Overview

The IS62C256AL-45ULI is a high-speed, 256K bit static RAM organized as 32,768 words by 8 bits. It operates on a single 5V supply and features an asynchronous interface that requires no clock or refresh cycles, making it ideal for simplified memory expansion in legacy and industrial systems. The part is designed for low-power consumption with a maximum standby current of 120 uA.

Why Choose This Part

The 45ns access time ensures high-speed data retrieval for real-time applications without the complexity of DRAM controllers. Its CMOS technology allows for extremely low power standby modes, and the 28-pin SOP package provides a balance between compact footprint and ease of PCB routing.

Applications

Microcontroller Buffer Memory
Provides external data buffering for 8-bit or 16-bit MCUs that require more volatile storage than available on-chip.
Industrial Control Systems
Used as reliable working memory in PLC modules and industrial automation hardware operating in extended temperature ranges.
Legacy System Maintenance
Acts as a modern, reliable replacement for discontinued 32K x 8 asynchronous SRAMs in vintage computing and embedded hardware.
Communication Equipment
Serves as temporary packet storage or lookup tables in networking hardware and protocol converters.

Getting Started

To interface this SRAM, connect the 15-bit address bus, 8-bit data bus, and control lines (CE, OE, WE) to your processor's external memory interface (EMIF). Ensure the VDD supply is stable between 4.5V and 5.5V, and pull up the Chip Enable line to prevent accidental writes during power-up sequencing.
