Product details
Overview
M27C1001-10C6 from STMicroelectronics is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) UV-erasable EPROM with 35 ns access time, 5V ±10% supply voltage, and FDIP32W ceramic window package enabling ultraviolet erasure. It features dual-line control (E/G), electronic signature (20h/05h), and operates across –40°C to 85°C for embedded microprocessor program storage.
For engineers reviewing the M27C1001-10C6 datasheet, M27C1001-10C6 pinout, M27C1001-10C6 application, or M27C1001-10C6 equivalent, key selection criteria include UV-erasability, 35 ns read timing, TTL-compatible I/O, 12.75V programming voltage, and FDIP32W mechanical compatibility in legacy industrial controller designs.
Technical Context
The M27C1001-10C6 implements a standard NMOS EPROM architecture with address decoding for A0–A16 (131,072 locations), parallel Q0–Q7 data I/O, and two independent enable controls: Chip Enable (E) for power gating and Output Enable (G) for output bus control. Its erase mechanism relies on 2537 Å UV exposure through the ceramic window.
Programming requires VPP = 12.75V ±0.25V, VCC = 6.25V ±0.25V, and 100 µs pulses applied to P while E is low; verification occurs at same VPP with P high. Electronic signature mode uses 12V on A9 to return manufacturer code 20h and device code 05h via Q7–Q0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8), supporting full 16-bit microprocessor instruction fetch without banking |
| Access Time | 35 ns max (tAVQV), enabling direct interface with 20 MHz Z80 or 8086 systems |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% in read mode; supports legacy 5V-only system rails without regulation overhead |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 12.75V ±0.25V, requiring dedicated HV generator but ensuring reliable Fowler-Nordheim tunneling |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C (Grade 6), validated for industrial PLC and telecom line card environments |
| Standby Current | 100 µA max (ICC2), reducing idle power in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems |

Pinout & Package
FDIP32W (32-pin ceramic frit-seal DIP with UV-transparent window), 42.0 mm × 15.2 mm body, 2.54 mm lead pitch, 5.72 mm height - designed for socketed insertion and repeat UV erasure cycles.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus accepting full 131K word range; TTL-compatible thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8V, VIH ≥ 2V) |
| Q0–Q7 | Data Outputs | Bi-directional during programming (data-in), tri-state during standby/read; 2.1 mA sink capability |
| E | Chip Enable | Primary device select; CMOS-high (VIH > VCC–0.2V) forces 100 µA standby; TTL-low enables active read |
| G | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; independent of E, prevents bus contention in multi-chip memory arrays |
| P | Program Control | Active-low pulse input (100 µs width) that initiates byte programming when E = low and VPP = 12.75V |
| VPP | Programming Supply | Dedicated 12.75V pin; isolated from VCC to prevent logic rail disturbance during high-current programming pulses |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% for read; 6.25V ±0.25V for programming - separate spec ensures stable core bias during HV operation |
| VSS | Ground | Common reference for all I/O and internal circuitry; decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic per device |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 17 (DIP) unconnected internally; no routing or termination required |

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 PDIP32 package without UV window; requires one-time programming only. | Not suitable for field-upgradable systems; limited to factory-programmed deployments where erasure is unnecessary. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs field reprogrammability and ceramic package robustness is not required. |
| MX27C1001-35PC | Pin-compatible 1 Mbit EPROM with identical FDIP32W package and 35 ns timing, but manufactured by Macronix with different programming algorithm timing. | Requires updated programmer firmware for PRESTO II-equivalent verify sequence; UV erasure characteristics differ slightly (20 min vs. 18 min at same dose). | Valid drop-in replacement only after validation on target programming hardware and UV erasure station. |
Compared with AM27C1001-35DC, M27C1001-10C6 provides field-erasable flexibility at the cost of higher packaging expense; versus MX27C1001-35PC, it guarantees ST's PRESTO II margin-mode programming and full datasheet compliance for legacy ST-based toolchains.

FAQ
What UV wavelength and exposure dose are required to fully erase the M27C1001-10C6?
The M27C1001-10C6 requires short-wave ultraviolet light at 2537 Å with a minimum integrated dose of 15 W·sec/cm². Using a standard 12,000 µW/cm² UV lamp, erasure is complete in 15–20 minutes when the device is placed within 2.5 cm of the lamp source. Fluorescent ambient lighting may cause partial erasure over years; opaque window labels are recommended for long-term storage.
Can the M27C1001-10C6 be operated with VCC = 5V during programming?
No. Programming requires VCC = 6.25V ±0.25V and VPP = 12.75V ±0.25V applied simultaneously, with VCC established before or concurrently with VPP. Using 5V for VCC during programming violates the DC characteristics table and risks incomplete programming or reduced data retention due to insufficient tunneling voltage margin.
How does the dual-line control (E and G) prevent bus contention in multi-EPROM systems?
E controls power state: when high, ICC drops to 100 µA and outputs go high-Z regardless of G. G controls output drivers only: when low and E is low, Q0–Q7 drive valid data; when high and E is low, outputs enter high-Z without affecting power. This allows one E line per device (for power isolation) and shared G across all devices (for synchronized read gating), eliminating contention during partial array access.
Is the electronic signature accessible at full operating temperature range?
No. The electronic signature mode is specified only at TA = 25°C ±5°C, matching the programming ambient requirement. At –40°C or +85°C, A9 voltage tolerance (11.5–12.5V) and output drive strength are not guaranteed for signature readback; it is intended solely for room-temperature programmer identification prior to programming or erasure.
