Description
The AT27BV256 is a high performance, low power, low voltage 262,144 bit one-time
programmable read only memory (OTP EPROM) organized as 32K by 8 bits. It re-
quires only one supply in the range of 2.7V to 3.6V in normal read mode operation,
making it ideal for fast, portable systems using either regulated or unregulated battery
power.

Atmel’s innovative design techniques provide fast speeds that rival 5V parts while
keeping the low power consumption of a 3V supply. At V
CC
= 2.7V, any word can be
accessed in less than 70 ns. With a typical power dissipation of only 18 mW at 5 MHz
and V
CC
= 3V, the AT27BV256 consumes less than one fifth the power of a standard
5V EPROM.

Description
(Continued)
Standby mode supply current is typically less than 1
µA
at
3V. The AT27BV256 simplifies system design and
stretches battery lifetime even further by eliminating the
need for power supply regulation.
The AT27BV256 is available in industry standard JEDEC-
approved one-time programmable (OTP) plastic PLCC,
SOIC and TSOP packages. All devices feature two-line
control (CE, OE) to give designers the flexibility to prevent
bus contention.
The AT27BV256 operating with V
CC
at 3.0V produces TTL
level outputs that are compatible with standard TTL logic
devices operating at V
CC
= 5.0V. At V
CC
= 2.7V, the part
is compatible with JEDEC approved low voltage battery
operation (LVBO) interface specifications. The device is
also capable of standard 5-volt operation making it ideally
suited for dual supply range systems or card products that
are pluggable in both 3-volt and 5-volt hosts.
Atmel’s AT27BV256 has additional features to ensure
high quality and efficient production use. The Rapid
™
Pro-
gramming Algorithm reduces the time required to program
the part and guarantees reliable programming. Program-
ming time is typically only 100
µs/byte.
The Integrated
Product Identification Code electronically identifies the de-
vice and manufacturer. This feature is used by industry
standard programming equipment to select the proper
programming algorithms and voltages. The AT27BV256
programs exactly the same way as a standard 5V
AT27C256R and uses the same programming equipment.
System Considerations
Switching between active and standby conditions via the
Chip Enable pin may produce transient voltage excur-
sions. Unless accommodated by the system design, these
transients may exceed data sheet limits, resulting in de-
vice non-conformance. At a minimum, a 0.1
µF
high fre-
quency, low inherent inductance, ceramic capacitor
should be utilized for each device. This capacitor should
be connected between the V
CC
and Ground terminals of
the device, as close to the device as possible. Additionally,
to stabilize the supply voltage level on printed circuit
boards with large EPROM arrays, a 4.7
µF
bulk electrolytic
capacitor should be utilized, again connected between the
V
CC
and Ground terminals. This capacitor should be posi-
tioned as close as possible to the point where the power
supply is connected to the array.

*NOTICE: Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maxi-

This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions beyond those indi-
cated in the operational sections of this specification is not
implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions
for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note:
1. Minimum voltage is -0.6V dc which may undershoot
to -2.0V for pulses of less than 20 ns. Maximum out-
put pin voltage is V
CC
+ 0.75V dc which may be ex-
ceeded if certain precautions are observed (consult
application notes) and which may overshoot to
+7.0V for pulses of less than 20 ns.
