Product details
Overview
71256L25TDB from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) low-power CMOS static RAM with 25ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and battery-backed data retention at 2V. It operates across the military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), features automatic standby mode on chip select high, and is packaged in a 28-pin 300-mil ceramic DIP (SD28) for high-reliability embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the 71256L25TDB datasheet, 71256L25TDB pinout, 71256L25TDB application, or 71256L25TDB equivalent, key selection criteria include military-grade timing consistency, sub-5μW standby power, 2V data retention capability, and MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance - critical for avionics, defense computing, and ruggedized control units.
Technical Context
The 71256L25TDB implements a full CMOS static memory architecture with asynchronous parallel interface, supporting independent read/write cycles via separate WE, OE, and CS controls. Its dual standby modes - TTL-level (ISB) and CMOS-level (ISB1) - deliver 3mA and 1.5mA supply current respectively at VCC = 5.5V, enabling system-level power optimization without clock gating.
Timing is defined by strict AC parameters including tAA ≤ 25ns, tACS ≤ 25ns, and tRC ≤ 25ns under military conditions (–55°C to +125°C), with guaranteed tCHZ ≤ 15ns and tOHZ ≤ 15ns for clean bus release. Data retention at 2V is validated across all temperature grades, with ICCDR ≤ 120μA at 3.0V and ≤ 800μA at 2.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | ≤25ns max at –55°C to +125°C - ensures deterministic timing in real-time military firmware |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of rail droop |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 1.5mA max at VCC = 5.5V - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during processor sleep |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min - supports backup from single LiSOCl₂ or primary lithium cells |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-level - interfaces directly with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIO without level shifters |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B for mission-critical environments |
Pinout & Package
71256L25TDB is housed in a 28-pin 300-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CERDIP, SD28), hermetically sealed for moisture resistance and thermal stability in harsh environments. Pin layout follows industry-standard 28-pin DIP footprint with 0.3-inch width and 0.1-inch lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus for full 32K-word decoding; CMOS inputs with VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when CS or OE inactive |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; drives device into ISB1 standby (1.5mA) when held >VHC |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write control; concurrent LOW CS+WE initiates write cycle (tWP ≥ 20ns) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; controls data bus drive without affecting internal state |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply pin; decoupling required within 0.5 inch for noise immunity |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground; must be low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery backup data retention | Operates down to 2.0V with ICCDR ≤ 120μA at 3.0V - enables years of SRAM state hold on primary cell |
| Two-tier standby power management | ISB = 3mA (TTL CS), ISB1 = 1.5mA (CMOS CS) - selectable via system-level voltage threshold design |
| MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification | Fully tested per mechanical shock, temperature cycling, and burn-in protocols - certified for flight-critical hardware |
| Direct TTL compatibility | No external level translation needed for 74-series or legacy microprocessor buses - reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Hermetic ceramic DIP packaging | SD28 300-mil CERDIP - provides superior moisture barrier and thermal conductivity vs. plastic packages |

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 | 3.3V-only supply, 10ns access, 44-pin TSOP - no military temp or 2V retention | Commercial industrial control; unsuitable for 5V legacy buses or battery backup | Select only for new 3.3V designs requiring higher speed and lower cost |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 5V operation, 25ns access, 28-pin SOJ - commercial temp only (0°C to +70°C), no MIL-STD-883 | Cost-sensitive test equipment; lacks environmental ruggedness and long-term data retention | Use where military qualification and extended temperature are not required |
Compared with 71256L25TDB, IS61LV25616AL-10TLI offers faster access but requires full 3.3V redesign and forfeits battery backup; AS6C4008-25ZIN matches speed and voltage but lacks military qualification, making it inappropriate for field-deployed defense systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 71256L25TDB?
The 71256L25TDB is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C and is fully qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B, including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and steady-state life testing. This makes the 71256L25TDB appropriate for engine-mounted avionics, missile guidance sections, and other high-thermal-stress environments where commercial or industrial grade parts would fail.
Does the 71256L25TDB support true battery backup operation below 5V?
Yes - the 71256L25TDB guarantees data retention at VCC = 2.0V minimum, with typical ICCDR of 120μA at 3.0V and ≤800μA at 2.0V. This allows direct connection to a single 2V lithium thionyl chloride (LiSOCl₂) cell for multi-year memory hold without regulators or charge pumps, a capability confirmed in Renesas datasheet Table 11.
Is the 71256L25TDB pin-compatible with other members of the 71256 family?
Yes - the 71256L25TDB shares identical pinout, package (SD28), and functional interface with all 71256S/L variants in 28-pin DIP format, including 71256S25TDB and 71256L35TDB. Address, data, and control signals map identically; only timing parameters and power characteristics differ between S (standard) and L (low-power) versions.
What is the standby current consumption of the 71256L25TDB under full CMOS-level disable?
When CS is driven above VHC (VCC – 0.2V), the 71256L25TDB enters full standby mode (ISB1) drawing ≤1.5mA at VCC = 5.5V, as specified in Renesas datasheet Table 8. This is distinct from TTL-level standby (ISB = ≤3mA), and requires precise voltage threshold control on the CS line to achieve minimum power.
Can the 71256L25TDB be used in new designs despite its legacy status?
Yes - although originally introduced by IDT and later rebranded by Renesas, the 71256L25TDB remains actively supported with documented availability, traceable sourcing, and lifecycle coordination. Its MIL-STD-883 qualification, hermetic packaging, and 2V retention make it irreplaceable for sustaining engineering of deployed military platforms where redesign is prohibited or cost-prohibitive.
