Product details
Overview
AT28C010-12TU from Microchip Technology is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) paged parallel EEPROM with 120 ns read access time, JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, and single 5V ±10% supply operation. It supports automatic 1–128-byte page writes with internal latching and timer control, and delivers 40 mA active current and 200 µA CMOS standby current for embedded system firmware storage in industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT28C010-12TU datasheet, AT28C010-12TU pinout, AT28C010-12TU application, or AT28C010-12TU equivalent, key selection criteria include verified page-write timing (≤10 ms), DATA Polling/Toggle Bit write-completion detection, hardware/software data protection, industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), and green PLCC/TSOP packaging compliance.
Technical Context
The AT28C010-12TU implements a static RAM-compatible interface with dual-line chip enable (CE) and output enable (OE) control, enabling bus contention avoidance in microcontroller-based systems. Its internal 128-byte page register latches address and data during write initiation, freeing the bus for concurrent operations while the internal timer executes programming.
Write completion is confirmed via I/O7 DATA Polling (complement-to-data toggle) or I/O6 Toggle Bit behavior-both observable without external timing components. Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibit), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on CE/WE inputs; software protection uses a three-byte command sequence to enable/disable write lock.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits); supports full firmware image or configuration storage in resource-constrained systems |
| Read Access Time | 120 ns max; enables direct replacement of SRAM in legacy 8-bit/16-bit microcontroller address/data bus interfaces |
| Page Write Cycle | ≤10 ms; reduces firmware update latency versus byte-by-byte writes, critical for field-programmable devices |
| Endurance | 10,000 write/erase cycles (standard grade); ensures reliable reprogramming over product lifetime in industrial settings |
| Data Retention | 10 years at 85°C; validated for long-term storage in unpowered equipment or infrequently updated configurations |

Pinout & Package
AT28C010-12TU is available in 32-lead PLCC (plastic leaded chip carrier) and 32-lead TSOP (thin small outline package), both with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout and matte tin (Sn) terminal finish. The "U" suffix denotes industrial temperature grade and green (Pb/halide-free) packaging.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word addressing; A7–A16 define page boundaries for 128-byte page writes |

| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global device select; must be low with OE low and WE high for read access; controls bus arbitration |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; high-Z state when deasserted prevents bus contention during shared memory access |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge latches address/data; initiates byte or page write cycles with internal timing |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 5V ±10% supply with 200 µA standby current; no separate VPP required for programming |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C010-15TU | 150 ns read access time; identical pinout, endurance, and feature set | Suitable where 120 ns timing margin is unnecessary; lower cost in volume production | Select when system timing budget allows relaxed access time without sacrificing reliability or packaging |
| MX28LV160CBTI-12G | 16-Mbit capacity, 3V core with 5V I/O tolerance, 120 ns access, but requires VPP = 12V for programming | Higher density for future-proofing; not drop-in due to different voltage requirements and pinout | Consider only if migrating to larger memory footprint and redesigning power delivery for dual-supply support |
Compared with AT28C010-12TU, the -15TU offers identical functionality at reduced speed grade for cost-sensitive designs, while MX28LV160CBTI-12G provides higher density but demands board-level changes for VPP routing and voltage translation-neither is pin-compatible.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write size supported by the AT28C010-12TU?
The AT28C010-12TU supports up to 128 bytes per page write operation, enabled by its internal 128-byte address and data latch. This capability allows firmware updates to complete in ≤10 ms per page, significantly accelerating field reprogramming compared to byte-wise writes. The AT28C010-12TU requires all bytes in a page write to reside within the same 128-byte boundary defined by address bits A7–A16.
Does the AT28C010-12TU require a high-voltage programming supply (VPP)?
No, the AT28C010-12TU operates from a single 5V ±10% supply and does not require an external VPP voltage for normal read/write operations. Only the optional device identification area (1FF80H–1FFFFH) requires 12V applied to A9 for programming; standard memory array writes use only VCC. This eliminates the need for charge pumps or high-voltage generators in the AT28C010-12TU system design.
How does hardware write protection function on the AT28C010-12TU?
Hardware write protection on the AT28C010-12TU activates automatically when VCC drops below ~3.8 V, blocks writes for 5 ms after power-on, and ignores pulses <15 ns wide on CE/WE pins. These features prevent corruption during brown-out conditions or EMI events. The AT28C010-12TU maintains this protection without software intervention, ensuring data integrity even in unattended industrial deployments.
Can the AT28C010-12TU be used as a direct replacement for SRAM in existing designs?
Yes-the AT28C010-12TU uses a static RAM-compatible interface with identical CE/OE/WE control timing and 120 ns read access, allowing direct substitution in many 8-bit/16-bit microcontroller systems. However, write cycles require explicit polling (via I/O7 or I/O6) or timeout handling, unlike SRAM's instantaneous writes. The AT28C010-12TU retains data without power, eliminating battery backup requirements.
What is the purpose of the 128-byte device identification area in the AT28C010-12TU?
The AT28C010-12TU includes 128 bytes of dedicated EEPROM space at addresses 1FF80H–1FFFFH, accessible only when A9 is biased to 12V ±0.5V. This area is intended for permanent device serialization, calibration data, or manufacturing trace codes-separate from the main memory array. It enables secure, tamper-resistant storage of unique identifiers without consuming application memory space in the AT28C010-12TU.
