GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am27C020 is a 2 Mbit, ultraviolet erasable program-
mable read-only memory. It is organized as 256K words
by 8 bits per word, operates from a single +5 V supply,
has a static standby mode, and features fast single ad-
dress location programming. Products are available in
windowed ceramic DIP packages, as well as plastic
one-time programmable (OTP) including TSOP, PLCC,
and PDIP.
controls, thus eliminating bus contention in a multiple
bus microprocessor system.
AMD’s CMOS process technology provides high speed,
low power, and high noise immunity. Typical power con-
sumption is only 100 mW in active mode, and 100 µW in
standby mode.
All signals are TTL levels, including programming sig-
nals. Bit locations may be programmed singly, in blocks,
or at random.The Am27C020 supports AMD’s Flashrite
programming algorithm (100 µs pulses) resulting in typ-
ical programming times of 32 seconds.
Typically, any byte can be accessed in less than 70 ns,
allowing operation with high-performance microproces-
sors without any WAIT states. The Am27C020 offers
separate Output Enable (OE) and Chip Enable (CE)
