Product details
Overview
CY62256VNLL-70ZXET from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Kbit (32K × 8) low-voltage CMOS static RAM with 70 ns access time, operating from 2.7 V to 3.6 V, featuring TTL-compatible I/O, automatic CE-controlled power-down (ISB2 ≤ 5 μA at commercial temp), and tristate outputs enabled by OE/WE control. It serves as main or buffer memory in industrial controllers, automotive infotainment head units, and legacy embedded systems requiring non-volatile backup compatibility.
For engineers reviewing the CY62256VNLL-70ZXET datasheet, CY62256VNLL-70ZXET pinout, CY62256VNLL-70ZXET application, or CY62256VNLL-70ZXET equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-pin narrow SOIC package, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature grade, 30 mA typical active ICC, 70 ns tAA timing, and CE/OE/WE three-control interface for deterministic read/write sequencing.
Technical Context
The CY62256VNLL-70ZXET implements a fully static 32K × 8 memory array with asynchronous parallel interface, using CMOS technology for optimal speed-power trade-off. Its architecture includes dual-level decoding (row/column), sense amplifiers, input buffers, and automatic power-down logic triggered solely by CE HIGH state.
All control signals-CE, OE, and WE-are active-low and independently functional: CE enables chip select, OE controls output driver enablement, and WE determines data direction on I/O pins. The device supports easy memory expansion via CE daisy-chaining and maintains high-impedance I/O states when deselected or during write cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 Kbit (32,768 × 8 bits); supports byte-wide data bus without external multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 70 ns max at VCC = 2.7–3.6 V; ensures compatibility with 14 MHz bus clocks in legacy microcontroller systems. |
| VCC Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V; enables direct interfacing with 3.3 V logic families and battery-backed operation down to 2.7 V. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 0.1 μA typ / 5 μA max (Commercial); <10 μA max (Industrial); enables ultra-low-power retention in sleep modes. |
| Operating Current (ICC) | 11 mA min / 30 mA max at VCC = 3.6 V; defines thermal budget for dense PCB layouts in fanless enclosures. |
| Input/Output Voltage Levels | VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max; guarantees robust noise margin against 3.3 V TTL and CMOS drivers. |
| Package | 28-pin narrow SOIC (300-mil); compatible with standard wave-solder and reflow profiles; footprint matches industry-standard SRAM replacements. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin narrow SOIC (300-mil), JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, body width 7.62 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus; selects one of 32,768 memory locations; no internal latching - requires stable address during CE LOW. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tristatable I/O lines; driven by internal sense amps during read, accept data during write; high-impedance when CE or OE HIGH. |
| CE | Chip Enable (active-low) | Primary selection signal; asserts internal power-up and enables address decoding; triggers automatic ISB2 power-down when deasserted. |
| OE | Output Enable (active-low) | Controls output driver state only; does not affect power mode; allows read operations while CE remains asserted. |
| WE | Write Enable (active-low) | Determines data flow direction: WE LOW + CE LOW = write; WE HIGH + CE LOW + OE LOW = read. |
| VCC | Power Supply | Single 2.7–3.6 V supply; no separate I/O or core voltage rails; simplifies power design. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all signals and power; requires low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC to ≤5 μA (Commercial) or ≤10 μA (Industrial) when CE is HIGH - eliminates need for external power-gating logic. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Accepts 3.3 V TTL input thresholds and drives 3.3 V CMOS loads directly - avoids level-shifter components in mixed-voltage systems. |
| Tristate Output Control | Independent OE and WE control enables concurrent bus sharing with multiple peripherals without external bus transceivers. |
| Low-Voltage Operation | Guaranteed functionality down to 2.7 V - supports brown-out resilience and battery-backed operation in automotive and portable applications. |
| Multiple Temperature Grades | Industrial (-40°C to +85°C) version validated per AEC-Q100 stress tests - suitable for under-hood and factory automation environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Automotive Instrument Cluster Display Cache |
|---|---|

| Legacy Medical Device Data Logger | Avionics Flight Data Recorder Buffer |
|
Use Scenario: Captures ECG waveform samples at 1 kHz in Class II medical equipment certified to IEC 60601-1, requiring guaranteed data integrity across power cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary volatile storage for pre-processed biosignal data before CRC-verified transfer to flash; operates at 3.3 V ±5%. Use Value: 70 ns tAA meets worst-case interrupt latency requirements; 2.7 V minimum VCC ensures operation during AC/DC converter brownouts. |
Use Scenario: Buffers ARINC 429 bus messages in DO-160G-compliant flight recorders where radiation tolerance and thermal stability are mandatory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-hardened-by-process SRAM used as first-stage FIFO between serial receiver and compression ASIC; rated for -40°C to +85°C. Use Value: Industrial-grade thermal spec and 26.94 °C/W ΘJC ensure junction temperature stays below 105°C at 50°C ambient - critical for DO-178B certification evidence. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS62WV2568BLL-70NLI | Same 32K × 8 organization, 70 ns access, 2.7–3.6 V, but uses 28-pin TSOP-I package (not SOIC); ISB2 = 15 μA max (Industrial). | Requires PCB redesign for TSOP footprint; higher standby current limits use in ultra-low-power battery systems. | Select if board layout accommodates TSOP and volume pricing favors ISSI's supply chain. |
| ON Semiconductor MCM62C256CJ-15 | 5V-only (4.5–5.5 V), 150 ns access, 28-pin SOIC; no low-voltage or sub-μA standby capability. | Not drop-in compatible due to voltage and timing mismatch; requires level-shifting and clock stretching. | Consider only for legacy 5 V system refurbishment where 5 V rails are fixed and timing slack exists. |
Compared with IS62WV2568BLL-70NLI and MCM62C256CJ-15, the CY62256VNLL-70ZXET uniquely delivers industrial-temperature 70 ns performance in a pin-compatible narrow SOIC package with sub-10 μA standby - making it the sole option for space-constrained, low-power, 3.3 V embedded designs requiring proven automotive qualification.

FAQ
Is CY62256VNLL-70ZXET pin-compatible with the original CY62256-70PC?
Yes - both use identical 28-pin narrow SOIC (300-mil) packaging and share identical pinout, address/data/control signal mapping, and electrical timing specifications. The "VN" suffix denotes low-voltage operation (2.7–3.6 V), while "PC" was 5 V; voltage domain change requires verification of surrounding logic levels but no PCB modification.
Does CY62256VNLL-70ZXET support battery backup operation?
Yes - it retains data at VCC ≥ 1.4 V with ICCDR ≤ 3 μA (Commercial) or ≤ 6 μA (Industrial), enabling direct connection to coin-cell batteries via diode-OR or dedicated backup regulators. Data retention time exceeds 10 years under typical conditions with proper decoupling.
What is the maximum sustained write cycle rate for CY62256VNLL-70ZXET?
The minimum write cycle time (tWC) is 70 ns, supporting up to 14.3 million writes per second in burst mode. However, sustained operation requires thermal management: at 30 mA ICC and 68.45 °C/W ΘJA, junction temperature rise is ~20°C above ambient - limiting continuous write duty cycle to ≤60% at 70°C ambient without forced cooling.
Can OE and WE be tied together for simplified control?
No - OE and WE serve independent functions: OE controls output driver enablement (read vs. high-Z), while WE controls data direction (write vs. read). Tying them disables simultaneous read-modify-write operations and violates timing constraints in Figures 3–7; Cypress explicitly requires separate routing per datasheet Figure 5 and Table 1.
