Product details
Overview
AT27C1024-70JC from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) one-time programmable EPROM in 40-lead PDIP package, featuring 70 ns read access time, 5V ±10% supply, and dual-line control (CE/OE) for bus contention avoidance. It serves as firmware storage in 16-/32-bit microprocessor systems requiring nonvolatile, pin-compatible upgrade from AT27C516.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C1024-70JC datasheet, AT27C1024-70JC pinout, AT27C1024-70JC application, or AT27C1024-70JC equivalent, key selection factors include verified 70 ns tACC timing, VPP-programming compatibility at 12.0 V ±0.5 V, GND pin pairing requirement, and JEDEC-standard PDIP mechanical footprint.
Technical Context
The AT27C1024-70JC implements a CMOS OTP EPROM architecture with address decoding for A0–A15 and 16-bit bidirectional data outputs O0–O15. Its two-line enable logic (CE active-low, OE active-low) enables high-speed read operation without bus contention, while PGM and VPP pins support rapid 100 µs/word programming under 13.0 V ±0.25 V.
It integrates product identification via A9 voltage sensing (11.5–12.5 V) and A0 toggling to select manufacturer/device codes, and includes ESD protection (2000 V) and latchup immunity (200 mA), meeting commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) requirements with 100 µA max standby current.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C1024-70PC | Same die, identical timing and programming specs; differs only in PDIP lead finish (matte tin vs. hot-solder dipped) | Identical functional use; matte tin preferred for RoHS-compliant reflow, while hot-solder dipped suits wave soldering | Select AT27C1024-70PC if lead-free assembly is required; AT27C1024-70JC remains optimal for legacy through-hole production. |

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable VPP voltage for programming the AT27C1024-70JC?
The AT27C1024-70JC requires VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V during programming, with absolute maximum rating of +14.0 V. Exceeding 12.5 V risks permanent damage to the oxide layer; programming equipment must regulate VPP tightly and sequence it after VCC application. The AT27C1024-70JC datasheet specifies VID = 11.5–12.5 V for product identification, confirming this voltage window is fundamental to its OTP operation.
Does the AT27C1024-70JC support read operations while VPP is connected to VCC?
Yes - the AT27C1024-70JC supports normal read mode with VPP tied to VCC (5 V), as confirmed by ISB1/ISB2 standby current specs and AC read timing tables. However, VPP must be raised to 12.0 V ±0.5 V only during programming; leaving it at 5 V during read ensures no unintended program disturb and matches the "VPP = VCC" condition used in ICC and ISB characterization.
How many GND connections does the AT27C1024-70JC require, and why?
The AT27C1024-70JC requires two dedicated GND connections: Pin 10 and Pin 24 on the 40-lead PDIP package. This dual-ground design reduces ground impedance, minimizes noise coupling between address and data paths, and ensures stable operation under fast switching conditions - a requirement explicitly stated in the "Pin Configurations" section and reinforced by ESD/latchup immunity specs.
Can the AT27C1024-70JC be used as a direct replacement for AT27C516 in existing designs?
Yes - the AT27C1024-70JC is documented as a direct upgrade from the 512K AT27C516, sharing identical pinout, voltage levels, and control signaling (CE/OE/PGM). Its 64K × 16 organization doubles capacity while maintaining backward compatibility; no PCB changes are needed beyond verifying VPP sequencing and adding the extra address lines (A16–A15 are unused in AT27C516 but fully supported here).
What is the purpose of the NC pin on the AT27C1024-70JC PDIP package?
Pin 22 on the AT27C1024-70JC PDIP package is designated NC (No Connect) and must remain unconnected - neither grounded nor tied to VCC. This pin corresponds to a non-bonded die pad and has no internal circuit connection; routing or soldering to it may cause parasitic coupling or violate JEDEC mechanical clearance rules, potentially impacting timing or reliability.
