DESCRIPTION
The ISSI IS61LV256AL 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 8 ns maximum.
When CE is HIGH (deselected), the device assumes a
standby mode at which the power dissipation is reduced to
150 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 IS61LV256AL is available in the JEDEC standard 28pin, 300-mil SOJ and the 450-mil TSOP (Type I) packages.
VDDPower Supply Voltage Relative to GND–0.5 to +4.6V
VTERMTerminal Voltage with Respect to GND–0.5 to +4.6V
TSTGStorage Temperature–65 to +150°C
PDPower Dissipation1W
IOUTDC Output Current±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.

1. Test conditions assume signal transition times of 3 ns or less, timing reference levels of 1.5V, input pulse levels of 0 to 3.0V
and output loading specified in Figure 1.
2. 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.
3. Tested with the load in Figure 2. Transition is measured ±500 mV from steady-state voltage. Not 100% tested.
