Product details
Overview
X28HC256JI-90R5699 from Intersil is a 256 kbit (32k × 8) byte-alterable EEPROM operating from a single 5V supply, featuring 90 ns access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and 32-lead PLCC package. It delivers high-reliability nonvolatile storage for firmware configuration, calibration data, and system parameters in embedded control modules, industrial PLCs, and telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the X28HC256JI-90R5699 datasheet, X28HC256JI-90R5699 pinout, X28HC256JI-90R5699 application, or X28HC256JI-90R5699 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, pin-level design meaning, real-world application mappings, and validated alternative options for industrial-grade EEPROM selection.
Technical Context
The X28HC256JI-90R5699 implements a CMOS-based Direct Write™ floating-gate cell architecture with textured poly technology, enabling true 5V-only operation without external high-voltage programming circuits. Its dual-line control (CE/OE/WE) supports bus-shared memory arrays while eliminating contention during read/write transitions.
It integrates two early-write-completion detection methods-DATA polling on I/O7 and Toggle bit on I/O6-and supports JEDEC-standard software data protection with nonvolatile enable/disable via a 3-byte unlock sequence. Page write capability allows up to 128 consecutive bytes to be loaded before internal programming begins, reducing total rewrite time to under 0.8 s.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 kbit (32,768 × 8 bits); sufficient for full bootloader parameter sets or multi-channel sensor calibration tables. |
| Access time | 90 ns; enables direct interface with 8-bit microcontrollers running at ≤10 MHz without wait states. |
| Write endurance | 100,000 cycles per byte; supports field-updatable firmware metadata logging over 10+ years of daily reconfiguration. |
| Data retention | 100 years at +25°C; ensures long-term integrity of factory-programmed device IDs and security keys. |
| VCC operating range | 5 V ±10% (4.5 V to 5.5 V); compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy 5V power domains. |
| Operating temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for use in industrial motor drives, outdoor base stations, and automotive body control modules. |
| Page write size | 128 bytes; reduces host CPU overhead by minimizing polling frequency during bulk configuration updates. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), RoHS-compliant, dimensions 12.5 mm × 12.5 mm × 3.5 mm (N32.45x55).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit address bus selecting one of 32,768 byte locations; A7–A14 define page boundaries for 128-byte page writes. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional data bus | 8-bit parallel interface; I/O7 carries DATA polling status, I/O6 toggles during active write for hardware-agnostic completion detection. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; must be LOW to activate read/write; HIGH places device in low-power standby (500 µA max). |
| OE | Output Enable | Controls output drivers during reads; HIGH disables outputs (high-Z), preventing bus contention in multi-device systems. |
| WE | Write Enable | Latches write data on falling edge; used with CE to initiate byte or page writes; no erase-before-write required. |
| VCC / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 5V supply; decoupling requires 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per device plus 4.7 µF bulk cap per 8 devices. |
| NC (Pins 1, 12, 17, 26) | No Connect | Unbonded pins; must remain unconnected to avoid parasitic coupling or mechanical stress on leadframe. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Direct Write™ cell technology | Enables true 5V-only programming without external HV generators or complex timing sequences - simplifies PCB layout and reduces BOM count. |
| 128-byte page write | Reduces average write latency by >95% vs. byte-by-byte writes; enables full 256 kbit rewrite in <0.8 s for rapid field firmware patching. |
| DATA polling (I/O7) | Allows host to poll completion status using a single bit test - eliminates need for external interrupt lines or timer-based delays. |
| Toggle bit (I/O6) | Provides write-status feedback without saving prior address/data - ideal for multi-device arrays where address tracking adds overhead. |
| JEDEC software data protection | Nonvolatile lock activated via 3-byte sequence; prevents accidental writes during power-up/down - eliminates need for external reset supervisors. |

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; 28-pin PDIP; 100,000-cycle endurance; same 32k×8 organization and software protection. | Slower timing limits use in high-speed 8-bit bus systems; through-hole package suits legacy prototyping but not modern SMT production. | Select when board redesign is impractical and 150 ns latency is acceptable in cost-sensitive industrial controls. |
| M95256-DWMN6TP | 256 kbit SPI interface; 5 ms write cycle; SO-8 package; operates down to 1.8 V; no page write or toggle bit. | Serial interface reduces pin count but increases software overhead; lacks hardware-accelerated write status reporting. | Select for space-constrained designs where 32-pin PLCC footprint is prohibitive and SPI host resources are available. |
Compared with AT28C256-15PU and M95256-DWMN6TP, the X28HC256JI-90R5699 offers the fastest parallel access (90 ns), industrial-temp PLCC packaging, and dual hardware status reporting - making it optimal for real-time embedded systems requiring deterministic write completion and legacy bus compatibility.

FAQ
What is the maximum write speed achievable with X28HC256JI-90R5699?
The X28HC256JI-90R5699 supports a 128-byte page write mode that reduces effective write time to ~24 µs per byte, enabling full 256 kbit reprogramming in under 0.8 seconds. Individual byte writes complete in ≤5 ms (tWC), and status can be confirmed via DATA polling on I/O7 or Toggle bit on I/O6 - eliminating fixed delay loops.
Does X28HC256JI-90R5699 require external high-voltage circuitry for programming?
No. The X28HC256JI-90R5699 uses Intersil's Direct Write™ floating-gate technology and operates from a single 5V supply. No external VPP, charge pumps, or high-voltage generators are needed - all write operations are self-timed and voltage-regulated internally.
How does software data protection work on X28HC256JI-90R5699?
X28HC256JI-90R5699 ships unprotected. Protection is enabled by writing three specific values (0xAA, 0x55, 0xA0) to addresses 0x5555, 0x2AAA, and 0x5555. Once set, further writes require repeating this sequence. Protection persists through power cycles and is reset only by a six-step unlock command.
Can X28HC256JI-90R5699 be used in a shared data bus with other memory devices?
Yes. Its dual-line control architecture (CE/OE/WE) allows clean bus sharing: CE selects the device, OE enables outputs, and WE controls writes. When CE is HIGH, outputs go high-Z, preventing contention - a key feature for dense memory arrays in industrial controllers and telecom hardware.
What decoupling is required for stable operation of X28HC256JI-90R5699?
Each X28HC256JI-90R5699 requires a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor between VCC and VSS, placed as close as possible to the pins. For arrays of eight or more devices, add a 4.7 µF electrolytic bulk capacitor per group to suppress voltage droop caused by simultaneous CE activation transients.
