Product details
Overview
CY62256NLL-55ZXE from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 256-Kbit (32 K × 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 (82.5 µW max standby), and tristate outputs for memory expansion in embedded controllers and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256NLL-55ZXE datasheet, CY62256NLL-55ZXE pinout, CY62256NLL-55ZXE application, or CY62256NLL-55ZXE equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 55 ns read cycle time, low 0.1 µA CMOS standby current (ISB2), dual active-low CE/OE control, and 28-pin TSOP I package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The CY62256NLL-55ZXE implements a full CMOS 32K × 8 SRAM array with synchronous address decoding, sense amplifiers, and tristate I/O buffers. Its architecture supports seamless memory expansion via dedicated CE, OE, and WE control lines, enabling multi-chip configurations without external logic.
It delivers deterministic timing: tRC = 55 ns, tAA = 55 ns, tDOE = 25 ns, and tPD = 55 ns - all specified over –40 °C to +85 °C at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. Power-down activation requires only CE ≥ VIH with CMOS-level inputs, achieving ISB2 ≤ 10 µA in industrial grade.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32 K × 8) - supports byte-wide data bus interfaces without multiplexing |
| Access time | 55 ns - enables direct interface with 12–15 MHz microcontrollers without wait states |
| Voltage range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS system rails |
| Standby current | 0.1 µA typical / 10 µA max (ISB2, CMOS inputs) - enables battery-backed retention in low-power modes |
| Operating temp | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial control, motor drives, and factory automation |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP I (0.400" wide) - surface-mount footprint with 0.050" lead pitch, JEDEC MO-141 compliant |
| Power dissipation | 275 mW max active (ICC = 50 mA @ 5.5 V) - thermally manageable on standard 4-layer PCBs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP I (Thin Small Outline Package), 0.400" body width, 0.050" lead pitch, JEDEC MO-141 compliant. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; leads on two sides, gull-wing profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address input | 15-bit address bus (32 K locations); driven by MCU address lines A0–A14 |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional data bus | 8-bit tristate I/O; functions as input during write, output during read, high-Z when deselected |
| CE | Chip enable (active LOW) | Primary chip select; enables internal circuitry and determines power-down state |
| OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Controls I/O direction: LOW → outputs enabled; HIGH → I/O tristated (input mode) |
| WE | Write enable (active LOW) | Controls R/W direction: LOW + CE LOW → write; HIGH + CE LOW → read |
| VCC | Power supply | +4.5 V to +5.5 V; decoupling capacitor required at pin 28 per layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power ground return; connected to PCB ground plane at pin 14 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to ≤10 µA when CE is HIGH, eliminating need for external sleep control logic |
| TTL-compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - interoperable with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Tristate output drivers | Guaranteed high-Z state (IOZ ≤ ±0.5 µA) when OE or CE is HIGH - prevents bus contention in multi-SRAM systems |
| Low capacitance I/O | CIN = 6 pF, COUT = 8 pF - minimizes signal loading and timing skew on shared data/address buses |
| Pb-free and RoHS-compliant | Meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU; available in both Pb-free and standard SnPb finish options |
Applications
| Industrial PLC I/O Modules | Automotive Engine Control Units |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Buffering sensor data and actuator command history in real-time programmable logic controller modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Byte-accessible scratchpad memory for cyclic data logging and firmware variable storage. Use Value: 55 ns access ensures deterministic response within 10 ms scan cycles; low ISB2 enables safe retention during brown-out events. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local memory for FPGA-based front-end processing and display refresh buffers. Use Value: Tristate I/O and CE/OE separation allow clean integration with Xilinx Spartan-6 or Intel MAX 10 FPGA I/O banks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS62C256AL-55QLI | Same 32K × 8 organization, 55 ns speed, but 2.7–5.5 V VCC range and 100 µA ISB2 (max) | Supports mixed-voltage systems (3.3 V/5 V), but higher standby current limits battery-backed use | Select when dual-voltage operation or wider VCC tolerance is required; verify OE/WE timing margins |
| ON Semiconductor MC68HC11E9CP | Not a drop-in replacement: integrated MCU with 512 B on-chip RAM; no external 256 Kbit SRAM function | Replaces discrete SRAM + controller in simple embedded systems, not memory expansion | Only consider for complete architecture redesign - not a functional substitute for CY62256NLL-55ZXE |
Compared with IS62C256AL-55QLI, CY62256NLL-55ZXE offers lower standby power (10 µA vs. 100 µA) and tighter industrial temp qualification; versus MC68HC11E9CP, it provides dedicated, expandable memory bandwidth without CPU overhead or architectural constraints.

FAQ
Is CY62256NLL-55ZXE pin-compatible with CY62256NLL-70ZXE?
Yes - both share identical 28-pin TSOP I pinout, address/data/control signal mapping, and DC electrical characteristics. The only difference is guaranteed access time: 55 ns vs. 70 ns. Systems designed for 55 ns will operate reliably with the -70 variant, but not vice versa in timing-critical paths.
Does CY62256NLL-55ZXE support battery backup operation?
Yes - with VCC reduced to 2.0 V (minimum data retention voltage), the device retains data while drawing ≤5 µA (ISB2 max) in CE-high power-down mode. External diode-or circuitry is required to switch between main supply and backup battery without backfeed.
What is the maximum clock frequency this SRAM can interface with?
It does not use a clock - CY62256NLL-55ZXE is asynchronous. Its 55 ns read cycle time supports direct connection to microcontrollers running up to ~12 MHz bus frequency (e.g., 8051, HC11, or early ARM7 derivatives) without wait-state insertion.
Can CY62256NLL-55ZXE be used in new designs given Cypress's integration into Infineon?
Yes - Infineon explicitly confirms continuity of ordering part numbers and technical documentation. CY62256NLL-55ZXE remains an active, supported product with published lifetime buy guidance and no announced obsolescence date as of Q2 2024.
