FN8108.2
5V, Byte Alterable EEPROM
Features
The X28HC256 is a second generation high performance
CMOS 32k x 8 EEPROM. It is fabricated with Intersil’s
proprietary, textured poly floating gate technology, providing
a highly reliable 5V only nonvolatile memory.
• Access time: 70ns
• Simple byte and page write
- Single 5V supply
- No external high voltages or VP-P control circuits
- Self-timed
The X28HC256 supports a 128-byte page write operation,
effectively providing a 24µs/byte write cycle, and enabling
the entire memory to be typically rewritten in less than 0.8
seconds. The X28HC256 also features DATA Polling and
Toggle Bit Polling, two methods of providing early end of
write detection. The X28HC256 also supports the JEDEC
standard Software Data Protection feature for protecting
against inadvertent writes during power-up and power-down.
- No erase before write
- No complex programming algorithms
- No overerase problem
• Low power CMOS
- Active: 60mA
- Standby: 500µA
Endurance for the X28HC256 is specified as a minimum
1,000,000 write cycles per byte and an inherent data
retention of 100 years.
• Software data protection
- Protects data against system level inadvertent writes
• High speed page write capability
• Highly reliable Direct Write™ cell
- Endurance: 1,000,000 cycles
- Data retention: 100 years
• Early end of write detection
- DATA polling
- Toggle bit polling
• Pb-free plus anneal available (RoHS compliant)
