Additional Details
The AM27C010-200/BXA operates from a single 5V power supply and features CMOS technology for low power consumption. The device is programmed by applying a higher voltage to specific pins using an EPROM programmer. The EPROM's contents can be erased by exposing the die to ultraviolet (UV) light through a quartz window on the package. The 200ns access time enables relatively fast data retrieval. This memory device is typically found in applications requiring relatively large amounts of non-volatile storage, like storing firmware or boot code in embedded systems and storing lookup tables or configuration data.
