device ID 0x05. This allows compliant programmers (e.g., BP Microsystems, Xeltek) to auto-detect the part, select correct algorithms, and validate programming voltage - eliminating manual setup errors for AT27C010L-70PC.
Can AT27C010L-70PC be used as a direct replacement for AT27C010-70PC in existing designs?
Yes, AT27C010L-70PC is pin-compatible and functionally identical to AT27C010-70PC except for lower active current (25 mA vs. 35 mA at 5 MHz) and reduced standby current (<100 µA vs. 1 mA). No PCB or firmware changes are required; the "L" variant improves thermal performance and extends battery life in portable applications using AT27C010L-70PC.
What is the minimum recommended bypass capacitance for AT27C010L-70PC?
Atmel specifies a minimum 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to the AT27C010L-70PC pins. For systems with multiple EPROMs, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor is also required near the power entry point. These values prevent transient-induced non-conformance during CE transitions, as detailed in the "System Considerations" section of the AT27C010L-70PC datasheet.
Is AT27C010L-70PC qualified for automotive applications?
No, AT27C010L-70PC is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), not automotive (–40°C to +125°C). While the "L" suffix denotes low-power operation, automotive qualification requires specific ordering codes like AT27C010-70PA (for PDIP) with "A" suffix and extended temp testing. Using AT27C010L-70PC in under-hood environments voids reliability guarantees and violates AEC-Q100 requirements.
