Product details
Overview
AT27C040-90TI from Atmel is a 4-Mbit (512K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM designed for nonvolatile program storage in microprocessor systems. It operates on a single 5V ±10% supply, delivers 90 ns read access time, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and features dual-line control (CE/OE) to prevent bus contention in high-speed embedded applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C040-90TI datasheet, AT27C040-90TI pinout, AT27C040-90TI application, or AT27C040-90TI equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (32-lead PLCC), confirmed Rapid™ programming algorithm (100 µs/byte), JEDEC-standard timing parameters, ESD/latchup immunity specs, and real-world use context for legacy system upgrades and firmware boot memory.
Technical Context
The AT27C040-90TI implements a CMOS-based OTP EPROM architecture with 19 address lines (A0–A18) and 8 bidirectional data outputs (O0–O7), enabling direct byte-level access without WAIT states. Its two-control-line interface (CE and OE) decouples chip selection from output gating, supporting clean bus arbitration in multiprocessor or shared-memory environments.
Programming relies on external VPP = 13.0 V ±0.25 V applied during CE-pulsed Rapid™ algorithm execution, while read mode requires only VCC = 5 V. The integrated product identification code (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x0B) enables automatic algorithm selection in industry-standard programmers via A9 high-voltage (11.5–12.5 V) and A0 toggling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4,194,304-bit (512K × 8) - supports full 16-bit or 8-bit microprocessor data buses without banking logic |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max - eliminates WAIT states on 11 MHz Z80, 80C88, or 68000-based systems |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no auxiliary voltage required for read operation |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max (CMOS CE) - enables low-power retention in battery-backed or intermittent-use embedded controllers |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 13.0 V ±0.25 V - requires dedicated programming hardware; not used during normal system operation |

| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; controls device power state and output driver activation |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; allows multiple devices on same data bus without contention |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 13 V input during programming only; must be disconnected or tied to VCC during read operation |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V main supply; must be applied before/removed after VPP to prevent damage |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all signals and supplies; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C040-90DC | Same 4-Mbit (512K × 8) OTP EPROM; 90 ns access; 5 V supply; but uses 32-lead PDIP (32P6) instead of PLCC | Through-hole mounting only; higher profile and lower thermal dissipation than PLCC | Select if legacy through-hole assembly is required and board real estate allows 0.600" wide DIP footprint |
| MX27C4001-90PC | 4-Mbit OTP EPROM with identical 90 ns access and 5 V supply; differs in programming voltage (12.5 V vs. 13.0 V) and ID code structure | Requires updated programmer firmware for ID recognition; minor AC timing variances in tDF and tOH | Choose only after verifying compatibility with existing programming infrastructure and timing margin analysis in target system |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AT27C040-90TI?
The AT27C040-90TI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is validated per the datasheet's Operating Conditions table and applies to both read and standby modes. The AT27C040-90TI maintains full timing compliance and data retention within this range, making it suitable for deployment in factory-floor controllers and outdoor telecom equipment.
Does the AT27C040-90TI require a separate programming voltage during normal operation?
No, the AT27C040-90TI requires only a single 5 V ±10% supply (VCC) for read and standby operation. The VPP pin (13.0 V ±0.25 V) is used exclusively during programming and must be disconnected or tied to VCC during system runtime. Applying VPP during read mode may cause functional failure or permanent damage to the AT27C040-90TI.
How many address lines does the AT27C040-90TI have, and what memory organization do they support?
The AT27C040-90TI has 19 address lines (A0–A18), supporting a 512K × 8-bit organization totaling 4,194,304 bits. This maps directly to 524,288 bytes of contiguous address space, enabling seamless integration with 16-bit and 32-bit microprocessors using standard address decoding without bank switching logic.
Can the AT27C040-90TI be used as a drop-in replacement for the AT27C040-90PI?
No, the AT27C040-90TI and AT27C040-90PI are not drop-in replacements due to differing packages: the AT27C040-90TI uses a 32-lead PLCC (32J), while the AT27C040-90PI uses a 32-lead PDIP (32P6). Pin functions are identical, but mechanical fit, thermal characteristics, and PCB layout are incompatible without redesign.
What is the purpose of the Integrated Product Identification Code in the AT27C040-90TI?
The Integrated Product Identification Code in the AT27C040-90TI provides Manufacturer ID (0x1E) and Device ID (0x0B) bytes readable via A9 high-voltage (11.5–12.5 V) and A0 toggling. This enables automatic detection and algorithm selection in industry-standard programmers, eliminating manual part selection errors and ensuring correct VPP timing and verification sequences for the AT27C040-90TI.
