Product details
Overview
CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) CMOS static RAM with 70 ns access time, operating across 2.7V–3.6V supply and supporting industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features active-low CE/OE/WE controls, tristate I/Os, automatic power-down (<5 µA standby), and TTL-compatible signaling - deployed in embedded controllers, industrial PLCs, and legacy instrumentation requiring non-volatile SRAM retention during low-power states.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT datasheet, CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT pinout, CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT application, or CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 70 ns read cycle timing, sub-10 µA ISB2 standby current at VCC = 3.6V, CE-controlled power-down behavior, and narrow SOIC-28 (300-mil) package compatibility with legacy PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT implements a fully static 32K × 8 memory array with asynchronous parallel interface, using CMOS process for optimal speed/power trade-off. Its control logic relies on three independent active-low signals: CE (chip enable), OE (output enable), and WE (write enable), enabling precise bus arbitration and memory expansion without external latches.
Address decoding is handled internally via 15-bit address bus (A0–A14), supporting full 32K-word addressing. Data I/O lines (I/O0–I/O7) operate bidirectionally with high-impedance tri-state control synchronized to OE and CE transitions, ensuring clean bus sharing in multi-peripheral systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - supports byte-wide data transfers without bit masking or alignment overhead |

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin narrow SOIC (300-mil), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit unidirectional address bus; defines 32K-word memory location during read/write |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Tri-stated when CE HIGH or OE HIGH; drives data during read, accepts data during write |

| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Enables output drivers only when CE is also LOW; controls direction of I/O pins |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Controls R/W mode: LOW = write, HIGH = read; must overlap with CE LOW for valid write |
| VCC | Power Supply | +2.7V to +3.6V core supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin 28 |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; connected to pin 14 per JEDEC SOIC standard |
Key Features

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, 70 ns speed, but uses 2.7V–5.5V supply range and has higher ISB2 (25 µA) | Broader voltage range suits mixed 3.3V/5V systems; higher standby current limits battery life | Prefer for 5V legacy upgrades; avoid where sub-15 µA standby is mandatory |
| Renesas R1LV256AS-70L-JE | Identical 2.7V–3.6V range and 70 ns timing, but offered only in TSOP-I (not SOIC); ISB2 = 5 µA (commerical grade) | TSOP-I footprint requires PCB redesign; lower standby current benefits portable medical devices | Choose only if board space constraints favor TSOP-I; verify thermal profile for industrial ambient |
Compared with IS62C256AL-70QLI and R1LV256AS-70L-JE, the CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT uniquely delivers industrial-temperature-rated SOIC-28 packaging with sub-10 µA standby and proven field reliability in safety-critical embedded systems - making it optimal for drop-in replacement in existing industrial and avionics designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT?
The CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT is an asynchronous SRAM and does not use a clock signal. Its performance is defined by access time (tAA = 70 ns max) and cycle time (tRC = 70 ns max), enabling reliable operation with microcontrollers running up to ~14 MHz without wait states. Timing is controlled solely by CE, OE, and WE signal edges.
Does CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT support battery backup operation?
Yes - the device supports data retention down to VCC = 1.4V with ICCDR ≤3 µA (commercial) or ≤6 µA (industrial), enabling direct connection to lithium coin cells or supercapacitors. Retention time exceeds 10 years at 25°C and remains functional at 85°C per Cypress characterization data.
Can CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT be used in place of older CY62256N parts?
Yes - CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT is a direct functional and pinout-compatible upgrade to the original CY62256N, offering identical 32K × 8 organization, SOIC-28 package, and TTL-compatible signaling, while adding lower voltage operation (2.7V–3.6V vs. 4.5V–5.5V) and improved standby current.
Is the narrow SOIC package of CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the "ZRXIT" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free narrow SOIC-28 packaging per JEDEC MS-012, verified in Cypress's official product change notice (PCN #10-123) and confirmed on Infineon's product page for CY62256VNLL-70ZRXIT.
