Product details
Overview
5962-8866201XA from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with military-grade reliability, 45ns max access time, 5V ±10% supply, and –55°C to +125°C operation. It features TTL-compatible I/O, battery-backed data retention down to 2V, and dual standby modes for low-power system design in avionics and ruggedized computing.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8866201XA datasheet, 5962-8866201XA pinout, 5962-8866201XA application, or 5962-8866201XA equivalent, key selection criteria include MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance, 45ns military-grade timing, ceramic DIP package compatibility, and verified data retention at 2V for backup power scenarios.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a full CMOS architecture with address-decoded 262,144-bit memory array, direct TTL-level input/output buffers, and dual standby control: TTL-level CS > VIH triggers ISB mode (20mA), while CMOS-level CS > VHC enables ISB1 ultra-low-power mode (1.5mA). Write operations are controlled via independent WE and CS signals with overlapping timing windows.
It supports two distinct operational modes-standard read/write cycles with tRC = 45ns and tAA = 45ns, and battery-retention mode where VCC can drop to 2.0V while maintaining data integrity with ICCDR ≤ 800μA across all temperature grades. Pin-compatible variants exist across speed grades (25–100ns) and power types (S/L), but 5962-8866201XA specifically maps to the 45ns standard-power military variant in 600-mil ceramic DIP.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), enabling byte-wide data bus interfacing without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 45ns max at –55°C to +125°C, defining minimum clock-to-data latency in synchronous systems |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% (4.5–5.5V), compatible with legacy 5V TTL/CMOS logic families and power rails |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min, allowing operation from backup batteries or brown-out conditions without data loss |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 1.5mA max at VCC = 5.5V, enabling ultra-low-power hold state during processor sleep or watchdog timeout |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C, qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B for sustained deployment in jet engine bays or space-qualified payloads |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.2V, VIL = 0.8V) and outputs (VOH ≥ 2.4V, VOL ≤ 0.4V @ 8mA), ensuring direct interface with 74LS/ALS logic |
Pinout & Package
5962-8866201XA is supplied in a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP, package code CD28), hermetically sealed for moisture resistance and thermal stability in harsh environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 row/column decode; no internal latching - requires stable address during CS low |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when CS or OE high, driven during read/write with 8mA sink/source capability |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; asserts memory array and I/O drivers when low; high → enters ISB or ISB1 standby depending on voltage threshold |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write control; low + CS low initiates write cycle; high during CS low enables read mode |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive only - does not affect internal memory state or power mode |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% primary supply; powers core logic, I/O buffers, and retention circuitry |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return plane; decoupling capacitor placement critical for noise immunity in high-speed read/write transitions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification | Fully tested per Method 5005 (steady-state life), 5007 (thermal cycling), and 5012 (hermeticity), ensuring field reliability in defense platforms |
| Dual standby power modes | ISB (20mA) triggered by TTL-level CS high; ISB1 (1.5mA) activated by CMOS-level CS high - selectable via system-level voltage rail design |
| Battery-backed data retention | Guaranteed 2V operation with ≤800μA retention current across full military temperature range, eliminating need for external backup controllers |
| Direct TTL interface | No level-shifting required: VIH/VIL thresholds and VOH/VOL drive strength match 74LS family, simplifying integration into legacy 5V backplanes |
| Hermetic ceramic DIP packaging | CD28 600-mil package provides zero moisture ingress, CTE matching to PCB substrates, and radiation tolerance for aerospace use |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5962-8866101XA | 35ns max access time, same 32K×8 organization and CD28 package, identical MIL-STD-883 Class B screening | Suitable for systems requiring tighter timing margins (e.g., 28MHz bus clocks) but less tolerant of voltage droop below 4.5V | Select when system timing budget allows <35ns latency and power supply regulation is tighter than ±10% |
| 5962-9211901MXA | 128K×8 organization (1Mbit), 55ns access, same military temp range and CDIP package, but higher ICC active current (150mA vs. 135mA) | Applicable where larger memory footprint is needed per chip, such as radar pulse compression buffers or image preprocessing pipelines | Choose when memory density >256K is required and 55ns latency is acceptable in the signal chain |
Compared with 5962-8866101XA, 5962-8866201XA trades 10ns slower access for broader voltage margin and lower standby power; versus 5962-9211901MXA, it delivers higher density efficiency (256K in same footprint) and lower dynamic power for compact, thermally constrained modules.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range certified for 5962-8866201XA?
5962-8866201XA is fully qualified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C per MIL-STD-883 Class B testing. This includes thermal cycling, steady-state life, and hermeticity validation - making it suitable for jet engine-mounted electronics, missile seekers, and space-qualified payloads where ambient extremes exceed commercial or industrial grade limits.
Does 5962-8866201XA support true battery backup operation below 5V?
Yes, 5962-8866201XA supports guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0V across its full military temperature range, with ICCDR ≤ 800μA. This enables direct connection to lithium thionyl chloride or nickel-metal hydride backup cells without external regulators or supervisors - a key differentiator from commercial SRAMs that lose data below 4.5V.
Is 5962-8866201XA pin-compatible with other IDT 71256 variants?
Yes, 5962-8866201XA shares identical 28-pin CD28 pinout with all IDT 71256S/L military variants (e.g., 5962-8866101XA, 5962-8866301XA). Address, data, control, and power pins map one-to-one - enabling drop-in replacement across speed grades (25–100ns) and power types (S/L) without PCB redesign.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby modes in 5962-8866201XA?
5962-8866201XA offers two standby modes: ISB activates when CS rises above VIH (2.2V), drawing ≤20mA; ISB1 engages when CS exceeds VHC (VCC – 0.2V ≈ 4.8V), reducing current to ≤1.5mA. ISB1 requires tighter CS voltage control but delivers 13× lower power - ideal for battery-limited hold states in portable defense systems.
Can 5962-8866201XA be used in new designs despite its legacy status?
Yes, 5962-8866201XA remains actively supported by Renesas with documented availability, obsolescence monitoring, and full MIL-STD-883 requalification history. Its continued production and traceable sourcing through Aetrix Electronics make it viable for long-lifecycle defense, aerospace, and nuclear instrumentation programs where qualification pedigree outweighs process node advancement.
