Product details
Overview
AT27LV040A-90JC from Atmel is a 4-Mbit (512K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM with 90 ns read access time, dual-voltage operation (3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V), and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging. It delivers TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0 V and supports rapid programming at 100 µs/byte, making it suitable for battery-powered portable systems requiring low-power nonvolatile storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV040A-90JC datasheet, AT27LV040A-90JC pinout, AT27LV040A-90JC application, or AT27LV040A-90JC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 90 ns access time at 3.3 V, <1 µA typical standby current, JEDEC-compatibility with AT27C040, PLCC package mechanical footprint, and OTP reliability in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT27LV040A-90JC implements a CMOS-based OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE/OE), enabling bus contention avoidance in shared-memory systems. Its dual-supply design allows seamless integration into mixed-voltage platforms-operating at 3.3 V for low power or 5 V for legacy compatibility.
It features Rapid™ programming with 100 µs/byte typical pulse width, integrated product identification code (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x0B), and robust ESD protection (2,000 V) and latchup immunity (200 mA). Programming requires VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V, while read mode operates within strict 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4,194,304 bits (512K × 8), fixed OTP configuration - no rewrites, ideal for firmware boot code storage. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - enables direct interface with 10 MHz microcontrollers without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V - supports dual-voltage system designs and hot-plug compatibility across 3V/5V hosts. |
| Standby Current | 20 µA max (CMOS CE), <1 µA typical at 3.3 V - critical for battery-backed applications with extended sleep cycles. |
| Active Power Dissipation | 36 mW max at 5 MHz and VCC = 3.6 V - less than half the power of comparable 5V EPROMs, reducing thermal load. |
| Programming Speed | 100 µs/byte typical - accelerates production programming and reduces test time in high-volume manufacturing. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade) - validated for use in automotive control modules and industrial PLCs. |
Pinout & Package
AT27LV040A-90JC is housed in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-016 AE compliant, with 1.27 mm pitch and 1.20 mm max body height. The package is surface-mount compatible and designed for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 512K-word addressing; A0 least significant, A18 most significant. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus (output-only in read mode); TTL-compatible drive strength at 3.0 V. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; controls device activation and entry to standby mode when high. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; enables data bus drivers independently of CE for bus sharing. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply pin; must be applied simultaneously with or before VPP during programming. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 13.0 V ± 0.25 V input required only during programming; decoupled via 0.1 µF capacitor to ground. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-voltage read operation | Operates reliably at either 3.3 V (low power) or 5 V (legacy compatibility), eliminating level-shifter requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C040-90PC | 5V-only operation (4.5–5.5 V), no 3.3V support; identical 90 ns speed and PLCC-32 package. | Requires external 5V rail; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage systems. | Select when legacy 5V infrastructure is fixed and power efficiency is secondary. |
| MX29LV400CBTI-90G | Flash-based (reprogrammable), 3.0–3.6 V only, 48-pin TSOP; lacks VPP pin and OTP security model. | Enables firmware updates in-field but introduces erase-cycle wear-out and higher complexity. | Select when field-upgradable code is required and OTP immutability is not mandated. |
Compared with AT27C040-90PC, the AT27LV040A-90JC adds 3.3V operation and lower standby power; compared with MX29LV400CBTI-90G, it offers OTP tamper resistance and simpler programming infrastructure, at the cost of reprogrammability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for AT27LV040A-90JC during normal read operation?
The AT27LV040A-90JC supports two distinct read voltage ranges: 3.0 V to 3.6 V for low-power operation, and 4.5 V to 5.5 V for standard 5V compatibility. Operation outside these ranges - including at exactly 3.7 V or 4.4 V - is not specified and may result in unreliable timing or data integrity. The AT27LV040A-90JC must not be operated at intermediate voltages between the two defined bands.
Does AT27LV040A-90JC require a separate programming voltage supply?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90JC requires VPP = 13.0 V ± 0.25 V applied to the dedicated VPP pin during programming. This voltage is strictly isolated from VCC during programming; VCC must be set to 6.5 V ± 0.25 V. During normal read operation, VPP is tied to VCC. The AT27LV040A-90JC datasheet mandates a 0.1 µF capacitor between VPP and GND to suppress transients.
Is AT27LV040A-90JC pin-compatible with AT27C040-90PC?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90JC is pin-compatible and functionally equivalent to AT27C040-90PC in PLCC-32 packaging, including identical pinout, signal definitions, and timing behavior at 5V. However, the AT27LV040A-90JC adds 3.3V operation and lower power consumption - no PCB changes are needed for substitution in existing AT27C040-90PC layouts.
What is the purpose of the Integrated Product Identification Code in AT27LV040A-90JC?
The Integrated Product Identification Code in the AT27LV040A-90JC provides electronic manufacturer (0x1E) and device type (0x0B) codes readable via A9 and A0 pins under specific voltage conditions. This allows universal programmers to auto-detect the AT27LV040A-90JC and select correct algorithms and voltages - eliminating manual part selection errors during high-volume programming.
Can AT27LV040A-90JC operate reliably at 3.0 V with full 90 ns access time?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90JC guarantees 90 ns maximum access time across its entire 3.0–3.6 V supply range, including at the minimum 3.0 V rail. This is confirmed in the AC Characteristics table for AT27LV040A-90 devices. The AT27LV040A-90JC maintains TTL-level output compatibility even at 3.0 V, ensuring interoperability with 5V logic families without level shifters.
