PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The UT28F256LVQLE amorphous silicon redundan t
ViaLinkTM PROM is a high performance, asynchronous,
radiation-hardened, 32K x 8 programmable memory device. The
UT28F256L VQLE PROM features fully asychronous operation
requiring no external clocks or timing strobes. An advanced
radiation-hardened twin-well CMOS process technology is used
to implement the UT28F256LVQLE. The combination of
radiation-hardness, fast access time, and low power consumption
make the UT28F256LQLE ideal for high speed systems designed
for operation in radiation environments.

DEVICE OPERATION
The UT28F256LVQLE has three control inputs: Chip Enable
(CE), Program Enable (PE), and Output Enable (OE); fifteen
address inputs, A(14:0); and eight bidirectional data lines,
DQ(7:0). CE is the device enable input that controls chip
selection, active, and standby modes. Asserting CE causes IDD
to rise to its active value and decodes the fifteen address inputs
to select one of 32,768 words in the memory. PE controls
program and read operations. During a read cycle, OE must be
asserted to enable the outputs.

Notes:
1. Stresses outside the listed absolute maximum ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only, and functional operation of the
device at these or any other conditions beyond limits indicated in the operational sections of this specification is not recommended. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
2. Test per MIL-STD-883, Method 1012, infinite heat sink.

READ CYCLE
A combination of PE greater than VIH(min), and CE less than
VIL(max) defines a read cycle. Read access time is measured
from the latter of device enable, output enable, or valid address
to valid data output.
An address access read is initiated by a change in address inputs
while the chip is enabled with OE asserted and PE deasserted.
Valid data appears on data output, DQ(7:0), after the specified
tAVQV is satisfied. Outputs remain active throughout the entire
cycle. As long as device enable and output enable are active, the
address inputs may change at a rate equal to the minimum read
cycle time.
The chip enable-controlled access is initiated by CE going active
while OE remains asserted, PE remains deasserted, and the
addresses remain stable for the entire cycle. After the specified
tELQV is satisfied, the eight-bit word addressed by A( 14: 0)
appears at the data outputs DQ(7:0).
Output enable-controlled access is initiated by OE going active
while CE is asserted, PE is deasserted, and the addresses are
stable. Read access time is tGLQV unless tAVQV or tELQV have
not been satisfied.

RADIATION HARDNESS
The UT28F256LVQLE PROM incorporates special design and
layout features which allow operation in high-level radiation
environments. Aeroflex Colorado Springs has developed special
low-temperature processing techniques designed to enhance the
total-dose radiation hardness of both the gate oxide and the field
oxide while maintaining the circuit density and reliability. For
transient radiation hardness and latchup imm unity, Aeroflex
Colorado Springs builds all radiation-harden ed products on
epitaxial wafers using an advanced twin-tub CMOS process. In
addition, Aeroflex Color ado Springs pays special attention to
power and ground distribution during the design phase,
minimizing dose-rate upset caused by rail collapse.

Note:
1. The PROM will not latchup during radiation exposure under recommended operating conditions.
