Product details
Overview
6116LA120TDB from Renesas Electronics is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) low-power CMOS static RAM with 120ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and battery backup data retention down to 2V. It operates across military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), features automatic standby mode on chip select high, and is housed in a 24-pin ceramic DIP (SD24) package. Used in avionics control modules requiring non-refreshed memory with extended data hold.
For engineers reviewing the 6116LA120TDB datasheet, 6116LA120TDB pinout, 6116LA120TDB application, or 6116LA120TDB equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability, 2V data retention capability, 120ns read cycle timing, CMOS-level standby current of 0.1mA, and compatibility with legacy 5V TTL bus systems.
Technical Context
This device implements fully static asynchronous architecture-no clocks or refresh cycles required. Its control logic uses CS/WE/OE three-state decoding to manage read, write, and high-impedance modes, with tRC = 120ns and tAA = 120ns guaranteed over full military temperature range.
The LA variant integrates optimized power gating: ISB1 (full CMOS standby) draws only 0.1mA at VCC = 5.5V, and data retention current (ICCDR) is 0.5μA typical at 2.0V, enabling operation from backup batteries in mission-critical holdover scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16,384 bits (2K × 8), sufficient for small real-time firmware stacks or sensor buffer storage |
| Access Time (tAA) | 120ns max at –55°C to +125°C - defines minimum CPU wait state insertion |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min - enables direct connection to lithium thionyl chloride or coin-cell backup without regulator |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 0.1mA max at VCC = 5.5V - reduces system quiescent power by >95% vs active mode |
| Operating Voltage | 4.5V–5.5V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and legacy industrial power supplies |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level inputs (VIH = 2.2V, VIL = 0.8V) - interfaces directly with 74LS/ALS families without level shifters |
| Package | 24-pin ceramic DIP (SD24), 300-mil width - supports through-hole mounting in ruggedized military PCBs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CERDIP), SD24 footprint per Renesas ordering code, 300-mil body width, hermetically sealed for MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance.

|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus (2K depth); driven by microcontroller or FPGA address lines |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; high-impedance when CS high or during write setup/hold |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; forces full standby (ISB1) when HIGH, critical for power sequencing |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls data latch timing per tWP = 120ns min |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; separates read path from bus contention in multi-device systems |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply pin; decoupling capacitor required within 10mm per MIL-STD-883 layout guidelines |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 6116LA120TDB?
The 6116LA120TDB is rated for the military temperature range of –55°C to +125°C, verified per MIL-STD-883 Class B testing. This specification applies across all guaranteed AC and DC parameters including tAA = 120ns, ISB1 = 0.1mA, and VDR = 2.0V. The SD24 ceramic package contributes to thermal stability in high-temperature avionics enclosures where plastic packages would degrade.
Does the 6116LA120TDB require external refresh circuitry?
No, the 6116LA120TDB is a fully static RAM and requires no clocks or refresh cycles. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as VCC remains within 4.5V–5.5V or falls to ≥2.0V in battery backup mode. This eliminates refresh controllers, timing generators, and associated PCB routing-reducing design complexity and failure points in safety-critical systems using the 6116LA120TDB.
What is the significance of the 'TDB' suffix in 6116LA120TDB?
The 'TDB' suffix in 6116LA120TDB denotes the SD24 package type: 24-pin ceramic DIP with 300-mil width and hermetic seal. Per Renesas ordering documentation, 'TDB' specifically identifies the military-grade ceramic DIP variant compliant with MIL-STD-883 Class B, distinguishing it from plastic DIP ('TPG') and SOIC ('SOG') versions. This package ensures mechanical robustness and moisture resistance essential for the 6116LA120TDB's target applications.
Can the 6116LA120TDB operate from a 2V backup supply without data loss?
Yes, the 6116LA120TDB guarantees data retention at VCC = 2.0V minimum, drawing only 0.5μA typical (up to 200μA max) in this mode. This allows direct connection to primary lithium batteries (e.g., LiSOCl₂) or supercapacitors without regulation. The 6116LA120TDB maintains stored contents for years under these conditions, making it ideal for cold-spare and fail-safe holdover functions in defense electronics.
Is the 6116LA120TDB pin-compatible with other 6116-series variants?
Yes, all 6116SA/LA variants-including 6116LA120TDB-share identical 24-pin SD24 pinout, address/data/control signal assignments, and electrical interface behavior. Differences are limited to speed grade (120ns), power profile (LA vs SA), and temperature grading (military). Thus, the 6116LA120TDB can replace faster or commercial-grade 6116 parts in existing layouts without PCB modification, provided timing margins accommodate the 120ns access.
