NM27C010
1,048,576-Bit (128K x 8) High Performance CMOS EPROM
General Description
The NM27C010 is a high performance, 1,048,576-bit Electri-
cally Programmable UV Erasable Read Only Memory. It is
organized as 128K-words of 8 bits each. Its pin-compatibility
with byte-wide JEDEC EPROMs enables upgrades through
8 Mbit EPROMs. The ‘‘Don’t Care’’ feature during read op-
erations allows memory expansions from 1M to 8M bits with
no printed circuit board changes.
The NM27C010 can directly replace lower density 28-pin
EPROMs by adding an A16 address line and VCC jumper.
During the normal read operation PGM and VPP are in a
‘‘Don’t Care’’ state which allows higher order addresses,
such as A17, A18, and A19 to be connected without affect-
ing the normal read operation. This allows memory up-
grades to 8M bits without hardware changes. The
NM27C010 is also offered in a 32-pin plastic DIP with the
same upgrade path.
The NM27C010 provides microprocessor-based systems
extensive storage capacity for large portions of operating
system and application software. Its 90 ns access time pro-
vides no-wait-state operation with high-performance CPUs.
The NM27C010 offers a single chip solution for the code
storage requirements of 100% firmware-based equipment.
Frequently-used software routines are quickly executed
from EPROM storage, greatly enhancing system utility.
The NM27C010 is manufactured using National’s advanced
CMOS AMGTM EPROM technology.
The NM27C010 is one member of a high density EPROM
Family which range in densities up to 4 Megabit.

Note 1: National’s standard product warranty applies only to devices programmed to specifications described herein.
Note 2: VCC must be applied simultaneously or before VPP and removed simultaneously or after VPP. The EPROM must not be inserted into or removed from a
board with voltage applied to VPP or VCC.
Note 3: The maximum absolute allowable voltage which may be applied to the VPP pin during programming is 14V. Care must be taken when switching the VPP
supply to prevent any overshoot from exceeding this 14V maximum specification. At least a 0.1 mF capacitor is required across VPP,V
CC to GND to suppress
spurious voltage transients which may damage the device.
Note 4: Programming and program verify are tested with the fast Program Algorithm, at typical power supply voltages and timings.
Note 5: During power up the PGM pin must be brought high (tVIH) either coincident with or before power is applied to VPP.

