Product details
Overview
The 6116SA90DB from Renesas Electronics is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 90ns 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 ≤50mA active current and ≤45mA standby current (TTL level), and is packaged in a 24-pin 600mil ceramic DIP (CD24) for harsh-environment avionics and defense systems.
For engineers reviewing the 6116SA90DB datasheet, 6116SA90DB pinout, 6116SA90DB application, or 6116SA90DB equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, military temperature validation, DC/AC electrical specs, pin-level functional roles, and direct alternatives for legacy SRAM replacement in radiation-tolerant or long-lifecycle embedded designs.
Technical Context
This device implements fully static asynchronous operation-no clocks or refresh required-and uses advanced CMOS technology to eliminate alpha-particle soft-error susceptibility. Its control logic supports three distinct operational modes (standby, read, write) governed by CS, OE, and WE inputs, with automatic transition to low-power standby when CS is HIGH.
The memory array is organized as 128 × 128 bits, with address decoding covering A0–A10 (11-bit addressing). All I/Os are bidirectional and directly TTL-compatible, enabling seamless integration into legacy 5V microprocessor buses without level-shifting circuitry.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6116SA70DB | 70ns max access time (20ns faster), same CD24 package and MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance | Suitable where tighter timing margins are required in high-throughput guidance loops | Select when system timing budget demands sub-90ns read cycles without changing PCB layout or thermal management |
| 6116LA90DB | Same 90ns speed and CD24 package, but LA variant offers 0.1mA full-standby current (vs. 45mA TTL standby) | Preferred for battery-backed or ultra-low-power dormant modes in portable defense electronics | Choose when extended data retention at 2V or micropower sleep states are mandatory, accepting identical active power draw |
Compared with 6116SA90DB, 6116SA70DB delivers higher performance in timing-critical subsystems, while 6116LA90DB trades active-mode current headroom for orders-of-magnitude lower standby consumption-both retain identical pinout, military qualification, and 5V TTL interface.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 6116SA90DB?
The 6116SA90DB is rated for –55°C to +125°C operation, validated per MIL-STD-883 Class B requirements. This range is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and supported by DC/AC characterization across the full military temperature span. The 6116SA90DB's ceramic DIP package ensures thermal stability under sustained high-temperature bias conditions typical in engine bays or sealed avionics enclosures.
Does the 6116SA90DB require external refresh circuitry?
No, the 6116SA90DB is a fully static RAM and requires no clocks or refresh signals. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied and CS remains LOW during active use. This eliminates refresh overhead in microprocessor systems and avoids timing conflicts on shared address/data buses-key for deterministic real-time applications using the 6116SA90DB.
What is the pin-compatible alternative to the 6116SA90DB with lower standby power?
The 6116LA90DB is pin-compatible with the 6116SA90DB and shares identical CD24 packaging, 90ns speed grade, and MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification. Its key distinction is full-CMOS standby mode (ISB1 = 0.1mA), reducing quiescent draw by >99% versus the 6116SA90DB's TTL-level standby (45mA). Both parts use identical pinout and logic thresholds, enabling drop-in substitution where micropower retention is prioritized.
Can the 6116SA90DB interface directly with a 5V TTL microprocessor bus?
Yes, the 6116SA90DB features fully TTL-compatible inputs and outputs: VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max, VOH = 2.4V min at –4mA, and VOL = 0.4V max at 8mA. These specifications match standard 5V TTL logic families (e.g., 74LS, 74F), allowing direct connection to address/data/control lines of 8085, Z80, or 68000 derivatives without level-shifting components-verified in the DC Electrical Characteristics tables for the 6116SA90DB.
Is the 6116SA90DB supplied in a hermetically sealed package?
Yes, the 6116SA90DB uses a 24-pin 600mil ceramic dual in-line package (CD24), which is hermetically sealed per MIL-STD-883 requirements. This construction provides immunity to moisture ingress, thermal shock, and outgassing-critical for long-duration deployment in vacuum or high-humidity military environments. The CD24 package is explicitly listed in the Orderable Part Information table for the 6116SA90DB.
