radiation-hardened, 32K x 8 programmable memory device. The
UT28F256LVQLE PROM features fully asychronous operation
requiring no external clocks or timing strobes. An advanced
radiation-hardened twin-well CMOS process technology is used
to implement the UT28F256LVQLE. The combination of
radiation-hardness, fast access time, and low power consumption
make the UT28F256LQLE ideal for high speed systems designed
for operation in radiation environments.

DEVICE OPERATION
The UT28F256LVQLE has three control inputs: Chip Enable
(CE), Program Enable (PE), and Output Enable (OE); fifteen
address inputs, A(14:0); and eight bidirectional data lines,
DQ(7:0). CE is the device enable input that controls chip
selection, active, and standby modes. Asserting CE causes I
DD
to rise to its active value and decodes the fifteen address inputs
to select one of 32,768 words in the memory. PE controls
program and read operations. During a read cycle, OE must be
asserted to enable the outputs.

READ CYCLE
A combination of PE greater than V
IH
(min), and CE less than
V
IL
(max) defines a read cycle. Read access time is measured
from the latter of device enable, output enable, or valid address
to valid data output.
An address access read is initiated by a change in address inputs
while the chip is enabled with OE asserted and PE deasserted.
Valid data appears on data output, DQ(7:0), after the specified
t
AVQV
is satisfied. Outputs remain active throughout the entire
cycle. As long as device enable and output enable are active, the
address inputs may change at a rate equal to the minimum read
cycle time.

RADIATION HARDNESS
The UT28F256LVQLE PROM incorporates special design and
layout features which allow operation in high-level radiation
environments. Aeroflex Colorado Springs has developed special
low-temperature processing techniques designed to enhance the
total-dose radiation hardness of both the gate oxide and the field
oxide while maintaining the circuit density and reliability. For