Functional Description
DEVICE OPERATION
The six modes of operation of the EPROM are listed in Ta-
ble I. It should be noted that all inputs for the six modes are
at TTL levels. The power supplies required are VCC and
VPP. The VPP power supply must be at 12.75V during the
three programming modes, and must be at 5V in the other
three modes. The VCC power supply must be at 6.25V dur-
ing the three programming modes, and at 5V in the other
three modes.
Read Mode
The EPROM has two control functions, both of which must
be logically active in order to obtain data at the outputs.
Chip Enable (CE) is the power control and should be used
for device selection. Output Enable (OE) is the output con-
trol and should be used to gate data to the output pins,
independent of device selection. Assuming that the ad-
dresses are stable, address access time (tACC) is equal to
the delay from CE to output (tCE). Data is available at the
outputs tOE after the falling edge of OE, assuming that CE
has been low and addresses have been stable for at least
tACC–tOE.
Standby Mode
The EPROM has a standby mode which reduces the active
power dissipation by over 99%, from 165 mW to 0.55 mW.
The EPROM is placed in the standby mode by applying a
CMOS high signal to the CE input. When in standby mode,
the outputs are in a high impedance state, independent of
the OE input.
Output Disable
The EPROM is placed in output disable by applying a TTL
high signal to the OE input. When in output disable all cir-
cuitry is enabled, except the outputs are in a high imped-
ance state (TRI-STATE).
Output OR-Tying
Because the EPROM is usually used in larger memory ar-
rays, National has provided a 2-line control function that
accommodates this use of multiple memory connections.
The 2-line control function allows for:
a) the lowest possible memory power dissipation, and
b) complete assurance that output bus contention will not
occur.
To most efficiently use these two control lines, it is recom-
mended that CE be decoded and used as the primary de-
vice selecting function, while OE be made a common con-
nection to all devices in the array and connected to the
READ line from the system control bus. This assures that all
deselected memory devices are in their low power standby
modes and that the output pins are active only when data is
desired from a particular memory device.
Programming
CAUTION: Exceeding 14V on the VPP or A9 pin will damage
the EPROM.
Initially, and after each erasure, all bits of the EPROM are in
the ‘‘1’s’’ state. Data is introduced by selectively program-
ming ‘‘0’s’’ into the desired bit locations. Although only
‘‘0’s’’ will be programmed, both ‘‘1’s’’ and ‘‘0’s’’ can be pre-
sented in the data word. The only way to change a ‘‘0’’ to a
‘‘1’’ is by ultraviolet light erasure.
The EPROM is in the programming mode when the VPP
power supply is at 12.75V and OE is at VIH. It is required
that at least a 0.1 mF capacitor be placed across VPP,V
CC
to ground to suppress spurious voltage transients which
may damage the device. The data to be programmed is
applied 8 bits in parallel to the data output pins. The levels
required for the address and data inputs are TTL.
When the address and data are stable, an active low, TTL
program pulse is applied to the PGM input. A program pulse
must be applied at each address location to be pro-
grammed. The EPROM is programmed with the Fast Pro-
gramming Algorithm shown in
Figure 1
. Each Address is
programmed with a series of 100 ms pulses until it verifies
good, up to a maximum of 25 pulses. Most memory cells will
program with a single 100 ms pulse.
The EPROM must not be programmed with a DC signal ap-
plied to the PGM input.
Programming multiple EPROM in parallel with the same
data can be easily accomplished due to the simplicity of the
programming requirements. Like inputs of the parallel
EPROM may be connected together when they are pro-
grammed with the same data. A low level TTL pulse applied
to the PGM input programs the paralleled EPROM.
Program Inhibit
Programming multiple EPROM’s in parallel with different
data is also easily accomplished. Except for CE all like in-
puts (including OE and PGM) of the parallel EPROM may be
common. A TTL low level program pulse applied to an
EPROM’s PGM input with CE at VIL and VPP at 12.75V will
program that EPROM. A TTL high level CE input inhibits the
other EPROM’s from being programmed.
Program Verify
A verify should be performed on the programmed bits to
determine whether they were correctly programmed. The
verify may be performed with VPP at 12.75V. VPP must be at
VCC, except during programming and program verify.
AFTER PROGRAMMING
Opaque labels should be placed over the EPROM window
to prevent unintentional erasure. Covering the window will
also prevent temporary functional failure due to the genera-
tion of photo currents.
MANUFACTURER’S IDENTIFICATION CODE
The EPROM has a manufacturer’s indentification code to
aid in programming. When the device is inserted in an
EPROM programmer socket, the programmer reads the
code and then automatically calls up the specific program-
ming algorithm for the part. This automatic programming
control is only possible with programmers which have the
capability of reading the code.
The Manufacturer’s Identification code, shown in Table II,
specifically identifies the manufacturer and device type. The
code for the NM27C010 is ‘‘8F86’’, where ‘‘8F’’ designates
that it is made by National Semiconductor, and ‘‘86’’ desig-
nates a 1 Megabit (128K c8) part.
The code is accessed by applying 12V g0.5V to address
pin A9. Addresses A1 A8, A10 A16, and all control pins
are held at VIL. Address pin A0 is held at VIL for the manu-
facturer’s code, and held at VIH for the device code. The
code is read on the eight data pins, O0 07. Proper code
access is only guaranteed at 25§Cg5§C.

ERASURE CHARACTERISTICS
The erasure characteristics of the device are such that era-
sure begins to occur when exposed to light with wave-
lengths shorter than approximately 4000 Angstroms (Ð). It
should be noted that sunlight and certain types of fluores-
cent lamps have wavelengths in the 3000Ð4000Ðrange.
The recommended erasure procedure for the EPROM is ex-
posure to short wave ultraviolet light which has a wave-
length of 2537Ð. The integrated dose (i.e., UV intensity X
exposure time) for erasure should be a minimum of 15W-
sec/cm2.
The EPROM should be placed within 1 inch of the lamp
tubes during erasure. Some lamps have a filter on their
tubes which should be removed before erasure.
An erasure system should be calibrated periodically. The
distance from lamp to device should be maintained at one
inch. The erasure time increases as the square of the dis-
tance from the lamp. (if distance is doubled the erasure time
increases by factor of 4). Lamps lose intensity as they age.
When a lamp is changed, the distance has changed, or the
lamp has aged, the system should be checked to make cer-
tain full erasure is occurring. Incomplete erasure will cause
symptoms that can be misleading. Programmers, compo-
nents and even system designs have been erroneously sus-
pected when incomplete erasure was the problem.
SYSTEM CONSIDERATION
The power switching characteristics of EPROMs require
careful decoupling of the devices. The supply current, ICC,
has three segments that are of interest to the system de-
signer: the standby current level, the active current level,
and the transient current peaks that are produced by volt-
age transitions on input pins. The magnitude of these tran-
sient current peaks is dependent on the output capacitance
loading of the device. The associated VCC transient voltage
peaks can be suppressed by properly selected decoupling
capacitors. It is recommended that at least a 0.1 mF ceramic
capacitor be used on every device between VCC and GND.
This should be a high frequency capacitor of low inherent
inductance. In addition, at least a 4.7 mF bulk electrolytic
capacitor should be used between VCC and GND for each
eight devices. The bulk capacitor should be located near
where the power supply is connected to the array. The pur-
pose of the bulk capacitor is to overcome the voltage drop
caused by the inductive effects of the PC board traces.
MODE SELECTION
The modes of operation of the NM27C010 are listed in Table I. A single 5V power supply is required in the read mode. All inputs
are TTL levels except for VPP and A9 for device signature.
