Product details
Overview
AT28C64-15TI from Atmel is an industrial-grade, 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with 150 ns read access time, self-timed byte write (1 ms), CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O, and JEDEC-standard 28-pin SOIC package. It operates at 5V ±10%, supports READY/BUSY and DATA polling for write completion detection, and delivers 10⁴ write cycles with 10-year data retention - used in firmware storage, configuration memory, and boot code retention in embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the AT28C64-15TI datasheet, AT28C64-15TI pinout, AT28C64-15TI application, or AT28C64-15TI equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), 150 ns read timing, RDY/BUSY open-drain output, VCC-sense write protection, and compatibility with microprocessor bus interfaces without external timing logic.
Technical Context
The AT28C64-15TI implements a parallel EEPROM architecture with internal address/data latching and an autonomous control timer that manages erase-before-write sequencing. Its dual-line chip enable (CE) and output enable (OE) logic enables flexible bus arbitration and prevents contention during mixed read/write operations.
Write operation relies on either RDY/BUSY level sensing (pin 1, open-drain) or DATA polling of I/O7, eliminating need for fixed delay loops. VCC sense circuitry inhibits writes below 3.8 V, and a 5 ms power-on delay ensures stable supply before enabling programming - critical for robustness in power-cycled systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 64 Kbit (8,192 × 8 bits) - sufficient for boot code, calibration tables, or device configuration in 8-bit microcontroller systems. |
| Read Access Time | 150 ns max - compatible with 5–6 MHz Z80, 8051, and 68000-based buses without wait states. |
| Byte Write Time | 1 ms typical - self-timed; frees CPU bus after address/data latch, enabling background processing. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - matches standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no auxiliary voltage required. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, automotive body electronics, and factory automation. |
| Endurance & Retention | 10,000 write cycles / 10 years data retention - validated for field-updatable parameter storage with infrequent rewrites. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA (CMOS mode) - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems. |
Pinout & Package
AT28C64-15TI is supplied in a 28-lead, 0.300" wide plastic SOIC (SOIC-28) package per JEDEC MS-012, with gull-wing leads and standard 1.27 mm pitch. Pin 1 is RDY/BUSY (open-drain); pins 1 and 17 are not connected in PLCC variants but are functional in SOIC.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus for 8K-word addressing; TTL/CMOS compatible thresholds. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; supports true read/write without direction control pins. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; enables device when OE is also low and WE high for reads. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; high-Z state prevents bus contention when deasserted. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge latches address, rising edge latches data. |
| RDY/BUSY | Status Output | Open-drain signal pulled low during write; allows wired-OR of multiple devices. |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply; decoupling required within 1 cm for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Self-timed byte write | Eliminates external timing components; internal timer handles erase-before-write and verification automatically. |
| DATA Polling (I/O7) | Enables software-driven write completion detection without dedicated status hardware or interrupt lines. |
| VCC sense & power-on delay | Prevents inadvertent writes during brown-out or power ramp-up; no external reset supervisor needed. |
| JEDEC byte-wide pinout | Direct drop-in replacement for SRAM and other parallel EEPROMs in legacy 8-bit designs. |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from -40°C to +85°C - suitable for DIN-rail PLCs, motor drives, and outdoor instrumentation. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C64B-15TI | Enhanced revision with improved data retention (20 years) and tighter tACC tolerance (150 ns guaranteed vs. 150 ns max). | Same pinout and timing; preferred for new designs requiring extended lifecycle support. | Select AT28C64B-15TI if long-term obsolescence mitigation and higher retention confidence are required. |
| MX28LV640CT-15G | 3.3 V core with 5 V tolerant I/O; 150 ns read; 5 ms write; no RDY/BUSY pin - uses only DATA polling. | Requires level-shifting for pure 5 V systems; lacks hardware busy signaling for real-time write monitoring. | Choose MX28LV640CT-15G only when migrating toward lower-voltage platforms and accepting software-only polling. |
Compared with AT28C64-15TI, the AT28C64B-15TI offers longer data retention and tighter AC specs without layout changes, while MX28LV640CT-15G trades 5 V simplicity for 3.3 V efficiency and removes RDY/BUSY - making AT28C64-15TI optimal for cost-sensitive, 5 V industrial retrofits where hardware status signaling is essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the AT28C64-15TI?
The AT28C64-15TI is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C. This specification is verified per the manufacturer's DC and AC operating range table and applies specifically to the TI suffix variant (industrial temperature, SOIC package). The device maintains full functionality-including 150 ns read access and 1 ms write timing-across this entire range without derating.
Does the AT28C64-15TI require an external high-voltage supply for programming?
No, the AT28C64-15TI operates entirely from a single 5 V ±10% supply and does not require external high-voltage programming. All write and chip erase functions use internal charge pumps. The 12 V requirement referenced in the datasheet applies only to optional features like CHIP CLEAR or device identification memory access-not to standard byte writes.
Can the AT28C64-15TI be used as a direct replacement for the AT28C64-15JC in a PLCC socket?
No - the AT28C64-15TI uses a 28-lead SOIC package, while the AT28C64-15JC uses a 32-lead PLCC package. They differ in pin count, physical footprint, and pinout. Although both share identical electrical specifications and timing, mechanical incompatibility prevents direct socket replacement without PCB redesign.
How does write protection work on the AT28C64-15TI?
The AT28C64-15TI implements three-tiered write protection: (1) VCC sense disables writes if supply drops below ~3.8 V; (2) a 5 ms internal power-on delay prevents writes until VCC stabilizes; and (3) hardware-level inhibition by holding CE high, OE low, or WE high. These mechanisms operate independently and concurrently to prevent spurious writes during power transients.
Is RDY/BUSY functionality available on all AT28C64-15TI units?
Yes - the AT28C64-15TI (SOIC package) includes a functional RDY/BUSY output on pin 1, configured as an open-drain driver. This differs from the AT28C64X variant, where pin 1 is NC. The RDY/BUSY signal goes low at write initiation and releases upon completion, enabling hardware-synchronized firmware updates without polling overhead.
