Product details
Overview
M27W512-100K6TR from STMicroelectronics is a 512 Kbit (64 K × 8) one-time programmable EPROM with low-voltage read operation (2.7–3.6 V), 100 ns access time, and PLCC32 package. It functions as nonvolatile program storage in microprocessor-based systems, supports TTL-level addressing/data, and delivers 15 µA standby current for battery-sensitive applications such as portable instrumentation and legacy industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the M27W512-100K6TR datasheet, M27W512-100K6TR pinout, M27W512-100K6TR application, or M27W512-100K6TR equivalent, key selection criteria include OTP reliability under extended temperature (–40 to +85 °C), compatibility with M27C512 programming hardware, two-line output control for memory array bus contention avoidance, and ECOPACK® lead-free PLCC32 mechanical compliance.
Technical Context
The M27W512-100K6TR implements a CMOS-based OTP EPROM architecture with dual-control read logic: Chip Enable (E) governs power state and device selection, while Output Enable (G) independently gates data onto Q0–Q7 outputs-enabling low-power deselection of unaddressed devices in multi-chip memory arrays. Its PRESTO IIB programming algorithm applies 100 µs pulses per byte at VPP = 12.75 V and VCC = 6.25 V to achieve full array programming in ~6.5 s with guaranteed margin verification.
Electronic signature mode uses 12 V on A9 and toggling A0 to output manufacturer code 20h and device code 3Dh-enabling automatic algorithm matching in programming equipment. Standby current drops to 15 µA when E = VIH, and all outputs enter high-impedance regardless of GVPP state, ensuring clean bus isolation during inactive periods.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 512 Kbit (64 K × 8); provides fixed boot code or configuration storage without erase capability. |
| Read access time | 100 ns at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V; enables direct interface with 10 MHz microcontrollers without wait states. |
| Supply voltage (read) | 2.7–3.6 V; supports single-supply operation in battery-powered systems down to 2.7 V cutoff. |
| Standby current | 15 µA max at VCC ≤ 3.6 V; extends battery life in always-on embedded monitoring nodes. |
| Programming voltage | VPP = 12.75 V ± 0.25 V; requires dedicated programming supply but maintains compatibility with M27C512 tools. |
| Operating temperature | –40 to +85 °C; qualified for industrial control panels and automotive body electronics environments. |
| Package | PLCC32 (K suffix); surface-mountable with gull-wing leads, ECOPACK® lead-free construction. |
Pinout & Package
Package: PLCC32 (Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier, 32-pin, JEDEC MO-047AC compliant, ECOPACK® lead-free finish).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address inputs | 16-bit address bus accepting TTL-compatible levels; selects one of 65,536 bytes. |
| Q0–Q7 | Data outputs | 8-bit bidirectional data bus (output only in read/verify; input during programming). |
| E | Chip Enable | Active-low primary device select; controls power state and initiates programming pulse when pulsed low with VPP applied. |
| G | Output Enable | Active-low secondary output gate; isolates Q0–Q7 from bus independently of E, enabling multi-device contention control. |
| VPP | Program supply | 12.75 V programming voltage input; must be stable before and after VCC during programming cycles. |
| VCC | Supply voltage | 2.7–3.6 V for read; 6.25 V ± 0.25 V for programming; decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic + 4.7 µF bulk per 8 devices. |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return for all signals; must be low-inductance connection to minimize transient noise. |
| A9 (ES) | Electronic signature enable | Receives 11.5–12.5 V to activate manufacturer/device code readout via Q0–Q7 on A0 toggle. |
| NC / DU | No connect / Don't use | Pins 2, 18, 26, 31 are internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded-not driven. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Two-line output control (E + G) | Enables zero-bus-contention memory expansion: E deselects device into 15 µA standby, G gates outputs without affecting power state. |
| PRESTO IIB programming | Reduces full-array programming to ~6.5 s using margin-mode verify at elevated VCC, eliminating overprogramming and improving cell endurance. |
| Electronic signature (20h/3Dh) | Allows programming tools to auto-identify STMicroelectronics M27W512 and load correct algorithm-no manual part selection required. |
| ECOPACK® PLCC32 package | Lead-free second-level interconnect compliant with JEDEC JESD97; supports RoHS-compliant reflow and long-term reliability in industrial environments. |
| High-reliability CMOS process | 2000 V HBM ESD protection and 200 mA latch-up immunity ensure robustness in noisy factory-floor or field-deployed systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar OTP EPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AM27C512-10DC | 5 V-only operation (4.5–5.5 V), 100 ns access, PDIP32 package; no low-voltage read capability. | Requires separate 5 V rail; unsuitable for battery-powered or mixed-voltage systems. | Select only if legacy 5 V design must avoid board redesign and programming voltage infrastructure already exists. |
| M27C512-10K6 | 5 V operation, identical PLCC32 footprint and pinout, same 100 ns speed and electronic signature (20h/3Dh). | Higher active/standby current (30 mA / 100 µA); lacks low-voltage read support below 4.5 V. | Choose when upgrading from M27C512 in existing 5 V systems where power budget allows higher ICC and no battery operation is needed. |
Compared with AM27C512-10DC and M27C512-10K6, the M27W512-100K6TR uniquely enables single-supply battery operation down to 2.7 V while retaining M27C512 programming compatibility and PLCC32 mechanical fit-making it the only viable OTP EPROM for energy-constrained industrial upgrades.

FAQ
Is M27W512-100K6TR still in production or marked obsolete?
Yes, M27W512-100K6TR is officially listed as an obsolete product by STMicroelectronics as of its June 2008 datasheet revision. However, Aetrix Electronics maintains verified legacy stock with full traceability, including original ST packaging and date codes, supporting ongoing maintenance and repair of deployed systems.
Can M27W512-100K6TR be programmed on standard M27C512 programmers?
Yes-M27W512-100K6TR shares identical pinout, electronic signature (20h/3Dh), and PRESTO II programming algorithm compatibility with M27C512. It requires VPP = 12.75 V and VCC = 6.25 V during programming, matching standard M27C512 programmer settings.
What is the maximum allowed programming pulse width for reliable operation?
The datasheet specifies a nominal E pulse width of 100 µs ± 5 µs (95–105 µs) per byte in programming mode. Exceeding 105 µs risks overprogramming and reduced data retention; pulses must be precisely controlled using the PRESTO IIB flowchart's verify-before-next-pulse sequence.
Does M27W512-100K6TR support read operations at 2.5 V?
No-absolute minimum read supply voltage is 2.7 V per the datasheet's "Read mode DC characteristics" table. Operation below 2.7 V is not characterized and may result in invalid data output, increased access time variation, or failure to meet tELQV timing guarantees.
