Product details
Overview
AT27C080-90PU from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM IC with 8 Mbit (1M × 8) storage, 90 ns read access time, 5V ±10% supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as nonvolatile firmware storage in microprocessor systems requiring fast, latchup-immune, CMOS/TTL-compatible memory without WAIT states.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C080-90PU datasheet, AT27C080-90PU pinout, AT27C080-90PU application, or AT27C080-90PU equivalent, key selection criteria include rapid programming (50 µs/byte), dual-mode OE/VPP pin functionality, JEDEC-standard 32-lead PDIP package, and integrated product identification code for automated programming equipment compatibility.
Technical Context
The AT27C080-90PU implements a parallel-addressed OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE and OE/VPP), enabling bus contention avoidance in embedded systems. Its address space spans A0–A19 (20-bit), supporting full 1M-byte decoding, while O0–O7 provide TTL/CMOS-compatible 8-bit data outputs.
Programming uses a rapid algorithm with 50 µs CE pulses at elevated VCC (6.5 V) and OE/VPP (13.0 V), verified per byte with up to 10 retries; identification mode activates via A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggling to read manufacturer (0x1E) and device (0x8A) codes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 8,388,608-bit (1M × 8) OTP EPROM - supports full firmware image storage for 8-bit microcontrollers without external buffering |
| Read access time | 90 ns max - eliminates WAIT states on 5 MHz Z80, 8051, or 68K-based systems |
| Supply voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard logic rails; no auxiliary voltage required for read mode |
| Active current | 40 mA max at 5 MHz - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or thermally constrained designs |
| Standby current | 100 µA max - reduces quiescent power in always-on embedded controllers |
| ESD protection | 2,000 V HBM - ensures robustness during board handling and in-circuit programming |
| Latchup immunity | 200 mA - prevents destructive latchup under transient overvoltage or ground bounce |
Pinout & Package
AT27C080-90PU is supplied in a 32-lead plastic dual inline package (PDIP), 0.600" wide, with JEDEC MS-016-compliant footprint and matte tin lead finish. Pin 1 is marked by notch or dot; leads are through-hole compatible with standard 0.1" grid PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address inputs | 20-bit parallel address bus - selects one of 1,048,576 bytes; all must be stable before CE/OE assertion |
| O0–O7 | Data outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus in read mode - drives TTL/CMOS loads directly; high-impedance when CE or OE high |
| CE | Chip enable | Active-low chip select - enables device only when low; used for memory-mapped decode or bank switching |
| OE/VPP | Output enable / Program supply | Dual-function pin: low = output enable (read); 12–13 V = programming voltage (VPP) - requires external voltage switching circuitry |
| VCC | Power supply | +5 V supply - must be applied before or simultaneously with OE/VPP; decoupling with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor required |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power return - shared with system ground; layout must minimize inductance to prevent read noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid programming algorithm | 50 µs/byte typical - reduces firmware update time by >90% vs. legacy EPROMs, enabling high-throughput manufacturing programming |
| Integrated product ID code | Manufacturer (0x1E) and device (0x8A) codes readable via A9=12.0 V and A0 toggle - allows automatic algorithm selection in universal programmers |
| Two-line control interface | Separate CE and OE/VPP pins - eliminates bus contention during partial-memory access and supports flexible memory mapping |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C case operating range - qualified for deployment in factory automation, telecom line cards, and outdoor instrumentation |
| Green packaging | Pb/halide-free PDIP - complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and supports lead-free reflow assembly where applicable |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C080-90JU | Same die, 32-lead PLCC package instead of PDIP; 12.3 mm × 14.9 mm footprint vs. 42.3 mm × 15.9 mm | Surface-mount assembly required; unsuitable for through-hole prototyping or legacy socketed designs | Select AT27C080-90JU only when board space constraints favor compact PLCC and SMT reflow capability exists. |
| AM27C080-90DC | AMD-manufactured second-source part; identical timing (90 ns), same pinout, but 1.5 mA standby current vs. 100 µA | Higher static power draw limits use in battery-backed or thermally isolated enclosures | Choose AM27C080-90DC only if AT27C080-90PU is unavailable and system design accommodates higher standby current. |
Compared with AT27C080-90JU and AM27C080-90DC, the AT27C080-90PU offers optimal balance of through-hole manufacturability, ultra-low standby power (100 µA), and JEDEC-standard PDIP compatibility-making it preferred for industrial control upgrades and legacy system refurbishment where socket replacement is required.

FAQ
What is the programming voltage requirement for AT27C080-90PU?
The AT27C080-90PU requires OE/VPP = 12.0 V ± 0.5 V during programming, with VCC raised to 6.5 V ± 0.25 V. This dual-voltage scheme enables the rapid 50 µs/byte algorithm. Programming must follow the sequence in Figure 6-1: address setup, voltage ramp, pulse application, and verification. Applying 12 V to OE/VPP while VCC remains at 5 V will not program the AT27C080-90PU and may damage the device.
Can AT27C080-90PU be used in place of a UV-erasable EPROM like the 27C512?
No - the AT27C080-90PU is one-time programmable and lacks a quartz window for UV erasure. Unlike UV-erasable EPROMs, it cannot be reprogrammed after initial programming. Its 8 Mbit capacity and 90 ns access time make it suitable for final-production firmware images, but not for development cycles requiring repeated code updates. For such cases, consider flash alternatives or socketed UV-EPROMs instead of the AT27C080-90PU.
Does AT27C080-90PU support byte-level writes during programming?
Yes - the AT27C080-90PU supports individual byte programming via the rapid algorithm: each address is programmed with a 50 µs CE pulse, then verified. If verification fails, up to nine additional pulses may be applied to that specific byte. This enables selective firmware patching without reprogramming the entire 1M-byte array - a key advantage over block-erase flash devices when updating AT27C080-90PU in production test environments.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable AT27C080-90PU operation?
The AT27C080-90PU requires a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to pins 16 and 32. For boards with multiple AT27C080-90PU devices, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor must also be added near the power entry point. These values are mandated in Section 3 of the datasheet to suppress transient excursions caused by CE switching - failure to implement them risks read corruption or nonconformance to tACC/tOE specifications.
How is the product identification code read from AT27C080-90PU?
The AT27C080-90PU identification code is read by setting A9 = 12.0 V (VID = 11.5–12.5 V), holding A1–A19 = VIL, and toggling A0: low (VIL) returns the manufacturer ID (0x1E), high (VIH) returns the device ID (0x8A). Outputs O0–O7 reflect the 8-bit code. This mode requires OE/VPP = VIL and CE = VIL. The AT27C080-90PU must be powered at VCC = 6.5 V ± 0.25 V during this operation - standard 5 V read-mode supply will not activate identification mode.
