# AS6C62256 32K x 8 Low-Power CMOS SRAM Specification
|
||
|
||
## 1. Overview
|
||
|
||
The **AS6C62256** is a **256 Kbit (32K x 8)** low-power CMOS static random-access memory (SRAM) manufactured by Alliance Memory (and second-sourced by others). It is fully compatible with common 28-pin SRAM pinouts and is widely used in **6502**, **Z80**, and other 8-bit microprocessor systems for read/write memory.
|
||
|
||
The device offers fast access times, simple control logic, and very low standby power consumption.

||
## 3. Pin Configuration (Logical)
|
||
|
||
### 3.1 Address Pins (A0-A14)
|
||
|
||
* Select one of 32,768 memory locations
|
||
* Address must be stable during read or write cycle
|
||
|
||
### 3.2 Data Pins (I/O0-I/O7)
|
||
|
||
* Bidirectional tri-state data bus
|
||
* High-impedance when not enabled
|
||
|
||
### 3.3 Control Pins
|
||
|
||
| Pin | Description |
|
||
| --- | -------------------------- |
|
||
| CE# | Chip Enable (active low) |
|
||
| OE# | Output Enable (active low) |
|
||
| WE# | Write Enable (active low) |
|
||
| VCC | +5 V power supply |
|
||
| GND | Ground |
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 4. Memory Organization
|
||
|
||
* Linear address space from `$0000` to `$7FFF`
|
||
* Each address corresponds to one byte (8 bits)
|
||
|
||
```text
|
||
Address range: 0000h - 7FFFh
|
||
Data width: 8 bits
|
||
```
|
||

|
||
|
||
## 5. Read Operation
|
||
|
||
### 5.1 Read Cycle Conditions
|
||
|
||
| Signal | State |
|
||
| ------ | ----- |
|
||
| CE? | LOW |
|
||
| OE? | LOW |
|
||
| WE? | HIGH |
|
||
|
||
* Data becomes valid after access time (tAA)
|
||
* Outputs remain valid while CE? and OE? are LOW
|
||
* Outputs are high-impedance when CE? or OE? is HIGH
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## 6. Write Operation
|
||
|
||
### 6.1 Write Cycle Conditions
|
||
|
||
| Signal | State |
|
||
| ------ | ----------- |
|
||
| CE? | LOW |
|
||
| OE? | HIGH or LOW |
|
||
| WE? | LOW pulse |
|
||
|
||
* Data is written on the rising edge of WE? or CE?
|
||
* Address and data must be stable during write window
|
||
* No internal write delay (true SRAM behavior)
|

## 7. Timing Notes (Summary)
|
||
|
||
| Parameter | Typical |
|
||
| -------------------- | -------- |
|
||
| Address access (tAA) | 55-70 ns |
|
||
| CE? access (tACE) | 55-70 ns |
|
||
| OE? access (tOE) | 25-35 ns |
|
||
| Write cycle time | ≥ 55 ns |
|

|
||
## 8. Power Modes
|
||
|
||
### 8.1 Active Mode
|
||
|
||
* CE? = LOW
|
||
* Normal read/write operation
|
||
|
||
### 8.2 Standby Mode
|
||
|
||
* CE? = HIGH
|
||
* Data retained

|
||
|
||
## 9. Reset and Power-Up Behavior
|
||
|
