Product details
Overview
AT27C1024-70JU-T from Atmel is a 1,048,576-bit (64K × 16) one-time programmable EPROM optimized for 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-T datasheet, AT27C1024-70JU-T pinout, AT27C1024-70JU-T application, or AT27C1024-70JU-T equivalent, key selection criteria include fast x16 parallel read timing, rapid 100 µs/word programming, CMOS/TTL compatibility, integrated product identification code, and dual-line control (CE/OE) for bus contention avoidance in high-speed embedded firmware storage.
Technical Context
The AT27C1024-70JU-T implements a two-control-line interface (CE and OE) enabling precise output gating and eliminating bus contention during read cycles. Its x16 data bus architecture directly interfaces with 16-bit address/data buses without external multiplexing or wait-state insertion.
It features rapid programming with 100 µs/word pulse width at VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V, verified per address via iterative reprogramming up to 10 pulses. Product identification is accessed by asserting A9 at 12.0 V while toggling A0 - a hardware-level device-manufacturer code readout used by industry-standard programmers.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT27C1024-70JU-T is packaged in a 44-lead plastic J-leaded chip carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-018 compliant, with 16 address inputs (A0–A15), 16 bidirectional data outputs (O0–O15), dual enable controls (CE, OE), program strobe (PGM), high-voltage programming supply (VPP), and dual ground pins requiring connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; selects one of 64K memory locations for read or program access |
| O0–O15 | Data outputs | 16-bit parallel data bus; driven only when CE = OE = low; high-impedance otherwise |
| CE | Chip enable | Primary device select; must be low for read or program operations; disables outputs when high |
| OE | Output enable | Secondary gating signal; controls output driver activation independently of CE to manage bus contention |
| PGM | Program strobe | Active-low pulse input that triggers 100 µs programming cycle when VPP is asserted and CE is low |
| VPP | Programming voltage | 12.0 V ±0.5 V input required only during programming; must be applied simultaneously with or after VCC |
| NC | No connect | Unbonded pins (positions 3, 19, 20, 32, 41); must remain unconnected per design |

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) capacity; 40-pin PDIP only; no VPP pin - uses internal charge pump for programming | Supports 8-bit data buses only; lacks x16 interface and PLCC option; lower density limits firmware complexity | Select when system uses 8-bit microcontrollers and board layout constraints favor DIP packages |
| MX27C1024PC-70 | Same 64K × 16 organization and 70 ns speed; 44-pin PLCC; requires external 12.5 V VPP; identical pinout and AC timing | Drop-in replacement in most designs; same industrial temp grade and programming algorithm; minor differences in ID code structure | Preferred for second-source assurance where Atmel supply continuity is a concern; verified pin-compatible with AT27C1024-70JU-T |
Compared with AT27C1024-70JU-T, AT27C512-70PU offers lower density and narrower bus width, limiting use in modern 16-bit systems, while MX27C1024PC-70 provides true pin-to-pin compatibility and identical timing - making it the strongest functional alternative for footprint-constrained industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for the AT27C1024-70JU-T?
The AT27C1024-70JU-T has a maximum read access time of 70 ns under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +85°C) and 5 V ±10% supply, measured as tACC (address to output delay) with CE and OE both asserted low. This value is guaranteed across the full operating range and eliminates the need for WAIT states in 5 MHz bus systems. The AT27C1024-70JU-T achieves this performance using a dedicated x16 parallel architecture and optimized CMOS decoding.
Does the AT27C1024-70JU-T require a separate programming voltage, and if so, what is its specification?
Yes, the AT27C1024-70JU-T requires a dedicated programming voltage (VPP) of 12.0 V ±0.5 V applied to pin 31 during programming. This voltage must be applied simultaneously with or after VCC and removed simultaneously with or before VCC. VPP is not used during normal read operation. The AT27C1024-70JU-T relies on this external high-voltage source to enable Fowler-Nordheim tunneling for OTP cell programming, and its absence prevents any write or verify activity.
Can the AT27C1024-70JU-T be used in automotive applications?
The AT27C1024-70JU-T is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and is not qualified for automotive AEC-Q100 standards. While it may function in some under-dash environments, Atmel's official documentation explicitly states that its products are "not intended, authorized, or warranted for use as components in applications intended to support or sustain life" or in automotive contexts unless specifically designated. For automotive use, designers should select AEC-Q100-qualified alternatives instead of the AT27C1024-70JU-T.
How does the integrated product identification code work in the AT27C1024-70JU-T?
The AT27C1024-70JU-T embeds a manufacturer ID (001Eh) and device ID (00F1h) accessible via hardware-level signaling: A9 is driven to 12.0 V (VH), while A0 is toggled between low and high to select either code. This feature enables universal programmers to auto-detect the part and load correct algorithms and voltages. The AT27C1024-70JU-T uses this mechanism exclusively - no software command or serial interface is involved.
What are the power consumption characteristics of the AT27C1024-70JU-T in standby and active modes?
In standby mode (CE high), the AT27C1024-70JU-T draws ≤100 µA maximum VCC current, with typical consumption below 10 µA. In active read mode at 5 MHz, it draws ≤30 mA maximum ICC, with typical draw around 15 mA. These values assume VPP = VCC during standby and proper decoupling (0.1 µF ceramic + 4.7 µF bulk capacitor). The AT27C1024-70JU-T achieves low standby current through deep CMOS sleep gating, making it suitable for intermittently powered systems.
