Overview
The M27C512-15F6 is a 512 Kbit EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) produced by STMicroelectronics. This device is part of the M27C512 series, which is available in both UV (ultra violet erase) and OTP (one time programmable) versions. The M27C512-15F6 is specifically packaged in a FDIP28W (window ceramic frit-seal package), which features a transparent lid allowing for UV erasure of the chip. This EPROM is organized as 64K x 8 bits and is designed for applications requiring fast turn-around and pattern experimentation.
