Product details
Overview
6116LA70DB from Renesas Electronics is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) CMOS static RAM with military-grade temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), 70ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and battery-backed data retention at 2V. It operates without clocks or refresh and supports standby power mode via chip select. Used in avionics, defense systems, and ruggedized industrial controllers requiring nonvolatile SRAM persistence.
For engineers reviewing the 6116LA70DB datasheet, 6116LA70DB pinout, 6116LA70DB application, or 6116LA70DB equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade reliability, 2V data retention capability, ceramic DIP-24 packaging, low standby current (0.1mA typical), and compatibility with legacy 5V TTL bus architectures.
Technical Context
The 6116LA70DB implements fully static asynchronous operation using high-reliability CMOS technology, eliminating refresh circuitry and clock dependencies. Its control logic uses independent CS, OE, and WE inputs to manage read/write cycles and high-impedance I/O states, with timing governed by tRC (70ns), tAA (70ns), and tOE (25ns).
It features dual standby modes: TTL-level (ISB = 35mA max) and CMOS-level (ISB1 = 0.1mA typical), activated by CS voltage thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VHC = VCC – 0.2V). Data retention at 2V is exclusive to the LA variant and validated across the full military temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8-bit (16,384 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 70ns max - defines minimum address-to-data-valid delay in read cycles |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0V ±10% - compatible with standard 5V TTL logic rails |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min - enables low-power battery backup without external regulators |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 0.1mA typical - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during system sleep |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B for mission-critical environments |
| Package | Ceramic 24-pin DIP (CD24) - hermetically sealed, high-reliability, leaded through-hole |
Pinout & Package
6116LA70DB is housed in a 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CD24), 600-mil width, with industry-standard pin spacing and hermetic sealing for harsh-environment reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus selecting one of 2K memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path for read/write operations; high-impedance when disabled |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; forces device into standby (ISB1) when HIGH |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control for write cycles; latches data on falling edge with CS LOW |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for read output drivers; disables outputs when HIGH |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply input; decoupling required per MIL-STD-883 layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference; separate grounding recommended for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6116SA70DB | Same CD24 package and 70ns speed, but SA version lacks 2V data retention and draws higher standby current (35mA vs. 0.1mA) | Suitable for non-battery-backed systems where cost or availability outweighs low-power needs | Select only if battery backup is unnecessary and legacy SA stock is preferred |
| IS61LV256AL-70TLLI | 3.3V-only operation, SOIC-28 package, 256K × 8 organization - not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign | Targets modern low-voltage embedded systems with larger memory footprint and surface-mount assembly | Choose only for new designs migrating to 3.3V architecture and higher density |
Compared with 6116LA70DB, 6116SA70DB offers identical speed and packaging but sacrifices battery retention and ultra-low standby power; IS61LV256AL-70TLLI provides greater capacity and lower voltage operation but demands board-level redesign and lacks military qualification.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 6116LA70DB?
The 6116LA70DB is rated for –55°C to +125°C operation and is fully qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B. This specification is verified across all electrical parameters in the datasheet, including access time, standby current, and data retention, making it suitable for deployment in jet engine bays, missile guidance sections, and desert-deployed field equipment.
Does the 6116LA70DB require an external clock or refresh signal?
No, the 6116LA70DB is a fully static RAM and requires no clock or refresh signals. Its internal CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as VCC remains within specification and CS is asserted appropriately. This simplifies system design by eliminating refresh timing constraints and associated controller logic.
Can the 6116LA70DB retain data at 2V, and under what conditions?
Yes, the 6116LA70DB supports data retention at 2.0V minimum VCC, a feature exclusive to the LA variant. Retention is guaranteed across the full military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) with typical ICCDR ≤ 0.5µA, enabling direct connection to lithium or silver-oxide coin cells without regulation.
Is the 6116LA70DB pin-compatible with other 6116 variants like the 6116SA70DB?
Yes, the 6116LA70DB shares identical pinout, package (CD24), and functional interface with the 6116SA70DB. However, the LA version adds 2V data retention and reduces standby current by >99% - both enhancements are backward-compatible and require no PCB changes.
What package type does the 6116LA70DB use, and why is it significant?
The 6116LA70DB uses a 24-pin ceramic DIP (CD24) package. This hermetically sealed, through-hole package provides superior moisture resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical robustness compared to plastic DIP or SOIC - essential for long-life deployments in high-humidity, high-vibration, or thermally cycled environments such as naval radar systems or satellite launch vehicles.
