Product details
Overview
CY62256LL-70SNXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (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/Os, automatic CE-controlled power-down (28 µW max standby), and three-state outputs for bus sharing-used in legacy industrial controllers, embedded instrumentation, and memory expansion modules where low-power SRAM persistence is required.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256LL-70SNXCT datasheet, CY62256LL-70SNXCT pinout, CY62256LL-70SNXCT application, or CY62256LL-70SNXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 70 ns read cycle timing, 28-lead narrow SOIC package compatibility, industrial-grade thermal performance, and direct replacement feasibility in 32K × 8 memory subsystems without logic-level translation.
Technical Context
The CY62256LL-70SNXCT implements a full CMOS 512 × 512 memory array with dual decoding (row/column), sense amplifiers, and input buffers enabling deterministic 70 ns tAA and tRC timing. Its CE/OE/WE control architecture supports asynchronous read/write with strict setup/hold requirements (e.g., tSD = 25–30 ns, tHA = 0 ns).
Power management relies on automatic CE-driven transition to ultra-low-isolation mode (ISB2 ≤ 5 µA at VCC = 5.5 V), while TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds (2.2 V / 0.8 V) ensure interoperability with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and address latches without level shifters.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K words × 8 bits - matches standard 8-bit data bus width without byte masking logic |
| Access Time (tAA) | 70 ns max - guarantees timing margin for 14.3 MHz bus clocking in synchronous systems |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with unregulated 5 V rails and tolerates ±10% supply variation |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 5 µA max at VCC = 5.5 V - enables >1-year battery-backed retention in low-power monitoring nodes |
| Output Drive | IOL = 2.1 mA, IOH = −1.0 mA - directly drives 74LS TTL inputs with 0.4 V VOL and 2.4 V VOH margins |
| Input Capacitance | 6 pF max - minimizes address/data bus loading for multi-device parallel memory configurations |
| Package | 28-pin narrow SOIC (450-mil width) - fits legacy PCB footprints and supports automated reflow assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin narrow SOIC (450-mil body width, 300-mil nominal 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 | Three-state CMOS I/O pins shared for read data output and write data input; high-impedance when OE or CE inactive |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary device select; triggers automatic 99.9% power-down when HIGH, isolating VCC current path |
| 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) | Asserted with CE LOW to initiate write; deasserted to enable read; no internal latching |
| VCC | Power Supply | +4.5 V to +5.5 V supply input; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin 28 |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ISB2 to ≤5 µA without external control logic-eliminates need for sleep-mode firmware overhead |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2 V min, VOL = 0.4 V max ensures direct interface with 74LS/74ALS families without level translators |
| 70 ns Read Cycle (tRC) | Guaranteed timing across –40°C to +85°C enables use in fanless industrial enclosures without derating |
| Three-State Output Control | Independent OE and CE assertion allows dynamic bus sharing with multiple peripherals on same data lines |
| Low Active Power | ICC = 50 mA max at 70 ns operation-supports sustained burst reads in thermally constrained embedded systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 32K × 8 SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS62C256AL-70QLI | Same 32K × 8 organization, 70 ns speed, but 2.7–5.5 V VCC range and 10 µA ISB2 (vs. 5 µA) | Supports single-supply 3.3 V systems; not qualified for industrial temp without derating | Choose for mixed-voltage designs needing wider VCC tolerance; verify thermal margin at +85°C |
| Renesas R1LV256AS-70SI | Identical 70 ns timing and 4.5–5.5 V range, but 28-pin TSOP-I package only (no SOIC option) | Requires PCB redesign for surface-mount density; lacks narrow SOIC footprint compatibility | Prefer when board space is constrained and TSOP layout already exists; avoid if SOIC footprint reuse is mandatory |
Compared with IS62C256AL-70QLI and R1LV256AS-70SI, the CY62256LL-70SNXCT uniquely combines industrial temperature qualification, narrow SOIC packaging, and sub-5 µA standby in a single 5 V-only part-making it optimal for drop-in replacement in legacy 5 V industrial hardware where footprint and thermal compliance are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is CY62256LL-70SNXCT compatible with 3.3 V systems?
No. The CY62256LL-70SNXCT requires 4.5–5.5 V VCC and is not 3.3 V tolerant. Its VIH minimum is 2.2 V, but internal circuitry is optimized for 5 V operation. Applying 3.3 V may result in undefined behavior, failed writes, or excessive ICC. Use ISSI IS62C256AL-70QLI for true 3.3 V compatibility.
Does this part retain data during power loss?
Yes-when VCC drops below 2.0 V while CE remains asserted HIGH, the device enters data retention mode with ICCDR ≤ 5 µA at 3.0 V. This enables battery-backed operation; however, external circuitry (e.g., diode-OR + coin cell) must maintain VCC ≥ 2.0 V during main power interruption to prevent data loss.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst reads?
The CY62256LL-70SNXCT does not use a clock; it is asynchronous. Maximum effective throughput is determined by tRC = 70 ns, yielding a theoretical limit of ~14.3 million reads per second. Real-world bus arbitration, address setup, and controller overhead reduce practical rates to ≤8–10 MHz sustained.
Can OE and WE be tied together for simplified control?
No. OE controls output driver enable/disable; WE controls read/write direction. Tying them violates timing requirements: OE must go LOW before WE for valid reads, and WE must go LOW before OE for writes. Independent control is mandatory per the switching waveforms in the datasheet (Pages 5–8).
