The M27W256 is a low voltage 256 Kbit EPROM
offered in the two ranges UV (ultra violet erase)
and OTP (one time programmable). It is ideally
suited for microprocessor systems and is organized as 32,768 by 8 bits.
The M27W256 operates in the read mode with a
supply voltage as low as 3V. The decrease in operating power allows either a reduction of the size
of the battery or an increase in the time between
battery recharges.
The FDIP28W (windowceramic frit-seal package)
has a transparent lid which allows the user to expose thechipto ultraviolet light to erase thebit pattern. A new pattern can then be written to the
device by following the programming procedure.
For applications wherethe contentis programmed
only one time and erasure is not required, the
M27W256 is offered in PDIP28, PLCC32 and
TSOP28 (8 x13.4 mm) packages.

DEVICE OPERATION
The modesof operationoftheM27W256 are listed
in the Operating Modes. A single power supply is
required in the read mode. All inputs are TTL levels except for VPPand 12V on A9 for Electronic
Signature.
Read Mode
The M27W256 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 controland should
be used to gate data to the output pins, indepen-
4/15
dent of device selection. Assuming that the addresses are stable, the address access time
(t
) is equal to the delay from E to output
AVQV
(t
). Data is available at the output after delay
ELQV
of t
from the falling edge of G, assuming that
GLQV
E has been lowand the addresses havebeen stable forat least t
AVQV-tGLQV
.
Standby Mode
The M27W256 has a standby mode which reduces the supply current from 10mA to 10µA with low
voltage operation VCC≤ 3.6V, see Read ModeDC
Characteristics table for details. The M27W256 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, thisproduct features a 2 line control function whichaccommodates the use of multiple 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, Eshouldbe decoded and usedas the primary 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 controlbus. This ensures that all deselected memory devices are in their low powerstandby
mode andhat the output pins areonly activewhen
data is desired from a particular memory device.

System Considerations
The power switching characteristics of Advance
CMOS EPROMs requirecareful 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 transient current peaks that are produced by
the fallingand rising edges of E. Themagnitude of
this transient current peaks is dependent on the
capacitive and inductive loading of the device at
the output. The associatedtransient voltage peaks
can be suppressed by complying with the two line
outputcontrol and byproperly selected decoupling
capacitors.It isrecommended that a0.1µFceramic capacitorbe used on everydevice betweenV
CC
and VSS. This should be a high frequency capacitor of low inherent inductance and should be
placed as close to the device as possible. Inaddition, a 4.7µF bulk electrolytic capacitor should be
used between VCCand VSSfor every eight devices. The bulkcapacitor should be located near the
power supply connection point. The purposeof the
bulk capacitor is to overcome the voltage drop
caused bythe inductive effects of PCB traces.

Programming
The M27W256 hasbeen designedto be fully compatible with the M27C256B and has the same
electronic signature. Asa result theM27W256 can
be programmed as the M27C256B on the same
programming equipments applying 12.75V onV
PP
and 6.25V on VCCby the use of the same PRESTO II algorithm. When delivered (and after each
erasure for UV EPROM), all bits of the M27W256
are inthe ’1’ 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 present in thedata word. Theonly
way tochangea ’0’to a ’1’is bydie exposure toultraviolet light (UV EPROM). The M27W256 is in
the programming mode when VPPinput is at
12.75V, G is atVIHandE ispulsedto VIL. Thedata
to be programmed is appliedto 8 bits in parallel to
the data output pins. The levels required for the
address anddata inputs areTTL. VCCis specified
to be 6.25 V ± 0.25 V.

PROGRAMVERIFY
PRESTO II Programming Algorithm
PRESTO II Programming Algorithm allows to program the wholearray witha guaranteedmargin, in
a typical time of 3.5 seconds. Programming with
PRESTO IIinvolves the application of asequence
of 100µs program pulses to each byte until a cor-
rect verify occurs (see Figure 7). During programming and verify operation, a MARGIN MODE
circuit is automatically activated in order to guarantee that each cell is programmed with enough
margin. No overprogram pulse isapplied since the
verify in MARGIN MODEat VCCmuch higher than
3.6V provides necessary margin to each programmed cell.
Program Inhibit
Programming of multiple M27W256s in parallel
with different datais alsoeasily accomplished. Except for E, all likeinputs including Gof the parallel
M27W256 may becommon. ATTL low level pulse
applied to aM27W256’s E input, with VPPat12.75
V, will program that M27W256.A highlevelE input
inhibits the other M27W256s from being programmed.
Program Verify
AI00707D
A verify (read) should be performed on the programmed bitsto determinethat theywere correctly programmed.The verify is accomplished with G
at VIL, E at VIH,VPPat 12.75V and VCCat 6.25V.

On-Board Programming
The M27W256 can be directly programmed in the
application circuit. See the relevant Application
Note AN620.
Electronic Signature
The Electronic Signature (ES) mode allows the
reading out of a binary code from an EPROM that
will identify its manufacturer and type. This mode
is intended for use by programming equipment to
automatically matchthe device to be programmed
with its corresponding programming algorithm.
The ES mode is functional in the 25°C±5°C ambient temperaturerange that isrequired when programming the M27W256. To activate the ES
mode, the programming equipment must force
11.5V to 12.5V on address line A9 of the
M27W256, with VCC=VPP= 5V. Two identifier
bytes maythen be sequenced fromthedeviceoutputs bytoggling addressline A0 from VILtoVIH. All
other address lines must be held at VILduring
Electronic Signature mode. Byte 0 (A0 = VIL) represents the manufacturer code and byte 1 (A0 =
VIH)thedeviceidentifiercode.Forthe
STMicroelectronics M27W256,thesetwo identifier
bytes are given in Table 4 and can beread-out on
outputs Q7 to Q0. Note that the M27W256 and
M27C256B have the same identifier bytes.
ERASURE OPERATION (applies for UV EPROM)
The erasure characteristics of the M27W256 is
such that erasure begins when the cells are exposed to light with wavelengths shorter than approximately 4000 Å. It should be noted that
sunlight and some type of fluorescent lamps have
wavelengths in the 3000-4000Å range. Research
shows that constant exposure to room level fluorescent lighting coulderase a typical M27W256 in
about 3years, while it would takeapproximately 1
week to cause erasure when exposed to direct
sunlight. If theM27W256 is tobeexposed tothese
types of lighting conditions forextended periods of
time, it is suggestedthat opaque labels beput over
the M27W256 window to prevent unintentional
erasure. The recommendederasureprocedure for
the M27W256 is exposureto short wave ultraviolet
light whichhas wavelength 2537Å. The integrated
dose (i.e. UV intensityxexposure time) forerasure
should be a minimum of 15 W-sec/cm2. The erasure time with this dosage is approximately 15 to
20 minutes using an ultraviolet lamp with 12000
W/cm2power rating. The M27W256 should be
µ
placed within 2.5 cm (1 inch) of the lamp tubes
during the erasure. Some lamps have a filter on
their tubes which should be removed before erasure.
