X28C010NM-12

Memory IC Overview

The X28C010NM-12 is a 128K x 8 EEPROM fabricated with floating gate CMOS technology. It operates on a single 5V supply without external high voltages or VPP control circuits. The device features an access time of 120ns and supports simple byte and page write operations. It includes software data protection to prevent inadvertent writes and offers early end-of-write detection via DATA polling and toggle bit polling. The memory density is 1,048,576 bits (1M-bit), organized as 131,072 words by 8 bits.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Self-timed byte and page write capability requiring no complex programming algorithms
• Software-based data protection mechanism against system-level inadvertent writes
• Early end-of-write detection utilizing DATA polling and toggle bit polling methods

Memory IC Applications

• Industrial systems requiring reliable non-volatile storage
• Consumer electronics needing compact memory solutions
• Automotive applications demanding high reliability

Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer source carefully, as Intersil was acquired by Renesas. Confirm the specific suffix 'NM' matches the required package type and temperature range in the official datasheet. Ensure the component meets all necessary environmental and electrical specifications for your design before procurement.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part for designs requiring 120ns access speed and 5V operation. It is suitable for applications needing byte-alterable memory with high endurance. Consider the package availability and ensure compatibility with existing JEDEC pinouts if replacing standard EEPROMs.

Memory IC Part Context

This component belongs to the X28C series of byte-alterable EEPROMs originally manufactured by Xicor, which became part of Intersil following its acquisition. The series is known for high performance and reliability using proprietary floating gate CMOS technology. Intersil later merged into Renesas Electronics, affecting current production sources.

Memory IC Replacement Considerations

Check for equivalents from Renesas under the same X28C naming convention. Verify pinout compatibility with industry-standard EEPROMs. Ensure voltage levels and access times match the original design requirements when sourcing substitutes.
