Product details
Overview
AT27LV040A-90JU-T 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 delivers TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0 V, supports rapid programming at 100 µs/byte, and features JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging for embedded firmware storage in portable and mixed-supply systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV040A-90JU-T datasheet, AT27LV040A-90JU-T pinout, AT27LV040A-90JU-T application, or AT27LV040A-90JU-T equivalent, this device serves as a low-power, voltage-flexible OTP replacement for legacy 5 V EPROMs while maintaining full programming compatibility with AT27C040 and supporting battery-powered, space-constrained, and dual-rail host environments.
Technical Context
The AT27LV040A-90JU-T implements a CMOS-based OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE/OE), enabling bus contention avoidance in multi-device memory subsystems. Its dual-voltage design allows seamless integration into both 3.3 V and 5 V systems without level-shifting, and its TTL-compatible I/O ensures interoperability with legacy logic families.
It uses a rapid programming algorithm requiring VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V, with built-in product identification code (0x1E/0x0B) for automated programmer recognition. The device incorporates 2,000 V ESD protection and 200 mA latchup immunity, meeting industrial reliability requirements without external hardening.

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 | 5 V only operation (4.5–5.5 V); no 3.3 V support; identical 90 ns access, same PLCC-32 package and pinout. | Requires dedicated 5 V rail; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage systems. | Select when legacy 5 V infrastructure is fixed and power efficiency is secondary. |
| MX29LV400CBTI-90G | Flash-based (reprogrammable), 3.3 V only, 4 Mbit (512K × 8), 90 ns access, TSOP-48 package - not pin-compatible. | Supports in-system reprogramming but requires different PCB layout and voltage sequencing. | Select when field firmware updates are required and board redesign is acceptable. |
Compared with AT27C040-90JU, the AT27LV040A-90JU-T adds 3.3 V operation and cuts standby current by >95%; compared with MX29LV400CBTI-90G, it offers true OTP security and PLCC-32 compatibility but lacks reprogrammability - ideal for cost-sensitive, tamper-resistant, or footprint-constrained deployments.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does the AT27LV040A-90JU-T support during normal read operation?
The AT27LV040A-90JU-T supports two independent read voltage ranges: 3.0 V to 3.6 V (low-voltage mode) and 4.5 V to 5.5 V (standard 5 V mode). Both ranges are fully specified in the datasheet for AC and DC parameters, including 90 ns access time and TTL-compatible outputs. VCC must remain within the selected range throughout read operation; switching between ranges requires power cycling or controlled sequencing.
Is the AT27LV040A-90JU-T pin-compatible with the AT27C040-90JU?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90JU-T is pin-compatible and functionally compatible with the AT27C040-90JU, sharing identical 32-lead PLCC (32J) packaging, pinout, address/data/control signal assignments, and programming interface. The AT27LV040A-90JU-T extends compatibility by adding 3.3 V operation while retaining full programming equivalence using the same equipment and algorithms.
What is the purpose of the VPP pin on the AT27LV040A-90JU-T, and when is it used?
The VPP pin on the AT27LV040A-90JU-T supplies 13.0 V ± 0.25 V exclusively during programming and verification cycles. It is not used during normal read or standby operation. VPP must be applied simultaneously with VCC (6.5 V) and removed together; connecting VPP directly to VCC is permitted only outside programming phases. A 0.1 µF capacitor between VPP and GND is mandatory to suppress transients during programming pulses.
Does the AT27LV040A-90JU-T require external decoupling capacitors, and if so, what values?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90JU-T requires two decoupling capacitors: a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed as close as possible between VCC and GND per device, and a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor near the power entry point for arrays of multiple devices. These are mandated to suppress transient voltage excursions during CE transitions and stabilize supply rails under dynamic load conditions, preventing nonconformance per datasheet system considerations.
How does the integrated product identification code work on the AT27LV040A-90JU-T?
The AT27LV040A-90JU-T includes a two-byte electronic ID: manufacturer code 0x1E and device code 0x0B. It is accessed by holding all address lines low except A9 (set to 12.0 V) and toggling A0 - low for manufacturer ID, high for device ID. This feature enables automatic recognition by industry-standard programmers, ensuring correct algorithm and voltage selection without manual configuration, and matches the ID of the AT27C040 for seamless tool compatibility.
