GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Am27C256 is a 256K-bit ultraviolet erasable pro-
grammable read-only memory. It is organized as 32K
words by 8 bits per word, operates from a single +5 V
supply, has a static standby mode, and features fast sin-
gle address location programming. Products are avail-
able in windowed ceramic DIP packages as well as plas-
tic one time programmable (OTP) PDIP, TSOP, and
PLCC packages.
Typically, any byte can be accessed in less than 55 ns,
allowing operation with high-performance microproces-
sors without any WAIT states. The Am27C256 offers
separate Output Enable (OE) and Chip Enable (CE)
controls, thus eliminating bus contention in a multiple
bus microprocessor system.
AMD’s CMOS process technology provides high speed,
low power, and high noise immunity. Typical power con-
sumption is only 80 mW in active mode, and 100
µW
in
standby mode.
All signals are TTL levels, including programming sig-
nals. Bit locations may be programmed singly, in blocks,
or at random. The Am27C256 supports AMD’s Flashrite
programming algorithm (100
µs
pulses) resulting in typi-
cal programming time of 4 seconds.
