DESCRIPTION
The M27V402 is a low voltage, low power 4 Mbit
UV erasable and electrically programmable
EPROM, ideally suited for handheld and portable
microprocessor systems requiring large programs.
It is organized as 262,144 by 16 bits.
The M27V402 operates in the read mode with a
supply voltage as low as 3V. The decrease in op-
erating power allows either a reduction of the size
of the battery or an increase in the time between
battery recharges.
The FDIP40W (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 to the
device by following the programming procedure.

For applications where the content is programmed
only one time and erasure is not required, the
M27V256 is offered in PDIP40, PLCC44 and
TSOP40 (10 x 20 mm) packages.
DEVICE OPERATION
The operating modes of the M27V402 are listed in
the Operating Modes table. A single power supply
is required in the read mode. All inputs are TTL
levels except for V
PP
and 12V on A9 for Electronic
Signature.
Read Mode
The M27V402 has two control functions, both of
which must be logically active in order to obtain
data at the outputs. 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 address 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 addresses have been
stable for at least t
AVQV
-t
GLQV
.

Standby Mode
The M27V402 has a standby mode which reduces
the supply current from 20mA to 20µA with low
voltage operation V
CC
≤
3.6V, see Read Mode DC
Characteristics table for details. The M27V402 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, the 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
devices. The supply current, I
CC
, has three seg-
ments that are of interest to the system designer:
the standby current level, the active current level,
and transient current peaks that are produced by
the falling and rising edges of E. The magnitude of
the transient current peaks is dependent on the
output capacitive and inductive loading of the de-
vice.
The associated transient voltage peaks can be
suppressed by complying with the two line output
control and by properly selected decoupling ca-
pacitors. It is recommended that a 0.1µF ceramic
capacitor be used on every device between V
CC
and V
SS
. This should be a high frequency capaci-
tor of low inherent inductance and should be
placed as close to the device as possible. In addi-
tion, a 4.7µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should be
used between V
CC
and V
SS
for every eight devic-
es. The bulk capacitor should be located near the
power supply connection point.The purpose of the
bulk capacitor is to overcome the voltage drop
caused by the inductive effects of PCB traces.
Programming
When delivered (and after each erasure for UV
EPROM), all bits of the M27V402 are in the ’1’
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 present in the data word. The only way to
change a ’0’ to a ’1’ is by die exposure to ultraviolet
light (UV EPROM). The M27V402 is in the pro-
gramming mode when V
PP
input is at 12.75V, G ia
at V
IH
and E is pulsed to V
IL
. The data to be pro-
grammed is applied to 16 bits in parallel to the data
output pins.
The levels required for the address and data in-
puts are TTL. V
CC
is specified to be 6.25V
±
0.25V.
