Product details
Overview
AT27C080-90JU from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is an 8 Mbit (1M × 8) one-time programmable EPROM with 90 ns read access time, 5V ±10% supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O, dual-line control (CE/OE), and rapid 50 µs/byte programming - enabling firmware storage in microprocessor systems without wait states.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C080-90JU datasheet, AT27C080-90JU pinout, AT27C080-90JU application, or AT27C080-90JU equivalent, key selection criteria include OTP reliability, PLCC-32 packaging, 100 µA max standby current, JEDEC-standard footprint compatibility, and integrated product identification code for automated programming validation.
Technical Context
The AT27C080-90JU implements a parallel-addressed OTP EPROM architecture with 20-bit address bus (A0–A19) and 8-bit bidirectional data bus (O0–O7), using CE and OE/VPP as active-low chip and output enable controls. Its rapid programming mode applies 13.0 V to OE/VPP and 6.5 V to VCC, with 50 µs CE pulses and per-byte verification loops.
It supports product identification via A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggling to select manufacturer (0x1E) or device code (0x8A) bytes. The device requires decoupling: 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor at VCC/GND plus 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic for arrays - reflecting its sensitivity to transient voltage excursions during CE state transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 8,388,608 bits (1,048,576 × 8), enabling full firmware image storage for 8-bit microcontrollers |
| Read access time | 90 ns max - eliminates WAIT states in 5 MHz Z80, 8051, or 68K-based systems |
| Supply voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead |
| Standby current | 100 µA max - supports low-power hold modes in battery-backed or intermittent operation |
| Active current | 40 mA max at 5 MHz - defines thermal budget for dense EPROM arrays on PCBs |
| Programming voltage | VPP = 13.0 V ±0.25 V on OE/VPP pin - requires dedicated high-voltage programming circuitry |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control panels and factory automation hardware |
Pinout & Package
AT27C080-90JU is packaged in a 32-lead plastic J-leaded chip carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-016 variation AE compliant, with 12.46 mm × 14.99 mm body and 1.27 mm lead pitch. Pin 1 identifier is marked by a corner chamfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address inputs | 20-bit parallel address bus selecting one of 1M byte locations |
| O0–O7 | Data outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus - outputs valid only when CE and OE both low |
| CE | Chip enable | Active-low global enable; high-Z outputs when high - prevents bus contention in multi-device systems |
| OE/VPP | Output enable / Program supply | Dual-function pin: low during read, 13.0 V during programming - requires voltage-level switching in programmer design |
| VCC | Power supply | 5 V ±10% main supply - must be applied before/removed after OE/VPP to avoid latchup |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power return - decoupling capacitor must connect here and to VCC within 2 mm |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid programming algorithm | 50 µs/byte typical - reduces firmware burn time by >90% vs. conventional EPROMs, with up to 10 retries per byte |
| Integrated product ID code | Manufacturer ID (0x1E) and device ID (0x8A) readable via A9=12.0 V and A0 toggle - enables auto-detection in universal programmers |
| ESD and latchup immunity | 2,000 V HBM ESD protection and 200 mA latchup immunity - ensures robustness during handling and board insertion |
| Green packaging | Pb/halide-free PLCC-32 - complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU without requiring process requalification |
| Two-line control interface | Separate CE and OE/VPP pins - allows independent gating of chip select and output driver, simplifying bus arbitration logic |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C080-90PU | Same die, PDIP-32 package instead of PLCC-32; 0.600" width; matte tin leads | Through-hole assembly preferred over surface-mount; higher thermal mass but larger footprint | Select for hand-soldering, prototyping, or legacy wave-solder processes where PLCC reflow is unavailable |
| MX29F080TC-90G | Flash memory (not OTP); 5V-only, 90 ns access, 32-pin TSOP - lacks VPP pin and rapid programming mode | Field-upgradable firmware vs. permanent OTP; requires erase-before-write cycle and block management | Select only if firmware revision capability is mandatory - not a functional or pin-compatible substitute |
Compared with AT27C080-90PU and MX29F080TC-90G, the AT27C080-90JU uniquely delivers PLCC-32 surface-mount compatibility, guaranteed one-time programmability, and integrated ID code verification - making it irreplaceable in cost-sensitive, high-reliability industrial designs where firmware immutability is required.

FAQ
What is the maximum programming voltage required for AT27C080-90JU?
The AT27C080-90JU requires 13.0 V ±0.25 V applied to the OE/VPP pin during programming, with VCC simultaneously raised to 6.5 V ±0.25 V. This dual-voltage requirement is strictly defined in the datasheet's DC programming characteristics table and must be met to achieve reliable 50 µs/byte programming. Applying incorrect VPP levels risks incomplete programming or latent bit failures in the AT27C080-90JU.
Can AT27C080-90JU be used as a direct replacement for AT27C040 in existing designs?
No - the AT27C080-90JU is not a direct replacement for AT27C040 due to its doubled memory size (1M × 8 vs. 512K × 8) and extended address range (A0–A19 vs. A0–A18). While pinout and timing are identical, software must be modified to handle the full 20-bit address space. The AT27C080-90JU will function electrically but may access unintended memory regions unless firmware explicitly manages A19.
Does AT27C080-90JU support standard JEDEC programming algorithms?
Yes - the AT27C080-90JU implements the industry-standard rapid programming algorithm with 50 µs CE pulses and per-byte verification, fully supported by Data I/O PS-3000, BP Microsystems Model 3000, and Xeltek SuperPRO 500P programmers. Its integrated product ID code (0x1E/0x8A) enables automatic algorithm selection, eliminating manual configuration for the AT27C080-90JU.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable AT27C080-90JU operation?
The AT27C080-90JU requires two decoupling capacitors: a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND as close as possible to the PLCC-32 pins, and a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor located near the power entry point for EPROM arrays. These values are specified in the "System considerations" section to suppress transients caused by CE switching - failure to implement both risks nonconformance in the AT27C080-90JU.
Is AT27C080-90JU RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the AT27C080-90JU carries the "Green (Pb/halide-free)" designation per Atmel's ordering information, confirming compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The PLCC-32 package uses matte tin lead finish and contains no lead, brominated flame retardants, or other restricted substances - verified in the official AT27C080 datasheet revision 0360N.
