DESCRIPTION

The CAT28C256 is a fast, low power, 5V-only CMOS parallel E2PROM 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 VCC 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 CAT28C256 features hardware and software write protection.
