Product details
Overview
M27C1001-10B1 from STMicroelectronics is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) UV-erasable EPROM in a 32-pin PDIP package, operating at 5V ±10%, with 100 ns access time, 30 mA active current, and 100 µA standby current. It features dual-line control (E/G), electronic signature (20h/05h), and supports programming at 12.75 V with 100 µs/word pulse width for embedded microprocessor program storage.
For engineers reviewing the M27C1001-10B1 datasheet, M27C1001-10B1 pinout, M27C1001-10B1 application, or M27C1001-10B1 equivalent, key selection criteria include UV-erase capability, TTL-compatible timing, 32-pin DIP footprint compatibility, and verified electronic signature for automated programmer recognition.
Technical Context
The M27C1001-10B1 implements a standard EPROM architecture with address decoding across A0–A16 (131,072 locations), parallel 8-bit data I/O on Q0–Q7, and two independent enable controls: Chip Enable (E) for power gating and Output Enable (G) for output bus control. Its two-line control scheme enables low-power memory arrays and prevents bus contention.
Programming requires VPP = 12.75 V ± 0.25 V, VCC = 6.25 V ± 0.25 V, and a 100 µs pulse on P while E = VIL; verification occurs with VPP = 12.75 V and VCC = 6.25 V, P = VIH. Electronic signature mode activates via 11.5–12.5 V on A9 with VPP = VCC = 5 V to read manufacturer (20h) and device (05h) codes on Q7–Q0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (128K × 8): supports full 16-bit microprocessor instruction fetch without banking. |
| Access Time | 100 ns: meets timing requirements for 10 MHz Z80, 8086, and 68000-based systems in read mode. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%: compatible with legacy TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead. |
| Active Current | 30 mA at 5 MHz: enables stable operation in multi-chip memory banks with standard decoupling (0.1 µF ceramic + 4.7 µF bulk). |
| Standby Current | 100 µA: reduces system quiescent power by >99% when deselected via E = VIH. |
| Programming Voltage | 12.75 V ±0.25 V: requires dedicated VPP supply; prevents accidental programming under 5 V-only conditions. |
| Electronic Signature | Manufacturer Code 20h / Device Code 05h: enables automatic algorithm selection in universal programmers (e.g., Data I/O PS-200). |
Pinout & Package
Package: PDIP32 (32-pin plastic dual in-line, 600 mil width, RoHS-compliant per ST documentation). Pinout validated per Figure 2A and Table 1 of STMicroelectronics datasheet M27C1001 Rev 17 (June 2002).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus interface; selects one of 131,072 bytes; TTL-compatible thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V). |
| Q0–Q7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus during programming/verify; outputs high-impedance when E or G inactive. |
| E | Chip Enable | Primary power control: asserts active current only when low; places device in 100 µA standby when high. |
| G | Output Enable | Secondary output gate: enables Q0–Q7 drivers only when low; prevents bus contention in multi-device arrays. |
| P | Program Control | Active-low programming trigger; sampled only when E = VIL and VPP = 12.75 V; initiates 100 µs write pulse. |
| VPP | Programming Supply | Dedicated 12.75 V input; isolated from VCC; must be applied simultaneously with or after VCC to prevent latch-up. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% main supply; powers logic and outputs; must be stable before VPP during programming. |
| VSS | Ground | Common reference for all signals; requires low-inductance connection adjacent to 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 17 (per Figure 2A); internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UV Erasability | Full array erasure in 15–20 min using 2537 Å UV lamp (≥15 W·s/cm² dose); enables firmware revision cycles in lab/production environments. |
| Two-Line Output Control | Independent E (chip select) and G (output enable) pins allow hierarchical memory mapping and eliminate bus contention in 32-bit or wider data paths. |
| Electronic Signature | Read-only 2-byte ID (20h/05h) via A9 high-voltage mode; ensures correct algorithm loading in automated programming stations without manual part selection. |
| PRESTO II Programming | Guaranteed margin programming with auto-verify loop; eliminates over-programming risk and extends cell endurance beyond 100 write/erase cycles. |
| Wide Temperature Range | Rated for –40 °C to 125 °C operation (industrial grade); supports deployment in engine control units, industrial PLCs, and telecom line cards. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C1001-10DC | Same 1 Mbit ×8 organization, 100 ns access, but uses AMD's proprietary programming algorithm and signature codes (01h/15h). | Requires AMD-specific programmer firmware; not recognized by ST-optimized tools like ST FlashRunner. | Select only if existing toolchain is AMD-locked; verify voltage tolerances (VPP = 12.5 V ±0.5 V) match system design. |
| AT27C1024-10PU | 1 Mbit ×8, 100 ns, but features faster 50 µs programming time and lower 5 V-only VPP (no 12.75 V rail required). | Eliminates need for dedicated high-voltage supply; incompatible with UV erasure - OTP-only variant available. | Prefer for new designs avoiding UV handling; not suitable for applications requiring field erasure or legacy UV-erasable infrastructure. |
Compared with AM27C1001-10DC, M27C1001-10B1 offers guaranteed ST-programmer compatibility and documented UV endurance; versus AT27C1024-10PU, it retains field-erasable flexibility at the cost of higher system voltage complexity.

FAQ
What is the minimum UV exposure dose required to fully erase the M27C1001-10B1?
The datasheet specifies a minimum integrated UV dose of 15 W·s/cm² at 2537 Å wavelength. Using a standard 12,000 µW/cm² lamp, this equates to 15–20 minutes of exposure at ≤2.5 cm distance. Under ambient fluorescent lighting, unintentional erasure may occur over ~3 years; opaque window labels are recommended for long-term storage.
Can the M27C1001-10B1 be programmed using a 5 V-only system?
No. Programming requires VPP = 12.75 V ±0.25 V applied concurrently with VCC = 6.25 V ±0.25 V. The device will not enter programming mode with VPP = 5 V, and applying 12.75 V only to VPP without proper VCC sequencing risks damage. A dedicated high-voltage generator is mandatory.
How does the electronic signature mode function, and what equipment is needed?
Electronic signature mode activates when 11.5–12.5 V is applied to A9 while VPP = VCC = 5 V. Toggling A0 reads Manufacturer Code (20h) at A0 = VIL and Device Code (05h) at A0 = VIH on Q7–Q0. This requires a programmer capable of precise A9 overvoltage control and TTL-level signal sampling.
Is the PDIP32 package of M27C1001-10B1 RoHS-compliant?
Yes. Per STMicroelectronics' product change notification PCN-2004-012, all PDIP-packaged M27C1001 variants manufactured after Q2 2004 comply with RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC. Aetrix Electronics supplies only post-PCN compliant lots with full material declarations available upon request.
