Functional Description

The M27512 operates in three modes: read, standby, and programming. During read operations, the addressed byte is available at the output pins after the specified access time. The device enters standby mode when CE is at VIH, reducing power consumption. Programming is accomplished by applying VPP (12.75V) to the programming pin while providing the appropriate address and data inputs with specific timing.

The memory array is organized in a symmetrical pattern to maximize reliability and minimize access times. The device incorporates internal circuitry for program verification and program inhibit functions. An additional program pulse can be applied without UV erasure for fine-tuning of marginal memory cells.

Programming Procedure

Apply Vcc (+5V) and Vpp (+12.75V)
Set address pins to desired location
Apply data to output pins
Pulse CE/PGM pin low for 45-55ms
Verify programmed data
Repeat for all memory locations

The entire chip can be erased by exposure to ultraviolet light with a wavelength of 2537Å. Typical erasure requires 15-30 minutes of exposure to UV light at an intensity of 12,000μW/cm². After erasure, all bits read as FFh (all ones).

Quality and Reliability

The M27512 meets or exceeds the following reliability specifications:

Endurance: 100,000 program/erase cycles minimum
Data Retention: 20 years minimum at 125°C
ESD Protection: 2000V minimum (Human Body Model)
Latch-Up Protection: 100mA
