Product details
Overview
CY62256NL-70PXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) CMOS static RAM with TTL-compatible I/O, 70 ns access time, 4.5–5.5 V operation, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features active-low CE/OE/WE controls, automatic power-down when deselected, and low standby current (≤5 μA in LL version), used in legacy industrial controllers and embedded memory expansion subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256NL-70PXC datasheet, CY62256NL-70PXC pinout, CY62256NL-70PXC application, or CY62256NL-70PXC equivalent, key selection criteria include access timing consistency across voltage/temperature, tristate I/O behavior under OE/CE control, data retention at 2.0 V, and compatibility with 28-pin PDIP footprint for through-hole board upgrades.
Technical Context
The CY62256NL-70PXC implements a full CMOS 32K × 8 SRAM array with dual-decode architecture (row/column), integrated sense amplifiers, and input buffers with ±0.5 V absolute maximum input voltage rating. Its automatic power-down mode activates when CE is HIGH, reducing ICC to ≤5 μA while retaining data at VCC ≥ 2.0 V.
Timing is defined by overlapping CE and WE assertions for write cycles, with tRC = 70 ns, tAA = 70 ns, and tHZOE = 25 ns (CL = 5 pF). Output drive capability is specified at IOH = –1.0 mA (VOH ≥ 2.4 V) and IOL = 2.1 mA (VOL ≤ 0.4 V), ensuring reliable interfacing with 5 V TTL logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K words × 8 bits - supports byte-wide data bus interface without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 70 ns max - guarantees read data validity within 70 ns after address stabilization at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V ±10% power rails and tolerant of transient droop |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | ≤5 μA max (CMOS inputs) - enables ultra-low-power retention during system sleep modes |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - maintains stored data with VCC as low as 2.0 V while CE is deasserted |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-compatible - accepts VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V; drives VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V into 1.0 mA/2.1 mA loads |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade environmental stress without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic DIP (600-mil width), through-hole mounting, JEDEC MS-001 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 to select one of 32K memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Lines | Tristate-capable pins serving as inputs during write, outputs during read, high-Z when OE or CE inactive |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary device selection signal; HIGH forces automatic power-down and high-Z I/O regardless of OE/WE state |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls I/O direction: LOW enables output drivers; HIGH places I/O in high-impedance input mode |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Determines operation mode: LOW with CE LOW initiates write; HIGH with CE/OE LOW enables read |
| VCC | Power Supply | +4.5 V to +5.5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor required near pin 28 for noise immunity |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Down Mode | Reduces ICC to ≤5 μA when CE is HIGH, eliminating need for external power-gating circuitry |
| Easy Memory Expansion Support | Dedicated CE and OE enable daisy-chained or parallel bank configurations without glue logic |
| Robust Data Retention | Maintains valid data at VCC = 2.0 V with ISB2 ≤5 μA, supporting battery-backed hold during main power loss |
| High Noise Immunity | Input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and 6 pF input capacitance minimize false triggering in noisy industrial environments |
| Pb-Free and RoHS Compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; available in both leaded and lead-free 28-pin PDIP variants |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-70PCN | Same 32K × 8 organization, 70 ns access, but uses 3.3 V core (3.0–3.6 V); higher standby current (10 μA) | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; unsuitable for direct drop-in replacement in legacy 5 V designs | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and redesigning power delivery |
| IS62C256AL-70QLI | 5 V tolerant, 70 ns, industrial temp, but higher ISB2 (15 μA) and no 2.0 V data retention spec | Lacks guaranteed data retention below 4.5 V; not suitable for battery-backed hold scenarios | Acceptable for cost-sensitive industrial control where full VCC range operation is assured |
Compared with AS6C4008-70PCN and IS62C256AL-70QLI, the CY62256NL-70PXC uniquely delivers 2.0 V data retention and ≤5 μA standby in a 5 V TTL-compatible package-critical for brownout resilience and legacy system compatibility.

FAQ
Is CY62256NL-70PXC compatible with 5 V TTL logic without level shifters?
Yes. The device has TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive strength (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –1.0 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 2.1 mA), enabling direct interface with standard 5 V TTL and CMOS logic families without translation circuitry.
What is the minimum VCC required to retain data when CE is HIGH?
Data retention is guaranteed down to VCC = 2.0 V when CE is HIGH and inputs are held at CMOS levels (VIN > VCC − 0.3 V or VIN < 0.3 V), with ISB2 ≤ 5 μA. This enables battery-backed operation during main power failure.
Does CY62256NL-70PXC support concurrent read/write operations?
No. It is a single-port SRAM: the same I/O pins serve both read and write functions, and operations are mutually exclusive. A write requires CE and WE LOW; a read requires CE and OE LOW with WE HIGH. No internal arbitration or dual-port capability exists.
Can CY62256NL-70PXC be used in place of CY62256N-70PC?
Yes, with identical pinout and AC/DC specifications. The "L" suffix denotes the low-power LL version (ISB2 ≤ 5 μA vs. ≤ 50 μA in non-L versions), making it a functional and drop-in upgrade for reduced standby consumption in existing designs.
