Product details
Overview
AT27C1024-70JU from Atmel is a 1,048,576-bit (64K × 16) one-time programmable EPROM optimized for high-performance 16-/32-bit microprocessor systems. It delivers 70 ns read access time, operates on a single 5V ±10% supply, and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in a 44-lead PLCC package.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C1024-70JU datasheet, AT27C1024-70JU pinout, AT27C1024-70JU application, or AT27C1024-70JU equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 70 ns tACC timing, CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O, rapid 100 µs/word programming, dual-line control (CE/OE), and JEDEC-standard PLCC packaging with integrated product identification code.
Technical Context
The AT27C1024-70JU implements a two-line enable architecture (CE and OE) to eliminate bus contention in high-speed systems. Its x16 data bus organization enables direct interfacing with 16-bit processors without byte-lane multiplexing or glue logic.
It features rapid programming with 100 µs/word typical pulse width at VPP = 13.0 V and VCC = 6.5 V, followed by verify-reprogram loops per address. Product identification is accessed via A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggling, returning manufacturer (001Eh) and device code (00F1h) words.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C512-70PU | 512K-bit (64K × 8), PDIP-28, 70 ns tACC, same VCC/VPP specs | Requires external byte-wide data bus interface; lacks x16 native support for 16-bit CPUs | Select when system uses 8-bit data path or space-constrained PCB layout favors smaller PDIP |
| MX27C1024-70PC | Same 1M-bit (64K × 16), PDIP-40, 70 ns tACC, but no integrated ID code or rapid programming algorithm | Requires manual algorithm selection in programmers; no A9-based ID verification | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automated programming benefits and PLCC footprint is unavailable |
Compared with AT27C1024-70JU, AT27C512-70PU offers lower density and narrower bus width, increasing interface complexity for 16-bit systems, while MX27C1024-70PC matches capacity and speed but omits critical production features like ID code and rapid programming-reducing programming yield and traceability in volume manufacturing.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for the AT27C1024-70JU?
The AT27C1024-70JU has a maximum read access time (tACC) of 70 ns under standard operating conditions (VCC = 5V ±10%, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This value is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range and applies when both CE and OE are asserted low. The 70 ns specification enables direct interfacing with 10–14 MHz microprocessor buses without WAIT-state insertion, preserving deterministic timing in real-time control applications.
Does the AT27C1024-70JU require a separate programming voltage during normal operation?
No, the AT27C1024-70JU does not require VPP during normal read operation. VPP = 13.0 V ±0.25 V is needed exclusively during programming; in read mode, only VCC = 5V ±10% is required. The device includes internal logic that isolates VPP from the core array during read cycles, preventing unintended writes. During standby, VPP may be tied to VCC (5 V) with only minor increase in ISB, simplifying power design for systems where programming occurs off-board.
How is the integrated product identification code accessed on the AT27C1024-70JU?
The integrated product identification code on the AT27C1024-70JU is accessed by setting A9 to 12.0 V (VID = 11.5–12.5 V) while holding A1–A15 low, then toggling A0: low (VIL) returns the manufacturer ID (001Eh), and high (VIH) returns the device code (00F1h). This feature is used by industry-standard programmers to auto-detect the AT27C1024-70JU and select correct algorithms and voltages-eliminating manual part selection errors during high-volume production programming.
What are the mandatory decoupling requirements for stable operation of the AT27C1024-70JU?
Each AT27C1024-70JU requires a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to the device pins. For systems with multiple AT27C1024-70JU devices or large EPROM arrays, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor must also be connected between VCC and GND near the main power entry point. These capacitors suppress transient voltage excursions during CE transitions and stabilize supply rail integrity-preventing nonconformance due to undershoot/overshoot exceeding absolute maximum ratings.
Is the AT27C1024-70JU pin-compatible with earlier Atmel EPROMs such as the AT27C516?
Yes, the AT27C1024-70JU is a direct upgrade from the AT27C516 (512K-bit) in terms of pinout, signal definitions, and control protocol-but not pin-to-pin compatible due to increased pin count (44 vs. 40 leads) and expanded address bus (A0–A15 vs. A0–A14). The AT27C1024-70JU retains identical CE/OE/PGM functionality and x16 data bus structure, allowing straightforward migration in 16-bit systems with board layout revision to accommodate the 44-lead PLCC package.
