Product details
Overview
AT27LV512A-15JC from Atmel is a 512 Kbit (64K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM with 150 ns maximum read access time, dual-voltage operation (3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V), and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging. It delivers TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0 V and supports rapid programming at 100 µs/byte, serving as nonvolatile program storage in battery-powered embedded controllers and legacy industrial firmware systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV512A-15JC datasheet, AT27LV512A-15JC pinout, AT27LV512A-15JC application, or AT27LV512A-15JC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 150 ns read timing under 3.3 V supply, <20 µA standby current, JEDEC-compliant PLCC-32 footprint, and compatibility with standard AT27C512R programming infrastructure.
Technical Context
The AT27LV512A-15JC implements a CMOS OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE/OE/VPP), enabling bus contention avoidance in shared-memory systems. Its dual-supply design allows direct interoperability with both 3.3 V logic and 5 V host systems without level-shifting.
It uses Atmel's Rapid™ Programming Algorithm requiring VCC = 6.5 V and OE/VPP = 13.0 V for programming, while maintaining full read functionality at 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V. Product identification is implemented via dedicated A9 and A0 pins to select manufacturer and device code bytes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 524,288 bits (64K × 8) - fixed OTP storage capacity for firmware boot code or configuration data |
| Read Access Time | 150 ns max at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V - defines worst-case latency for instruction fetch in microcontroller systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V - enables drop-in replacement in mixed-voltage legacy designs |
| Standby Current | 20 µA max at VCC = 3.6 V - ensures ultra-low power retention in battery-backed applications |
| Programming Speed | 100 µs/byte typical - reduces production programming cycle time versus conventional EPROMs |
| Output Compatibility | LVTTL-compliant - drives standard 5 V TTL loads directly when operating at 3.0 V VCC |
| ESD Protection | 2,000 V HBM - meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry |
Pinout & Package
AT27LV512A-15JC is housed in a 32-lead plastic J-leaded chip carrier (PLCC) per JEDEC MS-016 AE, with pin 1 and pin 17 designated as no-connect (NC). The package supports surface-mount reflow and socket-based programming.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; selects one of 64K byte locations during read or program cycles |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; outputs valid data during read mode, high-impedance otherwise |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; controls device activation and entry into standby mode when high |
| OE/VPP | Output Enable / Program Supply | Dual-function pin: low = output enable during read; 13.0 V = programming voltage input during write |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input; must be applied before/with OE/VPP and removed after OE/VPP to prevent latchup |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device |
| NC (Pins 1, 17) | No Connect | Physically present but internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/byte typical programming time with automatic verify-and-reprogram loop up to 10 pulses per byte |
| Integrated Product ID Code | Manufacturer ID (0x1E) and Device Code (0x0D) accessible via A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggling - enables auto-detection by programmers |
| Two-Line Control Architecture | Separate CE and OE/VPP signals eliminate bus contention during partial memory access or multi-device sharing |
| JEDEC Standard Pinout | Pin-compatible with AT27C512R across PLCC, SOIC, and TSOP packages - simplifies migration from 5 V EPROMs |
| High-Reliability CMOS Process | 200 mA latchup immunity and 2,000 V ESD protection - suitable for industrial environments without external protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C512R-70PC | 5 V-only operation (4.5–5.5 V); 70 ns access time; 28-pin PDIP package | Requires 5 V supply only; lacks low-voltage capability and PLCC-32 footprint | Select when board already uses 5 V rails and through-hole assembly is preferred |
| MX29LV512CTI-15G | 3 V flash memory (not OTP); 150 ns access; 32-pin TSOP; supports erase/rewrite | Field-upgradable but lower data retention (20 years vs. indefinite OTP); higher standby current (10 µA typical) | Select only if firmware updates are required post-deployment; not a drop-in replacement due to command-set and timing differences |
Compared with AT27LV512A-15JC, AT27C512R-70PC offers faster access but no low-voltage support or PLCC-32 compatibility, while MX29LV512CTI-15G provides reprogrammability at the cost of reduced reliability and different control signaling - making AT27LV512A-15JC optimal for immutable, mixed-voltage, surface-mount firmware storage.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for the AT27LV512A-15JC?
The AT27LV512A-15JC has a maximum read access time of 150 ns when operating at VCC = 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V. This value is guaranteed across the commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and reflects the worst-case propagation delay from address valid to stable data output under specified load and timing conditions.
Can the AT27LV512A-15JC operate with a 3.3 V supply and drive 5 V TTL logic?
Yes, the AT27LV512A-15JC operates within a 3.0–3.6 V supply range and produces LVTTL-compatible outputs that meet VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 2.0 mA - fully compatible with standard 5 V TTL inputs without level-shifting circuitry.
What package type does the AT27LV512A-15JC use, and are pins 1 and 17 connected?
The AT27LV512A-15JC uses a 32-lead plastic J-leaded chip carrier (PLCC) per JEDEC MS-016 AE. Pins 1 and 17 are explicitly designated as no-connect (NC) and must remain unconnected or tied to ground per layout recommendations - they serve no internal function.
How does programming the AT27LV512A-15JC differ from standard 5 V EPROMs?
The AT27LV512A-15JC uses the same programming algorithm and equipment as the AT27C512R but requires VCC = 6.5 V and OE/VPP = 13.0 V during programming. Its Rapid™ algorithm applies 100 µs CE pulses with automatic verify-and-reprogram loops, achieving 100 µs/byte typical speed without changing programmer firmware.
Does the AT27LV512A-15JC support product identification, and how is it accessed?
Yes, the AT27LV512A-15JC includes an integrated product identification code. To read it, hold A1–A15 low, apply VH = 12.0 ± 0.5 V to A9, and toggle A0 between VIL and VIH to select Manufacturer ID (0x1E) or Device Code (0x0D) - both match the AT27C512R for programmer compatibility.
