Product details
Overview
M27W101-80K6 from STMicroelectronics is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) low-voltage UV-erasable EPROM in PLCC32 package, operating from 2.7V to 3.6V with 80 ns access time at VCC = 2.7V–3.6V, supporting microprocessor program storage in industrial embedded systems requiring nonvolatile, field-erasable memory with TTL-compatible I/O and dual-line output control.
For engineers reviewing the M27W101-80K6 datasheet, M27W101-80K6 pinout, M27W101-80K6 application, or M27W101-80K6 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified UV-erase capability, 15 µA standby current, 100 µs/byte programming time, electronic signature (20h/05h), and compatibility with Presto II programming algorithm on standard M27C1001 programmers.
Technical Context
The M27W101-80K6 implements a two-line output control architecture using independent Chip Enable (E) and Output Enable (G) inputs to minimize bus contention and power dissipation in multi-device memory arrays; E controls device selection and power state (active/standby), while G gates outputs without affecting power mode.
It supports four distinct operational modes-Read, Standby, Program, and Electronic Signature-each defined by specific voltage and timing conditions on E, G, P, A9, and VPP; programming requires VPP = 12.75 V and VCC = 6.25 V, while read operation uses single 2.7–3.6 V supply and delivers data on Q0–Q7 with tELQV ≤ 80 ns.

Use Value: Single-supply 2.7–3.6 V operation eliminates level-shifting circuitry; ECOPACK® packaging satisfies medical RoHS compliance requirements. |
| Avionics Data Logging Memory | Test Equipment Calibration Storage |
Use Scenario: Recording flight-critical sensor calibration coefficients in airborne data acquisition modules subject to thermal cycling (−40°C to +85°C) and UV exposure risk. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: UV-erasable nonvolatile memory retaining coefficients across aircraft maintenance cycles; windowed FDIP variant used for lab erasure, K-package for sealed deployment. Use Value: Verified 15–20 min UV erase ensures reliable coefficient reset before each flight cycle; 2,000 V ESD protection prevents corruption during handling. | Use Scenario: Storing instrument-specific calibration constants and linearity correction tables in benchtop oscilloscopes and signal generators. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: OTP-capable EPROM used as permanent calibration store; programmed once post-calibration, then locked via opaque label over UV window (if FDIP) or sealed package (PLCC/TSOP). Use Value: Pin compatibility with M27C1001 allows reuse of existing calibration programming infrastructure; electronic signature prevents misprogramming during batch calibration. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| M27C1001-10F1 | 5 V-only operation (no 2.7–3.6 V support); 100 ns access at 5 V; identical pinout and electronic signature (20h/05h) | Requires 5 V system rail; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage designs | Select when legacy 5 V infrastructure exists and UV erase is needed without low-voltage constraint |
| AT27C010-70PU | 5 V operation; 70 ns access; 20 mA active current; same 128K × 8 organization and PLCC32 footprint | Lacks Presto II algorithm support; requires different programming voltage sequence (12.5 V VPP, 5 V VCC) | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controllers where 5 V supply is available and programming equipment lacks Presto II capability |
Compared with M27W101-80K6, M27C1001-10F1 trades low-voltage flexibility for broader 5 V ecosystem compatibility, while AT27C010-70PU offers faster access but requires revalidation of programming flow and lacks the 15 µA standby advantage critical for battery longevity.

FAQ
What UV wavelength and exposure dose are required to fully erase M27W101-80K6?
The M27W101-80K6 requires short-wave ultraviolet light at 2537 Å wavelength with a minimum integrated dose of 15 W·s/cm². Using a 12,000 µW/cm² lamp, full erasure takes 15–20 minutes at 2.5 cm distance. Direct sunlight or room fluorescent lighting may cause partial erasure over weeks or years and must be blocked with opaque labels during storage.
Can M27W101-80K6 be programmed on standard M27C1001 programmers?
Yes-M27W101-80K6 is fully compatible with M27C1001 programming hardware and the Presto II algorithm. It uses identical electronic signature (20h/05h), pinout, and programming voltages: VPP = 12.75 V and VCC = 6.25 V. No adapter or firmware update is required for existing M27C1001 programmers.
Does the PLCC32 (K) package support UV erasure?
No-the PLCC32 (K) package is opaque and intended for one-time-programmable (OTP) use only. UV erasure is supported exclusively in the FDIP32W (F) ceramic package with transparent quartz window. The K-suffix denotes the PLCC32 variant; UV functionality is physically impossible in this封装.
What is the maximum recommended clock frequency for reliable read operation?
The M27W101-80K6 does not use a clock; it is an asynchronous memory. Its 80 ns access time corresponds to a maximum effective bus frequency of 12.5 MHz (1/80 ns). For reliable operation, system timing must satisfy tELQV ≤ 80 ns, tGLQV ≤ 50 ns, and tEHQZ/tGHQZ ≤ 50 ns under worst-case VCC = 2.7 V and TA = 85°C conditions.
