Product details
Overview
AT27LV040A-90JU 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 JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging, TTL/CMOS-compatible I/O, and integrated product identification code for automated programming.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV040A-90JU datasheet, AT27LV040A-90JU pinout, AT27LV040A-90JU application, or AT27LV040A-90JU equivalent, this device serves as a low-power, battery-friendly OTP ROM replacement for legacy 5V EPROM systems requiring backward compatibility with AT27C040 programming infrastructure and logic-level interoperability across mixed-supply environments.
Technical Context
The AT27LV040A-90JU implements a standard parallel-addressed OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE and OE), supporting fast random-access reads and rapid byte-wise programming at 100 µs/byte. Its dual-voltage design enables direct interface with both 3.3V and 5V logic families without level-shifting.
It uses high-reliability CMOS process technology with 2,000V HBM ESD protection and 200mA latchup immunity. The integrated product ID code (0x1E for manufacturer, 0x0B for device type) allows automatic recognition by industry-standard programmers, ensuring identical programming flow to the AT27C040 despite voltage differences.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C040-90JU | 5V-only operation (4.5–5.5 V); no 3.3V support; identical 90 ns access, same PLCC package and pinout | Requires dedicated 5V rail; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage systems | Select when legacy 5V-only infrastructure exists and power efficiency is secondary to cost or availability |
| AM27C040-90DC | AMD-manufactured 4Mb OTP EPROM; 90 ns access; 5V operation; 32-pin ceramic DIP (not PLCC) | Different package (DIP vs PLCC) requires PCB redesign; lacks integrated ID code and rapid programming algorithm | Select only if through-hole assembly is mandated and programming equipment supports non-Atmel ID protocols |
Compared with AT27C040-90JU, the AT27LV040A-90JU adds dual-voltage flexibility and halved power consumption but retains identical programming flow and pinout; versus AM27C040-90DC, it offers superior manufacturability via PLCC packaging and automated ID-based programming, though at higher unit cost.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the AT27LV040A-90JU support during normal read operation?
The AT27LV040A-90JU supports two distinct supply voltage ranges for read operation: 3.0 V to 3.6 V (low-voltage mode) and 4.5 V to 5.5 V (standard 5V mode). Both ranges are fully specified in the datasheet with corresponding timing and current parameters. The AT27LV040A-90JU maintains 90 ns access time across both ranges and delivers TTL-compatible outputs even when powered at 3.3 V, enabling seamless integration into mixed-supply systems without external level translation.
Is the AT27LV040A-90JU pin-compatible with the AT27C040 series?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90JU is pin-compatible and functionally equivalent to the AT27C040-90JU in read mode and programming mode. Both share identical 32-lead PLCC pinout, address/data/control signal assignments, and JEDEC-standard timing. The AT27LV040A-90JU retains the same integrated product ID code (0x1E/0x0B) and rapid programming algorithm, allowing use of identical programming hardware and firmware tools without modification.
What is the purpose of the VPP pin on the AT27LV040A-90JU, and when is it used?
The VPP pin on the AT27LV040A-90JU is the programming voltage input, requiring 13.0 V ± 0.25 V only during programming operations. It is not used during normal read or standby modes. The AT27LV040A-90JU mandates simultaneous application and removal of VPP and VCC, and requires a 0.1 µF capacitor between VPP and GND to suppress transients. During read operation, VPP may be tied to VCC, but must be isolated during programming to avoid damage or incorrect writes.
Does the AT27LV040A-90JU support industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90JU is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification applies to all electrical characteristics including access time, standby current, and output drive strength. The device uses high-reliability CMOS process technology with 2,000V HBM ESD protection and 200mA latchup immunity, ensuring stable performance across the full industrial range without derating or thermal management overhead.
How does the AT27LV040A-90JU achieve low power consumption compared to standard 5V EPROMs?
The AT27LV040A-90JU achieves low power consumption through optimized 3.3V CMOS process design: standby current is typically <1 µA and max 20 µA at 3.6 V, while active power is limited to 36 mW at 5 MHz and 3.6 V - less than half that of comparable 5V EPROMs. This reduction stems from lower dynamic switching power (P ∝ CV²f) and reduced leakage currents inherent to the scaled process, enabling extended battery life in portable applications without sacrificing speed or compatibility.
