Product details
Overview
AT27C1024-70PI 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 maximum read access time and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It uses PDIP-40 packaging, features dual-line control (CE/OE), and serves as firmware storage in legacy microprocessor systems requiring non-volatile, pin-compatible ROM replacement.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C1024-70PI datasheet, AT27C1024-70PI pinout, AT27C1024-70PI application, or AT27C1024-70PI equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated PDIP-40 pin mapping, confirmed OTP programming behavior, JEDEC-compliant timing modes, and real-world use cases in embedded boot memory and industrial controller firmware storage.
Technical Context
The AT27C1024-70PI implements a CMOS-based OTP EPROM architecture with address decoding for A0–A15, 16-bit bidirectional data outputs (O0–O15), and dedicated programming control via PGM and VPP (12.0 V ±0.5 V during programming). Its two-line enable scheme (CE active-low, OE active-low) eliminates bus contention in high-speed 16-bit bus systems.
It supports Rapid™ programming with 100 µs/word typical pulse width, integrated product identification (Manufacturer ID: 001Eh, Device ID: 00F1h), and operates in five distinct modes: Read, Output Disable, Standby, Rapid Program, and Product Identification - all defined by specific CE/OE/PGM voltage combinations and VPP state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,048,576 bits (64K × 16), enabling full 16-bit word access without byte splitting |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns max (tACC), eliminating WAIT states in 14 MHz CPU interfaces |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%, compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C, qualified for industrial control and factory automation environments |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 12.0 V ±0.5 V, requiring external high-voltage supply during one-time programming only |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max (ISB1), reducing system power in idle states without external gating |
| Active Current | 30 mA max at 5 MHz, supporting sustained burst reads in real-time firmware execution |
Pinout & Package
AT27C1024-70PI is supplied in a 40-lead, 0.600" wide plastic dual in-line package (PDIP-40), JEDEC MS-011 AC compliant, with 0.100" lead pitch and through-hole mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1–10, 19–20, 22–40 | A0–A15, O0–O15, CE, OE, PGM, VPP, VCC, GND, NC | Standardized JEDEC PDIP-40 pinout per datasheet Rev. 0019J–07/98; both GND pins (11 & 22) must be connected for EMI and current return integrity |
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; latched on CE low for memory location selection |
| O0–O15 | Data Outputs | True 16-bit parallel output bus; high-impedance when CE or OE high |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; enables internal circuitry and address decoding when low |
| OE | Output Enable | Gates output drivers; allows shared bus operation with other devices when high |
| PGM | Program Strobe | Active-low pulse input that triggers 100 µs programming cycle when VPP = 12 V |
| VPP | Programming Supply | 12 V input required only during programming; must be applied after and removed before VCC |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5 V main supply; powers read and standby modes; supplies internal logic and drivers |
| GND (Pins 11 & 22) | Ground Reference | Dual ground pins reduce ground bounce and improve noise immunity in high-speed reads |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/word typical programming time with auto-verify loop, reducing production burn-in duration |

| Two-Line Control Architecture | Independent CE and OE inputs allow flexible bus arbitration and eliminate contention in multi-device systems |
| JEDEC-Compliant Packaging | Available in PDIP-40, PLCC-44, and VSOP-40 footprints - AT27C1024-70PI uses PDIP-40 for legacy board compatibility |
| ESD & Latchup Robustness | 2000 V HBM ESD rating and 200 mA latchup immunity ensure reliability in manual handling and industrial environments |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C1024-70JI | Same die, identical 70 ns speed grade and 64K×16 organization, but packaged in PLCC-44 instead of PDIP-40 | Requires PCB redesign for surface-mount assembly; lacks through-hole mounting and socket compatibility | Select only when upgrading to surface-mount layout and needing same timing/performance in compact footprint |
| AM27C1024-70DC | AMD second-source part; matches AC/DC specs and pinout, but lacks Integrated Product ID Code and Rapid™ programming verification sequence | Compatible in read mode; requires modified programming algorithm and verification flow in production | Choose for cost-sensitive volume builds where ID code and auto-verify are not required in manufacturing test |
Compared with AT27C1024-70PI, the AT27C1024-70JI offers identical functionality in PLCC-44 for SMT layouts, while AM27C1024-70DC provides pin-compatible read operation but omits programmable ID and rapid verify - making AT27C1024-70PI optimal for legacy through-hole systems requiring full Atmel feature set.

FAQ
What is the correct power-up sequencing for AT27C1024-70PI?
VCC must be applied simultaneously with or before VPP, and removed simultaneously with or after VPP. Violating this sequence risks exceeding absolute maximum ratings on A9 or VPP pins. During normal read operation, VPP is tied to VCC; only during programming is VPP raised to 12.0 V ±0.5 V. The AT27C1024-70PI datasheet specifies this requirement in Section "System Considerations" and "Absolute Maximum Ratings".
Does AT27C1024-70PI support byte-wide access, or is it strictly 16-bit?
The AT27C1024-70PI is strictly organized as 64K × 16 bits - it has no byte-enable or upper/lower word select pins. All 16 outputs (O0–O15) are driven simultaneously on each read cycle. Systems requiring byte access must implement external logic or use the full 16-bit bus width; no internal byte masking is supported in the AT27C1024-70PI.
Can AT27C1024-70PI be reprogrammed after initial programming?
No - AT27C1024-70PI is a one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM. Once a memory cell is programmed (fused), it cannot be erased or rewritten. The "Rapid™ Programming Algorithm" refers to efficient single-pass programming with verification, not reprogrammability. AT27C1024-70PI is intended for final firmware images only.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable AT27C1024-70PI operation?
Per the AT27C1024-70PI datasheet, a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor must be placed between VCC and GND, as close as possible to the device. For boards with multiple EPROMs, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should also be added near the power entry point. These values prevent transient excursions during CE transitions and ensure stable read timing.
How is the Manufacturer and Device ID read from AT27C1024-70PI?
The AT27C1024-70PI supports electronic identification: hold A1–A15 low, apply VID = 12.0 V ±0.5 V to A9, then toggle A0 - low selects Manufacturer ID (001Eh), high selects Device ID (00F1h). This function operates in Read mode with CE and OE low, and is used by programmers to auto-detect part identity before programming the AT27C1024-70PI.
