Product details
Overview
6116LA55TDB from Renesas Electronics is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) low-power CMOS static RAM with 55 ns access time, industrial-grade ceramic DIP-24 packaging, and 2 V data retention capability. It operates across –55°C to +125°C, supports TTL-compatible I/O, requires no refresh or clock, and delivers standby current as low as 0.1 mA for battery-backed systems in avionics and military control units.
For engineers reviewing the 6116LA55TDB datasheet, 6116LA55TDB pinout, 6116LA55TDB application, or 6116LA55TDB equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature compliance, sub-1 µA data retention current at 2 V, ceramic DIP-24 mechanical robustness, and compatibility with legacy 6116-family address/data bus architectures.
Technical Context
This device implements fully static asynchronous operation using high-reliability CMOS technology, eliminating alpha-particle soft-error susceptibility. Its dual-mode power management includes TTL-level standby (ISB = 40 mA max) and CMOS-level full standby (ISB1 = 0.1–0.9 mA), triggered by CS > VHC.
The memory array is organized as 128 × 128, with address decoding and I/O control logic integrated on-die. All timing parameters-including tAA (55 ns), tRC (55 ns), tOE (25 ns), and tWHZ (5 ns)-are guaranteed over the full military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) per MIL-STD-883 Class B.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16,384 bits (2K × 8), enabling byte-wide data access without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 55 ns max at VCC = 5.0 V ±10%, ensuring deterministic read latency in hard real-time control loops |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min (LA version only), allowing direct connection to backup coin-cell batteries without regulation |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 0.1 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V, supporting multi-year battery life in unpowered storage mode |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C, qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B for deployment in engine bays and radar subsystems |
| Package | Ceramic DIP-24 (SD24), providing hermetic sealing and thermal stability under thermal shock |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-compatible inputs/outputs, enabling direct interface with legacy 74LS and 74F logic families |
Pinout & Package
6116LA55TDB is housed in a 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP), designated SD24 per Renesas ordering nomenclature. The package features 300-mil body width, through-hole mounting, and hermetic ceramic construction for high-reliability environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus accepting 0–2047 row/column select; no latching required due to static architecture |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance during standby or when CS = HIGH |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable controlling both active operation and CMOS-level standby entry (ISB1) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal gating write cycles; must be LOW concurrently with CS for valid write |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers; enables tristate behavior independent of WE |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0 V ±10% supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling required per MIL-STD-883 |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling in mixed-signal boards |

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 | 3.3 V supply, 10 ns access, 256K × 16 organization, TQFP-44 package | Higher density and speed but incompatible voltage and pinout; requires PCB redesign and level translation | Select only when migrating to 3.3 V systems with increased memory depth and faster timing budgets |
| AS6C4008-55PCN | 5 V supply, 55 ns access, 512K × 8 organization, PDIP-28 package | Larger capacity and same speed grade but larger footprint and higher active current (ICC1 = 45 mA vs. 85 mA) | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where board space permits larger DIP and higher power is acceptable |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range certified for the 6116LA55TDB?
The 6116LA55TDB is certified for operation from –55°C to +125°C and complies with MIL-STD-883 Class B environmental testing requirements. This rating is explicitly confirmed in the Renesas datasheet revision dated July 17, 2020, and applies to the SD24 ceramic DIP package variant. No derating is required within this full range.
Does the 6116LA55TDB support true data retention at 2 V, and what is the typical current draw in that mode?
Yes, the 6116LA55TDB supports guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V minimum. Per the datasheet's "Data Retention Characteristics" table, typical data retention current (ICCDR) is 0.5 µA at 2.0 V and 25°C, with a maximum of 200 µA across the full military temperature range. This enables direct coin-cell backup without regulation.
Is the 6116LA55TDB pin-compatible with other 6116-series variants such as the 6116SA55TDB?
Yes, the 6116LA55TDB shares identical pinout, package (SD24 ceramic DIP-24), and functional interface with all 6116SA/LA variants, including the 6116SA55TDB. Both use the same address/data/control signal mapping and electrical interface-only power consumption and retention capability differ between LA (low-power) and SA (standard-power) versions.
What is the guaranteed read cycle time (tRC) for the 6116LA55TDB, and how does it relate to access time?
The guaranteed read cycle time (tRC) for the 6116LA55TDB is 55 ns maximum, matching its tAA (address access time). This means the device supports consecutive reads at up to 18.2 MHz (1/55 ns) without wait states, provided address setup/hold and CS/OE timing constraints are met per the AC Electrical Characteristics table.
Can the 6116LA55TDB be used in new designs, or is it marked as obsolete?
The 6116LA55TDB remains actively supported by Renesas for legacy and long-lifecycle programs. While earlier revisions carried "Not recommended for new designs" (removed February 2001), the July 2020 datasheet rebranding confirms continued availability and qualification-particularly for defense and aerospace applications requiring MIL-STD-883 compliance and hermetic packaging.
