Product details
Overview
M27C2001-10F1 from STMicroelectronics is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) UV-erasable EPROM in FDIP32W ceramic frit-seal package with transparent window, supporting 5V ±10% read operation, 55 ns access time, and 12.75V ±0.25V programming voltage. It delivers 30 mA active current at 5 MHz and 100 µA standby current, and is used in legacy microprocessor systems for firmware storage requiring field-erasable reprogramming via UV exposure.
For engineers reviewing the M27C2001-10F1 datasheet, M27C2001-10F1 pinout, M27C2001-10F1 application, or M27C2001-10F1 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated FDIP32W pin mapping, confirmed UV EPROM operational modes (Read/Standby/Program/Verify/Electronic Signature), and real-world system integration constraints including two-line output control timing and UV erasure dose requirements.
Technical Context
The M27C2001-10F1 implements TTL-compatible address/data interface with dual active-low control: Chip Enable (E) governs power state and device selection, while Output Enable (G) independently gates output drivers - enabling low-power memory array design. Its PRESTO II programming algorithm applies 100 µs pulses per byte with automatic margin verification at VCC = 6.25 V and VPP = 12.75 V.
Electronic Signature mode reads manufacturer code 20h and device code 61h by applying 11.5–12.5 V to A9 while toggling A0; UV erasure requires ≥15 W·s/cm² integrated dose at 2537 Å wavelength, achievable in 15–20 minutes at ≤2.5 cm distance from unfiltered UV lamp.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8 bits) - supports full 16-bit address bus decoding with A0–A17 inputs |
| Access Time | 55 ns - defines minimum clock cycle for reliable read in 18 MHz CPU systems |
| Supply Voltage (Read) | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation |
| Programming Voltage | 12.75 V ±0.25 V - requires dedicated high-voltage supply rail, not derived from VCC |
| Active Current | 30 mA at 5 MHz - determines decoupling capacitor sizing (0.1 µF ceramic per device) |
| Standby Current | 100 µA - enables low-power hold states during CPU wait cycles or idle periods |
| UV Erase Dose | ≥15 W·s/cm² at 2537 Å - specifies minimum UV energy for full bit reset; insufficient dose causes partial erase failures |
Pinout & Package
FDIP32W: 32-pin ceramic dual in-line package with UV-transparent quartz window; hermetically sealed with frit glass; lead-free ECOPACK® compliant; 0.6-inch body width; 0.3-inch height; 0.1-inch pin pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus interface; A0 = LSB, A17 = MSB; TTL-compatible thresholds |
| Q0–Q7 | Data Outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus; outputs driven only when E = G = L; high-impedance otherwise |
| E | Chip Enable | Primary power control; VIH ≥ VCC − 0.2 V places device in 100 µA standby; must be decoded per device in multi-chip arrays |
| G | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; VIH forces Q0–Q7 into high-Z regardless of E state; shared across memory banks |
| P | Program Control | Active-low pulse input; initiates programming only when E = L and VPP = 12.75 V; no effect in read mode |
| VPP | Programming Supply | 12.75 V ±0.25 V input; must be applied simultaneously with or after VCC and removed simultaneously or before VCC |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% for read; 6.25 V ±0.25 V for programming; decoupling required within 5 mm of pin |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all I/O and supply pins; separate ground plane recommended for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-line output control (E + G) | Enables zero-bus-contention memory expansion: deselected chips draw only 100 µA and present high-Z outputs |
| PRESTO II programming algorithm | Guarantees cell margin via MARGIN MODE verify at two VCC levels (6 V and 4.2 V), eliminating overprogramming risk |
| Electronic Signature (ES) mode | Allows automated programmer identification using A9 high-voltage trigger (11.5–12.5 V) and A0 toggle sequencing |
| UV erasable architecture | FDIP32W window permits full chip erase in 15–20 min under 2537 Å UV; prevents accidental erasure with opaque label |
| ECOPACK® compliance | Lead-free construction meets JEDEC JESD97 marking requirements; inner box labels specify soldering profiles |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar UV EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C2001-10DC | Same 2 Mbit organization and 55 ns speed, but uses AMD's proprietary programming algorithm and signature codes (Manuf. Code: 01h, Dev. Code: 61h); requires AMD-specific programmer firmware. | Compatible pinout and DC specs, but Electronic Signature handshake fails on ST-programmers; UV erase kinetics differ slightly (12–18 min typical). | Select only if existing AMD toolchain and inventory are in place; not drop-in for ST-based production lines. |
| MBM27C2001-10P | Fujitsu variant with identical FDIP32W package and 55 ns rating, but higher 13.0 V ±0.3 V VPP requirement and 40 mA active current; signature codes differ (Manuf. Code: 04h, Dev. Code: 61h). | Acceptable in systems with margin on VPP regulation and thermal dissipation; requires Fujitsu-specific programming voltage sequencing. | Use only when ST devices are unavailable and board-level VPP tolerance exceeds 12.75 V + 0.25 V. |
Compared with AM27C2001-10DC and MBM27C2001-10P, the M27C2001-10F1 offers tighter VPP tolerance (±0.25 V), lower active current (30 mA), and ST-optimized PRESTO II algorithm - making it preferable for new designs targeting ST toolchain compatibility and thermal efficiency.

FAQ
What UV wavelength and exposure time are required to fully erase the M27C2001-10F1?
Full erasure 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 placed ≤2.5 cm from the FDIP32W window, erasure takes 15–20 minutes. Fluorescent lighting or sunlight may cause partial erasure over months or weeks and should be blocked with opaque labels.
Can the M27C2001-10F1 be programmed using standard 5 V logic levels?
No. Programming requires VPP = 12.75 V ±0.25 V applied to the VPP pin, VCC = 6.25 V ±0.25 V, and a 100 µs active-low pulse on the P pin while E = L. Address and data lines use TTL levels, but the high-voltage VPP rail and elevated VCC are mandatory - standard 5 V-only programmers cannot program this device.
Is the FDIP32W package RoHS-compliant?
Yes. The M27C2001-10F1 is offered in ECOPACK® packaging, which is STMicroelectronics' lead-free standard. It complies with JEDEC JESD97 for second-level interconnect marking and includes soldering profile data on inner box labels - meeting RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC requirements effective May 2006.
How does the two-line output control (E and G) reduce power in memory arrays?
When E = H, the device enters standby mode drawing only 100 µA and forcing outputs to high-Z regardless of G state - eliminating bus contention and leakage. When E = L and G = H, outputs remain high-Z but internal circuitry remains active (30 mA). Only when both E = L and G = L do outputs drive, enabling precise per-device data gating in multi-chip systems.
