Product details
Overview
X28HC256JIZ-90T1 from Intersil is a 256 kbit (32k × 8), 5V-only, byte-alterable CMOS EEPROM with 90 ns access time, fabricated using textured poly floating gate technology. It supports 128-byte page writes (≤0.8 s full rewrite), DATA and Toggle bit polling for early write completion detection, and JEDEC-standard software data protection. It is used in industrial control systems for nonvolatile parameter storage requiring high reliability and power-up/down write inhibition.
For engineers reviewing the X28HC256JIZ-90T1 datasheet, X28HC256JIZ-90T1 pinout, X28HC256JIZ-90T1 application, or X28HC256JIZ-90T1 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), RoHS-compliant 32-lead PLCC package, 100,000 write endurance, 100-year data retention, and compatibility with 5V TTL/CMOS bus interfaces in legacy embedded systems.
Technical Context
The X28HC256JIZ-90T1 implements a two-line control architecture (CE/OE for reads; CE/WE for writes) to eliminate bus contention in multi-device memory arrays. Its Direct Write™ cell structure enables single 5V supply operation with no external high-voltage programming circuitry or pre-erase requirement.
It features dual write status reporting via I/O7 (DATA polling) and I/O6 (Toggle bit), both compliant with read cycle timing constraints. The device integrates hardware VCC-sense write inhibit (<3.5 V) and software-controlled nonvolatile protection activated via a three-byte address sequence (5555h/2AAAh/5555h).

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 operating temperature range for the X28HC256JIZ-90T1?
The X28HC256JIZ-90T1 is rated for industrial operation from -40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per the manufacturer's recommended operating conditions and applies to all DC and AC electrical specifications, including 90 ns access time and 100,000 write endurance. The device maintains full functionality-including DATA polling and software protection-across this entire span, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and outdoor telecom deployments where thermal stability is critical. X28HC256JIZ-90T1 performance does not require derating at temperature extremes.
Does the X28HC256JIZ-90T1 require external high-voltage programming circuitry?
No, the X28HC256JIZ-90T1 operates from a single 5V supply with no external high-voltage circuitry required. Its Direct Write™ cell technology eliminates the need for VPP pins, charge pumps, or complex programming algorithms. All write operations-including byte, page, and software protection activation-are self-timed and completed internally within the specified tWC (5 ms typical). This simplifies system design, reduces BOM count, and enhances reliability compared to older EEPROM architectures. X28HC256JIZ-90T1 fully complies with JEDEC standards for 5V-only operation.
How does the software data protection feature work on the X28HC256JIZ-90T1?
The X28HC256JIZ-90T1 software data protection is a nonvolatile lock activated by writing three specific values (0xAA, 0x55, 0xAA) to addresses 0x5555, 0x2AAA, and 0x5555 in sequence. Once enabled, all subsequent writes require repeating this sequence before loading data. Protection persists through power cycles and remains active until explicitly reset via a six-step unlock algorithm. The feature is shipped disabled, allowing immediate use. X28HC256JIZ-90T1 implements this per JEDEC standard, ensuring interoperability with existing EEPROM firmware routines.
Can the X28HC256JIZ-90T1 be used in place of the X28HC256JI-90?
Yes-the X28HC256JIZ-90T1 is the tape-and-reel version of the X28HC256JI-90, with identical electrical, timing, and functional specifications. The "Z" suffix denotes RoHS compliance, and "T1" indicates 1,000-unit tape-and-reel packaging per JEDEC standard TB347. Pinout, access time (90 ns), temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), and all DC/AC parameters match exactly. X28HC256JIZ-90T1 is a direct replacement for automated SMT assembly, while X28HC256JI-90 is supplied in tube packaging for prototyping or low-volume hand-soldering.
What is the purpose of the NC pins on the X28HC256JIZ-90T1 PLCC package?
The X28HC256JIZ-90T1 has four NC (No Connect) pins: 1, 12, 17, and 26. These pins are electrically isolated from the die and serve no functional role-neither signal nor power. They must remain unconnected and floating; soldering them to ground, VCC, or any trace violates the device's thermal and electrical specifications and may cause latch-up or parametric failure. Their presence accommodates package mold tooling and mechanical alignment in the 32-lead PLCC (N32.45x55) footprint. X28HC256JIZ-90T1 operation is fully defined and guaranteed only when NC pins are left open.
