Product details
Overview
CY62256L-70PC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Kbit (32K × 8) CMOS static RAM with 70 ns access time, 4.5–5.5 V operation, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features TTL-compatible I/O, automatic CE-controlled power-down (28 µW max standby), and three-state outputs for bus sharing in embedded microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256L-70PC datasheet, CY62256L-70PC pinout, CY62256L-70PC application, or CY62256L-70PC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 70 ns read cycle time, low 28 µW standby current, 28-pin narrow SOIC package, and compatibility with legacy 8-bit data buses requiring deterministic timing and zero-refresh operation.
Technical Context
The CY62256L-70PC implements a full CMOS 32K × 8 SRAM array with dual-decode architecture (512 × 512), integrated sense amplifiers, and input/output buffers with TTL-level thresholds. Its CE/OE/WE control logic enables seamless memory expansion without external gating.
Power management relies on automatic CE-driven power-down mode, reducing ICC to ≤28 µW when CE is HIGH - independent of OE or WE state. All inputs meet VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5 V, ensuring robust noise margin in mixed-signal environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 Kbit (32,768 × 8 bits) - supports byte-wide addressing without multiplexing or bank switching |
| Access Time | 70 ns max - guarantees deterministic read latency for real-time firmware execution |
| Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy power supplies |
| Standby Current | 28 µW max (at VCC = 5.5 V, TA = 85°C) - enables ultra-low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, motor drives, and factory automation environments |
| Package | 28-pin narrow SOIC (450-mil width) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351 footprints |
| Output Drive | IOL = 2.1 mA / IOH = –1.0 mA - directly interfaces with 74LS/TTL loads without level-shifting or buffering |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin narrow SOIC (450-mil body width, JEDEC MS-012AC), RoHS-compliant lead-free option available.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 to select one of 32K memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when CE HIGH or OE HIGH during read/write |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary device select; triggers automatic power-down when deasserted, reducing ICC to µW range |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls I/O direction: LOW enables output drivers; HIGH places pins in high-Z for bus arbitration |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Determines operation mode: LOW initiates write; HIGH enables read (with CE and OE active) |
| VCC | Power Supply | +4.5 V to +5.5 V supply input; decoupling required within 10 mm of Pin 28 per layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return plane connection; must be low-inductance and tied to system ground at single point |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces standby current to ≤28 µW without external control logic or sleep-mode software overhead |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Meets VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 2.1 mA - eliminates need for level translators in 5 V systems |
| Three-State Output Control | Independent OE and CE assertion enables multi-device bus sharing with no contention risk |
| Zero-Refresh Operation | Static RAM architecture requires no refresh cycles - simplifies timing-critical firmware and reduces CPU load |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | Validated across –40°C to +85°C with full AC/DC specs - suitable for uncontrolled enclosure deployments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS62C256AL-70QLI | 70 ns access, same 32K × 8 organization, but 2.7–5.5 V wide VCC range and higher ISB (100 µA typical) | Supports mixed-voltage systems (3.3 V/5 V), but lacks guaranteed industrial temp performance at 5 V | Select when voltage flexibility outweighs ultra-low standby power and industrial qualification |
| AS6C4008-70SCN | 70 ns access, 512K × 8 density, 4.5–5.5 V, but 100 µA ISB and only commercial temp (0°C to 70°C) | Higher density for future-proofing, but not qualified for industrial thermal cycling or long-term reliability at 85°C | Select only for cost-sensitive commercial designs where extended temperature range is unnecessary |
Compared with IS62C256AL-70QLI and AS6C4008-70SCN, the CY62256L-70PC delivers superior industrial reliability, lowest standby power (28 µW vs. ≥100 µW), and proven 85°C operation - making it optimal for mission-critical embedded systems where thermal stability and power predictability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is CY62256L-70PC functionally identical to CY62256-70PC?
Yes - both share identical 32K × 8 organization, 70 ns access time, and pinout. The "L" suffix denotes the low-power industrial-grade variant with reduced standby current (28 µW vs. 5 mW for standard version) and extended temperature qualification (–40°C to +85°C).
Can CY62256L-70PC operate at 3.3 V?
No - it is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Attempting 3.3 V supply violates absolute maximum ratings and will result in undefined behavior, data corruption, or failure to meet AC timing specifications.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for bus interfacing?
This is an asynchronous SRAM - it has no clock input. Maximum interface speed is governed by tRC = 70 ns, permitting up to ~14.3 MHz sustained random access on an 8-bit bus with proper CE/OE setup/hold timing.
Does CY62256L-70PC require external pull-up resistors on I/O lines?
No - its outputs are actively driven (not open-drain), and inputs meet TTL thresholds without external biasing. Pull-ups are unnecessary unless used for specific bus arbitration schemes outside standard read/write protocols.
