FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
DESCRIPTION
The ISSI IS61LV256 is a very high-speed, low power,
32,768-word by 8-bit static RAM. It is fabricated using ISSI's
high-performance CMOS technology. This highly reliable process coupled with innovative circuit design techniques, yields
access times as fast as 12 ns maximum.
When CE is HIGH (deselected), the device assumes a standby
mode at which the power dissipation is reduced to
50 µW (typical) with CMOS input levels.
Easy memory expansion is provided by using an active LOW
Chip Enable (CE). The active LOW Write Enable (WE) controls
both writing and reading of the memory.
The IS61LV256 is available in the JEDEC standard 28-pin,
300-mil DIP and SOJ, plus the 450-mil TSOP package.
VTERMTerminal Voltage with Respect to GND–0.5 to +4.6V
TBIASTemperature Under Bias–55 to +125°C
TSTGStorage Temperature–65 to +150°C
PTPower Dissipation0.5W
IOUTDC Output Current (LOW)20mA
Notes:
1. Stress greater than those listed under ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS may cause
permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of
this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect reliability.

3. The internal write time is defined by the overlap of CE LOW and WE LOW. All signals must be in valid states to initiate a Write,
but any one can go inactive to terminate the Write. The Data Input Setup and Hold timing are referenced to the rising or falling
edge of the signal that terminates the Write.
