Product details
Overview
AT27LV040A-90VI 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 VSOP packaging - ideal for battery-powered portable instrumentation and legacy embedded control systems requiring nonvolatile program storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV040A-90VI datasheet, AT27LV040A-90VI pinout, AT27LV040A-90VI application, or AT27LV040A-90VI equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 90 ns access timing under 3.3 V supply, industrial-grade reliability (200 mA latchup immunity, 2 kV ESD), OTP programming compatibility with AT27C040, and VSOP package footprint constraints in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The AT27LV040A-90VI implements a single-supply OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE/OE), enabling bus contention avoidance in shared-memory systems. Its address decoding supports 19-bit addressing (A0–A18) for full 512K-word access, and output drivers meet LVTTL voltage thresholds (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = −2.0 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 2.0 mA) across both 3.3 V and 5 V supply modes.
Programming uses Rapid™ algorithm with 100 µs/byte typical pulse width at VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V, while product identification is accessed via A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggling to select manufacturer (0x1E) or device code (0x0B) bytes - ensuring compatibility with industry-standard programmers calibrated for AT27C040.
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 external memory expansion. |
| 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 mixed-voltage systems (e.g., 3.3 V logic with 5 V peripherals). |
| Standby Current | 20 µA max at VCC = 3.6 V - extends battery life in portable diagnostic tools and handheld test equipment. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation controllers and automotive body electronics modules. |

| ESD/Latchup | 2,000 V HBM ESD protection; 200 mA latchup immunity - ensures robustness in manufacturing and field deployment environments. |
Pinout & Package
AT27LV040A-90VI is supplied in a 32-lead Very Small Outline Package (VSOP), JEDEC MO-142 BA compliant, with 0.5 mm lead pitch and 8 mm × 14 mm body size. Pin 1 is marked by index notch; leads are gull-wing shaped for reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus interface; all must be stable before CE low to guarantee correct byte access within 90 ns. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | True TTL/CMOS-compatible bidirectional data bus outputs; high-impedance when OE or CE high. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device activation and power state transition between active (≤10 mA) and standby (≤20 µA). |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; decouples data bus during read cycles without affecting internal address latching. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input (3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V); requires local 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitor per device. |
| VPP | Programming Voltage | 13.0 V programming supply input; must be applied simultaneously with or after VCC and removed simultaneously or before VCC. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling during rapid programming pulses. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/byte typical programming time - reduces firmware update cycle time by >5× versus legacy EPROMs, improving production throughput. |
| Integrated Product ID Code | Manufacturer ID 0x1E and Device ID 0x0B accessible via A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggle - enables automatic algorithm selection in universal programmers. |
| Dual-Voltage Read Compatibility | TTL-level outputs at VCC = 3.0 V - eliminates level-shifting requirements when interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers or FPGAs. |
| JEDEC Standard Packages | VSOP (32V), TSOP (32T), PLCC (32J) - allows drop-in replacement across form factors without redesigning PCB layout or socket tooling. |

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 operation (4.5–5.5 V); no 3.3 V support; same 90 ns access, PLCC package. | Requires dedicated 5 V rail; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage systems. | Select when legacy 5 V design prohibits voltage scaling and PLCC socket compatibility is mandatory. |
| MX29LV400CBTI-90G | Flash-based (reprogrammable), 3.3 V only, 48-pin TSOP; lacks VPP pin and OTP security model. | Enables field firmware updates but introduces erase-cycle wear-out and higher standby current (100 µA). | Select when firmware revision flexibility outweighs need for permanent, tamper-resistant storage and VSOP footprint. |
Compared with AT27C040-90JC, AT27LV040A-90VI adds dual-voltage operation and VSOP packaging but retains identical programming algorithms and ID codes; versus MX29LV400CBTI-90G, it trades reprogrammability for lower power, smaller footprint, and inherent write-protection - critical for safety-certified systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the AT27LV040A-90VI during read operations?
The AT27LV040A-90VI does not specify a maximum clock frequency; instead, its performance is defined by access timing. With a 90 ns address-to-output delay (tACC) at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V, it supports reliable read cycles up to approximately 11 MHz in systems where address setup/hold and output enable timing are properly managed. The AT27LV040A-90VI achieves this while maintaining <1 µA typical standby current - a key advantage over faster but higher-power alternatives.
Can the AT27LV040A-90VI be programmed using standard AT27C040 programming equipment?
Yes, the AT27LV040A-90VI is fully programming-compatible with AT27C040 equipment due to identical Rapid™ algorithm implementation, matching 100 µs/byte pulse width, and shared product identification code (0x1E/0x0B). The AT27LV040A-90VI requires VCC = 6.5 V and VPP = 13.0 V during programming - voltages that standard AT27C040 programmers deliver - and uses the same CE-controlled pulse sequencing.
What package type does the AT27LV040A-90VI use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The AT27LV040A-90VI uses a 32-lead VSOP (Very Small Outline Package) per JEDEC MO-142 BA, measuring 8 mm × 14 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch. While the original 1998 datasheet predates RoHS, Microchip's current product change notifications confirm legacy Atmel OTP EPROMs including AT27LV040A-90VI are manufactured in RoHS-compliant facilities with lead-free terminations - verified by Aetrix Electronics' traceable lot documentation.
Does the AT27LV040A-90VI support partial reprogramming or sector erasure?
No, the AT27LV040A-90VI is a one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM - once programmed, its contents cannot be altered, erased, or rewritten. It lacks flash-style sector erase or byte-programming capability. This design ensures absolute firmware immutability, making the AT27LV040A-90VI suitable for safety-critical applications where accidental or malicious code modification must be physically impossible.
How does the AT27LV040A-90VI handle power supply decoupling, and what capacitors are required?
The AT27LV040A-90VI 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 transient voltage excursions during CE transitions. For multi-device EPROM arrays, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor must also be added near the power entry point - both are mandatory per Atmel's system considerations to prevent non-conformance caused by supply rail instability during rapid programming or read cycles.
