Product details
Overview
AT28C010-12JU-235 from Microchip Technology is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) paged parallel EEPROM with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, 120 ns read access time, and single 5V ±10% supply operation. It supports hardware/software data protection, DATA polling and toggle-bit write completion detection, and is used in industrial embedded systems for firmware storage, configuration retention, and boot code backup.
For engineers reviewing the AT28C010-12JU-235 datasheet, AT28C010-12JU-235 pinout, AT28C010-12JU-235 application, or AT28C010-12JU-235 equivalent, key selection criteria include page-write timing (≤10 ms), CMOS/TTL compatibility, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), green Pb/halide-free PLCC packaging, and 10,000/100,000-cycle endurance options.
Technical Context
The AT28C010-12JU-235 implements a paged architecture with a 128-byte internal latch, enabling up to 128-byte writes per internal programming cycle. Its dual-line control (CE/OE) allows flexible bus contention management during read operations, while WE-controlled or CE-controlled write initiation supports both byte and page modes.
It integrates VCC-sense and power-on delay circuitry to inhibit writes below 3.8V and enforce a 5 ms delay after power-up. Software Data Protection (SDP) uses a three-byte command sequence (AAh/55h/A0h) to enable/disable write protection, and device identification space (128 bytes at 1FF80H–1FFFFH) is accessible via A9 = 12V.
Key Specifications

| Standby Current | 200 µA (CMOS); enables low-power hold states in battery-backed applications |
Pinout & Package
AT28C010-12JU-235 is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) with matte Sn terminal finish and industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C). Pin 1 is designated as "Don't Connect" per datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| DC (Pin 1) | Don't Connect | No internal connection; must remain unconnected on PCB |
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A7–A16 define page boundaries for 128-byte writes |

| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables device when low and OE low/WE high (read) or WE low (write) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; places I/O pins in high-Z state when high to prevent bus contention |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte or page write on falling edge; latches address/data internally |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% main supply; powers all internal logic and memory array |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and power; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
| NC (Pins 6, 9) | No Connect | Unbonded die pads; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout best practice |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 128-byte Page Write | Reduces firmware update time by up to 128× vs. sequential byte writes; internal latching frees address/data bus mid-operation |
| DATA Polling (I/O7) | Enables real-time write completion detection without timers or interrupts; returns complemented data until write finishes |
| Toggle Bit (I/O6) | Provides alternative asynchronous write status monitoring; toggles during write, stabilizes on completion |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | VCC-sense and 5 ms power-on delay prevent spurious writes during brown-out or power ramp-up |
| Software Data Protection | Three-byte unlock sequence (5555h/2AAAh/5555h + A0h) required before any protected write; prevents accidental overwrites |
| Device Identification Area | 128-byte reserved EEPROM block (1FF80H–1FFFFH) accessible at 12V on A9 for serialization or calibration data storage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C010-15JU | 150 ns read access time; otherwise identical pinout, page-write timing, and feature set | Suitable where system timing budget allows slower access; lower cost in high-volume procurement | Select when 150 ns read latency is acceptable and cost optimization is prioritized over maximum speed |
| MX28F1000PC | Intel-compatible 1-Mbit parallel EEPROM; 120 ns access but requires 12V VPP for programming; no built-in software protection | Legacy Intel architecture systems requiring pin-for-pin compatibility with older 28F-series devices | Choose only for backward compatibility with existing Intel-based designs; lacks AT28C010's integrated SDP and VCC-sense safety features |
Compared with AT28C010-15JU, the AT28C010-12JU-235 delivers tighter read timing for time-critical applications; versus MX28F1000PC, it eliminates external high-voltage programming circuitry and adds robust write-protection mechanisms essential for modern industrial firmware integrity.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write size supported by the AT28C010-12JU-235?
The AT28C010-12JU-235 supports a maximum page write size of 128 bytes per internal programming cycle. This is enabled by its 128-byte internal address and data latch. All bytes written within a single page operation must reside on the same 128-byte boundary defined by address bits A7–A16, and each successive byte must be loaded within 150 µs of the previous one to maintain page mode operation.
Does the AT28C010-12JU-235 require a high-voltage programming supply?
No, the AT28C010-12JU-235 operates from a single 5V ±10% supply and does not require an external high-voltage (e.g., 12V) programming source for standard write operations. The optional 12V on A9 is used exclusively for accessing the 128-byte device identification area (1FF80H–1FFFFH), not for main array programming. All byte and page writes use only VCC.
How does DATA polling work on the AT28C010-12JU-235?
During a write cycle, reading the last-written byte from the AT28C010-12JU-235 causes I/O7 to output the complement of the written data. Once the internal write completes, I/O7 returns the true data value. This allows host firmware to poll I/O7 in a tight loop to detect write completion without fixed delays or external interrupts - a critical feature for deterministic real-time systems using the AT28C010-12JU-235.
What is the purpose of the "DC" pin on the AT28C010-12JU-235 PLCC package?
The "DC" pin (Pin 1) on the AT28C010-12JU-235 PLCC package is designated "Don't Connect" in the official Microchip datasheet DS20006331A. It has no internal connection and must remain unconnected on the PCB. Routing or soldering this pin may cause mechanical stress or unintended coupling; it serves solely as a physical orientation marker for automated placement equipment.
Can the AT28C010-12JU-235 be used as a direct replacement for SRAM in existing designs?
Yes - the AT28C010-12JU-235 is designed for SRAM drop-in replacement in 5V systems. Its JEDEC-approved byte-wide pinout, TTL/CMOS-compatible I/O, and read-access timing (120 ns) match common fast SRAMs. However, write operations require explicit CE/OE/WE sequencing and write completion detection (via DATA polling or toggle bit), unlike SRAM's transparent write behavior. The AT28C010-12JU-235 retains data without power, eliminating battery backup requirements.
