Product details
Overview
AT27C1024-70JI from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 1-Mbit one-time programmable EPROM organized as 64K × 16 bits, operating at 5V ±10%, with 70 ns read access time and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features dual-line control (CE/OE), rapid programming (100 µs/word), and integrated product identification code for automated programming equipment. Used in firmware storage for 16-/32-bit microprocessor systems requiring nonvolatile, pin-compatible legacy memory replacement.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C1024-70JI datasheet, AT27C1024-70JI pinout, AT27C1024-70JI application, or AT27C1024-70JI equivalent, key selection criteria include 40-pin PDIP package compatibility, 5V-only read operation, standby current ≤100 µA, and support for JEDEC-standard programming algorithms with VPP = 12.0 V during programming.
Technical Context
The AT27C1024-70JI implements a CMOS OTP EPROM architecture with address decoding for A0–A15, 16-bit bidirectional data outputs (O0–O15), and two independent enable controls (CE and OE) to prevent bus contention. Its Rapid™ programming algorithm uses precise 100 µs PGM pulses at VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V, with verification loops per word.
It supports product identification via A9 high-voltage sensing (11.5–12.5 V) and A0 toggling to select manufacturer ID (001Eh) or device code (00F1h). All GND pins must be connected, and decoupling requires both 0.1 µF ceramic (per device) and 4.7 µF bulk capacitors on VCC–GND.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT27C1024-70JI is supplied in a 40-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual inline package (PDIP), JEDEC MS-011 AC compliant. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or dot; both GND pins (pins 11 and 28) must be connected to system ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; latched internally on CE/OE assertion to select one of 64K words. |
| O0–O15 | Data Outputs | True TTL/CMOS-compatible 16-bit data bus; high-impedance when OE or CE is inactive. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global chip select; enables internal circuitry and output drivers only when asserted. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; allows shared bus operation without disabling CE or changing address. |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input (100 µs width) that initiates programming of the addressed word under VPP bias. |
| VPP | Programming Supply | 12.0 V input required only during programming; must be applied after and removed before VCC. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 22 is unconnected; must remain floating - no external tie or pull-up/down. |
| VCC / GND | Power / Ground | Single 5 V supply; dual GND pins (11, 28) reduce ground bounce and improve noise immunity. |

FAQ
What is the correct power-up sequence for AT27C1024-70JI during programming?
VCC must be applied simultaneously with or before VPP, and removed simultaneously with or after VPP. During programming, VCC = 6.5 V ±0.25 V and VPP = 13.0 V ±0.25 V are required. Failure to follow this sequence risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings and may cause permanent damage to the AT27C1024-70JI.
Can AT27C1024-70JI operate from a single 5 V supply in all modes?
Yes - AT27C1024-70JI operates from a single 5 V ±10% supply in read and standby modes. However, programming requires elevated VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V and temporarily increased VCC = 6.5 V, so a dual-supply programmer is mandatory. The AT27C1024-70JI does not support in-system programming with 5 V only.
How is the product identification code read from AT27C1024-70JI?
To read the identification code, hold all address lines A1–A15 low, set A9 to 11.5–12.5 V (VID), and toggle A0: low selects Manufacturer ID (001Eh), high selects Device Code (00F1h). Outputs O0–O15 reflect the 16-bit code. This function works only with VCC = 5 V and VPP = VCC - no programming voltage needed for ID read. The AT27C1024-70JI supports this feature in standard read mode.
Does AT27C1024-70JI require external decoupling capacitors, and if so, what values?
Yes - AT27C1024-70JI requires two decoupling capacitors: a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND as close as possible to pins 20 and 11/28, and a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point of the EPROM array. These suppress transient excursions during CE transitions and stabilize VCC under rapid current draw, preventing non-conformance per the AT27C1024-70JI datasheet.
Is AT27C1024-70JI pin-compatible with AT27C516, and what are the key migration considerations?
Yes - AT27C1024-70JI is a direct upgrade from AT27C516 (512 Kbit), sharing identical 40-pin PDIP pinout, CE/OE control scheme, and programming methodology. Migration requires only doubling address lines (A15 added), updating firmware image size to 64K × 16, and verifying VPP timing compliance. No PCB changes are needed, making the AT27C1024-70JI a seamless capacity upgrade path.
