GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The WS27C256L is a performance oriented 256K UV Erasable Electrically Programmable Read Only Memory
organized as 32K words x 8 bits/word. It is manufactured using an advanced CMOS technology which enables it to
operate at speeds up to 120 nsecs. The memory was designed utilizing WSI's patented self-aligned split gate
EPROM cell, resulting in a low power device with a very cost effective die size.
The WS27C256L 256K EPROM provides 32K of 8 bit wide code store capacity for DSP, microprocessor, and
microcontroller-based systems. Its 120 nsec access time over the full Military temperature range provides the
potential of no-wait state operation. And where this parameter is important, the WS27C256L provides the user with
a very fast 35 nsec TOE output enable time.
The WS27C256L is offered in a 28 pin 300 mil skinny CERDIP or the standard 600 mil CERDIP, and also in a
32 pad Ceramic Leadless Chip Carrier (CLLCC) for surface mount applications. All packages incorporate the
standard JEDEC EPROM pinout.

*NOTICE:
Stresses above those listed under "Absolute Maximum

This is a stress rating only and functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions above
those indicated in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods of
time may affect device reliability.
NOTE: 3.
This parameter is only sampled and is not 100% tested. Output Float is defined as the point where data is no longer driven – see timing

NOTES: 5. This parameter is only sampled and is not 100% tested.
6. Typical values are for TA= 25°C and nominal supply voltages.
A.C. testing inputs are driven at 2.4 V for a logic "1" and 0.4 V
for a logic "0." Timing measurements are made at 2.0 V for a
logic "1" and 0.8 V for a logic "0".
NOTE: 4. OE may be delayed up to tCE – tOE after the falling edge of CE without impact on tCE.
NOTE: 7. Provide adequate decoupling capacitance as close as possible to this device to achieve the published A.C. and D.C. parameters.
A 0.1 microfarad capacitor in parallel with a 0.01 microfarad capacitor connected between VCC and ground is recommended.
Inadequate decoupling may result in access time degradation or other transient performance failures.

NOTES: 8. VCC must be applied either coincidentally or before VPP and removed either coincidentally or after VPP.
9. VPP must not be greater than 14 volts including overshoot. During CE/PGM = VIL, VPP must not be switched from 5 volts
to 12.5 volts or vice-versa.
10. During power up the CE/PGM pin must be brought high (VIH) either coincident with or before power is applied to VPP.
