GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am27X256 is a factory programmed and tested OTP EPROM. It is programmed after packaging prior to final test. Every device is rigorously tested under AC and DC operating conditions to your stable code. It is organized as 32 Kwords by 8 bits per word and is available in plastic dual in-line packages (PDIP), as well as plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) packages. ExpressROM devices provide a board-ready memory solution for medium to high volume codes with short leadtimes. This offers manufacturers a cost-effective and flexible alternative to OTP EPROMs and mask programmed ROMs.
