Product details
Overview
AT27LV040A-90JI 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 industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It features CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O, 20 µA max standby current at 3.6 V, and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging - ideal for battery-powered portable systems requiring low-power nonvolatile storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV040A-90JI datasheet, AT27LV040A-90JI pinout, AT27LV040A-90JI application, or AT27LV040A-90JI equivalent, key selection criteria include fast 90 ns read timing under 3.3 V, dual-supply compatibility for legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V designs, industrial-grade reliability, and OTP programmability without UV erasure.
Technical Context
The AT27LV040A-90JI implements a single-supply OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE/OE), enabling bus contention avoidance in multi-device memory systems. Its Rapid™ programming algorithm achieves 100 µs/byte typical write speed using 13.0 V VPP and 6.5 V VCC during programming.
It supports product identification via A9 high-voltage (12.0 V) and A0 toggle sequencing, delivering manufacturer code 0x1E and device code 0x0B. Input/output levels meet LVTTL standards, and outputs remain TTL-compatible even at 3.0 V VCC - critical for mixed-voltage system interfacing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4,194,304-bit (512K × 8) OTP EPROM - fixed, non-erasable storage for firmware boot code or configuration data. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 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 design and backward compatibility with 5 V legacy hosts. |
| Standby Current | 20 µA max at VCC = 3.6 V - reduces quiescent power in always-on embedded systems by >50× vs. standard 5 V EPROMs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor drives, PLCs, and outdoor instrumentation. |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 13.0 ± 0.25 V, VCC = 6.5 ± 0.25 V - requires dedicated programming hardware; not field-reprogrammable in-system. |
| ESD/Latchup | 2,000 V HBM ESD protection; 200 mA latchup immunity - ensures robustness during handling and board assembly. |
Pinout & Package
AT27LV040A-90JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016 AE, with lead pitch of 1.27 mm and body size 18.5 × 18.5 mm. Pin 1 is marked by index notch and corner chamfer.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 512K-word addressing; TTL/CMOS compatible with VIH ≥ 2.0 V. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = −2.0 mA ensures reliable logic-high drive into TTL loads. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device activation and entry to standby mode when high (VIH ≥ 2.0 V). |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; allows output tri-state control independent of CE for bus sharing. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input; must be applied simultaneously with or before VPP during programming. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 13.0 V programming supply; requires external 0.1 µF capacitor to ground to suppress transients during pulse application. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; decoupling capacitors (0.1 µF ceramic + 4.7 µF bulk) required per datasheet layout guidance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/byte typical programming time - cuts firmware update cycles significantly versus conventional EPROMs. |
| Integrated Product ID Code | Manufacturer ID 0x1E and Device ID 0x0B readable via A9/VH + A0 toggle - enables automatic algorithm selection in production programmers. |
| Dual-Voltage Read Operation | Valid operation at 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V - eliminates level-shifting in hybrid voltage systems and simplifies board power architecture. |
| TTL-Compatible Outputs at 3.0 V | VOH ≥ 2.4 V at VCC = 3.0 V - directly interfaces with 5 V TTL logic without translators, reducing BOM count and signal integrity risk. |
| JEDEC-Standard Packaging | 32J PLCC footprint - ensures drop-in replacement capability and compatibility with existing socketed EPROM layouts. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C040-90JC | 5 V only (4.5–5.5 V); no 3.3 V operation; same 90 ns access, 32J PLCC, and pinout. | Limited to pure 5 V systems; lacks dual-voltage flexibility and low-power advantage. | Select when upgrading legacy 5 V-only designs where VCC stability precludes 3.3 V use. |
| AM27C040-90DC | 5 V only; 90 ns access; 32-pin DIP package; higher ICC active current (35 mA vs. 10 mA at 5 MHz). | Requires through-hole PCB layout; unsuitable for surface-mount industrial modules. | Choose only for through-hole prototyping or repair of vintage DIP-based systems. |
Compared with AT27C040-90JC and AM27C040-90DC, the AT27LV040A-90JI delivers lower power consumption, broader voltage compatibility, and industrial temperature qualification - making it the preferred choice for new designs targeting energy efficiency and mixed-voltage interoperability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for VPP on the AT27LV040A-90JI?
The AT27LV040A-90JI requires VPP = 13.0 ± 0.25 V during programming, with absolute maximum rating of +14.0 V on A9 and VPP pins. Exceeding 13.25 V risks unreliable programming or permanent damage; the device must never be operated with VPP connected during normal read mode.
Can the AT27LV040A-90JI operate reliably at 3.0 V VCC?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90JI is fully specified for read operation at VCC = 3.0 V to 3.6 V, delivering ≤90 ns access time and TTL-compatible outputs. At 3.0 V, standby current remains ≤20 µA and active power dissipation is ~18 mW at 5 MHz - confirmed in the DC/AC characteristics table.
Is the AT27LV040A-90JI pin-compatible with the AT27C040?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90JI shares identical pinout, signal definitions, and JEDEC 32-lead PLCC (32J) package with the AT27C040. It is functionally and physically compatible for drop-in replacement in existing designs, though VPP and programming voltage requirements differ.
Does the AT27LV040A-90JI support in-system programming?
No, the AT27LV040A-90JI requires external EPROM programmer hardware applying 13.0 V VPP and 6.5 V VCC. It does not support in-circuit or in-system programming; programming must occur off-board prior to soldering, as no serial or parallel ISP interface is implemented.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable operation of the AT27LV040A-90JI?
The AT27LV040A-90JI requires a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND as close to the device as possible, plus a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point of the EPROM array - both mandated in the System Considerations section to suppress transient excursions during CE switching.
