Product details
Overview
The 6116SA55DB from Renesas Electronics is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 55 ns 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, consumes ≤50 mA active current and ≤45 mA standby current (TTL-level), and is housed in a 24-pin 600 mil ceramic DIP (CD24) package. It serves as non-volatile data buffer in avionics control modules requiring deterministic timing and radiation-tolerant memory.
For engineers reviewing the 6116SA55DB datasheet, 6116SA55DB pinout, 6116SA55DB application, or 6116SA55DB equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 55 ns read cycle time under military temperature extremes, CMOS-level standby current of 10 mA, TTL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), and ceramic DIP packaging for hermetic reliability in harsh environments.
Technical Context
This device implements fully static asynchronous architecture-no clocks or refresh required-with independent chip select (CS), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls enabling flexible bus interfacing. Its address decoder drives a 128 × 128 memory array, supporting single-cycle read/write operations with tRC = 55 ns and tWC = 55 ns.
Power management includes dual standby modes: TTL-level (ISB = 45 mA max) and CMOS-level (ISB1 = 10 mA max), activated by CS > VIH. The SA variant lacks battery backup; data retention requires continuous VCC ≥ 4.5 V, distinguishing it from LA-series parts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8-bit (16,384 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 55 ns max at VCC = 5.0 V ±10%, TA = –55°C to +125°C |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 55 ns max, defines minimum interval between successive reads |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS systems |
| Operating Current (ICC1) | 130 mA max - determines system power budget during active read/write |
| Standby Current (ISB) | 45 mA max (TTL-level CS), enables low-power hold mode without external circuitry |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-level: VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V - direct connection to 74LS/ALS logic |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin 600 mil ceramic dual in-line package (CD24), hermetically sealed, MIL-STD-883 Class B qualified.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus selecting one of 2K locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CS or OE inactive |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; forces standby mode when HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for read data output; does not affect write path |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal qualifying write cycles; overlaps with CS LOW |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; must be decoupled locally per MIL-STD-883 requirements |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground; separate grounding recommended for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully static operation | No clock, no refresh - simplifies timing design and eliminates dynamic power spikes |
| MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance | Qualified for military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) and mechanical shock/vibration |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interface with legacy 74LS/ALS families without level-shifting circuitry |
| Dual standby power modes | Reduces system power by >95% vs active mode; CMOS-level ISB1 = 10 mA enables ultra-low-hold states |
| Ceramic DIP packaging | Hermetic seal prevents moisture ingress and ensures long-term reliability in aerospace deployments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6116SA55TDB | Same speed grade (55 ns), same military temp range, but uses 24-pin 300 mil ceramic DIP (SD24) instead of 600 mil CD24 | SD24 has smaller footprint and lower thermal mass; less suitable for high-power dissipation scenarios | Select 6116SA55TDB only if PCB layout constraints require compact ceramic DIP or thermal profile permits reduced package size |
| 6116LA55DB | Same package (CD24) and speed (55 ns), but LA variant adds 2 V data retention and 0.1–0.9 mA CMOS standby current | LA supports battery-backed hold mode; SA requires continuous VCC ≥ 4.5 V for data retention | Choose 6116LA55DB when system-level battery backup is implemented; otherwise 6116SA55DB offers lower cost and simpler power design |
Compared with 6116SA55TDB, the 6116SA55DB provides higher thermal mass and mechanical robustness in the 600 mil CD24 package; compared with 6116LA55DB, it eliminates battery interface complexity and reduces standby power control overhead at the cost of non-volatile retention capability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the 6116SA55DB?
The 6116SA55DB is rated for –55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-STD-883 Class B environmental qualification. This full military temperature range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and supported by AC/DC electrical characteristics tested across that span. No derating is required within this range, and the 55 ns access time is guaranteed at both extremes.
Does the 6116SA55DB support battery backup operation?
No, the 6116SA55DB does not support battery backup. Only the LA variant (e.g., 6116LA55DB) provides 2 V data retention capability. The SA version requires continuous VCC ≥ 4.5 V to maintain data integrity; applying 2 V to VCC will not retain memory contents and may violate absolute maximum ratings.
What package type is used for the 6116SA55DB?
The 6116SA55DB uses a 24-pin 600 mil ceramic dual in-line package (CD24), as explicitly listed in the Orderable Part Information table. This hermetically sealed ceramic DIP meets MIL-STD-883 mechanical and environmental test requirements and differs from the 300 mil SD24 variant used in 6116SA55TDB.
Is the 6116SA55DB pin-compatible with other 6116 variants?
Yes, all 6116SA/LA variants-including 6116SA55DB-share identical 24-pin pinout and function mapping per the Pin Description table. Address (A0–A10), data (I/O0–I/O7), and control (CS, OE, WE, VCC, GND) assignments are consistent across SA/LA, speed grades, and CD24/SD24/PSG24 packages.
What is the maximum allowable supply voltage for the 6116SA55DB?
The absolute maximum supply voltage (VTERM) for the 6116SA55DB is +7.0 V, but the recommended operating range is 4.5 V to 5.5 V (VCC = 5.0 V ±10%). Exceeding 5.5 V risks violating DC electrical specifications and may accelerate parametric drift over temperature and lifetime, especially under military-grade stress conditions.
