The AM27128A-20/BXA is a high-speed 128K-bit (16K x 8) Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) manufactured by AMD. It is designed for applications requiring non-volatile storage of firmware, software, or data. The '20' in the part number indicates an access time of 200ns.

Applications

• Firmware Storage in Embedded Systems
• Program Storage in Microcontroller-Based Applications
• Lookup Tables
• Character Generators
• Data Storage in Industrial Equipment

Features

• 128K-bit (16K x 8) EPROM
• Fast access time: 200ns
• Single 5V power supply
• TTL compatible inputs and outputs
• Programmable using standard EPROM programmers

Benefits

• Non-volatile storage ensures data retention when power is off
• Fast access time allows for quick retrieval of stored data
• Easy to program using standard EPROM programmers
• TTL compatibility simplifies interfacing with other digital circuits
• Suitable for a wide range of embedded applications requiring non-volatile memory

Additional Details

The AM27128A-20/BXA requires a single 5V power supply for operation. The device is programmed by applying a higher voltage to specific pins using an EPROM programmer. The contents of the EPROM can be erased by exposing the die to ultraviolet (UV) light through a quartz window on the package. The AM27128A is often found in older embedded systems, industrial control equipment, and other applications where non-volatile memory is required. The 200ns access time makes it suitable for systems with moderate speed requirements.
