FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Read Mode
Like conventional UVEPROMs, the W27C257 has two control functions, both of which produce data at the outputs.
CE is for power control and chip select. OE controls the output buffer to gate data to the output pins. When addresses are stable, the address access time (T ACC) is equal to the delay from CE to output (T CE), and data are available at the outputs T OE after the falling edge of OE, if T ACC and T CE timings are met.
Erase Mode
The erase operation is the only way to change data from "0" to "1." Unlike conventional UVEPROMs, which use ultraviolet light to erase the contents of the entire chip (a procedure that requires up to half an hour), the W27C257 uses electrical erasure. Generally, the chip can be erased within 100 mS by using an EPROM writer with a special erase algorithm.
Erase mode is entered when V PP is raised to V PE (14V), V CC = V CE (5V), OE = V IH (2V or above but lower than V CC), A9 = V HH (14V), A0 = V IL (0.8V or below but higher than GND), and all other address pins equal V IL and data input pins equal V IH. Pulsing CE low starts the erase operation. Erase Verify Mode
After an erase operation, all of the bytes in the chip must be verified to check whether they have been successfully erased to "1" or not. The erase verify mode automatically ensures a substantial erase margin. This mode will be entered after the erase operation if V PP = V PE (14V), CE = V IH, and OE = V IL.
Program Mode
Programming is performed exactly as it is in conventional UVEPROMs, and programming is the only way to change cell data from "1" to "0." The program mode is entered when V PP is raised to V PP (12V), V CC = V CP (5V), OE = V IH, the address pins equal the desired address, and the input pins equal the desired inputs. Pulsing CE low starts the programming operation.
Program Verify Mode
All of the bytes in the chip must be verified to check whether or not they have been successfully programmed with the desired data. Hence, after each byte is programmed, a program verify operation should be performed. The program verify mode automatically ensures a substantial program margin. This mode will be entered after the program operation if V PP = V PP (12V), CE = V IH, IL.
Erase/Program Inhibit
Erase or program inhibit mode allows parallel erasing or programming of multiple chips with different data. When CE = V IH, erasing or programming of non-target chips is inhibited, so that except for the CE and OE pins, the W27C257 may have common inputs.

Standby Mode
The standby mode significantly reduces V CC current. This mode is entered when CE = V IH . In standby mode, all outputs are in a high impedance state, independent of OE.
Two-line Output Control
Since EPROMs are often used in large memory arrays, the W27C257 provides two control inputs for multiple memory connections. Two-line control provides for lowest possible memory power dissipation and ensures that data bus contention will not occur.
System Considerations
EPROM power switching characteristics require careful device decoupling. System designers are interested in three supply current issues: standby current levels (I SB ), active current levels (I CC ), and transient current peaks produced by the falling and rising edges of CE. Transient current magnitudes depend on the device output's capacitive and inductive loading. Two-line control and proper decoupling capacitor selection will suppress transient voltage peaks. Each device should have a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor connected between its V CC and GND. This high frequency, low inherent-inductance capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the device. Additionally, for every eight devices, a 4.7 μF electrolytic capacitor should be placed at the array's power supply connection between V CC and GND. The bulk capacitor will overcome voltage slumps caused by PC board trace inductances.
