Product details
Overview
M27C1001-35C6 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. It features dual-line control (E/G), electronic signature (20h/05h), and supports programming at 12.75V with 100 µs/word pulse width. Used in legacy microprocessor systems for firmware storage where field erasure via UV light is required.
For engineers reviewing the M27C1001-35C6 datasheet, M27C1001-35C6 pinout, M27C1001-35C6 application, or M27C1001-35C6 equivalent, key selection criteria include UV-erasability, 35 ns read timing under TTL-level control, FDIP32W package compatibility with UV exposure fixtures, and support for PRESTO II programming with margin verification.
Technical Context
The M27C1001-35C6 implements a two-control-line architecture: Chip Enable (E) governs power state (active/standby), while Output Enable (G) independently gates output drivers-enabling low-power array operation without bus contention. Its 131,072 × 8-bit organization maps A0–A16 address inputs to Q0–Q7 data outputs with TTL-compatible logic thresholds.
Programming requires VPP = 12.75V ±0.25V and VCC = 6.25V ±0.25V; verify mode uses same VPP but elevated VCC margins (6.0V/4.2V) to confirm cell margin. Electronic Signature mode activates via 11.5–12.5V on A9, enabling automatic algorithm matching in programmers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits) - fixed parallel organization for byte-wide microprocessor buses |
| Access Time | 35 ns - guaranteed maximum tAVQV delay from address valid to output valid at 5V, enabling 28.6 MHz max read rate |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% - supports standard TTL/CMOS system rails without regulation overhead |
| Active Current | 30 mA at 5 MHz - defines dynamic power budget for memory subsystems in embedded controllers |
| Standby Current | 100 µA - enables low-power retention during CPU idle cycles without external power gating |
| Programming Voltage | 12.75V ±0.25V - precise VPP requirement ensures reliable Fowler-Nordheim tunneling without oxide stress |
| Electronic Signature | Manufacturer Code 20h / Device Code 05h - enables automated device identification in universal programmers |
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 UV erasure via direct lamp exposure through top window.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus interface; A9 used as VID select in Electronic Signature mode |
| Q0–Q7 | Data Outputs | Bi-directional I/O pins used for parallel data input during programming and output during read/verify |
| E | Chip Enable | Primary device-select signal; high → standby mode (100 µA), low → active power path |
| G | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; independent of E, prevents bus contention in multi-chip memory arrays |
| P | Program Control | Active-low pulse input that initiates 100 µs programming cycle when E = low and VPP = 12.75V |
| VPP | Programming Supply | Dedicated 12.75V input; isolated from VCC to prevent system rail disturbance during programming |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 5V read supply; switched to 6.25V during programming to optimize write margin and endurance |
| VSS | Ground | Common reference for all signals; decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin |
| NC | No Connect | Internally unconnected pin; must remain floating per datasheet to avoid leakage paths |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| UV Erasability | Full array erasure in 15–20 min using 2537 Å UV lamp at ≥15 W·sec/cm² dose - enables firmware rework without device replacement |
| PRESTO II Programming | Guaranteed margin programming with auto-verify at multiple VCC levels (6.0V/4.2V) - eliminates over-programming and extends cell lifetime |
| Two-Line Output Control | Independent E (power) and G (output) enables zero-bus-contention memory expansion - critical for 16-bit+ microprocessor designs |
| Electronic Signature | Read-only manufacturer/device ID (20h/05h) via A9 voltage override - ensures correct algorithm selection in automated programming stations |
| Wide Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C operation (C6 suffix) - qualified for industrial control and telecom infrastructure applications |

| AM27C1001-35DC | 35 ns access, 5V ±10%, PDIP32 package - no UV window, OTP-only; identical AC/DC specs except erasure capability | Used where firmware is final and field erasure is unnecessary; lower cost due to plastic packaging | Select when UV erasure is not required and board-level reprogramming is done only once during manufacturing. |
| MX27C1001-35PC | 35 ns access, 5V ±10%, PDIP32; compatible pinout but lacks electronic signature (no 20h/05h ID) | Suitable for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where programmer auto-detection is not needed | Choose for high-volume production where programming station compatibility is managed manually or via external database lookup. |

FAQ
What UV wavelength and exposure dose are required to fully erase the M27C1001-35C6?
Full erasure requires short-wave ultraviolet light at 2537 Å wavelength with a minimum integrated dose of 15 W·sec/cm². Using a 12,000 µW/cm² lamp, erasure takes 15–20 minutes at 2.5 cm distance. Room fluorescent lighting may cause partial erasure over years; direct sunlight can erase it in ~1 week.
Can the M27C1001-35C6 be programmed in-system, or does it require a dedicated programmer?
It requires a dedicated EPROM programmer supporting PRESTO II algorithm, 12.75V VPP, and electronic signature verification. In-system programming is not supported - VPP must be externally supplied, and UV erasure necessitates device removal for lamp exposure.
Why does the M27C1001-35C6 use separate E and G control lines instead of a single CE?
The dual-line control separates power management (E) from output gating (G), allowing deselected devices to enter 100 µA standby while keeping outputs high-Z regardless of G state. This prevents bus contention in multi-chip memory banks and minimizes system-level power dissipation.
Is the FDIP32W package RoHS-compliant?
No - the FDIP32W package contains leaded solder and ceramic materials not compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. STMicroelectronics discontinued RoHS conversion for this legacy package; alternative RoHS-compliant options are not available for this speed/package variant.
