Product details
Overview
X28C512JI-15 from Intersil is a 64K × 8 (512 Kbit) byte-alterable EEPROM with 150 ns access time, operating from a single +5 V supply over –40°C to +85°C. It features JEDEC-standard 32-lead PLCC pinout, 128-byte page write capability (≤2.5 s full-write), DATA Polling (I/O7) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) for write-status detection, and software/hardware data protection-used in industrial control firmware storage and configuration memory for legacy embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the X28C512JI-15 datasheet, X28C512JI-15 pinout, X28C512JI-15 application, or X28C512JI-15 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 150 ns read timing, PLCC-32 package compatibility with EPROM sockets, page write efficiency, and dual polling support for real-time write completion monitoring.
Technical Context
The X28C512JI-15 implements a floating-gate CMOS EEPROM array with direct-write cell architecture, supporting both CE- and WE-controlled write cycles. Its two-line control (CE/OE) eliminates bus contention during reads, while internal self-timed programming ensures consistent 5 ms typical byte write duration without external timing circuits.
Page write mode enables up to 128 consecutive bytes per page load cycle with ≤100 µs inter-byte timing window; address bits A7–A15 must remain stable across writes within a page. Status reporting uses dedicated I/O pins: I/O7 for DATA Polling (complement read on busy), I/O6 for Toggle Bit (state alternation during programming).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C512-15PU | Same 64K×8 capacity, 150 ns access, PDIP-32 package; active current 40 mA (vs. 50 mA) | Commercial temp range (0°C to +70°C); lacks industrial-grade qualification | Select for cost-sensitive, non-industrial designs where socketed DIP is preferred and ambient temperature remains controlled. |
| MN65C512-15PL | 64K×8 EEPROM, 150 ns, PLCC-32; standby current 200 µA (vs. 500 µA); RoHS-compliant | Industrial temp range (–40°C to +85°C); no Toggle Bit polling support | Choose when lower standby power is critical and DATA Polling alone suffices for write-status monitoring. |
Compared with AT28C512-15PU and MN65C512-15PL, the X28C512JI-15 uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, dual polling (I/O6/I/O7), and JEDEC EPROM-compatible PLCC pinout-making it optimal for legacy system upgrades requiring drop-in reliability and real-time write feedback.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the X28C512JI-15?
The X28C512JI-15 is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Information table (Page 3) and Recommended Operating Conditions (Page 11) of the FN8106 datasheet. The "I" suffix explicitly denotes the industrial temperature grade, distinguishing it from commercial (0°C to +70°C) and military (–55°C to +125°C) variants. Thermal derating is not required within this range.
Does the X28C512JI-15 require external high-voltage programming circuitry?
No, the X28C512JI-15 operates from a single +5 V supply with no external high voltages or VPP control circuits required. As stated in the Features section (Page 1), it uses Intersil's proprietary floating-gate CMOS process enabling "Direct Write™" functionality. All programming is self-timed and internally generated, eliminating the need for external programmers or elevated voltage rails.
How does software data protection work on the X28C512JI-15?
Software data protection on the X28C512JI-15 is enabled via a nonvolatile three-byte unlock sequence written to specific addresses (5555h, 2AAAh, 5555h) followed by a command byte (80h). Once set, further writes require repeating the sequence. The feature is disabled by default at shipment and persists through power cycles. Full details are in Figures 4A/4B and Page 8 of the FN8106 datasheet.
What is the purpose of the Toggle Bit (I/O6) and DATA Polling (I/O7) on the X28C512JI-15?
The Toggle Bit (I/O6) alternates logic state on successive reads during internal programming, ceasing when complete. DATA Polling (I/O7) returns the complement of the last written byte while busy, then true data upon completion. Both provide host software with deterministic, interrupt-free write-status feedback-reducing average write time versus fixed-delay polling. Their operation is defined in Figures 1, 2A/B, and 3A/B (Pages 5–7).
Is the X28C512JI-15 pin-compatible with standard EPROMs?
Yes, the X28C512JI-15 features the JEDEC-approved pinout for byte-wide memories and is explicitly stated as "X28C010 EPROM pin compatible" in the Features section (Page 1). Its 32-lead PLCC package matches industry-standard EPROM footprints, enabling direct replacement in existing sockets without PCB modification-provided timing and voltage requirements are met.
