Product details
Overview
CY62256L-70SNXI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Kbit (32K × 8) CMOS static RAM with 70 ns access time, 4.5–5.5 V operation, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and low standby power (28 µW max). It serves as non-volatile cache or buffer memory in legacy industrial controllers, PLC I/O modules, and embedded instrumentation where deterministic timing and TTL-compatible interfacing are required.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256L-70SNXI datasheet, CY62256L-70SNXI pinout, CY62256L-70SNXI application, or CY62256L-70SNXI equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 70 ns read cycle time under industrial temperature, automatic CE-controlled power-down, and compatibility with 28-pin narrow SOIC footprint for board-level replacement of legacy SRAMs.
Technical Context
The CY62256L-70SNXI implements a full CMOS 32K × 8 asynchronous SRAM architecture with three-state bidirectional I/Os, active-low chip enable (CE), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls. Its internal array is organized as a 512 × 512 memory cell matrix with separate row/column decoders and sense amplifiers.
It supports true dual-cycle operation: read cycles require CE and OE low with WE high; write cycles require CE and WE low while OE may be high or low. Power-down is fully automatic upon CE high, reducing ICC to ≤28 µW without external control logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 Kbit (32,768 × 8 bits) - supports byte-wide data bus interfaces without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time | 70 ns max - guarantees deterministic read latency for 14.3 MHz bus clock systems |
| Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails and tolerant of ±10% supply variation |
| Standby Current | 28 µW max at VCC = 5.5 V - enables ultra-low-power sleep mode in battery-backed systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and motor drives |
| Package | 28-pin narrow SOIC (450-mil width) - surface-mount compatible with legacy PCB footprints and reflow profiles |
| Input/Output | TTL-compatible I/O levels - eliminates level-shifting requirements when interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin narrow SOIC (450-mil body width, 300-mil package width), RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | 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 shared input/output lines; high-impedance when CE or OE is inactive |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary device selection signal; triggers automatic power-down when HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls I/O direction: LOW enables output drivers, HIGH places I/Os in high-Z state |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Controls R/W mode: LOW enables write, HIGH enables read (with CE and OE asserted) |
| VCC | Power Supply | +4.5 V to +5.5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance PCB plane |

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 uses 28-pin SOJ package and has higher ISB (100 µW) | SOJ footprint incompatible with CY62256L-70SNXI's narrow SOIC; requires PCB redesign | Select only if SOJ mounting is already standardized in existing assembly process |
| AS6C4008-70TIN | 70 ns access, 512K × 8 density (larger), 2.7–5.5 V supply, but no industrial temp grade (0°C to +70°C only) | Lacks –40°C qualification-unsuitable for cold-environment industrial deployments | Consider only for commercial-temperature upgrades where higher density is needed and thermal margin exists |
Compared with IS62C256AL-70QLI and AS6C4008-70TIN, the CY62256L-70SNXI uniquely delivers industrial temperature rating, narrow SOIC compatibility, and sub-30 µW standby power in a single package-making it the only drop-in replacement for legacy 5 V SRAM designs requiring field reliability.

FAQ
Is CY62256L-70SNXI compatible with 5 V TTL logic families?
Yes. All inputs accept VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V; outputs drive VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –1 mA and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 2.1 mA-fully compliant with standard 5 V TTL voltage thresholds and fan-out requirements.
Does this SRAM retain data during power loss?
No. CY62256L-70SNXI is volatile memory and requires continuous VCC to retain data. For data retention during power loss, an external battery-backed power supply or supercapacitor circuit must be implemented on the VCC rail.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for read/write cycles?
The device does not use a clock. It is asynchronous: maximum sustained bus throughput is determined by tRC = 70 ns, enabling up to ~14.3 million read/write operations per second in ideal conditions with no bus turnaround delays.
Can CY62256L-70SNXI be used in place of CY62256-70SNXI?
Yes, with identical pinout and AC/DC specifications. The "L" suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C); the base CY62256-70SNXI is commercial grade (0°C to +70°C) and shares all electrical parameters except thermal qualification.
