DESCRIPTION
The ST1200 is a 256 bit OTP (one time program-
mable) EPROM, organized as 256 x 1, manufac-
tured using ST’s highly reliable and well proven
NMOS technology.
The security mechanism, called Lock-Out, allows
the user to inhibit, in write mode, the access to a
memory section of 96 bits. Thus, by blowing a
polysilicon fuse, the address bits 0 to 95 can be
protected against write.
The 9th bit of the ST1200 is set to a logical “1” for
device identification purposes. In order to avoid
any modification, ST has mask-programmed this
bit to the logic “1” state.

ST1200
The ST1200 is available in wafer form (either sawn
or unsawn) and in micromodule form (on film).
For deliveries in wafer form, the memory content is
at logical “0”, except for the 9th bit (bit 8).
If the delivery is in micromodule, the first bit (bit 0)
has been programmed at “1” for final test control.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ST1200 has 3 operating modes in the normal
system environment. They are selected with the A
and B inputs, as shown in Table 2.
Power-On Reset
Because of the “power-on reset” feature, the
ST1200 is ready for operation (with the counter re-
set) after “t
RST
”. (t
RST
is the time for the output to
become available, after the establishment of a val-
id level on V
CC
). The ST1200 starts by presenting
the current cell (address 0) to the OUT pin.
