Product details
Overview
AT27LV020A-15TI from Atmel is a 2-Mbit (256K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM optimized for low-voltage battery-powered systems, featuring 150 ns read access time at 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V, dual-voltage operation, and JEDEC-standard PLCC/TSOP/VSOP packaging. It serves as nonvolatile program storage in embedded controllers, legacy BIOS modules, and industrial firmware loaders.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV020A-15TI datasheet, AT27LV020A-15TI pinout, AT27LV020A-15TI application, or AT27LV020A-15TI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 ns tACC timing grade, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), 32-pin TSOP package, and compatibility with standard 5V AT27C020 programming infrastructure.
Technical Context
The AT27LV020A-15TI implements a CMOS OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE/OE), supporting both 3.3 V and 5 V logic-level interfaces. Its Rapid™ Programming Algorithm enables 100 µs/byte typical programming with VPP = 13.0 V and VCC = 6.5 V, while maintaining TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0 V supply.
It features integrated product identification (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x86), 2,000 V ESD protection, and latchup immunity of 200 mA. Standby current is specified at ≤20 µA (CMOS mode) and ≤100 µA (TTL mode) under industrial conditions, enabling ultra-low-power retention in portable systems.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C020-15JC | 5 V only operation (4.5–5.5 V); no 3.3 V support; identical 150 ns speed and 32-pin PLCC package. | Requires separate 5 V rail; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage systems. | Select when legacy 5 V infrastructure is fixed and low-voltage operation is unnecessary. |
| MX29LV020TC-15 | 3 V-only flash memory (not OTP); supports erase/rewrite; 150 ns access; 32-pin TSOP package. | Enables field firmware updates; higher endurance but greater complexity in programming and wear management. | Select when reprogrammability is required and flash write-cycle overhead is acceptable. |
Compared with AT27C020-15JC, the AT27LV020A-15TI adds 3.3 V operation and lower standby power but retains identical timing and pinout; versus MX29LV020TC-15, it trades reprogrammability for simpler programming infrastructure and guaranteed data retention without wear leveling.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for AT27LV020A-15TI?
The AT27LV020A-15TI has a maximum address-to-output delay (tACC) of 150 ns under both 3.0–3.6 V and 4.5–5.5 V supply conditions, as confirmed in the AC Characteristics table for the -15 speed grade. This value applies across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and defines the worst-case timing margin for synchronous bus interfacing.
Does AT27LV020A-15TI support true 3.3 V operation with TTL-compatible outputs?
Yes, the AT27LV020A-15TI produces TTL-level outputs (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) when powered at VCC = 3.0 V, meeting LVTTL voltage thresholds and ensuring interoperability with standard 5 V TTL logic without level translation. This behavior is explicitly verified in the DC Operating Characteristics section.
What programming voltage and sequence are required for AT27LV020A-15TI?
The AT27LV020A-15TI requires VPP = 13.0 V ± 0.25 V and VCC = 6.5 V ± 0.25 V during programming, with VCC applied simultaneously with or before VPP and removed simultaneously with or after VPP. A 0.1 µF capacitor must be placed between VPP and GND to suppress transients, per the Programming Waveforms section.
Is AT27LV020A-15TI pin-compatible with AT27C020?
Yes, the AT27LV020A-15TI shares identical pin functions, pin count (32), and JEDEC-standard pinout with AT27C020, including A0–A17, O0–O7, CE, OE, PGM, VPP, VCC, and GND assignments. The datasheet confirms compatibility with AT27C020 programming equipment and socket footprints.
What is the standby current specification for AT27LV020A-15TI at 3.6 V?
The AT27LV020A-15TI specifies a maximum VCC standby current (ISB1) of 20 µA at VCC = 3.6 V and industrial temperature (−40°C to +85°C), with typical consumption below 1 µA. This value is measured with CE = VCC ± 0.3 V and reflects CMOS-mode quiescent draw during firmware retention.
