Product details
Overview
M27C2001-70C6TR from STMicroelectronics is a 2 Mbit (256K × 8) UV-erasable EPROM in a 32-pin PDIP package, featuring 55 ns access time, 5 V ±10% read supply, 12.75 V ±0.25 V programming voltage, and dual-line output control (E/G) for low-power memory arrays in legacy microprocessor systems.
For engineers reviewing the M27C2001-70C6TR datasheet, M27C2001-70C6TR pinout, M27C2001-70C6TR application, or M27C2001-70C6TR equivalent, key selection criteria include UV erasability, TTL-compatible timing, standby current of 100 µA, and compatibility with PRESTO II programming algorithms for reliable field reprogramming.
Technical Context
The M27C2001-70C6TR operates in five distinct modes-Read, Standby, Program, Verify, and Electronic Signature-controlled by E (Chip Enable), G (Output Enable), and P (Program) signals. Its two-line output control architecture enables hierarchical memory array management: E selects device power state while G gates output drivers independently.
Programming uses a 100 µs/word pulse at VPP = 12.75 V and VCC = 6.25 V, with automatic margin verification via PRESTO II algorithm. Erasure requires UV exposure (2537 Å, ≥15 W·s/cm²) through the windowed ceramic variant; the -70C6TR suffix denotes the plastic DIP (PDIP32) OTP version with no window, confirming it is one-time programmable only.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2 Mbit (262,144 × 8 bits); supports full 16-bit address bus decoding without external latching. |
| Access Time | 55 ns (tAVQV); ensures compatibility with 12–18 MHz Z80, 8086, and 68000-based systems. |
| Read Supply | 5 V ±10%; eliminates need for dedicated 5 V regulator in mixed-voltage legacy boards. |
| Standby Current | 100 µA at CMOS-level E high; reduces idle power in battery-backed or portable embedded controllers. |
| Programming Voltage | 12.75 V ±0.25 V on VPP; requires external HV generator but avoids internal charge pump complexity. |
| Output Drive | TTL-compatible VOH = 2.4 V / VOL = 0.4 V at IOL = 2.1 mA; directly interfaces with 74LS/ALS logic without level shifters. |
| Operating Temp | 0 °C to 70 °C; validated for commercial-grade industrial control panels and test equipment. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PDIP32 (Plastic Dual In-line Package, 600 mil width), RoHS-compliant ECOPACK® lead-free construction per JEDEC JESD97.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus interface; A0–A17 fully decode 256K locations with no address multiplexing. |
| Q0–Q7 | Data Outputs | Bi-directional data bus pins used for parallel programming input and read output; TTL-level compatible. |
| E | Chip Enable | Active-low primary device select; places device in standby (100 µA) when high, enabling memory banking. |
| G | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; allows shared data bus usage across multiple EPROMs without contention. |
| P | Program Control | Active-low pulse-triggered programming enable; synchronized with VPP and address/data setup for byte-wise write. |
| VPP | Programming Supply | 12.75 V input during programming; isolated from VCC to prevent system rail disturbance during write cycles. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 5 V read supply; must be applied before/removed after VPP to prevent latch-up or cell damage. |
| VSS | Ground | Signal reference common to all inputs/outputs; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-line output control (E + G) | Enables zero-bus-contention memory expansion with independent power gating and output enable. |
| PRESTO II programming algorithm | Guarantees verified programming margin per byte without over-programming pulses; reduces field failure risk. |
| Electronic signature (20h/61h) | Allows automated programmer identification and algorithm matching-critical for production line repeatability. |
| ECOPACK® RoHS compliance | Lead-free PDIP32 package meets JEDEC JESD97 marking requirements for second-level interconnect. |
| 100 µA CMOS standby current | Supports low-quiescent-power operation in always-on controller modules without auxiliary sleep circuitry. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C2001-70DC | Same 2 Mbit × 8 organization and 55 ns speed, but uses AMD's proprietary programming algorithm and 12.5 V VPP. | Requires AMD-specific programmer firmware; lacks ST's electronic signature (20h/61h) for auto-detection. | Select only if existing toolchain supports AMD devices and VPP tolerance (±0.25 V vs. ±0.5 V) is verified. |
| MX27C2001-70PC | Pin-compatible but specifies 60 ns access time and 12.0 V ±0.5 V programming voltage; higher standby current (200 µA). | Marginally slower timing may require wait-state insertion on fast 16-bit buses; not suitable for cycle-critical Z80 systems. | Acceptable for cost-sensitive replacements where 5 ns timing slack exists and 12 V programming infrastructure is already deployed. |
Compared with AM27C2001-70DC and MX27C2001-70PC, the M27C2001-70C6TR offers tighter VPP regulation (±0.25 V), lower standby current (100 µA), and standardized electronic signature-making it preferable for automated programming lines and thermally constrained industrial enclosures.

FAQ
Is M27C2001-70C6TR UV-erasable?
No. The "C6TR" suffix indicates a PDIP32 package with no quartz window; it is a one-time programmable (OTP) EPROM. Only FDIP32W (ceramic frit-seal with window) variants support UV erasure. This part must be programmed once and cannot be erased or reprogrammed.
What programming voltage and sequence are required?
VPP must be precisely 12.75 V ±0.25 V, applied after VCC (6.25 V ±0.25 V) and held stable during the 100 µs programming pulse on the P pin. Address and data must be valid before the pulse edge. PRESTO II algorithm requires verify-reads at two VCC levels (6.0 V and 4.2 V) to confirm margin.
Can M27C2001-70C6TR operate at 3.3 V?
No. It requires 5 V ±10% for read operations and 6.25 V ±0.25 V for programming. The input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output drive (VOH = 2.4 V) are TTL-optimized. Direct 3.3 V interfacing risks read failures and violates absolute maximum ratings.
Does it support common memory bus protocols like ISA or VME?
It does not implement any serial or packetized protocol. As a parallel asynchronous EPROM, it interfaces directly to ISA, STD Bus, or custom 8-bit/16-bit address/data buses using discrete E and G control lines-no glue logic needed beyond standard address decoding.
