Product details
Overview
X28HC256JIZ-90 from Intersil is a 32k × 8-bit (256 kbit), 5V-only, byte-alterable CMOS EEPROM with 90 ns access time, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and 32-lead PLCC RoHS-compliant package. It delivers high-reliability nonvolatile storage for firmware configuration, calibration data, and system parameter retention in embedded controllers and industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the X28HC256JIZ-90 datasheet, X28HC256JIZ-90 pinout, X28HC256JIZ-90 application, or X28HC256JIZ-90 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 100,000 write-cycle endurance, 100-year data retention, 128-byte page write capability (≤0.8 s full rewrite), DATA/Toggle bit polling support, and JEDEC software data protection - all under single 5V supply operation without external high-voltage circuitry.
Technical Context
The X28HC256JIZ-90 implements a textured poly floating gate EEPROM cell architecture enabling direct-write operation without erase-before-write. Its dual-line control (CE/OE/WE) supports bus contention-free read/write sequencing and enables low-power standby mode (500 µA) via CE-driven power gating.
It integrates early write completion detection via I/O7 DATA polling (complement-read signaling) and I/O6 toggle-bit monitoring, both compliant with standard read cycle timing. Page write logic enforces A7–A14 address stability across up to 128 consecutive byte loads, with ≤100 µs inter-byte timing window before automatic internal programming begins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 32k × 8-bit (256 kbit) - supports full byte-addressable storage for configuration tables and runtime variables in microcontroller-based systems. |
| Access time | 90 ns - enables direct interfacing with 8-bit MCUs operating at ≤10 MHz without wait states. |
| Write endurance | 100,000 cycles per byte - ensures long-term reliability in field-updatable applications such as sensor calibration and device personalization. |
| Data retention | 100 years - guarantees nonvolatile data integrity over product lifetime without battery backup. |
| Supply voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5V logic families and eliminates need for level-shifting in industrial control boards. |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for use in extended-temperature industrial environments including motor drives and factory automation equipment. |
| Page write capacity | 128 bytes - reduces firmware update latency by enabling bulk writes with typical full-memory rewrite in <0.8 s. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead PLCC (RoHS-compliant), JEDEC MS-016AE, body size 12.32 mm × 14.86 mm × 3.18 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 must remain stable during page write sequences. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional data bus | 8-bit parallel interface for read/write operations; I/O6 and I/O7 serve dual role as toggle-bit and data-polling status indicators. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low primary device select; when HIGH, places device in low-power standby (500 µA) and disables outputs. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output buffers; used with CE to initiate reads and prevent bus contention in multi-device memory arrays. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches data on rising edge (with CE) and initiates byte or page write cycles. |
| VCC / VSS | Power / Ground | +5V supply and return; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device per datasheet recommendation. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 1, 12, 17, 26 - electrically isolated; must not be connected to PCB traces or power rails. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Direct Write™ cell technology | Enables true byte-alterable writes without prior erase, eliminating block management overhead in firmware storage. |
| 128-byte page write | Reduces average write time by >95% vs. individual byte writes - critical for fast field updates in medical and test equipment. |
| DATA polling (I/O7) | Allows host MCU to poll completion status using simple bit-test loop, removing dependency on external interrupt lines or timers. |
| Toggle bit polling (I/O6) | Eliminates need to store last written address/data for polling - simplifies software implementation in multi-device EEPROM arrays. |
| JEDEC software data protection | Nonvolatile lock mechanism prevents accidental writes during power transitions; activated via 3-byte unlock sequence to fixed addresses. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar EEPROM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|

FAQ
What is the maximum write speed achievable with X28HC256JIZ-90?
The X28HC256JIZ-90 supports 128-byte page writes, enabling full 256 kbit memory rewrite in typically less than 0.8 seconds. Individual byte writes complete in ≤5 ms (tWC), and early completion can be detected via DATA polling (I/O7) or Toggle bit (I/O6), reducing effective write latency by up to 50% in optimized firmware implementations. The X28HC256JIZ-90 does not require external high-voltage programming pulses.
Does X28HC256JIZ-90 require external high-voltage circuitry for programming?
No, the X28HC256JIZ-90 operates with a single 5V supply and requires no external high-voltage circuitry. Its Direct Write™ floating-gate technology enables byte-alterable writes using only standard TTL-level signals (CE, OE, WE). All internal programming voltages are generated on-chip, simplifying board design and eliminating risk of voltage-related programming errors in the X28HC256JIZ-90.
How does software data protection work on X28HC256JIZ-90?
Software data protection on the X28HC256JIZ-90 is enabled via a JEDEC-standard 3-byte unlock sequence (AAh to 5555h, 55h to 2AAAh, A0h to 5555h) preceding any write. Once set, the X28HC256JIZ-90 remains write-protected until the sequence is repeated. Protection persists across power cycles and prevents inadvertent writes during power-up/down transients.
What is the pin compatibility status of X28HC256JIZ-90 with other X28HC256 variants?
The X28HC256JIZ-90 shares identical 32-lead PLCC pinout and signal definitions with all X28HC256 PLCC variants (e.g., X28HC256JI-90, X28HC256JZ-90), differing only in temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and RoHS compliance. It is not pin-compatible with PDIP or SOIC variants due to different lead counts and physical layouts. The X28HC256JIZ-90 requires no PCB changes when replacing same-package variants.
Can X28HC256JIZ-90 be used in systems with 3.3V logic interfaces?
The X28HC256JIZ-90 is specified for 5V ±10% operation and uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V), making it interoperable with 3.3V systems only if level translation is provided on CE, OE, WE, and address/data lines. Direct connection to 3.3V GPIO may result in marginal noise margins or unreliable writes; the X28HC256JIZ-90 is not 3.3V-tolerant.
