Product details
Overview
5962-8866205XA from Renesas Electronics is a military-grade 256K (32K × 8-bit) CMOS static RAM with 25ns access time, 5V ±10% supply, and full MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance for operation from –55°C to +125°C. It features TTL-compatible I/O, battery-backed data retention at 2V, and low-power standby current of 20mA (standard) or 3mA (low-power variant). Used in avionics mission computers requiring deterministic timing and radiation-tolerant memory.
For engineers reviewing the 5962-8866205XA datasheet, 5962-8866205XA pinout, 5962-8866205XA application, or 5962-8866205XA equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature qualification, 25ns read cycle time, ceramic DIP package compatibility, and CS-controlled power-down behavior in harsh-environment embedded systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully decoded 15-bit address space (A0–A14) driving a 262,144-bit SRAM array with bidirectional 8-bit data bus (I/O0–I/O7). Chip select (CS) directly controls both functional enable and automatic transition into TTL-level standby mode when asserted high.
Write operations are controlled by combined CS and WE logic, with OE enabling output drivers during reads. The architecture supports two distinct standby modes: ISB (TTL-level CS high, 20mA typical) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS high, 1.5mA typical), both preserving data without external refresh.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256Kbit (32K × 8-bit) - provides byte-wide addressing for legacy 8-bit microprocessor buses without data multiplexing. |
| Access Time | 25ns max (tAA, tACS) - guarantees deterministic read latency under worst-case military temperature and voltage conditions. |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy military power distribution systems. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B for sustained operation in jet engine bays and space-qualified chassis. |
| Standby Current | 20mA max (ISB), 1.5mA max (ISB1) - enables system-level power budgeting during dormant phases in battery-constrained platforms. |
| Data Retention | 2V minimum VCC - allows retention from backup lithium battery during main power loss in flight-critical systems. |
| Package | 28-pin 600-mil ceramic DIP (CD28) - hermetically sealed, leaded package with proven reliability in high-vibration, high-humidity environments. |
Pinout & Package
5962-8866205XA is supplied in a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic dual-in-line package (CD28), compliant with MIL-PRF-38535 and screened to QML-V requirements. The package provides hermetic sealing, gold-plated leads, and thermal performance suitable for conduction-cooled military chassis.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit parallel address bus accepting TTL-compatible levels; fully decoded to select one of 32,768 memory locations. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tristate I/O lines with 8mA sink capability; direction controlled by CS/WE/OE state per read/write cycle definition. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable controlling both memory access and automatic entry into low-power standby when high. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal qualifying write cycles; latches input data on falling edge when CS is also low. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers; decouples data bus during reads only when CS is active. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% primary supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; supports data retention down to 2V. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; requires low-inductance connection to maintain noise margin in EMI-prone platforms. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-STD-883 Class B Qualification | Full screening including burn-in, mechanical shock, vibration, and temperature cycling - ensures field reliability in defense electronics. |
| Two-Mode Standby Power Control | ISB (20mA) and ISB1 (1.5mA) modes selectable via CS logic threshold - enables dynamic power scaling based on system activity state. |
| TTL-Compatible Interface | VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max - interoperates directly with legacy 5V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Battery Backup Data Retention | Operates at 2V VCC with ≤500μA ICCDR - sustains memory contents from auxiliary battery during main power failure in avionics black boxes. |
| Hermetic Ceramic DIP Packaging | CD28 footprint with glass-sealed leads - prevents moisture ingress and corrosion in humid tropical or salt-laden maritime deployments. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-reliability SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5962-8957201XA | Same 32K×8 organization but 35ns access time; identical CD28 package and MIL-STD-883 Class B screening. | Lower speed grade suitable for non-critical subsystems where 35ns latency is acceptable, e.g., environmental monitoring modules. | Select when system timing budget permits relaxed access time and cost optimization is prioritized over peak performance. |
| 5962-9213201XA | 256Kbit density but 28-pin SOJ (PJG28) package; same 25ns speed and military temp range; lacks hermetic seal. | Used in space-constrained designs where PCB area is limited but full hermeticity is not mandated by platform spec. | Choose only if board layout constraints prohibit DIP footprints and environmental testing confirms SOJ reliability in target deployment. |
Compared with 5962-8866205XA, 5962-8957201XA trades 10ns speed for broader availability and lower cost in legacy programs, while 5962-9213201XA sacrifices hermetic packaging for higher board density-neither offers pin-to-pin compatibility due to differing package types and thermal expansion profiles.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range certified for the 5962-8866205XA?
The 5962-8866205XA is fully qualified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C per MIL-STD-883 Class B requirements. This range is verified through temperature cycling, steady-state burn-in, and parametric testing at extremes, making it suitable for engine-mounted avionics and desert-deployed communications gear where ambient thermal stress exceeds commercial or industrial specifications.
Does the 5962-8866205XA support true battery backup operation below 5V?
Yes, the 5962-8866205XA supports guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0V with ICCDR ≤ 500μA, as specified in Table 11 of the Renesas datasheet. This enables direct connection to lithium thionyl chloride or lithium manganese dioxide backup cells without regulation, preserving memory contents during main power loss in flight data recorders and emergency beacons.
Is the 5962-8866205XA pin-compatible with commercial-grade IDT71256L25DB?
No, the 5962-8866205XA is not pin-compatible with IDT71256L25DB. While both share the CD28 600-mil ceramic DIP package and identical pinout numbering, the 5962-8866205XA incorporates additional MIL-STD-883 screening layers, tighter parameter tolerances, and different internal test structures that preclude drop-in substitution without revalidation per DO-254 or IEC 61508.
What is the standby current consumption of the 5962-8866205XA in full CMOS-level standby mode?
In full CMOS-level standby mode (ISB1), where CS > VHC and f = 0, the 5962-8866205XA consumes ≤1.5mA typical at VCC = 5.5V, as documented in Table 8 of the Renesas datasheet. This ultra-low standby state is activated automatically when CS exceeds the CMOS high threshold, enabling deep power savings in intermittently active military subsystems.
Can the 5962-8866205XA be used in new designs despite its legacy status?
Yes, the 5962-8866205XA remains actively supported by Renesas for new designs requiring MIL-STD-883 Class B qualified SRAM. Its inclusion in Renesas' long-term product continuity program ensures availability through 2030+, with full documentation, test reports, and obsolescence notifications provided to registered defense contractors and aerospace integrators.
