Product details
Overview
HN58V256ATI12E from Renesas Electronics is a 256-kbit (32-kword × 8-bit) parallel-interface EEPROM organized with MNOS memory cells and CMOS circuitry, operating from 2.7 V to 5.5 V, featuring 120 ns maximum access time, 10⁵ write/erase cycles in page mode, and 10-year data retention. It serves as nonvolatile program/data storage in microcontroller-based industrial control modules requiring byte- and page-level reprogramming without external high-voltage programming.
For engineers reviewing the HN58V256ATI12E datasheet, HN58V256ATI12E pinout, HN58V256ATI12E application, or HN58V256ATI12E equivalent, this device delivers deterministic 64-byte page write timing (≤10 ms), software data protection via three-byte unlock sequence, and robust noise immunity on CE/OE/WE pins (rejects <20 ns glitches), supporting reliable field updates in embedded instrumentation and telecom line cards.
Technical Context
This EEPROM implements a parallel byte-wide JEDEC-standard interface with on-chip address and data latches, enabling direct connection to 8-bit microprocessor buses without external glue logic. Its internal high-voltage generator eliminates need for external VPP, and automatic page write logic latches A6–A14 on first WE or CE falling edge to define 64-byte page boundaries.
Write operation status is confirmed via data polling (I/O7 toggling) or toggle-bit detection (I/O6 toggling), both usable without RDY/Busy pin support - which is absent in the HN58V256A series. The device uses MNOS floating-gate technology for high endurance and low standby current (110 µW max), with built-in power-on/off data protection circuits that inhibit spurious writes during supply transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 kbit (32,768 × 8-bit), directly maps to 8-bit CPU data bus with no address multiplexing required |
| Access time | 120 ns max - enables full-speed read operation at ≤8.3 MHz bus clock without wait states |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports single-supply operation across 3.3 V and 5 V system rails |
| Page write time | ≤10 ms - allows burst programming of up to 64 bytes per command, reducing firmware update latency |
| Endurance | 10⁵ cycles (page mode) - supports frequent field calibration data logging over product lifetime |

Pinout & Package
HN58V256ATI12E uses a 28-pin plastic TSOP (TFP-28DBV) package, lead-free compliant, with 8.0 mm × 13.4 mm footprint and 1.20 mm max height - optimized for high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained telecom and industrial modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address input | 15-bit address bus accepting full 32-kword range; A0–A5 select byte within page, A6–A14 select page |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data input/output | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; supports read, byte write, and page write with automatic direction control |
| CE | Chip enable | Active-low chip select; latches address on falling edge during write; must be held stable during read/write cycles |
| OE | Output enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive during read; high-Z when inactive to prevent bus contention |
| WE | Write enable | Active-low write strobe; latches data on rising edge; falling edge initiates address latching for page writes |
| VCC | Power supply | Primary 2.7–5.5 V supply; powers core logic, memory array, and I/O buffers |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Single 3 V supply operation | Eliminates need for dual-voltage rails or charge pumps - simplifies power design in 3.3 V embedded systems |
| 64-byte page programming | Reduces firmware update time by >90% vs. byte-by-byte writes, critical for OTA configuration patches |
| Software data protection (SDP) | Prevents accidental writes via mandatory 3-byte unlock sequence (5555h/2AAAh/5555h + A0h), enhancing field reliability |
| Noise immunity on control pins | Rejects transients ≤20 ns on CE/OE/WE - avoids spurious writes from EMI or reset glitches in noisy environments |
| Data polling & toggle-bit status | Enables host CPU to poll write completion without dedicated RDY/Busy pin - essential for HN58V256A-series compatibility |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C256-15PU | 150 ns access time; 5 V only (4.5–5.5 V); no page write; 10⁴ endurance | Lacks page programming and wide-VCC support - suitable only for legacy 5 V designs with infrequent writes | Select if replacing older 5 V-only systems where timing margin allows 30 ns slower access |
| BR24T256FJ-WE2 | I²C interface; 1 MHz clock; 5 ms write cycle; 10⁶ endurance; 1.7–5.5 V | Serial interface reduces pin count but adds protocol overhead - better for low-pin-count MCUs with I²C peripherals | Choose for new designs prioritizing board area savings and higher endurance, accepting serial transaction latency |

FAQ
What is the maximum access time specification for the HN58V256ATI12E?
The HN58V256ATI12E has a guaranteed maximum access time of 120 ns under all valid operating conditions (VCC = 2.7–5.5 V, Ta = 0–+70°C). This value applies to both address-to-output delay (tACC) and CE-to-output delay (tCE), ensuring deterministic timing for 8-bit MPU interfaces running up to 8.3 MHz without wait-state insertion. The HN58V256ATI12E meets this spec across its full voltage and temperature range.
Does the HN58V256ATI12E support page write functionality, and what is the maximum page size?
Yes, the HN58V256ATI12E supports automatic page write with a fixed page size of 64 bytes. The device latches A6–A14 on the first falling edge of WE or CE to define the page base address, then accepts up to 63 additional bytes within 30 µs of each preceding WE/CE edge. A complete 64-byte page write completes in ≤10 ms, significantly accelerating bulk data updates compared to byte-wise programming.
How does the HN58V256ATI12E indicate write completion without a RDY/Busy pin?
The HN58V256ATI12E uses two hardware-supported methods: data polling (reading I/O7, which toggles during internal write and stabilizes when complete) and toggle-bit detection (monitoring I/O6, which toggles repeatedly until write finishes). These mechanisms eliminate dependency on the RDY/Busy signal - which is exclusive to the HN58V257A series - enabling full compatibility with existing HN58V256A-based designs.
What software data protection sequence is required to enable writes on the HN58V256ATI12E?
To enable a write operation on the HN58V256ATI12E, the host must issue a three-byte unlock sequence before the target address and data: write 0xAA to address 0x5555, then 0x55 to address 0x2AAA, then 0xA0 to address 0x5555. Only after this exact sequence is completed will the subsequent write to the target address be accepted. The HN58V256ATI12E ships with software data protection disabled.
Is the HN58V256ATI12E RoHS-compliant and what package type does it use?
Yes, the HN58V256ATI12E is lead-free and RoHS-compliant, indicated by the "E" suffix in its ordering code. It uses the TFP-28DBV 28-pin plastic thin small-outline package (TSOP), measuring 8.0 mm × 13.4 mm with 0.5 mm pitch, designed for surface-mount assembly in high-density industrial and telecom PCBs.
