Product details
Overview
The 6116LA25DB from Renesas Electronics is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) low-power CMOS static RAM with 25ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and battery-backed data retention at 2V. It operates across the military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), uses no refresh or clocks, and is housed in a 24-pin ceramic DIP (CD24) package. It serves as nonvolatile scratchpad memory in avionics control modules requiring high-reliability, low-quiescent-power operation.
For engineers reviewing the 6116LA25DB datasheet, 6116LA25DB pinout, 6116LA25DB application, or 6116LA25DB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 2V data retention capability, military-grade temperature compliance, standby current of 0.1mA (typical), and compatibility with legacy 5V TTL bus systems without level shifting.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully static asynchronous architecture with dual-control write enable (WE) and chip select (CS), enabling both WE-controlled and CS-controlled write cycles. Its internal 128 × 128 memory array is decoded via address inputs A0–A10, supporting direct byte-wide interfacing with 8-bit microcontrollers and peripheral controllers.
Power management relies on TTL-level and CMOS-level standby modes: ISB = 40mA (max) when CS > VIH, and ISB1 = 0.1mA (typ) when CS > VHC and inputs are held at valid logic levels - critical for battery-backed hold mode in mission-critical systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8-bit (16,384 bits), byte-accessible with no word alignment constraints |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25ns max - guarantees read data validity within 25ns after address stabilization, enabling tight timing with 30MHz+ CPU buses |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min - maintains stored data during brownout or backup battery operation without external regulators |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 0.1mA typical at VCC = 5V - enables multi-year battery life in maintenance-free field-deployed systems |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B for airborne and space-qualified platforms |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.2V, VIL = 0.8V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4V @ –4mA, VOL ≤ 0.4V @ 8mA) |
| Package | 24-pin ceramic DIP (CD24), 600-mil width - hermetically sealed, moisture-resistant, and suitable for high-reliability PCB assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CD24), 600-mil body width, through-hole mounting, hermetic seal.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus accepting 0–2047 to select one of 2K memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when CS = HIGH or OE = HIGH during reads |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; drives device into full standby (ISB1) when HIGH, isolates memory from bus |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control for write cycles; latches data on falling edge when CS is also LOW |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for read output drivers; allows multiplexed bus sharing without external tri-state logic |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V ±10% supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; supports 2V retention when dropped |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise in high-speed access |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery backup data retention | Operates down to 2.0V VCC with ICCDR ≤ 0.5µA (typ), eliminating need for external SRAM backup controllers |
| Zero-refresh static architecture | No clocks, timers, or external refresh circuitry required - reduces system complexity and EMI sources |
| MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance | Qualified for military applications including vibration, shock, thermal cycling, and hermeticity testing |
| Two-tier standby power modes | ISB = 40mA (TTL-level CS) and ISB1 = 0.1mA (CMOS-level CS) - selectable based on system wake latency requirements |
| Alpha-particle soft-error immunity | CMOS process minimizes single-event upsets - critical for avionics and satellite subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 3.3V-only supply, 10ns access, SOJ-44 package, no 2V retention | Requires voltage translation for 5V TTL systems; unsuitable for battery backup | Select only if migrating to 3.3V system architecture and higher speed is mandatory |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 5V supply, 25ns access, industrial temp (–40°C to +85°C), plastic SOIC-28 | Lacks military qualification and 2V retention; lower reliability in harsh environments | Acceptable for commercial/industrial cost-sensitive designs where MIL-spec is not required |

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required to retain data in the 6116LA25DB?
The 6116LA25DB guarantees data retention down to 2.0V VCC across its full military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C). At 2V, typical data retention current (ICCDR) is 0.5µA, enabling multi-year operation from primary lithium batteries. This specification is exclusive to the LA version and is verified per the datasheet's Data Retention Characteristics table.
Does the 6116LA25DB require a clock or refresh signal?
No, the 6116LA25DB is a fully static RAM and requires neither a clock nor periodic refresh cycles. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as VCC remains above 2.0V and operating specifications are met. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead in microcontroller or FPGA-based systems.
What package type is used for the 6116LA25DB?
The 6116LA25DB is supplied in a 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CD24), 600-mil width, with through-hole leads. This hermetically sealed package meets MIL-STD-883 Class B requirements and provides superior moisture resistance, thermal stability, and long-term reliability compared to plastic DIP or SOIC variants.
Can the 6116LA25DB interface directly with 5V TTL logic?
Yes, the 6116LA25DB features fully TTL-compatible inputs and outputs: VIH = 2.2V (min), VIL = 0.8V (max), VOH ≥ 2.4V (at –4mA), and VOL ≤ 0.4V (at 8mA). No level-shifting circuitry is needed when connecting to standard 5V TTL microcontrollers, FPGAs, or peripheral ICs.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 6116LA25DB?
The 6116LA25DB is rated for the military temperature range of –55°C to +125°C and is compliant with MIL-STD-883, Class B. This qualification includes environmental stress screening, thermal cycling, and hermeticity testing - confirming suitability for deployment in jet engines, missile guidance systems, and orbital platforms.
