Product details
Overview
AT27C1024-15JI from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) one-time programmable EPROM with 40-pin PDIP packaging, 150 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 reliable boot code or configuration data without reprogrammability.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C1024-15JI datasheet, AT27C1024-15JI pinout, AT27C1024-15JI application, or AT27C1024-15JI equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, JEDEC-compliant package details, Rapid™ programming timing, CMOS/TTL compatibility, and real-world system integration guidance for legacy 16-bit embedded designs.
Technical Context
The AT27C1024-15JI implements a high-density OTP EPROM architecture organized as 64K words × 16 bits, supporting direct upgrade from AT27C516 (512K) devices. Its two-line control interface (CE and OE) enables bus contention-free operation in high-speed 16/32-bit microprocessor buses.
It uses Atmel's Rapid™ Programming Algorithm with 100 µs/word typical programming pulse width at VPP = 13.0 V and VCC = 6.5 V, and features integrated product identification code accessible via A9 and A0 for automated programmer recognition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (64K × 16), enabling full firmware image storage for 16-bit MCUs without external banking logic. |
| Read Access Time | 150 ns max - eliminates WAIT states in 6.67 MHz CPU bus cycles (e.g., Intel 80286, Motorola 68020). |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no auxiliary voltage required in read mode. |
| Active Current | 30 mA max at 5 MHz - supports sustained burst reads without thermal derating in industrial enclosures. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max (CMOS CE input) - enables low-power hold during processor sleep in battery-backed systems. |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 13.0 V ±0.25 V - requires dedicated EPROM programmer with regulated high-voltage supply; not supported by standard logic-level programmers. |
| ESD Protection | 2000 V HBM - ensures robustness during manual handling and PCB assembly in uncontrolled environments. |
Pinout & Package
AT27C1024-15JI is supplied in a 40-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual inline package (PDIP), JEDEC MS-011 AC compliant, with 2×20 pin layout and dual GND pins (pins 10 and 24) requiring connection per datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; latched on CE low transition; all 16 bits required to select any of 64K words. |
| O0–O15 | Data Outputs | 16-bit bidirectional data bus outputs; high-impedance when OE or CE high; TTL/CMOS compatible VOH/VOL. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; must be low for read or program; controls standby current path (ISB1/ISB2). |
| OE | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; allows shared bus operation; float timing tDF ≤ 40 ns ensures clean bus release. |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input (100 µs width) that initiates word programming when VPP = 13 V and CE = low. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 13 V input pin; must be applied after VCC and removed before VCC; requires 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling to ground. |
| GND (Pins 10, 24) | Ground Reference | Two independent ground connections required; both must be tied to system ground plane to meet ICC/ISB specs. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5 V ±10% main supply; powers core logic and outputs; requires 0.1 µF ceramic + 4.7 µF bulk capacitor per device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/word typical programming time with auto-verify loop - reduces firmware burn time by >5× vs. legacy EPROMs. |
| Integrated Product ID Code | Manufacturer ID (001Eh) and Device Code (00F1h) readable via A9=12 V and A0 toggle - enables plug-and-play programmer setup. |
| JEDEC Standard Packages | 40-pin PDIP (40P6) footprint - ensures drop-in replacement for AT27C516 and compatibility with legacy socketed systems. |
| Two-Line Control Interface | Independent CE and OE inputs - permits flexible bus arbitration and eliminates need for external gating logic in multiprocessor systems. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AT27C1024-15JI?
The AT27C1024-15JI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 10 of the official datasheet, where "JI" suffix explicitly denotes the industrial grade. The device maintains full DC and AC performance across this range, including 150 ns access time and 100 µA standby current compliance.
Does the AT27C1024-15JI support in-circuit programming?
No, the AT27C1024-15JI does not support in-circuit programming. It requires a dedicated EPROM programmer applying 13.0 V to VPP and 6.5 V to VCC during programming, with precise 100 µs PGM pulses. The device lacks serial interfaces or internal voltage charge pumps, and its PDIP package is intended for socketed programming prior to system insertion.
Can the AT27C1024-15JI be used as a direct replacement for the AT27C516?
Yes, the AT27C1024-15JI is specified as a direct upgrade from the AT27C516 (512K × 8). While pin-compatible in 40-pin PDIP, it doubles density to 64K × 16 and adds A15/O8–O15 pins. System redesign is needed to exploit full width, but 8-bit mode operation is supported using lower byte outputs (O0–O7) and address lines A0–A14.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable operation of the AT27C1024-15JI?
The AT27C1024-15JI requires two decoupling capacitors: a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND as close to the device as possible, plus a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point of the EPROM array. These values are mandated in the "System Considerations" section (page 2) to suppress transient excursions during CE switching and stabilize VCC under active current draw.
How is the manufacturer and device identification code read from the AT27C1024-15JI?
The AT27C1024-15JI identification code is read by setting A9 to 12.0 V (VID = 11.5–12.5 V), holding A1–A15 low, and toggling A0: low selects Manufacturer ID (001Eh), high selects Device Code (00F1h). Outputs O0–O15 reflect the 16-bit hex code while CE and OE are low. This method is documented in Note 4 on page 3 and the Identification Code table on page 8 of the datasheet.
