Product details
Overview
X28C512JIZ-12 from Intersil is a 64K × 8 (512 Kbit), 5V-only, byte-alterable EEPROM in 32-lead PLCC package with Pb-free finish, -40°C to +85°C operating range, 120 ns access time, and software/hardware data protection-used for nonvolatile configuration storage in industrial control modules, legacy embedded systems, and firmware parameter retention.
For engineers reviewing the X28C512JIZ-12 datasheet, X28C512JIZ-12 pinout, X28C512JIZ-12 application, or X28C512JIZ-12 equivalent, key selection considerations include its JEDEC-standard 32-pin PLCC footprint, 120 ns read timing, 100,000 write-cycle endurance, page-write capability (128-byte burst), and dual status polling (DATA Polling on I/O7, Toggle Bit on I/O6) for efficient system-level write management.
Technical Context
The X28C512JIZ-12 implements a floating-gate CMOS EEPROM array with direct-write cell architecture, supporting both CE- and WE-controlled write cycles and requiring no external high-voltage programming supply. Its two-line control interface (CE/OE for reads, CE/WE for writes) eliminates bus contention in multi-device memory arrays.
It features hardware-level noise immunity (10 ns WE pulse rejection), VCC sense (write inhibit below 3.6 V), and software data protection enabled via a three-byte unlock sequence (AAh→55h→80h at 5555h/2AAAh/5555h). Page write mode allows up to 128 consecutive bytes within a single 100 µs load window before internal programming begins.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), Pb-free matte tin finish, JEDEC MS-016AE compliant, body dimensions 0.490" × 0.490" (12.45 mm × 12.45 mm), 1.20 mm max height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address inputs | 16-bit address bus for full 64K byte addressing; A7–A15 define page boundary for page write |

| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low device select; must be LOW for read/write; HIGH places device in 500 µA standby |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; used with CE for read operations; enables high-impedance state when HIGH |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write control; latches data on rising edge of CE or WE (whichever occurs first) |
| VCC | Power supply | +5 V ±10% only - no VPP or auxiliary voltage required |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return for all signals and power |
| NC | No connect | Pins 2, 4, 32, 34 - unconnected internally; must remain unpopulated on PCB |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| JEDEC-standard PLCC pinout | Drop-in replacement for X28C010 EPROM and lower-density EEPROMs in existing 32-pin layouts |
| Self-timed write cycle | Eliminates need for external timing logic or wait-state generation in microcontroller interfaces |
| Software data protection | Nonvolatile lock enabled by 3-byte unlock sequence; prevents accidental writes during power transitions |
| Early write completion detection | DATA Polling (I/O7) and Toggle Bit (I/O6) allow CPU to poll status instead of fixed delays |
| Direct Write™ cell technology | Enables no-erase-before-write operation and avoids over-erase degradation over 100k cycles |
| Hardware write inhibition | Automatic protection during power-up/down via VCC sense, noise filtering, and control-line default states |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT28C512-12PU | Same 64K×8 capacity, 120 ns access, PDIP-32 package; requires 5V only but lacks Pb-free anneal process | Not RoHS-compliant out-of-box; incompatible with lead-free reflow profiles unless modified | Select if legacy through-hole assembly is required and RoHS exemption applies |
| MN5Q512KB-12PL | 64K×8, 120 ns, PLCC-32, -40°C to +85°C; uses different page-write timing (max 50 µs load window vs. 100 µs) | Toggle Bit polling behavior differs; requires updated driver timing checks for status loop | Select only after validating status polling firmware against MN5Q512KB-12PL timing spec |
Compared with AT28C512-12PU and MN5Q512KB-12PL, the X28C512JIZ-12 offers guaranteed Pb-free reflow compatibility, identical JEDEC pinout, and wider 100 µs page-write load window-reducing firmware complexity in systems where host processor timing margins are tight.

FAQ
What is the maximum write cycle time for a single byte on the X28C512JIZ-12?
The X28C512JIZ-12 has a maximum write cycle time (tWC) of 10 ms per byte when not using polling. However, with DATA Polling (I/O7) or Toggle Bit (I/O6) status checking, actual system-level write latency is reduced significantly-typically under 5 ms-because the host can detect completion earlier than the worst-case 10 ms timeout. This behavior is confirmed in the FN8106 Rev 2.00 datasheet Section "Write Operation Status Bits".
Does the X28C512JIZ-12 require an external high-voltage supply for programming?
No, the X28C512JIZ-12 operates from a single +5 V ±10% supply and requires no external VPP or high-voltage programming circuitry. All internal programming voltages are generated on-chip using charge-pump circuitry, as stated in the datasheet introduction: "No external high voltages or VPP control circuits." This simplifies board design and eliminates associated BOM cost and layout complexity.
How does software data protection work on the X28C512JIZ-12?
Software data protection on the X28C512JIZ-12 is enabled by writing three specific bytes (AAh → 55h → 80h) to addresses 5555h, 2AAAh, and 5555h respectively. Once set, further writes require repeating this sequence. The protection is nonvolatile and persists through power cycles. The X28C512JIZ-12 datasheet Figure 4B and Section "Software Data Protection" confirm this exact algorithm and its persistent behavior.
Is the X28C512JIZ-12 pin-compatible with the X28C010 EPROM?
Yes, the X28C512JIZ-12 uses the JEDEC-approved pinout for byte-wide memories and is explicitly documented as X28C010 EPROM pin compatible in the FN8106 datasheet Features section. Both devices share identical 32-pin PLCC signal assignments (A0–A15, I/O0–I/O7, CE, OE, WE, VCC, VSS), enabling direct replacement in legacy EPROM sockets without PCB modification.
What is the endurance specification for page writes on the X28C512JIZ-12?
The X28C512JIZ-12 is rated for 100,000 write cycles per page, as specified in the "Endurance and Data Retention" table on page 11 of FN8106 Rev 2.00. This exceeds the 10,000-cycle rating for individual byte writes and reflects the robustness of Intersil's Direct Write™ cell architecture under burst-programming conditions typical in firmware update scenarios.
