Product details
Overview
AT27C1024-15PI 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 dual-line control (CE/OE). It serves as non-volatile firmware storage in legacy microprocessor systems requiring pin-compatible upgrade from AT27C516.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C1024-15PI datasheet, AT27C1024-15PI pinout, AT27C1024-15PI application, or AT27C1024-15PI equivalent, this page delivers verified timing specs, industrial temperature support (−40°C to +85°C), Rapid™ programming algorithm details, JEDEC-compliant package dimensions, and real-world system integration considerations including decoupling capacitor requirements.
Technical Context
The AT27C1024-15PI operates in five distinct modes-Read, Output Disable, Standby, Rapid Program, and PGM Verify-controlled by CE, OE, and PGM signals with VPP = 13.0 V during programming. Its 64K × 16 organization enables byte-wide or word-wide data access without external multiplexing in 16-bit bus architectures.
It features integrated product identification (A9-driven voltage-selectable Manufacturer ID and Device Code), CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O, 2000V ESD protection, and latchup immunity up to 200 mA. The device requires simultaneous VCC/VPP sequencing and mandates 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per unit plus bulk 4.7 µF stabilization for multi-device arrays.

Pinout & Package
AT27C1024-15PI uses a 40-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual inline package (PDIP), JEDEC MS-011 AC compliant, with 0.1" lead pitch and through-hole mounting. Both GND pins (Pin 12 and Pin 28) must be connected for stable operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; latched internally on CE low; A0 toggles between Manufacturer ID and Device Code modes |
| O0–O15 | Data Outputs | True TTL/CMOS-compatible bidirectional outputs; high-impedance when OE or CE high |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; active-low; controls internal array enable and power state transition |
| OE | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; active-low; allows shared bus operation with CE managing chip selection |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input (100 µs ±5%) initiating single-word programming under VPP = 13 V |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 13.0 V ±0.25 V input; must be applied after VCC and removed before VCC; requires 0.1 µF local bypass |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5V ±10% main supply; powers logic and outputs; supplies current for both read and program modes |
| GND | Ground | Two dedicated ground pins (12 and 28); both must be soldered to minimize noise and ensure latchup immunity |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 21 is unconnected; must remain floating - no pull-up/down or routing allowed |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C1024-15JI | Same die, identical timing and pinout, but packaged in 44-lead PLCC (44J) instead of PDIP | Requires surface-mount assembly and different socket; better thermal dissipation but higher board cost | Select when upgrading legacy designs to SMT or when space-constrained layouts prohibit through-hole components |
| AM27C1024-15DC | AMD second-source version; same 150 ns access, 5V supply, and 40-pin PDIP; minor differences in programming voltage tolerance (12.5–13.5 V) | Validated in same industrial temperature range; requires verification of programmer compatibility due to VID threshold variance | Choose for supply chain diversification where Atmel sourcing is constrained; verify VID setup in programming flow |
Compared with AT27C1024-15PI, the AT27C1024-15JI offers superior thermal performance in high-density layouts but demands PCB redesign, while AM27C1024-15DC provides direct functional equivalence with minimal qualification overhead if AMD programming tools are already deployed.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AT27C1024-15PI?
The AT27C1024-15PI 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 "-15PI" explicitly denotes the Industrial grade variant with 40P6 (PDIP) packaging. It is not rated for automotive (−40°C to +125°C) or extended commercial ranges.
Does the AT27C1024-15PI require a separate programming voltage during normal read operation?
No, the AT27C1024-15PI operates from a single 5V ±10% supply (VCC) during read mode. VPP = 13.0 V is required only during programming and verification cycles. In standby or read modes, VPP may be tied to VCC, though doing so increases standby current slightly per datasheet Note 5 on page 4.
Can the AT27C1024-15PI be used as a direct replacement for the AT27C516 in existing designs?
Yes - the AT27C1024-15PI is explicitly designed as a direct upgrade from the AT27C516 (512K-bit EPROM). It shares identical pinout, voltage levels, control signal behavior (CE/OE/PGM), and PDIP packaging. The only design change needed is widening the address bus from A0–A14 to A0–A15 and updating firmware size allocation.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable operation of the AT27C1024-15PI?
The AT27C1024-15PI requires two decoupling capacitors: a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed directly between VCC and GND pins (12 and 28), and a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor located near the power entry point of any array containing multiple AT27C1024-15PI devices. These values are specified in the "System Considerations" section on page 2.
How is the product identification code read from the AT27C1024-15PI?
The AT27C1024-15PI's identification code is accessed by setting A9 to VH = 12.0 V ±0.5 V (VID = 11.5–12.5 V), holding A1–A15 low, and toggling A0: low selects the Manufacturer ID (001Eh), high selects the Device Code (00F1h). Outputs O15–O0 reflect the 16-bit hex value, as shown in the "Atmel's 27C1024 Integrated Product Identification Code" table on page 8.
