Product details
Overview
AT28C010-15JU-235 from Microchip Technology is a 1-Mbit (128K × 8) paged parallel EEPROM with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, 150 ns read access time, 10 ms maximum page write cycle, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It operates from a single 5V ±10% supply, supports hardware/software data protection, and is used in firmware storage, configuration memory, and boot code retention for embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT28C010-15JU-235 datasheet, AT28C010-15JU-235 pinout, AT28C010-15JU-235 application, or AT28C010-15JU-235 equivalent, key selection considerations include page-write timing (≤10 ms), DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-write detection, CMOS/TTL compatibility, 200 µA standby current, and PLCC-32 packaging with A0–A16 address bus and I/O0–I/O7 bidirectional data bus.
Technical Context
The AT28C010-15JU-235 implements a paged write architecture with a 128-byte internal latching register, enabling up to 128 bytes to be loaded before automatic internal programming. Its dual-line control (CE/OE/WE) allows flexible bus arbitration and prevents contention during read/write transitions.
It integrates VCC-sense write inhibition (<3.8 V), 5 ms power-on delay, noise filtering on WE/CE inputs, and optional software data protection (SDP) via three-byte command sequences. Device identification space (128 bytes at 1FF80H–1FFFFH) and optional 12V-based chip erase are supported.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - supports full firmware image or multi-parameter configuration storage. |
| Read Access Time | 150 ns max - enables direct replacement of SRAM in legacy 8-bit microcontroller systems without timing redesign. |
| Page Write Cycle | 10 ms max - reduces firmware update latency vs. byte-by-byte writes; supports burst loading of up to 128 bytes per operation. |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no auxiliary voltage required. |
| Standby Current | 200 µA (CMOS mode) - suitable for battery-backed or low-power industrial systems requiring persistent nonvolatile storage. |

| Data Retention | 10 years - ensures long-term reliability in unattended equipment such as industrial PLCs and telecom line cards. |
Pinout & Package
AT28C010-15JU-235 uses a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout. Pin 1 is NC (No Connect); pins A0–A16 provide full 17-bit addressing; I/O0–I/O7 serve as bidirectional data bus; CE, OE, and WE enable standard parallel memory interface timing.
| 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. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; supports true read/write operations and DATA Polling (I/O7) or Toggle Bit (I/O6) status monitoring. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for read/write access; high-Z output when deasserted. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE to gate data bus; enables bus sharing in multi-device systems. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls byte or page write initiation; latches data on rising edge after address setup. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% supply input; powers all internal logic and memory array; includes VCC-sense write inhibit circuitry. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference; pin 16 in PLCC; critical for noise immunity in high-speed read/write cycles. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 30 (PLCC) - unused; must remain unconnected per datasheet; not tied to VCC/GND or pulled. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 128-byte Page Write Register | Reduces firmware update time by >90% vs. byte writes; eliminates host-side address incrementing overhead during bulk writes. |
| DATA Polling (I/O7) | Enables real-time write completion detection without external timers or interrupts; supports deterministic polling loops in resource-constrained MCUs. |
| Toggle Bit (I/O6) | Provides asynchronous write status feedback; allows concurrent host processing while monitoring I/O6 state changes. |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | VCC-sense and 5 ms power-on delay prevent corruption during brown-out or cold-start conditions; no external supervisor IC required. |
| Software Data Protection (SDP) | Three-byte unlock sequence (AAh/55h/A0h) prevents accidental writes; SDP remains active across power cycles until explicitly disabled. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C010-12JU | 120 ns read access time; otherwise identical pinout, timing, and feature set. | Suitable where tighter read timing is required in high-speed bus systems (e.g., 8-MHz Z80 or 68000 designs). | Select when system timing budget demands sub-150 ns access; same PCB layout and firmware interface. |
| MN63C010-15PL | Same 1-Mbit paged EEPROM architecture but manufactured by Macronix; 150 ns read, PLCC-32, 5V supply. | Validated in automotive-grade designs requiring AEC-Q100 qualification (AT28C010 is industrial grade only). | Choose for automotive applications needing extended temperature validation; verify SDP command compatibility before migration. |
Compared with AT28C010-15JU-235, the AT28C010-12JU offers faster read timing for legacy high-clock-rate systems, while MN63C010-15PL provides automotive qualification at the cost of different manufacturer-specific SDP implementation - both require no PCB changes but differ in qualification scope and timing margin.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write size supported by the AT28C010-15JU-235?
The AT28C010-15JU-235 supports a maximum page write size of 128 bytes. This is enabled by its internal 128-byte page register, which latches address and data during a single write initiation. All 128 bytes must reside within the same page (defined by A7–A16), and successive bytes must be loaded within 150 µs of each other to avoid premature internal programming. The AT28C010-15JU-235 does not support partial-page writes smaller than 1 byte or larger than 128 bytes.
Does the AT28C010-15JU-235 require a 12V supply for any operation?
The AT28C010-15JU-235 operates exclusively from a 5V ±10% supply for normal read/write functions. A 12V ±0.5V supply is required only for accessing the dedicated 128-byte device identification area (addresses 1FF80H–1FFFFH) by raising A9 to 12V - this is an optional, infrequent operation for manufacturing serialization. All standard memory operations, including page writes, DATA polling, and software data protection, function at 5V only.
How does hardware write protection work on the AT28C010-15JU-235?
Hardware write protection on the AT28C010-15JU-235 consists of four integrated mechanisms: (1) VCC sense that inhibits writes if supply drops below ~3.8V; (2) 5 ms power-on delay before write enable; (3) write inhibition when OE is low, CE is high, or WE is high; and (4) noise filtering rejecting pulses <15 ns on WE/CE. These operate autonomously without firmware involvement, ensuring robustness during power transients. The AT28C010-15JU-235 does not rely on external components for this protection.
Can the AT28C010-15JU-235 be used as a direct replacement for EPROMs like the 27C010?
Yes, the AT28C010-15JU-235 is designed as a functional and pin-compatible replacement for 1-Mbit EPROMs such as the 27C010, using the same JEDEC-standard 32-pin byte-wide footprint (PLCC or TSOP). Unlike EPROMs, it requires no UV erasure and supports in-system electrical reprogramming. However, the AT28C010-15JU-235 uses different control timing (CE/OE/WE vs. OE/CE only) and lacks the 27C010's program verify mode - firmware must implement DATA polling or Toggle Bit detection instead of relying on EPROM-style status pins.
What is the purpose of the "U" suffix in AT28C010-15JU-235?
The "U" in AT28C010-15JU-235 denotes the industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C) and matte tin (Sn) terminal finish per Microchip's part numbering system. It confirms the device is qualified for extended thermal operation in harsh environments such as factory automation and outdoor telecom equipment. The "J" specifies the 32-lead PLCC package, and "15" indicates the 150 ns read access speed grade. The "235" is a date/batch code and does not affect electrical specifications. The AT28C010-15JU-235 is not rated for automotive or military temperature ranges.
