Functional Description
A278308
Read Mode
The A278308 has two control functions, both of which
must be logically active in order to obtain data at the
outputs. CE is the power control and should be used for
device selection. OE is the output control and should be
used to data to the output pins, which is 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 output after a
delay (tOE) from the falling edge of OE , as long as CE
has been low and the addresses have been stable for at
least tACC - tOE.
Standby Mode
The A278308 has a standby mode which reduces the
active current from 30mA to 100µA. The A278308 is
placed in the standby mode by applying a CMOS high
signal to CE . When in the standby mode, the output are
in a high impedance state, independent of the OE .

Auto Identify Mode
The auto identify mode allows the reading out of a binary
code from a EPROM that will identify its manufacturer
and type. This mode is intended for use by programming
equipment for the purpose of automatically matching the
device to be programmed with its corresponding
programming algorithm.
To activate the mode, the programming equipment must
apply 12.0V ± 0.5V on address line A9 of the A278308.
Three identification code can be read from data output pin
by toggling A0 and A1. The other addresses must be held
at VIL during this mode. Byte 0 (with A0 at VIL, A1 at VIL)
represents the manufacturer code which is 37H. Byte 1
and Byte 2 represent the device code and continuation
code, which is 61H and 7FH respectively. All identifiers for
these codes will possess odd parity, with MSB (IO7)
defined the parity bit.
*Comments
Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum
Ratings" may cause permanent damage to this device.
These are stress ratings only. Functional operation of
this device at these or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operational sections of this specification
is not implied or intended. Exposure to the absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.
Notes:
1. During voltage transitions, the input may undershoot GND to -2.0V for periods less than 20 ns. Maximum DC voltage on
input and I/O may overshoot to VCC + 2.0V for periods less than 20 ns.
2. When transitions, A9 and VPP may undershoot GND to -2.0V for periods less than 20 ns. Maximum DC input voltage
on A9 and VPP is +13.5V which may overshoot to 14.0V for period less than 20 ns.

Programming and Program Verify
The programming flowchart is shown in Page 10.
The A278308 is shipped with all bits being set to "1".
Programming causes relevant bits to be changed to "0".
The programming mode is started by setting VCC to
+6.25V and VPP to +12.75V, while CE and PGM are at
VIL, and OE is at VIH. Data to be programmed can be
directly input in the 8 bit format through the data bus.
The write programming algorithm reduces programming
time by using 100µs pulse followed by a byte verification
to determine whether the byte has been successfully
programmed. If the data does not pass the verification,
an additional pulse programming is applied for a
maximum of 25 pulses. On completion of 1 byte
programming and, The verified address is incremented.
After the final address is completed, all bytes are verified
again with VCC = 5.0 Volt.
Program Inhibit
This mode is used to program one of multiple A278308
whose OE , PGM, VPP, VCC, address bus and data
bus are connected in parallel. When programming is
performed, other A278308 can be inhibited from being
programmed by setting their CE pins to VIH.
