M27W800
On-Board Programming
The M27W800 can be directly programmed in the
application circuit. See the relevant Application
Note AN620.
Electronic Signature
The Electronic Signature (ES) mode allows the
reading out of a binary code from an EPROM that
will identify its manufacturer and type. This mode
is intended for use by programming equipment to
automatically match the device to be programmed
with its corresponding programming algorithm.
The ES mode is functional in the 25°C ± 5°C am-
bient temperature range that is required when pro-
gramming the M27W800. To activate the ES
mode, the programming equipment must force
11.5V to 12.5V on address line A9 of the
M27W800, with VPP = VCC = 5V. Two identifier
bytes may then be sequenced from the device out-
puts by toggling address line A0 from VIL to VIH. All
other address lines must be held at VIL during
Electronic Signature mode.
Byte 0 (A0 = VIL) represents the manufacturer
code and byte 1 (A0 = VIH) the device identifier
code. For the STMicroelectronics M27W800,
these two identifier bytes are given in Table 4 and
can be read-out on outputs Q7 to Q0. Note that the
M27W800 and M27C800 have the same identifier
bytes.
ERASURE OPERATION (applies to UV EPROM)
The erasure characteristics of the M27W800 is
such that erasure begins when the cells are ex-
posed to light with wavelengths shorter than ap-
proximately 4000 Å. It should be noted that
sunlight and some type of fluorescent lamps have
wavelengths in the 3000-4000 Å range. Research
shows that constant exposure to room level fluo-
rescent lighting could erase a typical M27W800 in
about 3 years, while it would take approximately 1
week to cause erasure when exposed to direct
sunlight. If the M27W800 is to be exposed to these
types of lighting conditions for extended periods of
time, it is suggested that opaque labels be put over
the M27W800 window to prevent unintentional
erasure. The recommended erasure procedure for
M27W800 is exposure to short wave ultraviolet
light which has a wavelength of 2537 Å. The inte-
grated dose (i.e. UV intensity x exposure time) for
erasure should be a minimum of 30 W-sec/cm2.
The erasure time with this dosage is approximate-
ly 30 to 410 minutes using an ultraviolet lamp with
12000 µW/cm2 power rating. The M27W800
should be placed within 2.5cm (1 inch) of the lamp
tubes during the erasure. Some lamps have a filter
on their tubes which should be removed before
erasure.
