Hello
I am looking information for 27256 ic.
A0-A14 are the address pins
D0-to D7are data pins
CE chip enable used for rom selection
OE out enable pin
I was reading datasheet. I have confusen what is meaning of address are stable?. I am trying to explain my understanding using example. Correct me if I am wrong.

Address 15 bit         data 8 bit                      
Address 0:                  xxxxxxxx
Address 1:                  xxxxxxxx
Address 2:                  xxxxxxxx
.
.
.
Address 14:                xxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxx means anything ie. 01001010, 010 01111..etc

 

When you set up your control signals (address, CE etc) you need to wait for a while before the output data bus is stable. As you change inputs the data bus will also be changing and that change takes time so in order to ensure that your data is correct for your chosen address you need to wait a while (it will be in the 100's of nano seconds normally).

If you quote the text in question, it will be easier to explain from the context.


I assume you mean why addresses must be stable for tACC before data is valid. It's the delay in propagating the data to the outputs.

Depending on what is connected to the EPROM you're trying to read, you may be able to leave CE# and OE# low, change the address, wait tACC, and read data; for each address you want to read.
