DESCRIPTION
The M27W800 is a low voltage 8 Mbit EPROM of-
fered in the two ranges UV (ultra violet erase) and
OTP (one time programmable). It is ideally suited
for microprocessor systems requiring large data or
program storage. It is organised as either 1 Mbit
words of 8 bit or 512 Kbit words of 16 bit. The pin-
out is compatible with a 8 Mbit Mask ROM.
The M27W800 operates in the read mode with a
supply voltage as low as 2.7V. The decrease in
operating power allows either a reduction of the
size of the battery or an increase in the time be-
tween battery recharges.
The FDIP42W (window ceramic frit-seal package)
has a transparent lid which allows the user to ex-
pose the chip to ultraviolet light to erase the bit pat-
tern. A new pattern can then be written rapidly to
the device by following the programming proce-
dure.
For applications where the content is programmed
only one time and erasure is not required, the
M27W800 is offered in PDIP42 and PLCC44 pack-
age.

DEVICE OPERATION
The operating modes of the M27W800 are listed in
the Operating Modes Table. A single power supply
is required in the read mode. All inputs are TTL
compatible except for V
PP
and 12V on A9 for the
Electronic Signature.
Read Mode
The M27W800 has two organisations, Word-wide
and Byte-wide. The organisation is selected by the
signal level on the BYTEV
PP
pin. When BYTEV
PP
is at V
IH
the Word-wide organisation is selected
and the Q15A–1 pin is used for Q15 Data Output.
When the BYTEV
PP
pin is at V
IL
the Byte-wide or-
ganisation is selected and the Q15A–1 pin is used
for the Address Input A–1. When the memory is
logically regarded as 16 bit wide, but read in the
Byte-wide organisation, then with A–1 at V
IL
the
lower 8 bits of the 16 bit data are selected and with
A–1 at V
IH
the upper 8 bits of the 16 bit data are
selected.
The M27W800 has two control functions, both of
which must be logically active in order to obtain
data at the outputs. In addition the Word-wide or
Byte-wide organisation must be selected.
Chip Enable (E) is the power control and should be
used for device selection. Output Enable (G) is the
output control and should be used to gate data to
the output pins independent of device selection.
Assuming that the addresses are stable, the ad-
dress access time (t
AVQV
) is equal to the delay
from E to output (t
ELQV
). Data is available at the
output after a delay of t
GLQV
from the falling edge
of G, assuming that E has been low and the ad-
dresses have been stable for at least t
AVQV
-t
GLQV
.

Standby Mode
The M27W800 has a standby mode which reduc-
es the supply current from 20mA to 20µA with low
voltage operation V
CC
≤
3.6V, see Read Mode DC
Characteristics table for details.The M27W800 is
placed in the standby mode by applying a CMOS
high signal to the E input. When in the standby
mode, the outputs are in a high impedance state,
independent of the G input.
Two Line Output Control
Because EPROMs are usually used in larger
memory arrays, this product features a 2 line con-
trol function which accommodates the use of mul-
tiple memory connection. The two line control
function allows:
a. the lowest possible memory power dissipation,
b. complete assurance that output bus contention
will not occur.
For the most efficient use of these two control
lines, E should be decoded and used as the prima-
ry device selecting function, while G should be
made a common connection to all devices in the
array and connected to the READ line from the
system control bus. This ensures that all deselect-
ed memory devices are in their low power standby
mode and that the output pins are only active
when data is required from a particular memory
device.
System Considerations
The power switching characteristics of Advanced
CMOS EPROMs require careful decoupling of the
supplies to the devices. The supply current ICC
has three segments of importance to the system
designer: the standby current, the active current
and the transient peaks that are produced by the
falling and rising edges of E. The magnitude of the
transient current peaks is dependent on the ca-
pacitive and inductive loading of the device out-
puts. The associated transient voltage peaks can
be suppressed by complying with the two line out-
put control and by properly selected decoupling
capacitors. It is recommended that a 0.1µF ceram-
ic capacitor is used on every device between V
CC
and V
SS
. This should be a high frequency type of
low inherent inductance and should be placed as
close as possible to the device. In addition, a
4.7µF electrolytic capacitor should be used be-
tween V
CC
and V
SS
for every eight devices. This
capacitor should be mounted near the power sup-
ply connection point. The purpose of this capacitor
is to overcome the voltage drop caused by the in-
ductive effects of PCB traces.
