Note 12: VCC must be applied simultaneously or before VPP and removed simultaneously or after VPP. The EPROM must not be inserted into or removed from a board with voltage applied to VPP or VCC. Note 13: The maximum absolute allowable voltage which may be applied to the VPP pin during programming is 14V. Care must be taken when switching the VPP supply to prevent any overshoot from exceeding this 14V maximum specification. At least a 0.1 µF capacitor is required across VPP, VCC to GND to suppress spurious voltage transients which may damage the device. Note 14: During power up the PGM pin must be brought high (≥ VIH) either coincident with or before power is applied to VPP. 5 www.fairchildsemi.com NM27C128 131,072-Bit (16K x 8) High Performance CMOS EPROM Programming Characteristics (Notes 11, 12, 13, 14) NM27C128 131,072-Bit (16K x 8) High Performance CMOS EPROM Turbo Programming Algorithm Flow Chart VCC = 6.5V VPP = 12.75V n=0 ADDRESS = FIRST LOCATION PROGRAM ONE 50µs PULSE INCREMENT n NO DEVICE FAILED YES n = 10?

DS011329-6 FIGURE 1. 6 www.fairchildsemi.com Programming DEVICE OPERATION CAUTION: Exceeding 14V on pin 1 (VPP) will damage the EPROM. The six modes of operation of the EPROM are listed in Table 1. It should be noted that all inputs for the six modes are at TTL levels. The power supplies required are VCC and VPP. The VPP power supply must be at 12.75V during the three programming modes, and must be at 5V in the other three modes. The VCC power supply must be at 6.5V during the three programming modes, and at 5V in the other three modes. Initially, and after each erasure, all bits of the EPROM are in the “1’s” state. Data is introduced by selectively programming “0’s” into the desired bit locations. Although only “0’s” will be programmed, both “1’s” and “0’s” can be presented in the data word. The only way to change a “0” to a “1” is by ultraviolet light erasure. The EPROM is in the programming mode when the VPP power supply is at 12.75V, CE is at VIL, and OE is at VIH. It is required that at least a 0.1 µF capacitor be placed across VPP, VCC to ground to suppress spurious voltage transients which may damage the device. The data to be programmed is applied 8 bits in parallel to the data output pins. The levels required for the address and data inputs are TTL. Read Mode The EPROM has two control functions, both of which must be logically active in order to obtain data at the outputs. Chip Enable (CE) is the power control and should be used for device selection. Output Enable (OE) is the output control and should be used to gate data to the output pins, independent of device selection. Assuming that addresses are stable, address access time (tACC) is equal to the delay from CE to output (tCE). Data is available at the outputs tOE after the falling edge of OE, assuming that CE has been low and addresses have been stable for at least tACC –tOE. When the address and data are stable, an active low, TTL program pulse is applied to the PGM input. A program pulse must be applied at each address location to be programmed. The EPROM is programmed with the Turbo Programming Algorithm shown in Figure 1. Each Address is programmed with a series of 50 µs pulses until it verifies good, up to a maximum of 10 pulses. Most memory cells will program with a single 50 µs pulse. (The standard National Semiconductor algorithm may also be used but it will have longer programming time.) Standby Mode The EPROM has a standby mode which reduces the active power dissipation by over 99%, from 220 mW to 0.55 mW. The EPROM is placed in the standby mode by applying a CMOS high signal to the CE input. When in standby mode, the outputs are in a high impedance state, independent of the OE input. The EPROM must not be programmed with a DC signal applied to the PGM input. Programming multiple EPROM in parallel with the same data can be easily accomplished due to the simplicity of the programming requirments. Like inputs of the parallel EPROM may be connected together when they are programmed with the same data. A low level TTL pulse applied to the PGM input programs the paralleled EPROM. Output Disable The EPROM is placed in output disable by applying a TTL high signal to the OE input. When in output disable all circuitry is enabled, except the outputs are in a high impedance state (TRISTATE). Program Inhibit Output OR-Typing Programming multiple EPROMs in parallel with different data is also easily accomplished. Except for CE all like inputs (including OE) of the parallel EPROMs may be common. A TTL low level program pulse applied to an EPROM’s CE input with VPP at 12.75V will program that EPROM. A TTL high level CE input inhibits the other EPROMs from being programmed. Because the EPROM is usually used in larger memory arrays, Fairchild has provided a 2-line control function that accommodates this use of multiple memory connections. The 2-line control function allows for: 1. the lowest possible memory power dissipation, and 2. complete assurance that output bus contention will not occur. To most efficiently use these two control lines, it is recommended that CE be decoded and used as the primary device selecting function, while OE be made a common connection to all devices in the array and connected to the READ line from the system control bus. This assures that all deselected memory devices are in their low power standby modes and that the output pins are active only when data is desired from a particular memory device. 