Product details
Overview
M27C1001-10F1 from STMicroelectronics is a 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) UV-erasable EPROM in FDIP32W ceramic window package, operating at 5V ±10%, with 100 ns access time, 30 mA active current, and 100 µA standby current. It serves as non-volatile program storage in legacy microprocessor systems requiring field-erasable firmware.
For engineers reviewing the M27C1001-10F1 datasheet, M27C1001-10F1 pinout, M27C1001-10F1 application, or M27C1001-10F1 equivalent, key selection criteria include UV erasure capability, TTL-compatible control timing (tELQV ≤ 100 ns), 12.75 V programming voltage tolerance, and FDIP32W package compatibility with UV exposure fixtures.
Technical Context
The M27C1001-10F1 implements a two-line output control architecture with independent Chip Enable (E) and Output Enable (G) inputs to minimize bus contention and power dissipation in multi-device memory arrays. Its read mode requires E = VIL and G = VIL for valid Q0–Q7 output, with address-to-output delay tAVQV = 100 ns under standard AC conditions.
Programming uses 12.75 V ±0.25 V on VPP, 6.25 V ±0.25 V on VCC, and a 100 µs pulse on P while E = VIL; data is latched on Q0–Q7 during programming. Electronic signature mode reads manufacturer code 20h and device code 05h via A9 = 11.5–12.5 V and A0 toggling.
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 | 100 ns - defines maximum clock rate for synchronous read cycles in microprocessor buses |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead |
| Active Current | 30 mA at 5 MHz - determines decoupling capacitor sizing (0.1 µF ceramic per device) |
| Standby Current | 100 µA - enables low-power retention in battery-backed or intermittent operation |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 12.75 V ±0.25 V - requires dedicated high-voltage supply rail, not derived from VCC |
| UV Erase Dose | ≥15 W·s/cm² at 2537 Å - specifies minimum UV lamp intensity × exposure time for full bit reset |
Pinout & Package
FDIP32W: 32-pin ceramic dual in-line package with UV-transparent frit-seal window (41.9 mm × 15.2 mm × 5.7 mm), designed for direct ultraviolet light exposure during erasure.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus accepting full 131K-word range; A9 used as VID input during electronic signature |
| Q0–Q7 | Data Outputs | Bi-directional I/O pins: output data in read/verify, input data during programming |
| E | Chip Enable | Primary device select; CMOS-high (VIH > VCC – 0.2 V) forces standby mode (100 µA) |
| G | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; controls Q0–Q7 Hi-Z state independently of E for bus sharing |
| P | Program Control | Active-low pulse input enabling programming mode when VPP = 12.75 V and E = VIL |
| VPP | Programming Supply | Dedicated 12.75 V pin; must be applied simultaneously with or after VCC and removed before or with VCC |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5 V ±10% read supply; 6.25 V ±0.25 V programming supply - requires separate regulation in system design |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all I/O and supply pins; requires low-inductance connection to decoupling capacitors |
| NC | No Connect | Internally unconnected pin; must remain floating or tied to VSS per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-line output control (E + G) | Eliminates bus contention in multi-chip memory banks by enabling independent device selection and output gating |
| Electronic signature (20h/05h) | Enables automatic algorithm selection in programming equipment via A9 high-voltage activation |
| PRESTO II programming algorithm | Guarantees full-array programming in ~13 seconds with margin-mode verify, eliminating over-program pulses |
| UV erasability (FDIP32W/LCCC32W) | Supports >100 erase/write cycles with 15–20 minute exposure to 2537 Å UV lamps at 12000 µW/cm² |
| TTL/CMOS compatible inputs | Accepts standard logic levels (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2 V) without level-shifting circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C1001-100DC | Same 1 Mbit ×8 organization, 100 ns access, but uses PDIP32 package without UV window; no erasure capability | Restricted to one-time-programmed applications where field updates are unnecessary | Select only if UV erasure is not required and cost-sensitive volume production favors plastic packaging |
| MX27C1001-10PC | Pin-compatible but rated for 125°C max operating temperature; higher VPP tolerance (13.5 V) | Suitable for extended-temperature industrial deployments where ambient exceeds 85°C | Choose when operating environment exceeds M27C1001-10F1's 125°C limit or higher programming voltage margin is needed |
Compared with AM27C1001-100DC and MX27C1001-10PC, the M27C1001-10F1 uniquely combines UV erasability, FDIP32W package, and verified 100 ns timing - making it irreplaceable for field-serviceable legacy systems requiring repeatable firmware updates.

FAQ
What UV wavelength and exposure time are required to fully erase the M27C1001-10F1?
Full erasure requires exposure to 2537 Å short-wave ultraviolet light at ≥12000 µW/cm² intensity for 15–20 minutes at 2.5 cm distance. Integrated dose must reach ≥15 W·s/cm². Fluorescent lighting or sunlight may cause partial erasure over months or weeks and should be blocked with opaque labels during storage.
Can the M27C1001-10F1 be programmed using standard 5 V logic levels?
No. Programming requires VPP = 12.75 V ±0.25 V applied to pin 32, VCC = 6.25 V ±0.25 V (not 5 V), and a 100 µs low pulse on P while E = VIL. Address and data inputs remain TTL-compatible (0–5 V), but the high-voltage VPP rail is mandatory and must be sequenced correctly relative to VCC.
How does the two-line control (E and G) reduce power consumption in memory arrays?
When E = VIH, the device enters standby mode drawing only 100 µA regardless of G state. G controls output drivers only - so multiple devices can share G while E selects individual chips. This ensures deselected devices draw near-zero active current, cutting total array power by >99% versus single-enable architectures.
Is the FDIP32W package RoHS-compliant?
The M27C1001-10F1 predates RoHS legislation (2006) and contains leaded solder in its ceramic frit-seal construction. STMicroelectronics discontinued RoHS conversion for this part; it remains available as a legacy component for repair and obsolescence management under exemption clauses for spare parts in long-lifecycle equipment.
