HM62256A Series
32,768-word ×  8-bit High Speed CMOS Static RAM
Maintenance only
The Hitachi HM62256A is a CMOS static RAM 
organized 32-kword ×  8-bit. It realizes higher 
performance and low power consumption by 
employing 0.8 µm Hi-CMOS process technology. 
The device, packaged in a 8 ×  14 mm TSOP with 
thickness of 1.2 mm, 450-mil SOP (foot print pitch 
width), 600-mil plastic DIP, or 300-mil plastic DIP, 
is available for high density mounting. TSOP 
package is suitable for cards, and reverse type 
TSOP is also provided. It offers low power 
standby power dissipation; therefore, it is suitable 
for battery back up system.
Features
• High speed: Fast Access time 85/100/120/150 ns 
(max)
• Low Power 
Standby: 5 µW (typ) (L/L-SL version) 
Operation: 40 mW (typ) (f = 1 MHz)
• Single 5 V supply
• Completely static memory 
No clock or timing strobe required
• Equal access and cycle times
• Common data input and output: Three state 
output
• Directly TTL compatible: All inputs and outputs
• Capability of battery back up operation

Notes: 1. A write occurs during the overlap of a low CS  and a low WE . A write begins at the later
transition of CS  going low or WE  going low. A write ends at the earlier transition of CS  
going high or WE  going high. t
is measured from the beginning of write to the end of
WP
write.
2. t
3. t
4. t
is measured from CS  going low to the end of write.
CW
is measured from the address valid to the beginning of write.
AS
is measured from the earlier of WE  or CS  going high to the end of write cycle.
WR
5. During this period, I/O pins are in the output state so that the input signals of the opposite 
phase to the outputs must not be applied.
6. If the CS  low transition occurs simultaneously with the WE  low transition or after the WE  
transition, the output remain in a high impedance state.
7. Dout is the same phase of the write data of this write cycle.
8. Dout is the read data of next address.
9. If CS  is low during this period, I/O pins are in the output state. Therefore, the input signals 
of the opposite phase to the output must not be applied to them.
10. This parameter is sampled and not 100% tested.
11. t
OHZ
and t
are defined as the time at which the outputs achieve the open circuit

conditions and are not referenced to output voltage levels.
