Product details
Overview
AT28C010E-15JU 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 AT28C010E-15JU datasheet, AT28C010E-15JU pinout, AT28C010E-15JU application, or AT28C010E-15JU equivalent, key selection criteria include page-write timing (≤10 ms), DATA polling/Toggle Bit end-of-write detection, 100,000-cycle endurance, CMOS/TTL compatibility, and PLCC-32 packaging for legacy board compatibility.
Technical Context
The AT28C010E-15JU implements a paged architecture with a 128-byte internal latch, enabling simultaneous write of 1–128 bytes per cycle without external address/data bus hold. Its dual-line control (CE/OE) enables SRAM-like read access while preventing bus contention during deselect.
Write operation relies on internal timing: after latching address and data, an autonomous control timer executes programming; completion is signaled via I/O7 DATA Polling (complement-to-data) or I/O6 Toggle Bit behavior. Hardware protection includes VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibit), 5 ms power-on delay, and noise filtering on WE/CE inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), organized as 128K words × 8 bits - supports full firmware image or multi-parameter configuration storage in space-constrained systems. |
| Read Access Time | 150 ns max (AT28C010E-15 variant) - compatible with 6–7 MHz system buses without wait states in industrial microcontroller interfaces. |
| Page Write Cycle | 10 ms max - enables efficient bulk updates (e.g., calibration tables or field-upgradable parameters) with minimal host CPU overhead. |
| Endurance | 100,000 write/erase cycles (E-grade) - suitable for applications requiring frequent reprogramming, such as programmable logic controllers or test equipment calibration registers. |
| Data Retention | 10 years at +85°C - ensures long-term reliability in unattended industrial deployments without periodic refresh. |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% - eliminates need for dedicated voltage regulators in legacy 5V systems; compatible with TTL/CMOS logic families. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade) - validated for use in factory automation, motor drives, and outdoor instrumentation. |
Pinout & Package
AT28C010E-15JU is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout. Pin 1 is No Connect (NC). The package features gull-wing leads, matte tin finish, and RoHS-compliant green (Pb/halide-free) construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus (A0–A16) selects one of 131,072 locations; A7–A16 define page boundaries for 128-byte page writes. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; I/O7 provides DATA Polling feedback; I/O6 provides Toggle Bit status during write cycles. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low for read/write; high-Z output when CE high, regardless of OE state. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables data output only when CE is also low - prevents bus contention in shared-memory systems. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates byte or page write on falling edge; combined with CE/OE logic to define operating mode. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% supply; internal VCC sense disables writes below ~3.8 V to prevent corruption during brown-out conditions. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference; decoupling capacitor required near VCC pin for stable operation. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 1 (PLCC) is unconnected - must remain floating; not used for thermal or mechanical purposes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 128-byte Page Write | Reduces firmware update time by up to 128× vs. byte-write; host processor releases address/data bus after first byte, enabling concurrent tasks. |
| DATA Polling & Toggle Bit | Hardware-confirmed write completion detection via I/O7 (data complement) or I/O6 (toggle); eliminates need for fixed delays or external timers. |
| Software Data Protection (SDP) | User-enabled 3-byte command sequence (AAh/55h/A0h) prevents accidental writes; remains active across power cycles until explicitly disabled. |
| Hardware Write Inhibit | Automatic protection during power ramp-up (5 ms delay), brown-out (<3.8 V), and noise rejection (15 ns pulse filter on WE/CE). |
| Device Identification Area | 128-byte reserved EEPROM region (1FF80h–1FFFFh) accessible with A9 = 12 V; supports unique device 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 | 10,000-cycle endurance; no 'E' suffix; same speed/package | Limited to infrequent updates (e.g., factory-programmed firmware) | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs endurance requirements and field updates are rare. |
| AT28C010E-12JU | 120 ns read access; identical endurance, package, and feature set | Requires tighter timing margins but enables higher bus clock rates (up to ~8 MHz) | Choose when system timing budget permits faster access and lower latency is critical. |
Compared with AT28C010-15JU, the AT28C010E-15JU delivers 10× higher endurance for field-updatable systems, while AT28C010E-12JU trades 30 ns faster access for marginally increased power consumption - both retain identical pinout, protection features, and industrial temperature rating.

FAQ
What is the maximum page write size supported by the AT28C010E-15JU?
The AT28C010E-15JU supports a maximum page write size of 128 bytes. This is enabled by its internal 128-byte page register, which latches address and data upon the first write strobe. Subsequent bytes must be loaded within 150 µs of the prior byte (tBLC), and all addresses must reside on the same page defined by A7–A16. The AT28C010E-15JU does not support larger block writes or sector erases.
How does DATA Polling work on the AT28C010E-15JU during a write cycle?
During a write cycle, reading the last written byte from the AT28C010E-15JU causes I/O7 to output the complement of the written data. Once the internal programming completes, I/O7 returns to true data. This allows the host controller to poll I/O7 without fixed delays. The AT28C010E-15JU requires no external circuitry for this detection - it is fully self-contained and functional across its full industrial temperature range.
Is the AT28C010E-15JU pin-compatible with older Atmel AT28C010 variants?
Yes, the AT28C010E-15JU maintains full JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout compatibility with all AT28C010 family members in PLCC-32 packaging, including legacy Atmel versions. Pin functions, electrical tolerances, and AC timing parameters align with the original specification. The 'E' suffix denotes extended endurance (100,000 cycles), but does not affect pin assignment, voltage levels, or interface protocol.
What voltage is required to access the device identification area in the AT28C010E-15JU?
The device identification area (1FF80h–1FFFFh, 128 bytes) in the AT28C010E-15JU requires A9 to be raised to 12.0 V ± 0.5 V. This elevated voltage enables special programming and read access to the reserved region, which is otherwise inaccessible under standard 5 V operation. All other address and data pins operate at standard 5 V levels during this mode.
Does the AT28C010E-15JU support chip erase, and if so, how is it initiated?
Yes, the AT28C010E-15JU supports optional software chip erase using a 6-byte command sequence applied to specific addresses. Erase is initiated by applying 12.0 V ± 0.5 V to A9 while executing the sequence - details are documented in Microchip's Software Chip Erase application note. The AT28C010E-15JU does not support hardware reset-based or VPP-only erase methods.
