Product details
Overview
AT27LV512A-15JI from Atmel is a 64K × 8-bit one-time programmable EPROM (OTP EPROM) operating at 3.0–3.6V or 4.5–5.5V, with 150 ns maximum read access time, 20 µA max standby current at 3.6V, and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging. It serves as nonvolatile program storage in battery-powered portable systems requiring low-voltage operation and TTL/CMOS compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV512A-15JI datasheet, AT27LV512A-15JI pinout, AT27LV512A-15JI application, or AT27LV512A-15JI equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-voltage support (3.3V/5V), industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), rapid programming (100 µs/byte), JEDEC-compatibility with AT27C512R, and PLCC package mechanical fit for legacy socketed designs.
Technical Context
The AT27LV512A-15JI implements a standard OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE and OE/VPP), enabling bus contention avoidance in multi-device systems. Its address decoding covers A0–A15 (16-bit), supporting full 64K-byte addressing, and outputs O0–O7 drive LVTTL-compatible levels under both 3.3V and 5V supply conditions.
Programming requires VCC = 6.5V and OE/VPP = 13.0V, using a Rapid™ algorithm with 100 µs CE pulses and verification loops per byte. Product identification is accessed via A9 = 12.0V and A0 toggled, returning manufacturer code 0x1E and device code 0x0D - identical to AT27C512R for programming equipment compatibility.
