Product details
Overview
71256L25YG8 from Renesas is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) low-power CMOS static RAM with 25ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and battery-backed data retention down to 2V. It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), supports full standby mode (1.5mA typical), and is packaged in 28-pin 300-mil SOJ for high-density board layouts - used in legacy industrial controllers and avionics subsystems requiring nonvolatile SRAM hold.
For engineers reviewing the 71256L25YG8 datasheet, 71256L25YG8 pinout, 71256L25YG8 application, or 71256L25YG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25ns military-grade timing margin, 5μW battery-retention current at 2V, TTL-level interface compatibility, SOJ-28 footprint, and MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance for ruggedized systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully decoded 15-bit address space (A0–A14) driving a 32K × 8-bit memory array with asynchronous read/write control via CS, WE, and OE. Its dual standby modes - TTL-level (ISB = 3mA) and CMOS-level (ISB1 = 1.5mA) - are triggered by chip select voltage thresholds (VIH/VHC), enabling precise power-state management in mixed-signal systems.
The 71256L25YG8 uses true CMOS circuitry with input/output buffers designed for direct TTL interfacing (VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max), and features guaranteed data retention at VCC ≥ 2.0V with ICCDR ≤ 120μA (typ.) - a critical capability for battery-backed real-time clocks and configuration storage in power-fail scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), single-port asynchronous SRAM |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25ns max - defines minimum address-to-valid-data delay in read cycles |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0V ± 10% (4.5–5.5V) - compatible with standard TTL logic rails |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min - enables operation from backup coin cell without regulator |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 1.5mA max at VCC = 5.5V - ultra-low power state when CS > VHC |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial grade, validated per Renesas specification |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input and TTL-output - eliminates level-shifter requirements in 5V systems |
Pinout & Package
71256L25YG8 is housed in a 28-pin SOJ (Small Outline J-lead) package with 300-mil body width and J-bend leads - optimized for surface-mount assembly and thermal reliability in compact enclosures.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit binary address bus selecting one of 32K memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface supporting simultaneous read/write data transfer |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable controlling device activation and automatic standby entry |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal gating write operations; high = read or high-Z state |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers - independent of WE for read gating |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply pin; decoupling required within 10mm for stable 25ns timing |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return path; must be low-impedance plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-power standby mode | 1.5mA max ISB1 current at VCC = 5.5V - reduces system power budget during idle |
| Battery backup retention | Operates at 2.0V with ≤120μA ICCDR - enables years of data hold on CR2032 cells |
| TTL-compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max - interoperable with legacy 74LS/ALS logic without translators |
| MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance | Qualified for military temperature range (−55°C to +125°C) - ensures reliability in extended environments |
| SOJ-28 packaging | 300-mil body with J-leads - provides mechanical robustness and thermal cycling endurance vs. gull-wing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256LN-25ZSXIT | 25ns access, 32K × 8, SOJ-28, but requires 5V only (no 2V retention) | Lacks battery backup capability - unsuitable for fail-safe data hold | Select when pure speed and cost matter more than retention voltage margin |
| AS6C4008-25TIN | 25ns, 512K × 8, TSSOP-32 - double density but different pinout and voltage range (2.7–3.6V) | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign and logic-level translation | Choose for higher density in new 3.3V designs - not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with 71256L25YG8, CY62256LN-25ZSXIT offers identical speed and package but no 2V retention, while AS6C4008-25TIN delivers greater capacity at lower voltage yet demands layout and interface changes - making 71256L25YG8 uniquely suited for legacy 5V systems needing guaranteed battery-backed operation.

The 71256L25YG8 guarantees a maximum address access time (tAA) of 25ns across the commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), as specified in Renesas' AC Electrical Characteristics table for the L-version at 25ns speed grade - measured under VCC = 5.0V ± 10% and load conditions per JEDEC standards.
Does the 71256L25YG8 support true battery backup operation below 5V?
Yes, the 71256L25YG8 supports true battery backup operation down to 2.0V (VDR), retaining stored data with ICCDR ≤ 120μA typical - confirmed in Renesas' Data Retention Characteristics table (Table 11). This enables direct connection to 2V lithium coin cells without regulation.
Is the 71256L25YG8 pin-compatible with the 71256S25YG8?
No - while both share the same SOJ-28 package and pinout, the 71256L25YG8 (low-power version) and 71256S25YG8 (standard-power version) differ in standby current (1.5mA vs. 20mA) and data retention capability (2V vs. none), but pin functions and physical layout are identical per Renesas Pin Configurations diagram.
What is the operating temperature range certified for the 71256L25YG8?
The 71256L25YG8 is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C, as explicitly stated in Renesas' Recommended Operating Conditions table (Table 5) and Orderable Part Information - though the underlying die is MIL-STD-883 Class B qualified for −55°C to +125°C.
Can the 71256L25YG8 be used in systems requiring TTL-level signaling?
Yes, the 71256L25YG8 features fully TTL-compatible inputs and outputs: VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max, VOL = 0.4V max at 8mA, and VOH = 2.4V min at –4mA - allowing direct interface with 74LS, 74ALS, and other 5V TTL families without level shifters.
