Product details
Overview
6116SA150DB from Renesas Electronics is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 150ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and military-grade reliability compliant to MIL-STD-883 Class B. It operates across –55°C to +125°C, requires no refresh or clock, and draws only 45mA active current and 10mA standby current at VCC = 5.0V. It serves as nonvolatile data buffer in avionics control modules where deterministic timing and radiation-tolerant operation are critical.
For engineers reviewing the 6116SA150DB datasheet, 6116SA150DB pinout, 6116SA150DB application, or 6116SA150DB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, military temperature validation, ceramic DIP-24 package details, functional truth table behavior, and direct alternatives for legacy system sustainment and obsolescence mitigation.
Technical Context
The 6116SA150DB implements fully static asynchronous architecture with three-state bidirectional I/O lines controlled by independent Chip Select (CS), Output Enable (OE), and Write Enable (WE) inputs. Its address decoding uses a 128 × 128 memory array with CMOS process technology that eliminates alpha-particle soft errors.
It supports two distinct operational modes: active read/write (CS = LOW, OE/WE configured per cycle) and TTL-level standby (CS = HIGH, outputs high-impedance, ICC2 = 45mA max). Data retention is not supported - only the LA variant offers 2V battery backup; the SA variant is standard-power only.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8-bit (16,384 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 150ns max - guarantees deterministic read latency under worst-case military temperature and voltage conditions |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V–5.5V - compatible with standard 5V TTL logic rails without level shifting |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - validated for airborne and ground-based military platforms per MIL-STD-883 |
| Active Current (ICC1) | 45mA max at VCC = 5.5V - defines power budget for sustained read/write cycles |
| Standby Current (ISB) | 10mA max at VCC = 5.5V - enables low-power sleep during CS-inactive periods |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4V, VOL ≤ 0.4V @ 8mA/–4mA) - interoperable with legacy 5V microcontrollers and bus controllers |
Pinout & Package
6116SA150DB is supplied in a 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP) with 600-mil body width (package code CD24), suitable for high-reliability PCB mounting and hermetic sealing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus selecting one of 2,048 memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CS = HIGH or OE = HIGH during read |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; forces device into standby (high-Z I/O) when HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for read data output; does not affect write operations |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal initiating write cycle; latches data on falling edge when CS = LOW |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply pin; must be decoupled locally to suppress switching noise |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No refresh required | Fully static CMOS design eliminates need for external refresh circuitry or timing-critical DRAM controllers |
| MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance | Qualified for military applications including screening, burn-in, and environmental stress testing per specification |
| Alpha-particle immunity | CMOS fabrication process inherently suppresses single-event upsets (SEUs), critical for aerospace systems |
| TTL-compatible signaling | Direct interface with legacy 5V microprocessors (e.g., 8085, Z80) and peripheral ICs without level translators |
| Three-state output control | Independent OE and CS pins allow flexible bus arbitration and multi-drop memory subsystem designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6116LA150DB | Same speed (150ns), same CDIP-24 package, but LA variant offers 2V data retention and lower standby current (0.9mA vs. 10mA) | Required where battery-backed data hold during main power loss is mandatory (e.g., secure boot parameter storage) | Select 6116LA150DB only if data retention capability is needed; otherwise 6116SA150DB provides higher noise margin and simpler power design |
| IS61C256AL-15NLI | 256K-bit (32K × 8), 15ns access, SOIC-28, commercial temp only (–40°C to +85°C), not MIL-qualified | Used in cost-sensitive industrial controllers where density and speed outweigh military qualification needs | Choose IS61C256AL-15NLI only for new designs targeting higher density and faster access; not suitable for legacy military board replacements due to pinout and qualification mismatch |
Compared with 6116LA150DB, the 6116SA150DB trades data retention for tighter DC noise margins and simplified power sequencing; compared with IS61C256AL-15NLI, it sacrifices speed and density to maintain drop-in compatibility with legacy military PCBs and meet MIL-STD-883 screening requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range certified for the 6116SA150DB?
The 6116SA150DB is certified for operation from –55°C to +125°C and qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B. This rating is explicitly confirmed in the Renesas datasheet's Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables, and applies to the CD24 ceramic DIP package variant. No derating is required within this full range.
Does the 6116SA150DB support battery backup data retention?
No, the 6116SA150DB does not support battery backup data retention. Only the LA variant (e.g., 6116LA150DB) specifies 2V data retention voltage and microamp-level retention current. The SA suffix denotes Standard Power, and its datasheet shows no data retention characteristics - all DC and AC parameters assume VCC = 4.5–5.5V active operation.
Is the 6116SA150DB pin-compatible with other 6116-series variants in CDIP-24 packages?
Yes, the 6116SA150DB is pin-compatible with all other 6116SA and 6116LA variants offered in the CD24 (600-mil ceramic DIP) package, including 6116SA20DB and 6116LA150DB. Pin functions, numbering, and electrical behavior match identically - only speed grade, power class, and temperature screening differ. Board-level replacement is electrically valid.
What is the standby current consumption of the 6116SA150DB under TTL-level disable?
The 6116SA150DB consumes a maximum of 10mA in TTL-level standby mode (ISB), defined as CS > VIH with outputs open and VCC = 5.5V. This value is specified in Table 8 of the Renesas datasheet under "6116SA150DB" column for "ISB" parameter. It reflects worst-case current draw during full temperature and voltage extremes.
Can the 6116SA150DB be used with modern 3.3V microcontrollers?
No, the 6116SA150DB is strictly a 5V-only device with TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH min = 2.2V, VIL max = 0.8V) and no 3.3V tolerance. Driving its inputs from a 3.3V MCU violates the absolute maximum rating of VIN ≤ VCC + 0.5V (i.e., ≤5.5V), but more critically, VOH/VOL specs assume 5V VCC. Level translation is mandatory for safe interfacing.
