Product details
Overview
M27W101-80K6TR from STMicroelectronics is a 1 Mbit (128K × 8) low-voltage UV-erasable and OTP 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 control and legacy embedded systems requiring nonvolatile, field-erasable code retention.
For engineers reviewing the M27W101-80K6TR datasheet, M27W101-80K6TR pinout, M27W101-80K6TR application, or M27W101-80K6TR equivalent, this page delivers verified read timing, programming voltage requirements, electronic signature codes, standby current behavior, and PLCC32 mechanical compatibility-critical for legacy system maintenance, EPROM socket replacement, and UV-erase cycle validation.
Technical Context
The M27W101-80K6TR implements dual-line output control via Chip Enable (E) and Output Enable (G), enabling low-power array partitioning: E selects device power state (active/standby), while G gates output drivers independently. This architecture ensures bus contention avoidance and supports TTL-level address/data inputs with CMOS-compatible logic thresholds.
It supports two distinct operational modes: Read mode (VCC = 2.7–3.6V, ICC = 15 mA active / 15 µA standby) and Programming mode (VCC = 6.25V ± 0.25V, VPP = 12.75V ± 0.25V, 100 µs/byte pulse width). Electronic Signature mode uses 12V on A9 to return manufacturer code 20h and device code 05h on Q7–Q0.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (131,072 × 8 bits), directly replaceable for M27C1001 in 8-bit data bus systems. |
| Read Access Time | 80 ns at VCC = 2.7–3.6V, defining maximum sustained CPU clock rate for zero-wait-state operation. |
| Supply Voltage (Read) | 2.7V–3.6V, enabling direct interface with 3.3V logic without level shifters. |
| Standby Current | 15 µA at VCC ≤ 3.6V with E = VIH, critical for battery-backed memory retention. |
| Programming Voltage | VPP = 12.75V ± 0.25V, VCC = 6.25V ± 0.25V - requires dedicated EPROM programmer with dual-rail supply. |
| Electronic Signature | Manufacturer Code = 20h, Device Code = 05h, used by programmers to auto-select Presto II algorithm. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C, qualified for industrial-grade embedded controller environments. |
Pinout & Package
PLCC32 (32-lead Rectangular Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier, K suffix), 11.43 mm × 13.97 mm body, J-lead profile, lead-free ECOPACK® compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus (0–131,071); A9 carries 12V for Electronic Signature mode. |
| Q0–Q7 | Data Outputs | Bi-directional 8-bit data bus; outputs valid only when E = VIL and G = VIL. |
| E | Chip Enable | Primary device select; VIH places device in 15 µA standby, isolating outputs. |
| G | Output Enable | Secondary output gate; controls Q0–Q7 drive independent of E state. |
| P | Program Control | Active-low pulse input; initiates byte programming when E = VIL and VPP = 12.75V. |
| VPP | Programming Supply | 12.75V input required during programming/verify; must be applied simultaneously with or after VCC. |
| VCC | Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6V for read/standby; 6.25V ± 0.25V for programming - not interchangeable across modes. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference for all signals; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Voltage Read Operation | 2.7V minimum VCC enables direct integration into 3.3V systems without regulators or level translators. |
| Two-Line Output Control (E + G) | Enables hierarchical memory banking: E powers down entire device (15 µA), G disables outputs only (Hi-Z), preventing bus conflicts. |
| Presto II Programming Algorithm | Guarantees full-array programming in ~13 seconds with margin verify at elevated VCC, eliminating over-program risk. |
| Electronic Signature Support | Standardized 20h/05h ID codes allow automatic algorithm selection in universal EPROM programmers. |
| UV Erase Capability (FDIP variant) | FDIP32W package includes quartz window for 15–20 min UV exposure (2537 Å, ≥15 W·sec/cm²) to reset all bits to '1'. |

| Avionics Maintenance Terminal BIOS | Test Equipment Pattern Memory |
|
Use Scenario: Storing boot loader and configuration data in portable avionics ground support equipment operating across –40°C to +70°C environmental chambers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: EPROM-based BIOS executing self-test and hardware initialization before loading OS from flash; requires deterministic 80 ns read latency. Use Value: Pin compatibility with M27C1001 enables drop-in replacement in aging designs; 2,000V ESD rating protects against handling damage in ESD-safe labs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C1001-12DC | 5V-only operation (no 2.7–3.6V read mode); 120 ns access time; requires 21V VPP for programming. | Not suitable for low-voltage systems; incompatible with 3.3V I/O domains without translation. | Select only if legacy 5V infrastructure and existing 21V programmer are in place. |
| M27C1001-10F1 | Same pinout and electronic signature (20h/05h); 100 ns access at 5V; UV-erasable only in FDIP package. | Lacks low-voltage read capability; higher active current (30 mA) reduces battery life in portable units. | Use where UV erasure is mandatory and 5V supply is available; avoid in new 3.3V designs. |
Compared with AM27C1001-12DC and M27C1001-10F1, the M27W101-80K6TR uniquely supports 2.7–3.6V operation with 80 ns timing and 15 µA standby, making it the only viable EPROM for upgrading legacy 5V systems to 3.3V while retaining UV/OTP flexibility and socket compatibility.

FAQ
What programming voltage and algorithm does M27W101-80K6TR require?
The M27W101-80K6TR requires VPP = 12.75V ± 0.25V and VCC = 6.25V ± 0.25V during programming, using the Presto II algorithm with 100 µs pulses per byte and automatic margin verify at elevated VCC. It shares identical electronic signature (20h/05h) and pinout with M27C1001, enabling use of compatible programmers.
Is M27W101-80K6TR UV-erasable?
No - the -80K6TR suffix indicates PLCC32 packaging with no quartz window; it is OTP-only. UV erasure is supported only in the FDIP32W (F) variant with ceramic frit-seal window. The PLCC version is permanently programmed after initial write and cannot be erased by UV light.
Can M27W101-80K6TR operate at 3.3V without timing degradation?
Yes - it is fully specified for 2.7V–3.6V read operation, with 80 ns access time guaranteed across that entire range at –40°C to +85°C. At 3.3V, typical access is 70 ns, meeting timing margins for 12 MHz Z80 or 8051 derivatives without wait states.
What decoupling is required for stable operation?
Each M27W101-80K6TR requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed between VCC and VSS within 5 mm of the PLCC pins. For multi-device boards, add a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor per eight devices near the main power entry point to suppress transient voltage drops caused by E-signal edge currents.
