Product details
Overview
AT27LV512A-90RU from Atmel is a 64K × 8-bit one-time programmable EPROM with 90 ns read access time, dual-voltage operation (3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V), and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It delivers TTL-compatible outputs at 3.0 V, supports rapid programming at 100 µs/byte, and features JEDEC-standard 28-lead SOIC packaging for embedded boot memory in portable battery-powered systems.
For engineers reviewing the AT27LV512A-90RU datasheet, AT27LV512A-90RU pinout, AT27LV512A-90RU application, or AT27LV512A-90RU equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage standby current (<1 µA typical), 3.0 V TTL-level output compatibility, JEDEC-compliant SOIC footprint, and OTP reliability for firmware storage in legacy industrial controllers and card-edge systems.
Technical Context
The AT27LV512A-90RU implements a CMOS-based OTP EPROM architecture with two-line control (CE and OE/VPP) enabling bus contention prevention in shared-memory systems. Its dual-supply design allows seamless integration into mixed-voltage platforms-operating at 3.0–3.6 V for low-power portables or 4.5–5.5 V for legacy 5 V host compatibility.
It uses a Rapid Programming Algorithm requiring VCC = 6.5 V and OE/VPP = 13.0 V, with verified 100 µs CE pulse width per byte and up to 10 reprogramming attempts on verification failure. The integrated Product Identification Code (Manufacturer ID: 0x1E, Device ID: 0x0D) ensures algorithm auto-selection in industry-standard programmers.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specification for AT27LV512A-90RU?
The AT27LV512A-90RU has a guaranteed maximum read access time of 90 ns under industrial conditions (−40°C to +85°C) with VCC = 3.0–3.6 V or 4.5–5.5 V. This value is measured from address valid or CE/OE assertion to valid data output, and applies to both voltage ranges per the official Atmel datasheet revision 0607F.
Does AT27LV512A-90RU support true 3.3 V TTL-compatible outputs?
Yes, the AT27LV512A-90RU produces TTL-compatible outputs at VCC = 3.0 V, with VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V under specified load conditions (IOH = −2.0 mA, IOL = 2.0 mA). This enables direct interfacing with standard 5 V TTL logic without level-shifting circuitry, as confirmed in the DC characteristics table of the AT27LV512A-90RU datasheet.
What package type does AT27LV512A-90RU use, and is it lead-free?
The AT27LV512A-90RU uses a 28-lead SOIC package (code 28R), 0.330" wide, and is supplied in the green (Pb/halide-free) variant per ordering code suffix "U". This complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and eliminates lead-based solder concerns in modern assembly processes.
Can AT27LV512A-90RU be programmed using standard AT27C512R equipment?
Yes, the AT27LV512A-90RU programs identically to the AT27C512R using the same programming equipment and algorithms. Both share the same Product Identification Code (0x1E/0x0D), and the AT27LV512A-90RU accepts VCC = 6.5 V and OE/VPP = 13.0 V during programming, matching AT27C512R requirements per the datasheet's Programming Characteristics section.
What is the standby current specification for AT27LV512A-90RU at 3.3 V?
The AT27LV512A-90RU specifies a maximum standby current (ISB1) of 20 µA at VCC = 3.6 V with CE = VCC ± 0.3 V, and typical standby current is less than 1 µA at 3.3 V. This ultra-low quiescent draw is validated across the industrial temperature range and is critical for battery-operated applications requiring multi-year shelf life.
