Product details
Overview
AT27C1024-90JC from Atmel is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) one-time programmable EPROM with 90 ns read access time, 5V ±10% supply operation, and dual-line control (CE/OE) for bus contention avoidance in 16-/32-bit microprocessor systems. It features Rapid™ programming at 100 µs/word and supports commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C).
For engineers reviewing the AT27C1024-90JC datasheet, AT27C1024-90JC pinout, AT27C1024-90JC application, or AT27C1024-90JC equivalent, this OTP EPROM delivers deterministic timing, CMOS/TTL compatibility, integrated product identification, and JEDEC-standard PDIP packaging - critical for legacy firmware storage, boot ROM, and industrial controller memory upgrades.
Technical Context
The AT27C1024-90JC implements a 64K-word × 16-bit OTP memory array with address decoding for A0–A15 and bidirectional data I/O on O0–O15. Its two-line enable architecture (CE active-low, OE active-low) enables precise output gating without bus contention during high-speed read cycles.
Programming requires VPP = 13.0 V ±0.25 V and VCC = 6.5 V ±0.25 V, with a 100 µs PGM pulse width and verification loop per word. Product identification uses A9 voltage sensing (12.0 V ±0.5 V) and A0 toggling to select manufacturer or device code words.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for the AT27C1024-90JC?
The AT27C1024-90JC has a maximum read access time of 90 ns under standard conditions (VCC = 5 V ±10%, TA = 0°C to 70°C). This value is guaranteed across the commercial temperature range and applies to both CE- and OE-controlled access paths, ensuring predictable timing in synchronous bus interfaces without added wait states.
Does the AT27C1024-90JC require a high-voltage supply during normal operation?
No - the AT27C1024-90JC operates from a single 5 V ±10% supply during read mode. The VPP pin (13.0 V ±0.25 V) is required only during programming and must be disconnected or held at VCC during normal read operation. Applying VPP during read may increase standby current and risk noncompliance with absolute maximum ratings.
Can the AT27C1024-90JC be used as a direct replacement for the AT27C516 EPROM?
Yes - the AT27C1024-90JC is explicitly designed as a direct upgrade from the AT27C516 (512K × 8). It maintains identical pinout, control signaling (CE/OE), and 5 V operation while doubling density to 64K × 16. No PCB changes are needed, though software must accommodate the wider 16-bit data bus and expanded address space.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable operation of the AT27C1024-90JC?
The AT27C1024-90JC requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to the device pins. For systems with multiple EPROMs, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should also be added near the power entry point to suppress array-level supply droop during simultaneous output transitions.
How is the product identification code read from the AT27C1024-90JC?
The AT27C1024-90JC identification code is accessed by setting A9 to 12.0 V ±0.5 V (VID), holding A1–A15 low, and toggling A0: low selects the Manufacturer ID (001Eh), high selects the Device Code (00F1h). Outputs O15–O0 reflect the 16-bit code, readable during standard read mode with CE and OE asserted.
