CY7C293A-20PC

Product Overview

The Cypress Semiconductor Corp CY7C293A-20PC is a nonvolatile EPROM memory IC with a one-time programmable (OTP) architecture and a 16 Kbit capacity organized as 2K x 8. The device uses a parallel memory interface and has a 20 ns access time, supporting systems that require fixed program or configuration data and operate in a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply environment. Its operating temperature range is specified as 0°C to 70°C (TA), for embedded memory roles where content is programmed once and then retained without power.

Key Features

• 16 Kbit nonvolatile EPROM memory with 2K x 8 organization
• One-time programmable (OTP) memory technology
• Parallel memory interface
• 20 ns access time
• 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage range
• 0°C to 70°C operating temperature range (TA)

Applications

• Nonvolatile program storage for microprocessor-based embedded systems
• Fixed configuration or calibration data storage in parallel memory subsystems
• Lookup table storage for embedded control systems

Design & Procurement Notes

When selecting the CY7C293A-20PC, verify that the host system provides a compatible 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and can interface with a parallel memory bus. The 20 ns access time should be checked against the controller timing budget, and the 2K x 8 organization should match the address and data width requirements of the target design. Because the device is OTP, programming must be planned as a one-step process, and the stored contents should be treated as fixed after programming. The 0°C to 70°C (TA) operating range should also be considered for the intended environment.
