DESCRIPTION
The M27C160 is a 16 Mbit EPROM offered in the
two ranges UV (ultra violet erase) and OTP (one
time programmable). It is ideally suited for micro-
processor systems requiring large data or program
storage and is organised as either 2 Mbit words of
8 bit or 1 Mbit words of 16 bit. The pin-out is com-
patible with a 16 Mbit Mask ROM.
The FDIP42W (window ceramic frit-seal package)
has a transparent lid which allows the user to ex-
pose the chip to ultraviolet light to erase the bit pat-
tern. A new pattern can then be written rapidly to
the device by following the programming proce-
dure.
For applications where the content is programmed
only one time and erasure is not required, the
M27C160 is offered in PDIP42, SDIP42, PLCC44
and SO44 packages.

above those indicated in the Operating sections of this specification is not implied. Exposure to Absolute Maximum Rating condi-
tions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Refer also to the STMicroelectronics SURE Program and other relevant qual-
ity documents.

2. Minimum DC voltage on Input or Output is 0.5V with possible undershoot to 2.0V for a period less than 20ns. Maximum DC

voltage on Output is V

DEVICE OPERATION

The operating modes of the M27C160 are listed in
the Operating Modes Table. A single power supply
is required in the read mode. All inputs are TTL
compatible except for V

and 12V on A9 for the

Electronic Signature.
Read Mode
The M27C160 has two organisations, Word-wide
and Byte-wide. The organisation is selected by the
signal level on the BYTEV

pin. When BYTEV

is at V

the Word-wide organisation is selected

and the Q15A1 pin is used for Q15 Data Output.
When the BYTEV

pin is at V

the Byte-wide or-

ganisation is selected and the Q15A1 pin is used
for the Address Input A1. When the memory is
logically regarded as 16 bit wide, but read in the
Byte-wide organisation, then with A1 at V

the

lower 8 bits of the 16 bit data are selected and with
A1 at V

the upper 8 bits of the 16 bit data are

selected.
The M27C160 has two control functions, both of
which must be logically active in order to obtain
data at the outputs. In addition the Word-wide or
Byte- wide organisation must be selected.
Chip Enable (E) is the power control and should be
used for device selection. Output Enable (G) is the
output control and should be used to gate data to
the output pins independent of device selection.
Assuming that the addresses are stable, the ad-
dress access time (t

AVQV

) is equal to the delay

from E to output (t

ELQV

). Data is available at the

output after a delay of t

GLQV

from the falling edge

of G, assuming that E has been low and the ad-
dresses have been stable for at least t

AVQV

Standby Mode
The M27C160 has a standby mode which reduces
the active current from 50mA to 100µA. The
M27C160 is placed in the standby mode by apply-
ing a CMOS high signal to the E input. When in the
standby mode, the outputs are in a high imped-
ance state, independent of the G input.
Two Line Output Control
Because EPROMs are usually used in larger
memory arrays, this product features a 2 line con-
trol function which accommodates the use of mul-
tiple 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, E should be decoded and used as the prima-
ry 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 control bus. This ensures that all deselect-
ed memory devices are in their low power standby
mode and that the output pins are only active
when data is required from a particular memory
device.

System Considerations
The power switching characteristics of Advanced
CMOS EPROMs require careful decoupling of the
supplies to the devices. The supply current I

has three segments of importance to the system
designer: the standby current, the active current
and the transient peaks that are produced by the
falling and rising edges of E.
The magnitude of the transient current peaks is
dependent on the capacitive and inductive loading
of the device outputs. The associated transient
voltage peaks can be suppressed by complying
with the two line output control and by properly se-
lected decoupling capacitors. It is recommended
that a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor is used on every
device between V

and V

. This should be a

high frequency type of low inherent inductance
and should be placed as close as possible to the
device. In addition, a 4.7µF electrolytic capacitor
should be used between V

and V

for every

eight devices.
This capacitor should be mounted near the power
supply connection point. The purpose of this ca-
pacitor is to overcome the voltage drop caused by
the inductive effects of PCB traces.
