Product details
Overview
AT28C64-25JC from Atmel is a 64 Kbit (8K × 8) parallel EEPROM with JEDEC-standard byte-wide pinout, 250 ns read access time, 1 ms fast byte write cycle, and CMOS/TTL-compatible I/O. It operates at 5V ±10%, supports commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), and delivers 30 mA active current with 100 µA standby current for embedded microcontroller systems requiring nonvolatile storage with direct bus interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the AT28C64-25JC datasheet, AT28C64-25JC pinout, AT28C64-25JC application, or AT28C64-25JC equivalent, this page provides verified timing parameters, RDY/BUSY and DATA polling support, self-timed write architecture, JEDEC-compliant PLCC-32 packaging, and industrial-grade reliability data including 10⁴ write cycles and 10-year data retention.
Technical Context
The AT28C64-25JC implements a self-timed byte write cycle with internal address/data latching and automatic clear-before-write logic, eliminating external timing control. Its READY/BUSY open-drain output and I/O7 DATA polling provide two independent methods to detect write completion without CPU intervention.
It functions as a drop-in replacement for SRAM in read/write cycles-CE and OE jointly enable output, WE initiates writes-and includes VCC sense, power-on delay, and input-level write inhibition to prevent inadvertent programming. The device integrates 32 bytes of user-accessible identification memory at addresses 1FE0H–1FFFH using A9 = 12 V.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
AT28C64-25JC is packaged in a 32-lead Plastic J-Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-016 AE compliant, with 1.27 mm pitch and surface-mount footprint. Pin 1 is index-marked; pins 1 and 17 are designated "Don't Connect" per manufacturer specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus supporting full 8K-word addressing; compatible with 8085, Z80, and 68000 lower-address lines. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; high-impedance when CE or OE is high, enabling shared bus operation. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low chip select; must be low with OE low and WE high for read access; used with WE low to initiate byte write. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive; held high during write to inhibit output contention. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; falling edge latches address, rising edge latches data; initiates self-timed write cycle. |
| RDY/BUSY | Open-Drain Status Output | Pulled low during write; released high upon completion; supports wired-OR connection across multiple devices. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% supply; internally regulated for write voltage generation; includes VCC sense for write protection. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm of VCC pin for stable operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Self-timed byte write | Eliminates need for external write pulse generators or timing logic-address and data latched internally, freeing CPU bus immediately after initiation. |
| Dual write completion detection | RDY/BUSY pin and I/O7 DATA polling provide hardware- and software-based options for synchronizing write operations in interrupt-driven or polling architectures. |
| Write protection architecture | VCC sense (<3.8 V inhibits write), 5 ms power-on delay, and triple-input inhibit (CE high / OE low / WE high) prevent accidental overwrites during power transitions or noise events. |
| JEDEC-standard pinout | Ensures compatibility with existing PCB layouts designed for 2764/27128 EPROMs or 6264 SRAMs-no redesign needed for drop-in upgrade to nonvolatile storage. |
| User-accessible ID memory | 32 bytes at 1FE0H–1FFFH, accessed via A9 = 12 V, enable unique device serialization, revision tracking, or calibration offset storage without consuming main array space. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C64B-25JC | Revised version with improved data retention (20 years) and enhanced ESD tolerance; same pinout, timing, and voltage specs. | Preferred for new designs requiring extended archival storage or higher robustness in noisy industrial environments. | Select AT28C64B-25JC for new designs; AT28C64-25JC remains valid for legacy board reuse or cost-sensitive volume production. |
| MX28F640KC-25JC | Intel-compatible 64 Kbit flash EEPROM; requires 12 V VPP for programming; no RDY/BUSY pin; 500 ns read access; 10⁵ endurance. | Suitable where higher endurance is critical but RDY/BUSY signaling and sub-500 ns timing are not required. | Choose MX28F640KC-25JC only if flash-specific features (sector erase, faster bulk writes) are needed; not a pin-compatible substitute. |
Compared with AT28C64-25JC, the AT28C64B-25JC offers longer data retention without layout or firmware changes, while the MX28F640KC-25JC trades RDY/BUSY support and speed for higher endurance and flash architecture-but requires VPP routing and lacks self-timed writes.

FAQ
What is the maximum read access time specified for AT28C64-25JC?
The AT28C64-25JC has a maximum read access time of 250 ns, measured from address stabilization to valid data on I/O0–I/O7 under commercial temperature conditions (0°C to +70°C) and VCC = 5 V ±10%. This value is guaranteed across all operating conditions and aligns with the "-25" speed grade designation in the part number.
Does AT28C64-25JC support both hardware and software methods to detect write completion?
Yes, AT28C64-25JC supports two independent write completion detection methods: the RDY/BUSY pin (open-drain, pulled low during write) and DATA polling on I/O7 (complement of written data until completion). Both are fully functional in the PLCC package and require no external components.
Is AT28C64-25JC pin-compatible with standard SRAM or EPROM devices?
Yes, AT28C64-25JC uses a JEDEC-approved byte-wide pinout identical to 2764 EPROMs and 6264 SRAMs. Its CE, OE, and WE control scheme allows direct substitution in existing 28-pin DIP or 32-pin PLCC sockets without PCB modification-provided VCC and timing constraints are met.
What write protection mechanisms does AT28C64-25JC implement?
AT28C64-25JC implements three hardware-level write protections: (1) VCC sense that disables writes below ~3.8 V, (2) 5 ms internal power-on delay before write enable, and (3) logical inhibition requiring CE low, OE high, and WE low simultaneously-any deviation blocks byte programming.
Can AT28C64-25JC be used in industrial temperature applications?
No-AT28C64-25JC is rated for commercial temperature range only (0°C to +70°C). For industrial operation (-40°C to +85°C), the correct variant is AT28C64-25JI (same speed, same PLCC package, extended temperature qualification).