7 www.fairchildsemi.com NM27C128 131,072-Bit (16K x 8) High Performance CMOS EPROM Functional Description The EPROM should be placed within 1 inch of the lamp tubes during erasure. Some lamps have a filter on their tubes which should be removed before erasure. Table 1 shows the minimum EPROM erasure time for various light intensities. Program Verify A verify should be performed on the programmed bits to determine whether they were correctly programmed. The verify may be performed with VPP at 12.75V. VPP must be at VCC, except during programming and program verify. An erasure system should be calibrated periodically. The distance from lamp to device should be maintained at one inch. The erasure time increases as the square of the distance from the lamp (if distance is doubled the erasure time increases by factor of 4). Lamps lose intensity as they age. When a lamp is changed, the distance has changed, or the lamp has aged, the system should be checked to make certain full erasure is occurring. Incomplete erasure will cause symptoms that can be misleading. Programmers, components, and even system designs have been erroneously suspected when incomplete erasure was the problem. AFTER PROGRAMMING Opaque labels should be placed over the EPROM window to prevent unintentional erasure. Covering the window will also prevent temporary functional failure due to the generation of photo currents. MANUFACTURER’S IDENTIFICATION CODE SYSTEM CONSIDERATION The EPROM has a manufacturer’s identification code to aid in programming. When the device is inserted in an EPROM programmer socket, the programmer reads the code and then automatically calls up the specific programming algorithm for the part. This automatic programming control is only possible with programmers which have the capability of reading the code. The power switching characteristics of EPROMs require careful decoupling of the devices. The supply current, ICC, has three segments that are of interest to the system designer: the standby current level, the active current level, and the transient current peaks that are produced by voltage transitions on input pins. The magnitude of these transient current peaks is dependent of the output capacitance loading of the device. The associated VCC transient voltage peaks can be suppressed by properly selected decoupling capacitors. It is recommended that at least a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor be used on every device between VCC and GND. This should be a high frequency capacitor of low inherent inductance. In addition, at least a 4.7 µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should be used between VCC and GND for each eight devices. The bulk capacitor should be located near where the power supply is connected to the array. The purpose of the bulk capacitor is to overcome the voltage drop caused by the inductive effects of the PC board traces. The Manufacturer’s Identification code, shown in Table 2, specifically identifies the manufacture and device type. The code for NM27C128 is “8F83”, where “8F” designates that it is made by Fairchild Semiconductor, and “83” designates a 128K part. The code is accessed by applying 12V ±0.5V to address pin A9. Addresses A1–A8, A10–A13, and all control pins are held at VIL. Address pin A0 is held at VIL for the manufacturer’s code, and held at VIH for the device code. The code is read on the eight data pins, O0 –O7 . Proper code access is only guaranteed at 25°C to ±5°C. ERASURE CHARACTERISTICS The erasure characteristics of the device are such that erasure begins to occur when exposed to light with wavelengths shorter than approximately 4000 Angstroms (Å). It should be noted that sunlight and certain types of fluorescent lamps have wavelengths in the 3000Å – 4000Å range. The recommended erasure procedure for the EPROM is exposure to short wave ultraviolet light which has a wavelength of 2537Å. The integrated dose (i.e., UV intensity x exposure time) for erasure should be a minimum of 15W-sec/cm2 . 8 www.fairchildsemi.com NM27C128 131,072-Bit (16K x 8) High Performance CMOS EPROM Functional Description (Continued) The modes of operation of NM27C128 listed in Table 1.
