Product details
Overview
M27C1001-70F1 from STMicroelectronics is a 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8) UV-erasable EPROM in FDIP32W ceramic window package, operating at 5V ±10%, with 70 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, such as industrial PLCs, telecom line cards, and embedded instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the M27C1001-70F1 datasheet, M27C1001-70F1 pinout, M27C1001-70F1 application, or M27C1001-70F1 equivalent, key selection criteria include UV erasure capability, TTL-compatible control timing (tELQV = 70 ns), dual-line enable architecture (E/G), 12.75 V programming voltage, and FDIP32W package compatibility with UV exposure fixtures.
Technical Context
The M27C1001-70F1 implements a two-control-line memory architecture where Chip Enable (E) governs power state and Output Enable (G) gates data output independently-enabling low-power array partitioning without bus contention. Its UV-erasable floating-gate MOS structure supports full-chip erasure via 2537 Å ultraviolet light (≥15 W·s/cm² dose).
Programming requires precise bias sequencing: VPP = 12.75 V ±0.25 V applied simultaneously with or after VCC = 6.25 V ±0.25 V, P pulsed for 95–105 µs per byte, and A9 driven to 11.5–12.5 V during Electronic Signature readout. Read operation uses standard 5V supply with TTL-level inputs and outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (131,072 words × 8 bits); supports full 16-bit address space expansion in 8-bit microcontroller systems. |
| Access Time | 70 ns (tAVQV); guarantees data validity within 70 ns of E low + stable address, compatible with 14 MHz Z80 or 8086 bus cycles. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% in read mode; eliminates need for precision regulation in cost-sensitive industrial designs. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA (CMOS E high); enables multi-device memory banks to draw <1 mA total when deselected. |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 12.75 V ±0.25 V; requires dedicated HV generator but avoids external charge pumps via internal margin-mode verification. |
| Erasure Method | UV light (2537 Å, ≥15 W·s/cm²); enables >100 erase/write cycles with verified retention >10 years at 125°C. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to 125°C; qualified for under-hood automotive ECUs and base station RF modules. |
Pinout & Package
FDIP32W: 32-pin ceramic dual-in-line package with UV-transparent quartz window (5.72 mm height, 41.9 mm length, 15.2 mm width), hermetically sealed via frit glass bonding for long-term data retention and UV exposure compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131K-word decoding; A9 used as VID select during 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 | Active-low primary device select; drives device into 100 µA standby when high, enabling power-gated memory arrays. |
| G | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; allows shared data bus across multiple EPROMs without contention when E is low but G is high. |
| P | Program Control | Active-low pulse input (95–105 µs) that initiates byte programming when E = low and VPP = 12.75 V. |
| VPP | Programming Supply | 12.75 V ±0.25 V input; internally regulated to ensure consistent Fowler-Nordheim tunneling during programming. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% for read; 6.25 V ±0.25 V for programming-separate VCC requirement prevents read-mode noise coupling during write. |
| VSS | Ground | Common reference for all signals; decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed ≤5 mm from pin. |
| NC | No Connect | Pin 17 (LCCC32W) and Pin 17 (TSOP32) are unconnected; must be left 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 maps by enabling independent power gating (E) and output tri-state (G). |
| Presto II programming algorithm | Guarantees full-array programming in ≤13 seconds with automatic margin-mode verify-no overprogramming pulses required. |
| Electronic Signature (ES) mode | Manufacturer code 20h / device code 05h read via A9=12V toggle; enables auto-algorithm selection in gang programmers. |
| UV erasure endurance | ≥100 full-chip erasures with verified data retention >10 years at 125°C ambient-validated per STMicroelectronics SURE Program. |
| Wide temperature range | –40°C to 125°C operation with full AC/DC specs guaranteed-supports deployment in engine control units and outdoor telecom hardware. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar UV-erasable EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C1001-70DC | Same 1 Mbit ×8 organization, 70 ns access, but uses PDIP32 package without UV window; requires OTP configuration. | Not field-erasable-suitable only for one-time firmware loads where UV exposure is unavailable. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs field update requirement and PCB layout lacks UV access path. |
| MX27C1001-70PC | Compatible pinout and timing, but rated only to 85°C; lacks ST's SURE Program qualification and 125°C retention validation. | Acceptable for commercial-grade telecom gear but not automotive or military deployments requiring extended temperature life. | Choose only for cost-driven consumer applications where ambient stays <70°C and 10-year retention is not contractually mandated. |
Compared with AM27C1001-70DC and MX27C1001-70PC, the M27C1001-70F1 uniquely combines UV erasability, 125°C operation, and ST's SURE Program reliability certification-making it the sole choice for safety-critical, field-upgradable, high-temperature embedded systems.

FAQ
What UV wavelength and exposure dose are required to fully erase the M27C1001-70F1?
The M27C1001-70F1 requires short-wave ultraviolet light at 2537 Å wavelength with a minimum integrated dose of 15 W·s/cm². Using a standard 12,000 µW/cm² UV lamp, erasure takes 15–20 minutes at 2.5 cm distance. Fluorescent lighting or sunlight may cause partial erasure over months or weeks and must be blocked with opaque labels during storage.
Can the M27C1001-70F1 be operated at 3.3 V?
No. The M27C1001-70F1 is specified exclusively for 5 V ±10% operation in read mode and 6.25 V ±0.25 V during programming. Its internal cell threshold voltages and sense amplifier design require 5 V nominal supply; operation below 4.5 V violates DC specifications and risks read failures or incomplete programming verification.
How does the Electronic Signature mode function, and what equipment is needed to read it?
Electronic Signature mode activates when A9 is driven to 11.5–12.5 V while VPP = VCC = 5 V and ambient temperature is 25°C ±5°C. Toggling A0 between low and high reads Manufacturer Code (20h) and Device Code (05h) on Q7–Q0. This requires a programmer with programmable A9 HV capability-not standard 5 V-only gang programmers.
Is the FDIP32W package RoHS-compliant?
The M27C1001-70F1 predates RoHS legislation (introduced 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 7a. Aetrix provides full material declaration documentation upon request.
