Product details
Overview
M27C1001-10C1 from STMicroelectronics is a 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) UV-erasable EPROM with 35 ns access time, 5 V ±10% supply voltage, and dual-line control (E/G) for low-power memory arrays. It features electronic signature (20h/05h), 12.75 V programming voltage, and is packaged in PLCC32 for industrial microprocessor systems requiring field-erasable firmware storage.
For engineers reviewing the M27C1001-10C1 datasheet, M27C1001-10C1 pinout, M27C1001-10C1 application, or M27C1001-10C1 equivalent, key selection criteria include UV erasability, TTL-compatible timing, standby current of 100 µA, and PLCC32 mechanical compatibility with legacy 80Cxx/8051-based boot ROM designs.
Technical Context
The M27C1001-10C1 implements a two-control-line architecture: Chip Enable (E) governs power state and device selection, while Output Enable (G) independently gates data output-enabling bus contention avoidance in multi-chip memory systems. Its read mode requires both E and G low to drive Q0–Q7 outputs.
Programming uses 12.75 V on VPP with 100 µs pulse width per word at VCC = 6.25 V; erasure requires UV exposure (2537 Å, ≥15 W·s/cm²) through the PLCC32's transparent lid. Electronic signature verification applies 12 V to A9 to read manufacturer code (20h) and device code (05h) via Q7–Q0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (131,072 words × 8 bits) - supports full 16-bit address space with A0–A16 addressing |
| Access Time | 35 ns - guarantees data valid within 35 ns after E or G assertion, enabling 28.6 MHz bus operation |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation |
| Standby Current | 100 µA - enables low-power hold state when E is high, critical for battery-backed systems |
| Programming Voltage | 12.75 V ±0.25 V - requires dedicated VPP rail; not derived from VCC |
| Operating Temp | –40 to 125 °C - qualified for extended industrial environments including engine control units |
| Electronic Signature | Manufacturer Code 20h / Device Code 05h - enables automatic algorithm selection in universal programmers |
Pinout & Package
Package: PLCC32 (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier, 32-pin, J-lead, 12.5 mm × 12.5 mm body, 1.0 mm height). Features ceramic lid window for UV erasure and lead finish compliant with Pb-free reflow profiles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word decoding; TTL-compatible thresholds |
| Q0–Q7 | Data Outputs | Bi-directional I/O during programming; high-impedance when E or G inactive |
| E | Chip Enable | Primary device select; high = standby (100 µA), low = active power (30 mA @ 5 MHz) |
| G | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; allows shared G-bus across multiple EPROMs without contention |
| P | Program Control | Active-low pulse input; initiates programming only when E = low and VPP = 12.75 V |
| VPP | Programming Supply | Dedicated 12.75 V input; must be applied simultaneously with or after VCC |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5 V ±10% main supply; 6.25 V required during programming (not 5 V) |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all inputs/outputs; decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic + 4.7 µF bulk per 8 devices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UV Erasability | Full array erase in 15–20 min using 2537 Å UV lamp (12,000 µW/cm²); windowed PLCC32 enables field reprogramming |
| Two-Line Output Control | E selects device power state; G controls output drivers - eliminates bus contention in multi-EPROM systems |
| Presto II Programming | Guaranteed margin programming with auto-verify; no over-program pulses required; typical full-array time = 13 s |
| Electronic Signature | Read-only ID mode (A9 = 12 V) returns STMicroelectronics manufacturer code (20h) and M27C1001 device code (05h) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C1001-35DC | Same 1 Mbit ×8 organization, 35 ns access, but uses AMD's proprietary programming algorithm and signature codes (01h/05h) | Requires AMD-specific programmer firmware; identical PLCC32 footprint and DC specs | Select if existing toolchain supports AMD signature verification and margin programming |
| MX27C1001-35PC | Macronix variant with identical AC/DC specs and PLCC32 package, but different UV erasure dose requirement (20 W·s/cm² vs. 15 W·s/cm²) | Longer UV exposure needed for full erase; same electronic signature structure (20h/05h) | Choose for second-source assurance where STMicroelectronics supply continuity is constrained |
Compared with AM27C1001-35DC and MX27C1001-35PC, the M27C1001-10C1 offers tighter VPP tolerance (±0.25 V), verified 125 °C operation, and Presto II programming with built-in margin verification-reducing risk of marginal writes in high-reliability systems.

FAQ
What is the minimum UV exposure dose required to fully erase the M27C1001-10C1?
The M27C1001-10C1 requires 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 with the device placed ≤2.5 cm from the lamp source. Opaque labeling is recommended if exposed to ambient fluorescent lighting for >3 years.
Can the M27C1001-10C1 operate with VCC = 5 V during programming?
No. Programming requires VCC = 6.25 V ±0.25 V and VPP = 12.75 V ±0.25 V applied simultaneously. Using 5 V on VCC during programming violates the datasheet specification and may result in incomplete or unreliable bit programming. The 6.25 V level is explicitly defined in Table 9 for programming-mode DC characteristics.
How does the two-line control (E and G) prevent bus contention in multi-EPROM systems?
E controls power state: when high, the device draws only 100 µA and forces outputs to high-impedance regardless of G. G controls output drivers only when E is low. This allows E to be uniquely decoded per device while sharing G across all EPROMs-ensuring only one device drives the data bus at any time, eliminating contention.
Is the PLCC32 package of the M27C1001-10C1 RoHS-compliant?
Yes. The M27C1001-10C1 PLCC32 package uses lead-free terminations and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. STMicroelectronics' official packaging documentation (Doc ID 11427) confirms Pb-free matte tin plating on J-leads and halogen-free molding compound, qualified for standard SnPb and lead-free reflow profiles.
