Product details
Overview
AT27LV040A-90TU from Atmel is a 4-Mbit (512K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM optimized for low-voltage, battery-powered systems. It operates at 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V, delivers 90 ns read access time, consumes ≤20 µA standby current at 3.6 V, and supports JEDEC-standard PLCC/TSOP/VSOP packages - used in embedded firmware storage for industrial controllers and legacy instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV040A-90TU datasheet, AT27LV040A-90TU pinout, AT27LV040A-90TU application, or AT27LV040A-90TU equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping, dual-supply operation details, rapid programming timing (100 µs/byte), TTL/CMOS I/O compatibility, and industrial temperature support (−40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The AT27LV040A-90TU implements a single-supply OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE/OE), enabling bus contention avoidance in multi-device memory systems. Its address space spans A0–A18 (19-bit), supporting full 512K-byte decoding without external logic.
It features integrated product identification (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x0B) readable via A9 high-voltage select and A0 toggle, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard programmers. Rapid programming uses 100 µs CE pulses at VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V, with up to 10 retries per byte before failure declaration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4,194,304 bits (512K × 8) - supports full firmware image storage for 8-bit microcontrollers without bank switching. |
| Read Access Time | 90 ns max at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - enables direct interface with 10 MHz Z80 or 8051 derivatives without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V - allows seamless integration into dual-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V logic with 5 V legacy peripherals). |
| Standby Current | 20 µA max at VCC = 3.6 V - extends battery life in portable diagnostic tools and handheld meters. |
| Programming Speed | 100 µs/byte typical - reduces production programming cycle time by >5× versus standard 5 V EPROMs. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in industrial PLC backplanes and automotive under-hood ECUs. |
| I/O Compatibility | JEDEC LVTTL - ensures interoperability with 74LVC, 74ALVC, and legacy 74LS families without level shifters. |
Pinout & Package
AT27LV040A-90TU is supplied in a 32-lead TSOP (Type I, package code 32T), measuring 20.0 mm × 8.0 mm × 1.2 mm, with gull-wing leads and JEDEC MO-142 BD compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus accepting full 512K range; no address latching required. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | True TTL-compatible outputs driving 2.0 mA low / −400 µA high - directly interfaces with 74LS inputs. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low enable controlling device selection; toggling CE between active/standby induces transient voltage spikes requiring local 0.1 µF decoupling. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; allows multiple devices on same data bus with staggered OE timing (tOE = 50 ns). |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input supporting dual ranges (3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V); must be applied before/with VPP during programming. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 13.0 V ± 0.25 V input for programming; requires dedicated 0.1 µF capacitor to ground to suppress transients. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for VCC and VPP; decoupling capacitors must connect here with minimal trace length. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-Voltage Read Operation | Eliminates need for separate 5 V regulators in mixed-voltage systems - supports hot-plug into both 3.3 V and 5 V host slots. |
| Rapid Programming Algorithm | Reduces factory programming time by minimizing verification loops; guarantees byte-level reliability without external algorithm tuning. |
| Integrated Product ID Code | Enables automatic programmer recognition of manufacturer (0x1E) and device type (0x0B), preventing incorrect voltage application during programming. |
| 2,000 V ESD Protection | Meets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 for handling in uncontrolled environments - critical for field-replaceable modules in service depots. |
| Green (Pb/Halide-free) Packaging | Complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 - suitable for lead-free reflow assembly. |

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 pinout and programming algorithm. | Requires dedicated 5 V rail; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage systems. | Select when system already uses 5 V logic and no low-power constraints exist. |
| MX29LV400CBTI-90G | Flash-based (reprogrammable), 3.3 V only, 48-pin TSOP; different command set and sector architecture. | Supports field firmware updates but requires bootloader and erase-cycle management overhead. | Select when reprogrammability outweighs OTP simplicity and cost sensitivity. |
Compared with AT27C040-90JU, the AT27LV040A-90TU enables lower system power and broader supply flexibility; compared with MX29LV400CBTI-90G, it eliminates erase complexity and guarantees bit-level write permanence - critical for safety-certified firmware.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for AT27LV040A-90TU during normal read mode?
The AT27LV040A-90TU supports two distinct read-mode supply ranges: 3.0 V to 3.6 V for low-voltage operation and 4.5 V to 5.5 V for standard 5 V systems. It does not operate at voltages outside these ranges during read - applying 3.7 V or 4.4 V risks functional instability or parametric noncompliance. The AT27LV040A-90TU must use VCC = 6.5 V only during programming, with strict sequencing relative to VPP.
Can AT27LV040A-90TU be programmed using standard AT27C040 programming equipment?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90TU programs identically to the AT27C040 using the same equipment, including voltage settings and CE pulse timing. Both share the same Product Identification Code (0x1E/0x0B) and rapid programming algorithm (100 µs/byte). The AT27LV040A-90TU requires VPP = 13.0 V and VCC = 6.5 V during programming - matching AT27C040 requirements - and accepts identical address/data sequences.
Does AT27LV040A-90TU support true 3.3 V TTL-compatible outputs?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90TU produces TTL-level outputs (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) when VCC = 3.0–3.6 V and drives 2.0 mA low / −400 µA high, meeting JEDEC LVTTL standards. This allows direct connection to 74LS, 74ALS, and 74F families without level translation. The AT27LV040A-90TU maintains this compatibility across its full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C).
What decoupling capacitance is required for stable AT27LV040A-90TU operation?
Each AT27LV040A-90TU requires a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to the device pins to suppress transients induced by CE switching. For boards with multiple AT27LV040A-90TU devices, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor must also be added near the power entry point to stabilize the array supply. These values are mandatory per Atmel's system design guidelines.
Is AT27LV040A-90TU RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90TU carries the "U" suffix denoting Atmel's Green (Pb/Halide-free) packaging option, compliant with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3. Its TSOP package uses matte tin lead finish and halogen-free molding compound, supporting lead-free reflow soldering profiles up to 260°C peak temperature.
