Product details
Overview
AT27LV512A-90JU from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a 64K × 8-bit, one-time programmable EPROM with 90ns read access time, dual-voltage operation (3.0–3.6V or 4.5–5.5V), and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It delivers TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0V supply and supports rapid programming at 100µs/byte - ideal for battery-powered portable systems requiring low-power nonvolatile code storage.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV512A-90JU datasheet, AT27LV512A-90JU pinout, AT27LV512A-90JU application, or AT27LV512A-90JU equivalent, key selection criteria include its JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC package, CMOS/TTL I/O compatibility, sub-1µA typical standby current at 3.3V, and direct programming equivalence with AT27C512R using standard 5V programmers.
Technical Context
The AT27LV512A-90JU implements a single-supply OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE and OE/VPP), enabling bus contention prevention in multi-device systems. Its dual-voltage design allows seamless integration into both 3.3V and 5V host environments without level-shifting circuitry.
It uses high-reliability CMOS technology with 2,000V ESD protection and 200mA latchup immunity. Programming requires VCC = 6.5V and OE/VPP = 13.0V, while product identification is accessed via A9 = 12.0V and A0 toggling - supporting automated programming equipment recognition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 524,288 bits (64K × 8), sufficient for firmware boot code or configuration tables in embedded controllers |
| Read access time | 90 ns max at VCC = 3.0–3.6V, enabling real-time execution in 11 MHz CPU systems |
| Supply voltage range | 3.0–3.6V or 4.5–5.5V - supports mixed-voltage board designs and legacy 5V system upgrades |
| Standby current | 20 µA max (CMOS mode), <1 µA typical at 3.3V - extends battery life in portable instrumentation |
| Active power dissipation | 29 mW max at 5 MHz and VCC = 3.6V - reduces thermal load vs. standard 5V EPROMs |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C industrial grade - qualified for use in factory automation and outdoor telecom equipment |
| ESD/latchup rating | 2,000V HBM ESD protection and 200mA latchup immunity - improves field reliability in unshielded environments |
Pinout & Package
AT27LV512A-90JU is housed in a JEDEC-standard 32-lead plastic J-leaded chip carrier (PLCC), designated 32J per Atmel's ordering information. The package features gull-wing leads, matte tin finish, and conforms to MS-016 variation AE.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address inputs | 16-bit address bus interface; supports full 64K memory map decoding |
| O0–O7 | Data outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus - outputs valid during read when CE and OE/VPP are low |
| CE | Chip enable | Active-low global device select; controls entry to standby mode when high |
| OE/VPP | Output enable / programming voltage | Low during read; driven to 13.0V during programming; enables output drivers only when CE is also low |
| VCC | Power supply | Accepts either 3.0–3.6V or 4.5–5.5V; must be applied before/with OE/VPP |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals and power; decoupling capacitor required per datasheet |
| NC | No connect | Pins 1 and 17 are unconnected - no PCB trace or pad required |
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-90JU | 5V-only operation (4.5–5.5V); identical pinout, timing, and programming algorithm | Requires dedicated 5V rail; not suitable for battery-powered 3.3V systems | Select when board already uses 5V logic and no low-voltage operation is needed |
| MX29LV512CTI-90G | 3.3V-only flash memory; 100K write/erase cycles; software-controlled sector erase | Field-upgradable; requires different command sequences and voltage sequencing | Select when firmware updates in the field are required - not for one-time boot code |
Compared with AT27C512R-90JU, the AT27LV512A-90JU adds 3.3V operation and lower standby current but retains identical programming flow; compared with MX29LV512CTI-90G, it offers true OTP security and simpler interface but lacks reprogrammability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the AT27LV512A-90JU?
The AT27LV512A-90JU does not operate at a clock frequency itself - it is an asynchronous memory device. Its 90ns access time supports CPU bus frequencies up to approximately 11 MHz in simple wait-state-free configurations. For example, at 5 MHz bus activity, active power consumption remains within 8 mA (VCC = 3.3V), confirming reliable operation under sustained read loads. The AT27LV512A-90JU datasheet specifies timing parameters like tACC, tCE, and tOE rather than a clock rate.
Can the AT27LV512A-90JU be programmed using standard 5V EPROM programmers?
Yes - the AT27LV512A-90JU is fully programming-compatible with the AT27C512R and uses identical programming equipment. It requires VCC = 6.5V and OE/VPP = 13.0V during programming, but these voltages are generated internally by compliant programmers. The integrated product ID (0x1E/0x0D) ensures automatic algorithm selection. No hardware modification is needed to program the AT27LV512A-90JU on existing AT27C512R-capable programmers.
Does the AT27LV512A-90JU support partial reprogramming or sector erasure?
No - the AT27LV512A-90JU is a one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM. Once a byte is programmed, it cannot be altered or erased electrically. There is no UV window or flash-based erase mechanism. This design ensures absolute firmware integrity and prevents accidental or malicious corruption - a key requirement for safety-critical applications where the AT27LV512A-90JU is commonly deployed.
What decoupling capacitors are required for stable operation of the AT27LV512A-90JU?
Per the AT27LV512A-90JU datasheet, each device requires a 0.1 µF high-frequency ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and GND, mounted as close as possible to the PLCC pins. For boards with multiple EPROMs, a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor must also be placed near the power entry point. These values prevent transient voltage excursions during CE transitions that could cause nonconformance - a documented system-level requirement for reliable AT27LV512A-90JU operation.
Is the AT27LV512A-90JU RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes - the AT27LV512A-90JU carries the "Green package (Pb/halide-free)" designation in Atmel's ordering information. It uses matte tin lead finish and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 for moisture sensitivity and halogen content. This makes the AT27LV512A-90JU suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and medical end equipment without requiring exemptions.
