Product details
Overview
CY62256LL-70SNXI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (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 ultra-low standby power (28 µW max). It serves as non-volatile data buffer or working memory in legacy industrial controllers, instrumentation front-ends, and embedded systems requiring deterministic timing and zero-refresh operation.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256LL-70SNXI datasheet, CY62256LL-70SNXI pinout, CY62256LL-70SNXI application, or CY62256LL-70SNXI equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible I/O drive, automatic CE-controlled power-down, three-state output enable, and narrow SOIC-28 packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY62256LL-70SNXI implements a fully static 32K × 8 memory array with separate active-low chip enable (CE), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls - enabling seamless memory expansion without external address latching. Its CMOS architecture delivers deterministic read/write timing with no refresh cycles required.
All address (A0–A14) and data (I/O0–I/O7) signals are TTL-compatible, and the device enters automatic power-down mode when CE is HIGH, reducing ICC to ≤0.5 µA under CMOS input conditions. Output drivers support high-impedance tri-state control via OE, allowing direct bus sharing with other peripherals.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K words × 8 bits = 256 Kbit; supports byte-wide parallel data access without multiplexing. |
| Access Time | 70 ns max; guarantees worst-case read latency for synchronous system timing budgets. |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V TTL logic rails and tolerant of ±10% supply variation. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 5 µA max at VCC = 5.5 V, TA = 85°C; enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems. |
| Operating Current (ICC) | 50 mA max at fMAX = 14.3 MHz; defines peak dynamic power draw during continuous read/write cycling. |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-level VIH/VIL thresholds (2.2 V / 0.8 V); ensures interoperability with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| Package | 28-pin narrow SOIC (450-mil width, 300-mil body); surface-mount footprint with industry-standard pin pitch (1.27 mm). |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin narrow SOIC (JEDEC MS-012AC), 450-mil width, 300-mil body, gull-wing leads, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus; selects one of 32,768 memory locations for read/write access. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit shared data path; functions as input during write, output during read, high-Z when OE or CE inactive. |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Global select signal; disables all internal circuitry and triggers automatic power-down when HIGH. |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls I/O driver direction; enables output drivers only when CE is LOW and OE is LOW. |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Determines operation mode: LOW = write, HIGH = read; must be coordinated with CE and OE timing. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for stable 70 ns switching. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces ISB2 to ≤5 µA when CE is deasserted, eliminating need for external power-gating logic. |
| Three-State Output Control | OE-driven high-impedance outputs allow direct connection to shared data buses without external bus transceivers. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 4.5 V; interfaces directly with 5 V MCUs and PLDs. |
| Zero-Refresh Static Architecture | Eliminates DRAM refresh overhead and timing constraints; suitable for real-time deterministic systems. |
| Industrial Temperature Support | Rated for –40°C to +85°C operation; validated across full VCC range and AC timing specs at temperature extremes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS62C256AL-70QLI | Same 32K × 8 organization and 70 ns speed, but uses 2.7–5.5 V supply and has higher ISB (10 µA max). | Broader VCC range suits mixed-voltage designs; less suitable for strict 5 V-only legacy systems. | Select if migrating to wider supply tolerance or dual-voltage boards; verify OE/WE timing compatibility. |
| ON Semiconductor MCM62C256EJ-70 | Identical pinout and 5 V operation, but rated only for commercial temperature (0°C to 70°C) and higher ICC (65 mA max). | Lacks industrial temp support; unsuitable for extended ambient or thermally unregulated enclosures. | Acceptable only for cost-sensitive commercial equipment with controlled lab environments. |
Compared with IS62C256AL-70QLI and MCM62C256EJ-70, the CY62256LL-70SNXI offers superior industrial temperature compliance, lower standby power, and tighter ICC specification - making it the preferred choice for mission-critical embedded systems where thermal resilience and power predictability are design requirements.

FAQ
Is CY62256LL-70SNXI compatible with older CY62256-70PC versions?
Yes - CY62256LL-70SNXI shares identical pinout, timing, and electrical specifications with CY62256-70PC, except for its industrial temperature rating (–40°C to +85°C vs. 0°C to +70°C) and lower standby current (5 µA vs. 2 mA). No PCB or firmware changes are required for drop-in replacement in thermally demanding environments.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst read/write operations?
The CY62256LL-70SNXI does not use a clock; it is asynchronous. Its maximum operational frequency is determined by tRC = 70 ns, supporting up to 14.3 MHz sustained random access. For back-to-back reads, minimum cycle time is strictly governed by tRC, tACE, and tDOE parameters - no external clock signal is involved.
Can this SRAM retain data during brief power loss using a capacitor hold-up circuit?
Yes - with VCC held above 2.0 V (VDR), the device maintains data retention with ICCDR ≤ 5 µA. A 100 µF tantalum capacitor charged to 5 V can sustain VCC > 2.0 V for ~1.2 seconds under worst-case ISB2 loading, sufficient for graceful shutdown or battery switchover in most embedded applications.
Does the narrow SOIC package support reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - the CY62256LL-70SNXI in narrow SOIC-28 (SN) package is qualified for lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020D, with peak temperature rating of 260°C for 30 seconds. Recommended profile includes ramp rate ≤3°C/s, soak at 150–200°C for 60–120 s, and time above liquidus (217°C) of 60–90 s.
