Product details
Overview
5962-8855201XA from Renesas Electronics is a military-grade 256K (32K × 8-bit) CMOS static RAM with 25ns access time, 5V ±10% supply, and MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance. It operates across –55°C to +125°C, supports TTL-compatible I/O, and features low-power standby (20mA) and battery backup data retention at 2V. Used in avionics, radar processors, and hardened embedded controllers requiring nonvolatile memory persistence under power loss.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8855201XA datasheet, 5962-8855201XA pinout, 5962-8855201XA application, or 5962-8855201XA equivalent, this page delivers verified timing specs, military temperature validation, ceramic DIP package mapping, and direct alternatives for legacy SRAM replacement in defense electronics design.
Technical Context
The 5962-8855201XA implements a full CMOS static memory array with asynchronous parallel interface, supporting independent read/write cycles via CS, WE, and OE control lines. Its architecture enables zero-wait-state operation at 25ns access time under military temperature extremes and guarantees data retention down to 2V with ≤5μW standby current in L-version variants.
It uses standard TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max) and drives outputs to VOH ≥2.4V / VOL ≤0.4V at 8mA load. The device enters low-power standby automatically when CS is high, reducing ICC to 20mA (typ) or 3mA (L-version), and supports full CMOS-level standby (ISB1 = 1.5mA) when CS exceeds VHC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256Kbit (32K × 8-bit) - supports byte-wide data bus without external multiplexing |

Pinout & Package
5962-8855201XA is housed in a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CD28), rated for military temperature cycling and hermetic reliability. Pin layout follows industry-standard 28-pin SRAM configuration with address, data, and control terminals arranged for minimal trace length in high-reliability PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 row/column selection; TTL-compatible thresholds ensure noise margin in noisy environments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5962-8855202XA | Same 256K×8 architecture but 35ns access time; identical MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification and CD28 package | Suitable where 25ns timing margin is unnecessary; lower cost due to relaxed speed binning | Select when system clock rate ≤28MHz and budget constraints outweigh need for fastest access |
| 5962-9213901MXA | 256K×8 SRAM with 20ns access, same military temp range, but packaged in 28-pin SOJ (PJG28) instead of CD28 | Enables higher board density but lacks hermetic seal; not qualified for humidity-sensitive deployments | Choose only for space-constrained ground-based systems where ceramic DIP mechanical robustness is not required |
Compared with 5962-8855201XA, the 5962-8855202XA trades 10ns speed for cost savings while maintaining identical reliability and packaging, whereas the 5962-9213901MXA offers faster access but sacrifices hermetic protection and thermal cycling endurance - making it unsuitable for airborne or maritime use cases.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range certified for the 5962-8855201XA?
The 5962-8855201XA is fully qualified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C per MIL-STD-883 Class B test requirements. This includes thermal cycling, steady-state burn-in, and parametric verification across the full range - confirmed in Renesas' rebranded 2020 datasheet revision. No derating is required at either temperature extreme for the 5962-8855201XA.
Does the 5962-8855201XA support true battery backup operation, and what voltage threshold triggers data retention mode?
Yes, the 5962-8855201XA supports true battery backup operation with guaranteed data retention down to 2.0V (VDR), as specified in Table 11 of the datasheet. When VCC falls below 2.0V, the internal circuitry maintains memory state with typical current draw of 5μW - a feature validated for the L-version variant, which applies to 5962-8855201XA per its ordering code and functional equivalence to IDT71256L25DB.
Is the 5962-8855201XA pin-compatible with commercial-grade IDT71256S25 devices?
Yes, the 5962-8855201XA shares identical pinout, signal definitions, and electrical interface with IDT71256S25 and other members of the 71256 family. Pin assignments for A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CS, WE, OE, VCC, and GND match exactly - confirmed in the "Pin Configurations" diagram (Figure 2) and "Pin Descriptions" table of the datasheet. No PCB redesign is needed when upgrading from commercial to this military-grade version.
What is the standby current specification for the 5962-8855201XA, and how is it activated?
The 5962-8855201XA draws 20mA (max) in TTL-level standby mode (ISB), activated automatically when CS is driven HIGH. This state disables internal array drivers and reduces dynamic power consumption by >90% versus active operation. Full CMOS-level standby (ISB1 = 1.5mA) engages when CS exceeds VHC (VCC – 0.2V), further optimizing power in battery-dependent systems - both modes are documented in Table 8 of the datasheet.
Which package type does the 5962-8855201XA use, and is it hermetically sealed?
The 5962-8855201XA uses a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CD28), explicitly identified in the "Orderable Part Information" table on page 10 of the datasheet. This package is hermetically sealed per MIL-STD-883 requirements, providing moisture resistance and thermal stability essential for aerospace and naval deployments - distinct from plastic or SOJ variants used in commercial versions.
