Product details
Overview
AT28C010E-15PU from Atmel 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-15PU datasheet, AT28C010E-15PU pinout, AT28C010E-15PU application, or AT28C010E-15PU equivalent, key selection criteria include page-write endurance (100K cycles), DATA polling/toggle-bit write completion detection, CMOS/TTL I/O compatibility, and green (Pb/halide-free) PDIP packaging.
Technical Context
The AT28C010E-15PU implements a paged architecture with a 128-byte internal latched buffer, enabling simultaneous write of 1–128 bytes per internal programming cycle. Its dual-line chip enable (CE) and output enable (OE) control allows flexible bus contention management during read operations.
Write operation relies on internal timing with no external clock required: address and data are latched on CE/WE edges, followed by autonomous internal programming. End-of-write detection is supported via DATA polling on I/O7 or toggle-bit behavior on I/O6 - both usable at any point during the write cycle.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT28C010E-15PU uses a 32-lead Plastic Dual Inline Package (PDIP), 0.600" wide (32P6), with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout and through-hole mounting. Pin 1 is A0; pin 32 is VCC; pins 17–24 are I/O0–I/O7; CE, OE, and WE are dedicated control inputs; A0–A16 provide full 17-bit addressing; NC pins are internally unconnected.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word decoding; A7–A16 define page boundaries for 128-byte page writes. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global device select; when high, forces outputs to high-impedance and inhibits all writes regardless of OE/WE state. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; must be low with CE low and WE high for valid data output; enables bus sharing with other peripherals. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge latches address/data; rising edge initiates internal programming; noise-filtered against <15 ns glitches. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | CMOS/TTL-compatible 8-bit data path; I/O7 provides DATA polling feedback; I/O6 provides toggle-bit write status indication. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% main supply; powers internal latches, timers, and EEPROM array; includes VCC sense for write inhibition during brownout. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; pin 16 in PDIP; decoupling capacitor placement near this pin critical for stable write timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 128-byte page register | Enables burst loading of up to 128 bytes before internal programming begins - frees address/data bus for concurrent host operations. |
| DATA polling on I/O7 | Allows real-time detection of write completion without fixed delays or external timers - reduces software overhead in interrupt-driven systems. |
| Software Data Protection (SDP) | User-configurable 3-byte unlock sequence prevents accidental writes during power transitions - retains protection across power cycles. |
| Dual write detection (polling + toggle bit) | Provides redundant, pin-level confirmation of write completion - improves robustness in noisy industrial environments. |
| 128-byte device ID area | Separate EEPROM segment (1FF80H–1FFFFH) accessible via 12V on A9 - supports unique unit serialization or calibration data storage. |

FAQ
What is the endurance rating of the AT28C010E-15PU?
The AT28C010E-15PU is rated for 100,000 write/erase cycles - confirmed by Atmel's characterization and specified in the "Options" section of the ordering information table. This high-endurance variant (denoted by the 'E' suffix) exceeds the standard AT28C010's 10K-cycle rating and is validated for applications requiring frequent field updates, such as firmware patching or dynamic calibration storage. Each cycle represents a full page or byte write operation to any location within the 128K-word array.
Does the AT28C010E-15PU support both hardware and software write protection?
Yes, the AT28C010E-15PU implements dual-layer write protection. Hardware protection includes VCC sensing (write inhibited below 3.8V), 5 ms power-on delay, noise filtering on CE/WE inputs, and standard control-line gating (CE high, OE low, or WE high blocks writes). Software Data Protection (SDP) is enabled via a three-byte unlock sequence written to specific addresses (5555H, 2AAAH, then 5555H); once activated, SDP remains active across power cycles until explicitly disabled using a separate five-byte disable sequence.
How is write completion detected on the AT28C010E-15PU?
Write completion on the AT28C010E-15PU can be detected using two independent, pin-level methods: DATA polling on I/O7 (which returns the complement of the last written byte until completion, then true data) and the toggle-bit method on I/O6 (which toggles between 0 and 1 during programming and stabilizes upon completion). Both methods are usable at any time during the write cycle and require no external timing components - enabling efficient polling loops or interrupt-driven status checking in resource-constrained systems.
What package type and lead count does the AT28C010E-15PU use?
The AT28C010E-15PU uses a 32-lead Plastic Dual Inline Package (PDIP), 0.600" wide (designated 32P6 in Atmel's ordering guide), with through-hole mounting and JEDEC-standard pinout. Pin 1 is A0; pin 16 is GND; pin 32 is VCC; I/O0–I/O7 occupy pins 17–24; and control signals CE, OE, and WE are assigned to pins 20, 22, and 23 respectively. This package is RoHS-compliant and Pb/halide-free per the 'U' suffix in the part number.
Can the AT28C010E-15PU be used as a direct replacement for older EPROMs like the 27C010?
Yes, the AT28C010E-15PU is functionally and pin-compatible with the 27C010 EPROM in read mode and shares the same JEDEC-standard 32-pin DIP footprint and byte-wide addressing. Unlike UV-erasable EPROMs, it supports in-system electrical erasure and programming without socket removal. However, write operations require proper CE/OE/WE sequencing and write-protection management - unlike EPROMs, which only require VPP during programming. No PCB changes are needed for read-only replacement; write-capable integration requires verifying timing and control logic per the AC write characteristics table.
