DESCRIPTION
The ISSI IS62C256 is a low power, 32,768 word by 8-bit
CMOS static RAM. It is fabricated using ISSI's highperformance, low power CMOS technology.
When CS is HIGH (deselected), the device assumes a standby
mode at which the power dissipation can be reduced down to
250 µW (typical) at CMOS input levels.
Easy memory expansion is provided by using an active LOW
Chip Select (CS) input and an active LOW Output Enable (OE)
input. The active LOW Write Enable (WE) controls both writing
and reading of the memory.
The IS62C256 is pin compatible with other 32K x 8 SRAMs in
plastic SOP or TSOP (Type I) package.
VTERMTerminal Voltage with Respect to GND–0.5 to +7.0V
TBIASTemperature Under Bias–55 to +125°C
TSTGStorage Temperature–65 to +150°C
PTPower Dissipation0.5W
IOUTDC Output Current (LOW)20mA
Note:
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.

2. Tested with the load in Figure 2. Transition is measured ±500 mV from steady-state voltage. Not 100% tested.
3. The internal write time is defined by the overlap of CS 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.
4. Tested with OE HIGH.
