Product details
Overview
M27C1001-45XB1 from STMicroelectronics is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) UV-erasable EPROM with 45 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 for embedded microprocessor program storage in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the M27C1001-45XB1 datasheet, M27C1001-45XB1 pinout, M27C1001-45XB1 application, or M27C1001-45XB1 equivalent, key selection criteria include UV-erase capability, 45 ns read timing under TTL/CMOS interface conditions, FDIP32W package compatibility with UV erasure fixtures, and verified electronic signature for automated programmer recognition.
Technical Context
The M27C1001-45XB1 implements a two-line output control architecture with independent Chip Enable (E) and Output Enable (G) inputs to minimize bus contention and reduce active power dissipation. Its internal array is organized as 131,072 words × 8 bits, with address lines A0–A16 and bidirectional data I/O on Q0–Q7 during programming.
Programming requires VPP = 12.75V ±0.25V, VCC = 6.25V ±0.25V, and a 100 µs pulse on P while E is low; verification occurs with VPP = 12.75V and VCC = 6.25V, using margin-mode sensing to ensure cell-level programming reliability without overprogramming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) - supports full 16-bit microprocessor instruction fetch without banking. |
| Access Time | 45 ns - guarantees valid data at Q0–Q7 within 45 ns after E and G both go low, meeting 22 MHz bus timing. |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% in read mode - compatible with legacy TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead. |
| Active Current | 30 mA at 5 MHz - enables low-power operation in battery-backed or thermally constrained systems. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA - reduces system quiescent draw when memory is deselected via E high. |
| Programming Voltage | 12.75V ±0.25V on VPP - requires dedicated HV supply but ensures reliable Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. |
| Electronic Signature | Manufacturer Code 20h, Device Code 05h - enables automatic algorithm selection in universal programmers. |
Pinout & Package
FDIP32W (32-pin ceramic frit-seal DIP with UV-transparent window) provides hermetic sealing and direct UV exposure capability for field erasure. The package includes 16.18 mm body width (eB), 41.9 mm length (D), and 5.72 mm height (A), optimized for socketed prototyping and long-life industrial firmware storage.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 128K-word decoding; A9 used for Electronic Signature voltage (11.5–12.5V) during ID read. |
| Q0–Q7 | Data Outputs / Programming Inputs | Bidirectional: outputs during read/verify, inputs during programming; TTL-compatible drive strength (IOL = 2.1 mA). |
| E | Chip Enable | Primary device select; CMOS/TTL-compatible; asserts standby mode (100 µA ICC2) when high. |
| G | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; allows shared G-bus across multiple EPROMs while keeping deselected devices in Hi-Z. |
| P | Program Control | Active-low pulse input (100 µs width); initiates programming only when E = low and VPP = 12.75V. |
| VPP | Programming Supply | 12.75V ±0.25V input; must be applied simultaneously with or after VCC and removed simultaneously or before VCC. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% for read; 6.25V ±0.25V for programming - separate voltage domains prevent read-mode corruption during write cycles. |
| VSS | Ground | Common reference for all signals; decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| NC | No Connect | Internally unconnected; no external loading or routing required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-line output control (E + G) | Eliminates bus contention in multi-chip memory arrays by enabling independent device selection and output gating. |
| UV-erasable FDIP32W package | Enables >1000 erase/write cycles via 15–20 min exposure to 2537 Å UV light at ≥15 W·sec/cm² dose. |
| Electronic Signature (20h/05h) | Allows zero-configuration recognition in automated programming equipment without manual part number entry. |
| Presto II programming algorithm | Guarantees full-array programming in ~13 seconds with built-in margin verification-no overprogram pulses needed. |
| Wide temperature range | –40°C to +125°C operation supports deployment in automotive engine control units and industrial PLCs. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C1001-45DC | 45 ns access, PDIP32 package, no UV window; same 1 Mbit × 8 organization and 12.75V programming. | Not field-erasable; requires socket replacement for firmware updates instead of UV exposure. | Select when cost-sensitive volume production eliminates need for field reprogramming. |
| AT27C1001-45JC | 45 ns access, PLCC32 package; identical pinout except NC placement; 100 µA standby current. | Lacks UV window; uses plastic encapsulation unsuitable for repeated erasure cycles. | Choose for surface-mount assembly where board space and reflow compatibility outweigh erasure flexibility. |
Compared with M27C1001-45XB1, AM27C1001-45DC sacrifices field erasability for lower cost in fixed-function systems, while AT27C1001-45JC trades UV capability for SMT manufacturability-neither supports the FDIP32W's certified 1000-cycle erasure endurance.

FAQ
What UV wavelength and exposure time are required to fully erase the M27C1001-45XB1?
Full erasure requires exposure to short-wave ultraviolet light at 2537 Å wavelength for 15–20 minutes at an intensity of ≥12,000 µW/cm², with the device placed within 2.5 cm of the lamp source. Integrated UV dose must reach ≥15 W·sec/cm²; room fluorescent lighting may cause partial erasure over years.
Can the M27C1001-45XB1 be programmed in-system using standard 5V logic levels?
No. Programming requires VPP = 12.75V ±0.25V applied to the VPP pin, VCC = 6.25V ±0.25V, and a 100 µs low pulse on the P pin while E is low. Standard 5V logic cannot generate the required high-voltage programming signal; dedicated EPROM programmers or HV interface circuitry are mandatory.
How does the Electronic Signature mode function, and what pins are involved?
Electronic Signature mode activates when 11.5–12.5V is applied to A9, with VPP = VCC = 5V and all other address lines held low. Toggling A0 reads Manufacturer Code (20h) when A0 = low, then Device Code (05h) when A0 = high - used by programmers to auto-detect part identity without user input.
Is the FDIP32W package RoHS-compliant, and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
The FDIP32W package is exempt from RoHS lead restrictions under Annex III due to its ceramic hermetic construction and UV-transmissive window material; it has no moisture sensitivity level (MSL) rating as it is not moisture-sensitive and does not require baking prior to soldering.
