2716 EPROM Memory Chips

EPROM stands for Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. It is a type of nonvolatile memory chip that retains stored data without power. EPROMs can be programmed using a dedicated programmer device and erased by exposing the chip's quartz window to ultraviolet (UV) light for a specified duration, typically 15–20 minutes, allowing the chip to be reprogrammed.

Yes. EPROMs are erased by exposing the transparent quartz window on top of the chip to ultraviolet (UV) light, typically at a wavelength of 253.7nm for 15–30 minutes. This process resets all memory cells to their unprogrammed state (all bits set to 1), after which the chip can be reprogrammed using an EPROM programmer.

LEVEL SOLUTIONS stocks 2716-compatible EPROM chips from leading manufacturers including Sharp Microelectronics, Hitachi, NEC, Fujitsu, SGS-Thomson, Seeq Technology, WaferScale Integration, and General Instrument. Both commercial and Mil-spec package types are available across all manufacturers, providing broad options for sourcing and legacy system replacement.

Yes. LEVEL SOLUTIONS offers 2716 EPROM chips in both commercial and military-specification (Mil-spec) package types from all major manufacturers. Mil-spec variants are compliant with stricter environmental and operational standards, making them suitable for defense, aerospace, and mission-critical industrial applications requiring enhanced reliability and temperature tolerance.

2716 EPROM chips are widely used for firmware and boot-code storage, embedded system program memory, microprocessor boot ROMs, lookup tables, configuration data storage, and legacy system code retention. They also serve development and prototyping workflows where reprogrammable nonvolatile memory is required. Both commercial and military-spec applications are supported.

2716 EPROM chips are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). LEVEL SOLUTIONS stores and ships all EPROM components from an ESD compliant warehouse using proper anti-static packaging and handling procedures. This ensures component integrity is preserved from storage through delivery, meeting industry standards for electronic component protection.
