Product details
Overview
AT27C512R-70JU from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 64K × 8-bit one-time programmable EPROM with 45ns read access time, 5V ±10% supply, and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging. It serves as nonvolatile firmware storage in microprocessor systems, enabling direct byte-access without wait states in industrial control and embedded boot applications.
For engineers reviewing the AT27C512R-70JU datasheet, AT27C512R-70JU pinout, AT27C512R-70JU application, or AT27C512R-70JU equivalent, key selection criteria include read timing (tACC = 70ns), standby current (ISB1 ≤ 100µA), industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and dual-mode OE/VPP pin functionality for programming and output enable.
Technical Context
The AT27C512R-70JU implements a CMOS-based OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE and OE/VPP) to prevent bus contention during read cycles. Its address decoding supports full 16-bit A0–A15 mapping, and outputs O0–O7 are TTL/CMOS-compatible with VOH ≥ 2.4V at –400µA and VOL ≤ 0.4V at 2.1mA.
During rapid programming, the device uses a 100µs CE pulse width with VCC = 6.5V and OE/VPP = 13.0V to achieve typical 100µs/byte write speed. The integrated product identification code (manufacturer ID = 0x1E, device ID = 0x0D) enables automatic algorithm selection in industry-standard programmers.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for the AT27C512R-70JU?
The AT27C512R-70JU has a maximum address-to-output delay (tACC) of 70ns under industrial temperature and voltage conditions. This value is measured with CE and OE/VPP both asserted low, CL = 100pF, and applies specifically to the -70 speed grade. The AT27C512R-70JU meets this specification across its full operating range of –40°C to +85°C and 5V ±10% supply.
Does the AT27C512R-70JU support in-system programming?
No, the AT27C512R-70JU does not support in-system programming. It is a one-time programmable EPROM requiring UV-erasure prevention and external high-voltage (13.0V) programming via the OE/VPP pin in a dedicated programmer. Programming must occur before soldering, as the AT27C512R-70JU lacks internal charge pumps or ISP circuitry.
What is the function of the OE/VPP pin on the AT27C512R-70JU?
The OE/VPP pin on the AT27C512R-70JU serves two distinct functions: during normal read operation, it acts as output enable (active-low); during programming, it supplies the 13.0V VPP programming voltage. The AT27C512R-70JU uses this dual-role pin to reduce package count while maintaining compatibility with standard EPROM programmers that generate VPP externally.
Can the AT27C512R-70JU operate with a 3.3V supply?
No, the AT27C512R-70JU requires a 5V ±10% supply and is not rated for 3.3V operation. Its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.8V), output drive strength (VOH ≥ 2.4V at –400µA), and internal logic are designed exclusively for 5V TTL/CMOS systems. Using 3.3V will result in undefined behavior, failed reads, and potential damage during programming due to insufficient VPP headroom.
Is the AT27C512R-70JU RoHS compliant?
Yes, the AT27C512R-70JU is RoHS compliant as a green (Pb/halide-free) packaged device. The "JU" suffix explicitly denotes the 32-lead PLCC package with matte tin lead finish meeting Directive 2011/65/EU. This compliance is documented in Atmel's ordering information table and verified through Microchip's material declarations for the AT27C512R-70JU.
