• Available in commercial, industrial, and military
temperature ranges
windowed packages (28-pin hermetic DIP and 32-pin LCC)
which allow the device to be erased with UV light for 100%
reprogrammability.
The CY27C256A is equipped with a power-down chip enable
(CE) input and output enable (OE) to prevent bus contention.
When CE is deasserted, the device powers down to a
low-power stand-by mode. The OE pin three-states the out-
puts without putting the device into stand-by mode. While CE
offers lower power, OE provides a more rapid transition to and
from three-stated outputs.
The memory cells utilize proven EPROM floating-gate
technology and byte-wide intelligent programming algorithms.
The EPROM cell requires only 12.75V for the supervoltage
and low programming current allows for gang programming.
The device allows for each memory location to be tested
100%, because each location is written to, erased, and
repeatedly exercised prior to encapsulation. Each device is
also tested for AC performance to guarantee that the product
will meet DC and AC specification limits after customer
programming.
The CY27C256A is read by asserting both the CE and the OE
inputs. The contents of the memory location selected by the
address on inputs A

Erasure Characteristics
Wavelengths of light less than 4000 Angstroms begin to erase
the CY27C256A in the windowed package. For this reason, an
opaque label should be placed over the window if the EPROM
is exposed to sunlight or fluorescent lighting for extended
periods of time.
The recommended dose of ultraviolet light for erasure is a
wavelength of 2537 Angstroms for a minimum dose (UV
intensity multiplied by exposure time) of 15 Wsec/cm
2
. For an
ultraviolet lamp with a 12 mW/cm
2
power rating, the exposure
time would be approximately 15 minutes. The CY27C256A
needs to be within 1 inch of the lamp during erasure.
Permanent damage may result if the EPROM is exposed to
high-intensity UV light for an extended period of time. 7258
Wsec/cm
2
is the recommended maximum dosage.
Programming Modes
Programming support is available from Cypress as well as
from a number of third-party software vendors. For detailed
programming information, including a listing of software
packages, please see the PROM Programming Information
located at the end of this section. Programming algorithms can
be obtained from any Cypress representative.
