Product details
Overview
AT27LV512A-70JI 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 70 ns read access time, 20 µA max standby current at VCC = 3.6V, and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging. It serves as non-volatile program storage in battery-powered portable systems requiring low-voltage operation and TTL-compatible outputs.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV512A-70JI datasheet, AT27LV512A-70JI pinout, AT27LV512A-70JI application, or AT27LV512A-70JI 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 CMOS/TTL I/O compatibility for mixed-supply system integration.
Technical Context
The AT27LV512A-70JI implements a single-supply OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE and OE/VPP), enabling bus contention prevention in multi-device systems. Its Rapid™ programming algorithm uses 100 µs CE pulses at VCC = 6.5V and OE/VPP = 13.0V, with verification loops per byte and up to 10 reprogramming attempts on failure.
It supports product identification via A9 = 12.0V and A0 toggling to select manufacturer (0x1E) or device code (0x0D) bytes - identical to AT27C512R - ensuring compatibility with standard programming equipment. Input/output levels meet LVTTL standards, and outputs remain TTL-compatible even when VCC = 3.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 524,288-bit (64K × 8) OTP EPROM - fixed, non-erasable program storage for firmware boot or configuration data |
| Read Access Time | 70 ns maximum - enables direct execution from memory in high-speed microcontroller systems without wait states |
| Supply Voltage Range | 3.0V–3.6V or 4.5V–5.5V - supports dual-voltage host systems and battery-powered designs with 3.3V rails |

Pinout & Package
AT27LV512A-70JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package per JEDEC MS-016 AE. Pins 1 and 17 are no-connect (NC) and must remain unconnected in layout.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; selects one of 64K bytes during read or program operations |
| 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; disables outputs and reduces current draw when high (standby) |
| OE/VPP | Output Enable / Program Supply | Low during read (enables output drivers); high at 13.0V during programming (supplies VPP) |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary supply input; accepts 3.0–3.6V or 4.5–5.5V; must be applied before/with OE/VPP |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling |
| NC (Pins 1, 17) | No Connect | Unbonded pins; must be left floating - no routing or soldering permitted |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C512R-70JC | 5V-only operation (4.5–5.5V); no 3.3V support; identical 70 ns access, PLCC package, and pinout | Requires 5V supply rail; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage systems | Select when legacy 5V-only design mandates strict voltage compliance and no low-power requirement exists |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for AT27LV512A-70JI?
The AT27LV512A-70JI is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the datasheet. The 'I' suffix in AT27LV512A-70JI explicitly denotes industrial grade, distinguishing it from commercial-grade variants like AT27LV512A-70JC. This range ensures reliable performance in demanding environments such as factory automation and outdoor instrumentation where thermal stability is critical. AT27LV512A-70JI maintains full electrical specifications across this entire range.
Does AT27LV512A-70JI support 3.3V-only operation?
Yes, AT27LV512A-70JI supports true 3.3V-only operation with VCC specified from 3.0V to 3.6V for read mode. It delivers 70 ns access time and TTL-compatible outputs even at 3.0V, enabling direct interfacing with 3.3V logic without level shifters. However, programming requires VCC = 6.5V and OE/VPP = 13.0V - so while read operation is fully 3.3V-native, programming remains a separate high-voltage process. AT27LV512A-70JI does not require a 5V rail for normal operation.
Is AT27LV512A-70JI pin-compatible with AT27C512R?
Yes, AT27LV512A-70JI is JEDEC-standard pin-compatible with AT27C512R in all supported packages (PLCC, SOIC, TSOP). The datasheet explicitly states compatibility and confirms identical pin functions, timing parameters, and programming protocols. This allows AT27LV512A-70JI to serve as a drop-in replacement in existing AT27C512R designs - retaining the same PCB layout, firmware, and programming equipment - while adding 3.3V operation and lower power. AT27LV512A-70JI maintains full functional equivalence in read and program modes.
What programming voltage is required for AT27LV512A-70JI?
AT27LV512A-70JI requires VCC = 6.5V ± 0.25V and OE/VPP = 13.0V ± 0.25V during programming, as specified in the DC Programming Characteristics table. These voltages are mandatory for reliable byte programming using the Rapid™ algorithm. The device cannot be programmed at its normal read supply voltages (3.0–3.6V or 4.5–5.5V). Programming must be performed using industry-standard EPROM programmers capable of delivering these precise high-voltage conditions. AT27LV512A-70JI is not field-programmable under normal system power.
Can AT27LV512A-70JI be used in battery-powered devices?
Yes, AT27LV512A-70JI is specifically optimized for battery-powered devices. Its 3.0V minimum read supply enables direct connection to single-cell Li-ion or 3×AA alkaline configurations. With only 20 µA max standby current at 3.6V and 8 mA active current at 5 MHz, it minimizes quiescent drain - extending operational life significantly versus 5V EPROMs. The datasheet highlights "ideal for fast, portable systems using battery power" as a core design goal. AT27LV512A-70JI delivers both performance and energy efficiency in mobile applications.
