GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am27C64 is a 64-Kbit, ultraviolet erasable pro-
grammable read-only memory. It is organized as 8K
words by 8 bits per word, operates from a single +5 V
supply, has a static standby mode, and features fast
single address location programming. Products are
available in windowed ceramic DIP packages, as well
as plastic one time programmable (OTP) PDIP and
PLCC packages.
Data can be typically accessed in less than 45 ns, al-
lowing high-performance microprocessors to operate
without any WAIT states. The device offers separate
Output Enable (OE#) and Chip Enable (CE#) controls,
thus eliminating bus contention in a multiple bus micro-
processor system.
AMD’s CMOS process technology provides high
speed, low power, and high noise immunity. Typical
power consumption is only 80 mW in active mode, and
100 µW in standby mode.
All signals are TTL levels, including programming sig-
nals. Bit locations may be programmed singly, in
blocks, or at random. The device supports AMD’s
Flashrite programming algorithm (100 µs pulses), re-
sulting in a typical programming time of 1 second.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Device Erasure
In order to clear all locations of their programmed con-
tents, the device must be exposed to an ultraviolet light
source. A dosage of 15 W seconds/cm
2
is required to
completely erase the device. This dosage can be ob-
tained by exposure to an ultraviolet lamp—wavelength
of 2537 Å—with intensity of 12,000 µW/cm
2
for 15 to 20
minutes. The device should be directly under and about
one inch from the source, and all filters should be re-
moved from the UV light source prior to erasure.
Note that all UV erasable devices will erase with light
sources having wavelengths shorter than 4000 Å, such
as fluorescent light and sunlight. Although the erasure
process happens over a much longer time period, ex-
posure to any light source should be prevented for
maximum system reliability. Simply cover the package
window with an opaque label or substance.
V
PP
= 12.75 V
±
0.25 V and PGM# LOW will program
that particular device. A high-level CE# input inhibits
the other devices from being programmed.
Program Verify
A verification should be performed on the programmed
bits to determine that they were correctly programmed.
The verify should be performed with OE# and CE#, at
V
IL
, PGM# at V
IH
, and V
PP
between 12.5 V and 13.0 V.
Autoselect Mode
The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and de-
vice identification through identifier codes on DQ0–
DQ7. This mode is primarily intended for programming
equipment to automatically match a device to be pro-
grammed with its corresponding programming algo-
rithm. This mode is functional in the 25°C
±
5°C
ambient temperature range that is required when pro-
gramming the device.
To activate this mode, the programming equipment
must force V
H
on address line A9. Two identifier bytes
may then be sequenced from the device outputs by tog-
gling address line A0 from V
IL
to V
IH
(that is, changing
the address from 00h to 01h). All other address lines
must be held at V
IL
during the autoselect mode.
Byte 0 (A0 = V
IL
) represents the manufacturer code,
and Byte 1 (A0 = V
IH
), the device identifier code. Both
codes have odd parity, with DQ7 as the parity bit.
Device Programming
Upon delivery, or after each erasure, the device has all
of its bits in the “ONE”, or HIGH state. “ZEROs” are
loaded into the device through the programming pro-
cedure.
The device enters the programming mode when 12.75
V
±
0.25 V is applied to the V
PP
pin, and CE# and
PGM# are at V
IL
.
For programming, the data to be programmed is ap-
plied 8 bits in parallel to the data pins.
The flowchar t in the Programming section of the
EPROM Products Data Book (Section 5, Figure 5-1)
shows AMD’s Flashrite algorithm. The Flashrite algo-
rithm reduces programming time by using a 100 µs pro-
gramming pulse and by giving each address only as
many pulses to reliably program the data. After each
pulse is applied to a given address, the data in that ad-
dress is verified. If the data does not verify, additional
pulses are given until it verifies or the maximum pulses
allowed is reached. This process is repeated while se-
quencing through each address of the device. This part
of the algorithm is done at V
CC
= 6.25 V to assure that
each EPROM bit is programmed to a sufficiently high
threshold voltage. After the final address is completed,
the entire EPROM memory is verified at V
CC
= V

5.25 V.
Please refer to Section 5 of the EPROM Products Data
Book for additional programming information and spec-
ifications.
Read Mode
To obtain data at the device outputs, Chip Enable (CE#)
and Output Enable (OE#) must be driven low. CE# con-
trols the power to the device and is typically used to se-
lect the device. OE# enables the device to output data,
independent of device selection. Addresses must be
stable for at least t
ACC

OE
. Refer to the Switching
Waveforms section for the timing diagram.
Standby Mode
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when CE#
is at V
CC
±
0.3 V. Maximum V
CC
current is reduced to
100 µA. The device enters the TTL-standby mode
when CE# is at V
IH
. Maximum V
CC
current is reduced
to 1.0 mA. When in either standby mode, the device
places its outputs in a high-impedance state, indepen-
dent of the OE# input.
Output OR-Tieing
To accommodate multiple memory connections, a
two-line control function provides:
s
Low memory power dissipation, and
s
Assurance that output bus contention will not occur.
CE# should be decoded and used as the primary de-
vice-selecting function, while OE# be made a common
Program Inhibit
Programming different data to multiple devices in par-
allel is easily accomplished. Except for CE#, all like in-
puts of the devices may be common. A TTL low-level
program pulse applied to one device’s CE# input with
