Product details
Overview
CY62256LL-55ZXIT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) CMOS static RAM with 55 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 CY62256LL-55ZXIT datasheet, CY62256LL-55ZXIT pinout, CY62256LL-55ZXIT application, or CY62256LL-55ZXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 55 ns read cycle time, low 28 µW standby current at 85°C, CE/OE/WE control logic compatibility with 8-bit microcontrollers, and narrow SOIC-28 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY62256LL-55ZXIT implements a full CMOS 32K × 8 SRAM array with dual-decode architecture (512 × 512), supporting asynchronous random access via address pins A0–A14. Its CE/OE/WE control scheme enables seamless integration into 8-bit data bus systems without external latching.
Power management relies on automatic CE-driven power-down mode, reducing ICC to ≤28 µW when CE is HIGH - a feature validated across –40°C to +85°C with CMOS input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and 6 pF input capacitance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 Kbit (32K words × 8 bits) - supports full 8-bit parallel data interface without multiplexing |
| Access Time | 55 ns - guarantees timing margin for 12 MHz Z80 or 8051-based systems with no wait states |
| VCC 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, TA = 85°C) - enables battery-backed retention in industrial controllers |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications without derating |
| Package | 28-pin narrow SOIC (450-mil width, 300-mil body) - surface-mount compatible with IPC-7351B footprint |
| Output Drive | IOL = 2.1 mA / IOH = –1.0 mA - directly interfaces with 74LS/TTL inputs without pull-ups |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin narrow SOIC (450-mil width, 300-mil body), RoHS-compliant, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus (32K locations); driven by microcontroller address lines with <6 pF loading |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tri-state data path; high-impedance when CE=HIGH or OE=HIGH, enabling shared bus topology |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary device select; triggers automatic power-down when HIGH, reducing ICC to ≤28 µW |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls I/O direction: LOW → outputs enabled; HIGH → inputs or high-Z (read/write mode selection) |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Asserted LOW with CE LOW to initiate write; HIGH during read; controls data bus directionality |
| VCC | Power Supply | +4.5 V to +5.5 V supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of Pin 28 per layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; must be connected to solid ground plane adjacent to VCC pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces standby current to ≤28 µW at 85°C - eliminates need for external power gating in always-on nodes |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 2.1 mA - interoperable with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and peripheral ICs |
| Three-State Output Control | Independent OE and CE assertion enables multi-drop bus arbitration without external transceivers |
| Industrial Temperature Rating | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C - suitable for factory automation PLCs and motor drive controllers |
| Low Capacitance Interface | CIN = 6 pF, COUT = 8 pF - minimizes signal integrity degradation on 50 Ω trace layouts up to 20 MHz |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS62C256AL-55QLI | 55 ns access, 32K × 8, 5 V, industrial temp - but uses 28-pin TSOP-I (not SOIC) and has 50 µW standby current | Requires PCB footprint redesign; higher standby current limits battery life in portable designs | Select only if TSOP-I mounting is preferred and board area is constrained over thermal performance |
| AS6C4008-55TIN | 55 ns, 512K × 8 (larger density), 5 V, industrial temp - but requires 32-pin SOP and has 100 µW standby | Not pin-compatible; larger memory size unnecessary for 32K applications; higher leakage increases thermal load | Choose only when future-proofing for memory expansion beyond 256K is required and footprint change is acceptable |
Compared with IS62C256AL-55QLI and AS6C4008-55TIN, the CY62256LL-55ZXIT delivers the lowest standby power (28 µW) in a pin-compatible narrow SOIC package, making it optimal for thermally sensitive or battery-dependent industrial systems where footprint and power are co-constrained.

FAQ
Is CY62256LL-55ZXIT pin-compatible with the original CY62256-55ZI in DIP package?
Yes - the CY62256LL-55ZXIT uses the identical 28-pin SOIC pinout as defined in the datasheet for address (A0–A14), data (I/O0–I/O7), and control signals (CE, OE, WE, VCC, GND). No logic or timing changes are required when migrating from DIP to SOIC, though PCB layout must accommodate surface-mount soldering and thermal relief.
Does this SRAM retain data during VCC brown-out below 4.5 V?
Data retention is guaranteed down to VCC = 2.0 V per the datasheet's VDR specification. Below 4.5 V, the device remains functional until VCC drops to 2.0 V, after which it enters data retention mode with ICCDR ≤5 µA (LL version), preserving contents as long as VCC stays ≥2.0 V.
Can OE and WE be tied together for simplified control in microcontroller systems?
No - OE and WE serve distinct functions: OE controls output driver enable/disable (three-state), while WE determines read/write direction. Tying them violates timing requirements (tHZOE ≠ tHZWE) and risks bus contention. The datasheet mandates independent control for reliable operation across all temperature ranges.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst reads using this SRAM?
This is an asynchronous SRAM with no internal clock - it supports continuous read cycles at up to 18.2 MHz (1/55 ns), provided address setup/hold and CE/OE timing margins are met. Microcontroller GPIO timing must satisfy tAA = 55 ns, tOHA = 5 ns, and tHZOE = 25 ns to avoid read corruption.
