Product details
Overview
W24257S-70LL T/R from Winbond is a 32K × 8-bit CMOS static RAM organized as 32768 × 8 bits, operating on a single +5V supply with 70 ns maximum access time, 65 mA active current, and 15 µA standby current (LL version), used in legacy industrial control and embedded instrumentation requiring non-volatile data retention down to 2V.
For engineers reviewing the W24257S-70LL T/R datasheet, W24257S-70LL T/R pinout, W24257S-70LL T/R application, or W24257S-70LL T/R equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (28-pin 330 mil SOP), TTL-compatible I/O timing, battery-backup capability, and direct replacement guidance for legacy SRAM-based designs.
Technical Context
The W24257S-70LL T/R implements a fully static memory core with asynchronous read/write operation, three-state bidirectional I/Os (I/O1–I/O8), and independent chip select (CS), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls. It requires no clock or refresh circuitry and supports address-access and chip-select-controlled read cycles.
Its low-power LL variant achieves 15 µA standby current at VDD ≥ 2.0 V, enabling battery-backed data retention without external power switching. All DC and AC parameters-including TAA = 70 ns, TCLZ = 10 ns, and TDW = 30 ns-are specified over 0°C to +70°C with VDD = 5V ±10%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32768 × 8 bits - provides 32 KB of byte-addressable, non-refreshing RAM space |
| Access Time | 70 ns max - determines minimum bus cycle time in microcontroller or FPGA interface designs |
| Supply Voltage | +5V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5V TTL/CMOS logic families without level translation |
| Standby Current | 15 µA max (LL) - enables >1-year data retention on coin-cell backup at 3V |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial control and test equipment |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - guarantees memory state hold during brown-out or battery switchover |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible inputs and three-state outputs - allows direct connection to 5V microprocessor data/address buses |
Pinout & Package
W24257S-70LL T/R is housed in a 28-pin 330 mil SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package with standard pin pitch (1.27 mm), body width 7.5 mm, and JEDEC MS-013AC compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0x0000–0x7FFF; fully decoded internally for 32K-word selection |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CS high or OE high during read, or WE high during write |
| CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable: device responds only when CS = low; controls power state transition between active (65 mA) and standby (15 µA) |
| OE | Output Enable Input | Active-low read control: enables I/O pins as outputs only when CS = low and OE = low |
| WE | Write Enable Input | Active-low write control: latches data on I/O1–I/O8 into memory array when CS = low and WE = low |
| VDD | Power Supply | +5V supply pin; must be decoupled locally with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per device |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power ground reference; requires low-impedance PCB plane connection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 32K × 16 organization, 10 ns access, 3.3V supply, 44-pin TSOP | Higher density, faster, lower voltage - requires PCB redesign and level shifting | Select only if upgrading system performance and replacing entire memory subsystem |
| AS6C4008-70SCN | 512K × 8 organization, 70 ns access, 5V supply, 28-pin SOJ | Same speed and voltage but larger capacity and different package (SOJ vs. SOP) | Acceptable for drop-in replacement if socket and layout accommodate SOJ mechanicals and pinout alignment |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-70SCN, the W24257S-70LL T/R offers proven 5V TTL compatibility and SOP packaging for legacy repair, while alternatives trade pin compatibility for higher density or lower voltage - requiring validation of timing margins, power delivery, and physical fit.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the W24257S-70LL T/R?
The W24257S-70LL T/R is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C, consistent with commercial-grade industrial control and test equipment environments. This range is explicitly defined in the DC Characteristics table of the May 2000 datasheet revision A14, and applies to all timing and current specifications including TAA = 70 ns and ISB1 = 15 µA.
Does the W24257S-70LL T/R support battery backup operation?
Yes, the W24257S-70LL T/R supports battery backup operation with a minimum data retention voltage of 2.0 V and standby current of 15 µA (ISB1). When CS ≥ VDD − 0.2 V and VDD drops to 2.0–3.0 V, the device retains stored data without external circuitry - confirmed in the Data Retention Characteristics section of the datasheet.
Is the W24257S-70LL T/R pin-compatible with other 28-pin SRAMs like the HM62256?
No, the W24257S-70LL T/R is not pin-compatible with HM62256. While both are 32K × 8 SRAMs in 28-pin packages, HM62256 uses a different pinout: its A14 is on pin 24, whereas W24257S-70LL T/R places A14 on pin 1. The datasheet's Pin Configuration diagram and Bonding Pad Diagram confirm this distinct assignment, making direct substitution electrically unsafe without PCB modification.
What is the maximum input leakage current for the W24257S-70LL T/R?
The maximum input leakage current (ILI) for the W24257S-70LL T/R is ±2 µA across the full input voltage range (VSS to VDD), as specified in the DC Characteristics table under Operating Characteristics. This value applies to all address (A0–A14) and control (CS, OE, WE) inputs at TA = 0°C to +70°C and VDD = 5V ±10%.
Can the W24257S-70LL T/R be used in new designs today?
Yes, the W24257S-70LL T/R remains viable for new designs targeting legacy system repair, industrial spares, or cost-optimized 5V embedded applications where 32 KB static RAM meets functional requirements. Its 28-pin 330 mil SOP package, 70 ns timing, and documented battery-backup behavior provide predictable integration - though designers should verify long-term supply continuity with Aetrix Electronics.
