CAT28C17A
16K-Bit CMOS PARALLEL E2PROM
FEATURES
■ Fast Read Access Times: 200 ns
■ Low Power CMOS Dissipation:
–Active: 25 mA Max.
–Standby: 100 µA Max.
■ Simple Write Operation:
–On-Chip Address and Data Latches
–Self-Timed Write Cycle with Auto-Clear
■ Fast Write Cycle Time: 10ms Max
DESCRIPTION
The CAT28C17A is a fast, low power, 5V-only CMOS
parallel E2PROM organized as 2K x 8-bits. It requires a
simple interface for in-system programming. On-chip
address and data latches, self-timed write cycle with
auto-clear and VCC power up/down write protection
eliminate additional timing and protection hardware.
DATA Polling and a RDY/BSY pin signal the start and
end of the self-timed write cycle. Additionally, the
CAT28C17A features hardware write protection.

Temperature Ranges
The CAT28C17A is manufactured using Catalyst’s advanced CMOS floating gate technology. It is designed to
endure 10,000 program/erase cycles and has a data
retention of 10 years. The device is available in JEDEC
approved 28-pin DIP and SOIC or 32-pin PLCC packages.

Note:
(1) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(2) The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns. Maximum DC
voltage on output pins is VCC +0.5V, which may overshoot to VCC +2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns.
(3) Output shorted for no more than one second. No more than one output shorted at a time.
