Product details
Overview
CY62256VNLL-70ZXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256-Kbit (32 K × 8) CMOS static RAM with 70 ns access time, 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply range, and industrial temperature rating (–40 °C to +85 °C), housed in a Pb-free 28-pin narrow SOIC package. It supports TTL-compatible I/O, automatic CE-controlled power-down (<5 µA standby), and tristate bidirectional data bus for embedded microcontroller memory expansion.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256VNLL-70ZXC datasheet, CY62256VNLL-70ZXC pinout, CY62256VNLL-70ZXC application, or CY62256VNLL-70ZXC equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 70 ns read cycle timing, low-voltage operation down to 2.7 V, industrial-grade thermal performance, and compatibility with legacy 32K×8 SRAM-based address/data bus architectures.
Technical Context
The CY62256VNLL-70ZXC implements a fully static 32 K × 8 memory array with asynchronous parallel interface, using CMOS technology for optimal speed-power trade-off. Its dual active-Low control signals-CE (chip enable) and OE (output enable)-enable precise memory banking and output gating without external logic.
Write operations are controlled by WE (write enable) in conjunction with CE, while data retention is maintained at VCC ≥ 1.4 V with ICCDR ≤ 6 µA (industrial grade). The device features automatic power-down when CE is deasserted, reducing standby current to ≤5 µA under CMOS input conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32 K words × 8 bits); supports byte-wide data bus interfacing with 15-bit address space (A0–A14). |
| Access time | 70 ns max tAA and tACE; ensures compatibility with 14 MHz bus clocks in synchronous systems. |
| VCC range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V; enables direct interface with 3.3 V logic families and mixed-voltage system designs. |
| Standby current | ≤5 µA (ISB2, industrial temp); allows battery-backed operation in low-power hold modes. |
| Data retention voltage | ≥1.4 V (VDR); permits extended retention during brown-out or backup-supply scenarios. |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for industrial control, instrumentation, and automotive body electronics. |
| Package | 28-pin narrow SOIC (300-mil); compatible with standard PCB assembly processes and legacy footprint layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin narrow SOIC (300-mil), Pb-free, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit unidirectional address bus; selects one of 32,768 memory locations. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional data bus | Tristate-capable 8-bit data path; 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 (ISB2 = 5 µA when HIGH). |
| OE | Output enable (active LOW) | Controls I/O direction: LOW → outputs enabled; HIGH → I/O pins tristated (input mode or high-Z). |
| WE | Write enable (active LOW) | Controls memory operation mode: LOW with CE LOW → write; HIGH with CE LOW → read. |
| VCC | Power supply | 2.7 V–3.6 V core supply; powers all internal logic and array circuits. |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power return path; must be low-impedance for stable timing and noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to ≤5 µA (industrial) when CE is HIGH, eliminating need for external power-gating logic. |
| TTL-compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max; interoperates directly with 5 V-tolerant or 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Low-voltage operation | Functional down to 2.7 V VCC; supports single-supply 3.3 V systems and battery-powered retention modes. |
| 70 ns read/write timing | tRC = 70 ns, tWC = 70 ns; meets timing budgets for 14 MHz bus interfaces and legacy 8/16-bit MCU designs. |
| CMOS process architecture | Combines low static power (ICC = 11–30 mA active) with fast switching; eliminates refresh circuitry required in DRAM. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Automotive Body Control Module |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Storing real-time sensor calibration tables and I/O state history in programmable logic controllers operating in harsh factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Byte-addressable non-refreshing memory buffer interfaced to ARM Cortex-M4 or Renesas RX65N via parallel bus. Use Value: 70 ns access time ensures deterministic response within 100 µs scan cycles; –40 °C to +85 °C rating guarantees reliability across ambient extremes. |
Use Scenario: Holding configuration data and fault logs in door module ECUs where space-constrained SOIC packaging is required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone SRAM for EEPROM offload-reducing write wear and enabling faster parameter updates during CAN diagnostics. Use Value: ≤5 µA ISB2 enables >1-year battery backup life; 2.7 V minimum VCC supports degraded supply operation during cold-cranking events. |
| Medical Diagnostic Instrument Cache | Legacy Industrial HMI Controller |
|
Use Scenario: Caching waveform buffers and user interface assets in portable ultrasound devices requiring deterministic latency and low EMI. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability parallel SRAM used as frame buffer extension for FPGA-based display controllers. Use Value: Tristate I/O and OE control eliminate bus contention during DMA transfers; Pb-free SOIC meets IEC 60601-1 RoHS compliance requirements. |
Use Scenario: Replacing obsolete 28-pin 27C256 EPROMs in retrofitted CNC machine controllers where firmware is loaded at boot. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Drop-in SRAM replacement for ROM-based boot loaders-enabling field-upgradable firmware via serial interface. Use Value: Pin-compatible with legacy 28-pin DIP/SOIC footprints; 70 ns timing matches original EPROM access specs for zero-modification board reuse. |
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 2.7–5.5 V VCC range and has higher ISB2 (10 µA industrial). | Broader voltage range suits mixed 5 V/3.3 V systems; higher standby current limits battery-backed use. | Select when interfacing with legacy 5 V peripherals or requiring wider VCC margin. |
| ON Semiconductor MC68HC11E9CP | Not a drop-in replacement: integrated MCU with on-chip 512 B RAM; no external parallel bus interface. | Replaces entire controller + memory subsystem; requires full firmware porting and PCB redesign. | Consider only for new designs targeting cost reduction through SoC consolidation-not for SRAM replacement. |
Compared with IS62C256AL-70QLI, CY62256VNLL-70ZXC offers lower standby current (5 µA vs. 10 µA) and tighter industrial qualification; versus MC68HC11E9CP, it preserves existing parallel bus architecture and avoids firmware migration, making it optimal for memory-only upgrades.

FAQ
Is CY62256VNLL-70ZXC compatible with 5 V logic systems?
No. CY62256VNLL-70ZXC operates strictly within 2.7 V to 3.6 V and is not 5 V tolerant. Its VIH threshold is 2.2 V minimum, and absolute maximum input voltage is VCC + 0.3 V. Interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers requires level-shifting circuitry or logic translation ICs to avoid damage or unreliable operation.
Does this SRAM require an external clock or refresh signal?
No. CY62256VNLL-70ZXC is a fully static RAM: it retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied and CE remains asserted or in data retention mode (VCC ≥ 1.4 V). No clock, refresh cycle, or periodic access is needed-unlike DRAM or pseudo-SRAM devices.
What is the maximum data retention time when VCC drops to 1.4 V?
Data retention is indefinite at VCC ≥ 1.4 V, provided ambient temperature remains within specification (–40 °C to +85 °C) and no input exceeds VCC + 0.3 V. The device draws ≤6 µA (industrial grade) in retention mode, enabling multi-year backup with coin-cell batteries in properly designed circuits.
Can CY62256VNLL-70ZXC be used in place of CY62256NLL-70ZXC?
Yes-CY62256VNLL-70ZXC is the enhanced version of CY62256NLL-70ZXC, featuring improved data retention current (ISB2 ≤5 µA vs. ≤10 µA), tighter VCC min (2.7 V vs. 3.0 V), and extended automotive-E qualification. All pinouts, timing, and logic behavior are identical; it is a direct, backward-compatible upgrade.
