Product details
Overview
AT28C010-15JU from Microchip Technology is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) paged parallel EEPROM with 150 ns read access time, JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It operates from a single 5V ±10% supply, supports hardware/software data protection, and delivers up to 100,000 write cycles with 10-year data retention - used in firmware storage, configuration memory, and boot code retention for embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT28C010-15JU datasheet, AT28C010-15JU pinout, AT28C010-15JU application, or AT28C010-15JU equivalent, key selection considerations include page-write timing (≤10 ms), DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-write detection, CMOS/TTL compatibility, and PLCC-32 packaging with no-connect pin handling.
Technical Context
The AT28C010-15JU implements a paged architecture with a 128-byte internal latching register, enabling simultaneous write of 1–128 bytes per cycle without external address/data bus hold. Its dual-line control (CE/OE) enables flexible bus contention management during read operations, while WE-controlled or CE-controlled write initiation supports both byte and page modes.
Internal VCC sensing (write inhibit below 3.8 V), 5 ms power-on delay, noise filtering (<15 ns pulse rejection), and software data protection (3-byte command sequence) collectively ensure robust immunity against inadvertent writes during power transitions or noise events - critical for field-deployed industrial systems.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT28C010-15JU is supplied in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout. Pin 1 is a no-connect (NC); A16–A0, I/O7–I/O0, CE, OE, WE, VCC, and GND are fully defined per datasheet DS20006331A.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; high-Z when high |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte or page write on falling edge |
| VCC | Power supply | +5V ±10% main supply; includes internal VCC sense for write inhibition below 3.8 V |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power return path; decoupling required per JEDEC layout guidelines |
| NC (Pin 1) | No connect | Unbonded pin; must remain unconnected per Microchip specification |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 128-byte page write register | Reduces host CPU overhead by allowing burst loading of up to 128 bytes before internal programming begins |
| DATA Polling (I/O7) | Enables real-time write completion detection without fixed delays or external timers |
| Toggle Bit (I/O6) | Provides alternative asynchronous write-status monitoring via bit-flip behavior during programming |
| Hardware write protection | VCC sense, 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering prevent spurious writes during brown-out or EMI events |
| Software data protection (SDP) | 3-byte command sequence (AA/55/A0) enables user-configurable lock/unlock of entire memory array |
| 128-byte device ID area | Dedicated EEPROM region (1FF80H–1FFFFH) accessible via 12V 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C010-15TU | Identical electrical specs and pinout; packaged in 32-lead TSOP instead of PLCC | Preferred for space-constrained PCBs with surface-mount assembly; lacks PLCC's socket compatibility | Select when board area is limited and reworkability is less critical than footprint density |
| AT28C256-15JU | 256 K × 8 (2 Mbit), same 150 ns speed, PLCC-32, but requires A17 address line and different page size (64 bytes) | Supports larger firmware images; not pin-compatible due to A17 requirement and altered pin mapping (e.g., NC vs. A17) | Choose only if memory capacity expansion is required and PCB layout allows A17 routing and signal integrity validation |
Compared with AT28C010-15TU, the AT28C010-15JU offers socket-based field upgradeability and thermal cycling resilience; compared with AT28C256-15JU, it provides guaranteed pin compatibility and simpler address decoding for legacy 1-Mbit designs - making it optimal for maintenance of existing industrial platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write time for AT28C010-15JU?
The AT28C010-15JU has a maximum page write cycle time of 10 ms, as specified in the AC characteristics table (tWC). This applies to all 1–128 byte writes within a single page. The internal control timer manages the full programming sequence autonomously after the last byte is latched, freeing the host bus for other tasks during the 10 ms window. AT28C010-15JU does not require external timing components to meet this spec.
Does AT28C010-15JU support both hardware and software write protection?
Yes, AT28C010-15JU integrates dual-layer write protection: hardware features include VCC sensing (inhibits writes below ~3.8 V), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on WE/CE inputs; software protection uses a 3-byte command sequence (AA/55/A0 to addresses 5555H/2AAAH/5555H) to enable/disable full-array locking. Both mechanisms operate independently and are active simultaneously in AT28C010-15JU.
What is the function of Pin 1 on AT28C010-15JU?
Pin 1 on AT28C010-15JU is designated "Don't Connect" (DC) per Microchip's datasheet DS20006331A. It is an unbonded, no-connect terminal and must remain unconnected in the PCB layout. Routing or soldering to Pin 1 may cause functional instability or violate JEDEC-compliant operation. All valid signals for AT28C010-15JU are assigned to Pins 2–32 as defined in Table 2-1.
Can AT28C010-15JU be used as a direct replacement for older EPROMs like 27C010?
AT28C010-15JU is electrically and pinout-compatible with 27C010 EPROMs in read mode (same VCC, address/data bus, CE/OE/WE logic levels), but differs in write methodology: it requires no UV erasure and supports in-system page writes. While it fits the same PLCC-32 socket, AT28C010-15JU eliminates UV erasers and programmers - making it a functional, drop-in upgrade for 27C010-based designs where firmware updates are needed post-deployment.
How is end-of-write detection implemented in AT28C010-15JU?
AT28C010-15JU provides two independent, hardware-verified methods: DATA Polling monitors I/O7, which outputs the complement of the last written byte until programming completes; Toggle Bit monitors I/O6, which toggles logic states during active programming and stabilizes upon completion. Both methods allow the host to poll asynchronously without fixed delays - a core design feature confirmed in Sections 5.14 and 5.16 of the AT28C010-15JU datasheet.
