Product details
Overview
AT27C1024-45JC from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) one-time programmable EPROM with 45 ns read access time, 5V ±10% supply operation, and dual-line control (CE/OE) for bus contention avoidance in 16-/32-bit microprocessor systems. It features Rapid™ programming at 100 µs/word and integrated product identification code for automated programming equipment.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C1024-45JC datasheet, AT27C1024-45JC pinout, AT27C1024-45JC application, or AT27C1024-45JC equivalent, key selection criteria include 40-pin PDIP package compatibility, 45 ns timing grade, industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), CMOS/TTL I/O compatibility, and OTP firmware storage requirements in legacy embedded systems.
Technical Context
The AT27C1024-45JC implements a 64K-word × 16-bit OTP memory array with address decoding for A0–A15 and bidirectional data output O0–O15. Its two-line enable architecture (CE active-low, OE active-low) enables high-speed read cycles without bus contention, supporting direct integration into microprocessor data buses.
Programming requires VPP = 13.0 V ±0.25 V and VCC = 6.5 V ±0.25 V during pulse application, with PGM strobe controlling 100 µs ±5% program pulses. Product identification uses A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggling to select manufacturer (001Eh) or device code (00F1h) words.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (64K × 16), enabling full firmware image storage for 80x86 and 68K-based controllers |
| Read Access Time | 45 ns max - eliminates WAIT states in 22 MHz CPU systems with ≤45 ns memory cycle requirement |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails without external regulation |
| Active Current | 30 mA max at 5 MHz - supports low-power system-level power budgeting in battery-backed applications |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max (CMOS CE) - enables extended sleep mode in industrial controllers with infrequent firmware reads |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 13.0 V ±0.25 V - requires dedicated high-voltage programming circuitry, not supplied by host system |
| ESD Protection | 2000 V HBM - ensures robustness during manual handling and board assembly in non-EPA environments |
Pinout & Package
AT27C1024-45JC is packaged in a 40-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual inline package (PDIP), JEDEC MS-011 AC compliant. 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 on CE falling edge for memory location selection |
| O0–O15 | Data Outputs | 16-bit bidirectional data path; three-state controlled by OE and CE to prevent bus conflicts |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary chip-select; device enters standby when high, enabling multi-chip memory decoding |
| OE | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; allows shared bus operation with other peripherals without disabling CE |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input triggering 100 µs programming cycle under VPP = 13 V conditions |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | High-voltage input (13 V) required only during programming; must be applied after VCC and removed before VCC |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% main supply; powers logic and memory array during read and programming modes |
| GND | Ground | Two dedicated ground pins (12, 28) required for noise immunity and current return path separation |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 21 is unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines to avoid coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/word typical programming time reduces firmware update cycle duration by >90% vs. legacy EPROMs |
| Integrated Product ID Code | Manufacturer (001Eh) and device (00F1h) codes enable automatic algorithm selection in production programmers |
| Two-Line Control Architecture | Independent CE and OE inputs allow precise timing control of output enable without affecting chip selection state |
| JEDEC-Standard Packages | 40-pin PDIP (40P6) footprint ensures drop-in replacement for AT27C516 and other 512K×8 EPROMs in existing sockets |
| High-Reliability Process | 200 mA latchup immunity and 2000 V ESD protection support operation in electrically noisy industrial environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C512-45PC | 512K × 8 organization (448 KB), 45 ns access, same 40-pin PDIP package | Half capacity; requires two devices for 64K × 16 data width; no integrated ID code | Select when legacy board layout mandates 512K × 8 pinout and firmware fits within 512K boundary |
| MX27C1024PC-45 | Pin-compatible 64K × 16 OTP EPROM, 45 ns, same 40-pin PDIP, but lacks Rapid™ programming and ID code | Requires longer programming time (≥500 µs/word); no automated programmer ID detection | Choose for cost-sensitive replacements where programming throughput and ID verification are noncritical |
Compared with AT27C1024-45JC, AT27C512-45PC delivers lower density at identical speed and package but demands dual-device interleave for 16-bit data paths, while MX27C1024PC-45 matches density and pinout but sacrifices Rapid™ programming efficiency and identification capability-making AT27C1024-45JC optimal for high-throughput production programming and traceable firmware deployment.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AT27C1024-45JC?
The AT27C1024-45JC is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C. This range is confirmed in the Ordering Information table, where the suffix "JI" denotes industrial grade, and the "JC" variant shares the same thermal specification. The device meets JEDEC JESD22-A108 reliability standards for this range, including 1000-hour high-temperature operating life testing.
Does the AT27C1024-45JC require a separate programming voltage during normal read operation?
No, the AT27C1024-45JC operates from a single 5V ±10% supply during read mode. VPP (13 V) is required only during programming and must be disconnected or held at VCC level during standby/read. The datasheet explicitly states "VPP may be connected directly to VCC, except during programming," confirming no high-voltage rail is needed for functional operation of AT27C1024-45JC in system runtime.
Can the AT27C1024-45JC be used as a direct replacement for the AT27C516 in existing designs?
Yes, the AT27C1024-45JC is positioned as a direct upgrade from the AT27C516 (512K × 8). Both share the same 40-pin PDIP package (40P6), 5V supply, and CE/OE control architecture. However, AT27C1024-45JC provides double the density (64K × 16 vs. 64K × 8) and requires no hardware changes if the host system supports 16-bit data bus width and A15 addressing.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable operation of the AT27C1024-45JC?
The AT27C1024-45JC requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC and GND, placed as close as possible to the device pins, per the System Considerations section. For boards with multiple EPROMs, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should also be added near the power entry point. These values are mandatory to suppress transient excursions during CE switching and ensure AT27C1024-45JC compliance with DC specifications.
How is the Integrated Product Identification Code accessed on the AT27C1024-45JC?
The AT27C1024-45JC ID code is accessed by setting A9 to 12.0 V (VID = 11.5–12.5 V) while holding A1–A15 low, then toggling A0: low selects the Manufacturer ID (001Eh), high selects the Device Code (00F1h). This occurs during special read mode with CE and OE both low, and is used by industry-standard programmers to auto-detect AT27C1024-45JC and load correct algorithms.
