Product details
Overview
AT27LV512A-70JC from Atmel is a 64K × 8-bit one-time programmable EPROM (OTP EPROM) with 70 ns 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, making it suitable for battery-powered portable systems requiring low-power nonvolatile storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV512A-70JC datasheet, AT27LV512A-70JC pinout, AT27LV512A-70JC application, or AT27LV512A-70JC equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-supply 3.3 V read capability, 20 µA max standby current, JEDEC-compatibility with AT27C512R, industrial temperature range support, and PLCC package mechanical footprint.
Technical Context
The AT27LV512A-70JC implements a CMOS OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE/OE), enabling bus contention prevention in shared-memory systems. Its address decoding covers A0–A15 (16-bit), and output drivers support both CMOS and LVTTL logic levels across voltage ranges.
It features integrated product identification (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x0D) accessed via A9 = 12.0 V and A0 toggling, ensuring compatibility with industry-standard programmers. Programming requires VCC = 6.5 V and OE/VPP = 13.0 V, using a verified Rapid™ algorithm with up to 10 pulses per byte.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT27LV512A-70JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016 AE. Pins 1 and 17 are No Connect (NC). Pin 1 is identified by index mark; lead pitch is 1.27 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; latched on CE falling edge - supports full 64K memory map decoding. |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; high-impedance when CE or OE/VPP high - prevents bus contention in multi-device systems. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device activation and standby entry - used for memory banking and power gating. |
| OE/VPP | Output Enable / Program Supply | Dual-function pin: low during read (output enable), 13.0 V during programming (VPP supply) - eliminates need for external VPP switching. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input; must be applied before/with OE/VPP - ensures safe power sequencing during programming. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; decoupling capacitor required within 5 mm - critical for noise immunity in high-speed reads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rapid™ Programming Algorithm | 100 µs/byte typical programming time with automatic verify/reprogram loop - reduces production line cycle time and improves yield. |
| Integrated Product ID Code | Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x0D - enables auto-detection and algorithm selection in universal programmers. |
| Two-Line Control Architecture | Separate CE and OE/VPP pins - allows independent control of chip select and output driver enable, simplifying timing-critical memory interfacing. |
| TTL-Compatible Outputs at 3.0 V | VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V driving 2.0 mA - permits direct connection to 5 V TTL logic without level shifters in mixed-voltage systems. |
| JEDEC-Standard Packaging | 32J PLCC footprint - ensures drop-in replacement compatibility with existing AT27C512R-based PCB layouts. |

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); no 3.3 V support; same 70 ns speed and PLCC-28 package. | Lacks dual-voltage flexibility; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-supply systems. | Select only when legacy 5 V-only design constraints prohibit voltage scaling. |
| MX29LV512CTI-70G | 3 V flash memory (not OTP); supports 100K erase/write cycles; 32-pin TSOP package; 70 ns access. | Field-upgradable firmware capability; higher endurance but increased complexity and cost. | Choose when firmware updates are required post-deployment; not suitable for true OTP security requirements. |
Compared with AT27C512R-70PC and MX29LV512CTI-70G, the AT27LV512A-70JC uniquely balances low-voltage operation, OTP security, and JEDEC compatibility - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, unchangeable firmware deployments where 3.3 V integration and industrial reliability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum standby current specification for AT27LV512A-70JC?
The AT27LV512A-70JC has a maximum standby current of 20 µA at VCC = 3.6 V and CE = VCC ± 0.3 V (CMOS mode). Typical standby current is less than 1 µA at 3.3 V, enabling ultra-low-power operation in sleep-mode embedded systems. This value is measured under specified DC conditions per the official Atmel datasheet Rev. 0607B.
Can AT27LV512A-70JC operate reliably at 3.0 V supply voltage?
Yes, the AT27LV512A-70JC is fully specified for operation at 3.0 V to 3.6 V, delivering guaranteed 70 ns read access time even at the minimum 3.0 V supply. Its TTL-compatible outputs (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) remain valid at 3.0 V, allowing direct interfacing with 5 V logic families without level translation circuitry.
Does AT27LV512A-70JC require external VPP programming voltage?
No - the AT27LV512A-70JC uses an internal charge pump and accepts VPP directly on the OE/VPP pin at 13.0 V ± 0.25 V during programming. This eliminates the need for external VPP generation circuitry, simplifying programmer design and reducing BOM count. The OE/VPP pin serves dual roles: output enable during read and programming supply during write.
Is AT27LV512A-70JC pin-compatible with AT27C512R?
Yes, the AT27LV512A-70JC is JEDEC-compatible with the AT27C512R and shares identical pinouts across PLCC, SOIC, and TSOP packages. It supports the same programming algorithms and equipment, enabling drop-in replacement in existing designs - provided the system accommodates the lower 3.3 V operating range and updated power sequencing requirements.
What package type does AT27LV512A-70JC use, and are pins 1 and 17 connected?
The AT27LV512A-70JC uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package designated "32J" per Atmel's ordering information. Pins 1 and 17 are explicitly marked as No Connect (NC) in the datasheet and must remain unconnected in PCB layout - routing or soldering to these pins may cause functional failure or damage.
