Product details
Overview
AT27LV512A-90JI from Atmel is a 64K × 8-bit one-time programmable EPROM (OTP EPROM) operating at 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V, with 90 ns read access time, 20 µA max standby current at 3.6 V, and JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC packaging. It serves as non-volatile program storage in battery-powered portable systems requiring low-voltage compatibility and TTL-level output interoperability.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV512A-90JI datasheet, AT27LV512A-90JI pinout, AT27LV512A-90JI application, or AT27LV512A-90JI equivalent, key selection considerations include dual-voltage operation (3.3 V/5 V), rapid programming (100 µs/byte), JEDEC-compatibility with AT27C512R, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and PLCC package mechanical footprint.
Technical Context
The AT27LV512A-90JI implements a CMOS OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE/OE/VPP), supporting both read and rapid programming modes via dedicated OE/VPP pin. Its address decoding covers A0–A15 (16-bit), enabling full 64K-byte access without external latching.
It features integrated product identification (Manufacturer ID = 0x1E, Device ID = 0x0D), ESD protection ≥2,000 V, latchup immunity ≥200 mA, and supports TTL-compatible I/O levels even when powered at 3.3 V - ensuring interoperability with legacy 5 V logic buses.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT27LV512A-90JI is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) per JEDEC MS-016 AE. Pins 1 and 17 are No Connect (NC). The package is lead-free compatible and rated for industrial temperature operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; fully decoded internally to select one of 64K bytes |
| O0–O7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus outputs; TTL-compatible even at 3.3 V supply |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; controls device activation and bus contention prevention |
| OE/VPP | Output Enable / Programming Supply | Dual-function pin: OE during read; 13.0 V VPP source during programming |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary power input; must be applied before/with OE/VPP to prevent latchup |
| 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 remain unconnected on PCB to avoid reliability risk |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT27C512R-90JC | 5 V-only operation (4.5–5.5 V); no low-voltage mode; identical 90 ns speed and PLCC package | Limited to legacy 5 V systems; cannot replace AT27LV512A-90JI in 3.3 V or dual-supply designs | Select only if board is exclusively 5 V and requires drop-in replacement without voltage rail changes |
| MX29LV512CTI-90G | 3 V Flash memory (not OTP); supports erase/rewrite; 90 ns access; TSOP-32 package (not PLCC) | Enables field updates but requires different programming infrastructure and layout revision due to package mismatch | Choose for upgradability needs - not for pin-compatible OTP replacement |
Compared with AT27C512R-90JC and MX29LV512CTI-90G, the AT27LV512A-90JI uniquely combines industrial-temperature OTP functionality, dual-voltage support, and PLCC packaging - making it irreplaceable where 3.3 V operation, one-time programming assurance, and socket-based programming are mandatory design requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for AT27LV512A-90JI during normal read operation?
The AT27LV512A-90JI supports two distinct read voltage ranges: 3.0 V to 3.6 V for low-power operation, and 4.5 V to 5.5 V for standard 5 V system compatibility. It must not be operated outside these ranges during read mode; programming requires VCC = 6.5 V and OE/VPP = 13.0 V, per the datasheet's DC Programming Characteristics table.
Does AT27LV512A-90JI support in-system programming?
No, the AT27LV512A-90JI is a one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM and does not support in-system programming. Programming requires dedicated EPROM programmers capable of applying 13.0 V to the OE/VPP pin and 6.5 V to VCC. Once programmed, data cannot be erased or rewritten - the device is intended for final firmware image storage prior to system assembly.
What is the purpose of the OE/VPP pin on AT27LV512A-90JI?
The OE/VPP pin on AT27LV512A-90JI serves a dual function: during read operation, it acts as Output Enable (active-low); during programming, it supplies the 13.0 V VPP programming voltage. This shared pin simplifies board routing but requires strict sequencing - VCC must be applied before OE/VPP and removed after it - to prevent latchup or damage per the System Considerations section.
Is AT27LV512A-90JI pin-compatible with AT27C512R-90JC?
Yes, AT27LV512A-90JI is functionally and pin-compatible with AT27C512R-90JC in read mode and shares identical PLCC-32 pinout, address/data mapping, and control logic. However, AT27LV512A-90JI adds 3.3 V operation and requires different programming voltages - so while PCB layout is interchangeable, programming hardware must support dual-voltage mode.
What decoupling capacitance is required for stable operation of AT27LV512A-90JI?
Per the System Considerations section, each AT27LV512A-90JI requires a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to the device pins. For arrays of multiple devices, an additional 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor must be placed near the power entry point to stabilize the supply rail and suppress transient excursions caused by CE switching.
