DESCRIPTION
The CAT28LV256 is a fast, low power, low voltage
CMOS Parallel E
2
PROM organized as 32K x 8-bits. It
requires a simple interface for in-system programming.
On-chip address and data latches, self-timed write cycle
with auto-clear and V
CC
power up/down write protection
eliminate additional timing and protection hardware.
DATA
Polling and Toggle status bits signal the start and
end of the self-timed write cycle. Additionally, the
CAT28LV256 features hardware and software write
protection.
The CAT28LV256 is manufactured using Catalyst’s
advanced CMOS floating gate technology. It is designed
to endure 100,000 program/erase cycles and has a data
retention of 100 years. The device is available in JEDEC–
approved 28-pin DIP, 28-pin TSOP or 32-pin PLCC
packages.

*COMMENT
Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only, and functional operation
of the device at these or any other conditions outside of
those listed in the operational sections of this specifica-
tion is not implied. Exposure to any absolute maximum
rating for extended periods may affect device perfor-
mance and reliability.

Note:
(1) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(2) The minimum DC input voltage is –0.5V. During transitions, inputs may undershoot to –2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns. Maximum DC
voltage on output pins is V
CC
+0.5V, which may overshoot to V
CC
+2.0V for periods of less than 20 ns.
(3) Output shorted for no more than one second. No more than one output shorted at a time.
(4) Latch-up protection is provided for stresses up to 100mA on address and data pins from –1V to V
CC
+1V.

Note:
(1) This parameter is tested initially and after a design or process change that affects the parameter.
(2) Input rise and fall times (10% and 90%) < 10 ns.
(3) A write pulse of less than 20ns duration will not initiate a write cycle.
(4) A timer of duration t
BLC
max. begins with every LOW to HIGH transition of
WE.
If allowed to time out, a page or byte write will begin;
however a transition from HIGH to LOW within t
BLC
max. stops the timer.
