FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The P3C1256 is a 262,144-bit high-speed CMOS
static RAM organized as 32Kx8. The CMOS memory
requires no clocks or refreshing, and has equal access
and cycle times. Inputs are fully TTL-compatible. The
RAM operates from a single 3.3V± 0.3V tolerance power
supply .
Access times as fast as 12 nanoseconds permit greatly
enhanced system operating speeds. CMOS is utilized
to reduce power consumption to a low level. The
P3C1256 is a member of a family of P ACE RAM™ products offering fast access times.
The P3C1256 device provides asynchronous operation
with matching access and cycle times. Memory locations
are specified on address pins A0 to A14. Reading is accomplished by device selection (CE and output enabling
(OE) while write enable (WE) remains HIGH. By presenting the address under these conditions, the data in the
addressed memory location is presented on the data input/output pins. The input/output pins stay in the HIGH Z
state when either CE or OE is HIGH or WE is LOW.
Package options for the P3C1256 include 28-pin 300 mil
DIP and SOJ packages.

Note:
Because of the ultra-high speed of the P3C1256, care must be taken
when testing this device; an inadequate setup can cause a normal
functioning part to be rejected as faulty. Long high-inductance leads that
cause supply bounce must be avoided by bringing the VCC and ground
planes directly up to the contactor fingers. A 0.01 µF high frequency
capacitor is also required between VCC and ground. To avoid signal
reflections, proper termination must be used; for example, a 50Ω test
environment should be terminated into a 50Ω load with 1.73V (Thevenin
Voltage) at the comparator input, and a 116Ω resistor must be used in
series with D
OUT
to match 166Ω (Thevenin Resistance).
