Preliminary W27C4096
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Read Mode
Like conventional UVEPROMs, the W27C4096 has two control functions, both of which produce data
at the outputs. CE is for power control and chip select. OE controls the output buffer to gate data to
the output pins. When addresses are stable, the address access time (TACC) is equal to the delay
from CE to output (TCE), and data are available at the outputs TOE after the falling edge of OE, if
TACC and TCE timings are met.
Erase Mode
The erase operation is the only way to change data from "0" to "1." Unlike conventional UVEPROMs,
which use ultraviolet light to erase the contents of the entire chip (a procedure that requires up to half
an hour), the W27C4096 uses electrical erasure. Generally, the chip can be erased within 100 mS by
using an EPROM writer with a special erase algorithm.
Erase mode is entered when VPP is raised to VPE (14V), VCC = VCE (5V), CE low, OE high, A9 =
VPE (14V), A0 low, and all other address pins low and data input pins high.
Erase Verify Mode
After an erase operation, all of the words in the chip must be verified to check whether they have
been successfully erased to "1" or not. The erase verify mode automatically ensures a substantial
erase margin. This mode will be entered after the erase operation if VPP = VPE (14V), CE high, and
low.
Program Mode
Programming is performed exactly as it is in conventional UVEPROMs, and programming is the only
way to change cell data from "1" to "0." The program mode is entered when VPP is raised to VPP
(12V), VCC = VCP (5V), CE low, OE high, the address pins equal the desired address, and the input
pins equal the desired inputs.
Program Verify Mode
All of the words in the chip must be verified to check whether they have been successfully
programmed with the desired data or not. Hence, after each word is programmed, a program verify
operation should be performed. The program verify mode automatically ensures a substantial
program margin. This mode will be entered after the program operation if VPP = VPP (12V), CE high,
low and VCC = VCP (5V).
Erase/Program Inhibit
Erase or program inhibit mode allows parallel erasing or programming of multiple chips with different
data. When CE high , VPP = VPP/VPE (12V/14V), and VCC = 5V, erasing or programming of nontarget chips is inhibited, so that except for the CE and VPP, and VCC, the W27C4096 may have
common inputs.

Standby Mode
The standby mode significantly reduces VCC current. This mode is entered when CE high , VPP = 5V,
and VCC = 5V. In standby mode, all outputs are in a high impedance state, independent of OE.
Two-line Output Control
Since EPROMs are often used in large memory arrays, the W27C4096 provides two control inputs for
multiple memory connections. Two-line control provides for lowest possible memory power
dissipation and ensures that data bus contention will not occur.
System Considerations
EPROM power switching characteristics require careful device decoupling. System designers are
interested in three supply current issues: standby current levels (ISB), active current levels (ICC), and
transient current peaks produced by the falling and rising edges of CE. Transient current magnitudes
depend on the device output's capacitive and inductive loading. Two-line control and proper
decoupling capacitor selection will suppress transient voltage peaks. Each device should have a 0.1 µ
F ceramic capacitor connected between its VCC and GND. This high frequency, low inherentinductance capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the device. Additionally, for every eight
devices, a 4.7 µF electrolytic capacitor should be placed at the array's power supply connection
between VCC and GND. The bulk capacitor will overcome voltage slumps caused by PC board trace
inductances.
