Product details
Overview
71256L35DB from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) low-power CMOS static RAM with military-grade reliability, 35ns maximum access time, 2V data retention capability, and compliance with MIL-STD-883 Class B. It serves as non-volatile SRAM buffer in avionics control units requiring deterministic timing and battery-backed memory persistence during power loss.
For engineers reviewing the 71256L35DB datasheet, 71256L35DB pinout, 71256L35DB application, or 71256L35DB equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C), ceramic DIP package compatibility, TTL-level I/O interface, and standby current of 3mA at VCC = 5.5V.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully decoded 15-bit address space (A0–A14) driving a 262,144-bit memory array with bidirectional 8-bit I/O (I/O0–I/O7). Chip Select (CS), Write Enable (WE), and Output Enable (OE) provide three-level control for read/write/standby state transitions.
Its dual standby modes-TTL-level (ISB = 3mA) and CMOS-level (ISB1 = 1.5mA)-are triggered by CS logic level, enabling system-level power optimization without external sequencing. Data retention at 2V is guaranteed across full military temperature range.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 3.3V-only supply, 10ns access, 44-pin TSOP-II package | Lacks military temp rating and 2V retention; suited for commercial embedded systems | Select only if migrating to 3.3V architecture and waiving MIL-STD-883 requirements |
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI | 5V supply, 45ns access, SOIC-28 package, no 2V retention | Industrial temp only (–40°C to +85°C); lower cost but unqualified for airborne use | Acceptable for ground-based test equipment where hermeticity and extended temp are not required |
Compared with 71256L35DB, IS61LV25616AL-10TLI offers faster speed but mandates voltage redesign and forfeits military qualification, while CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI trades access time and environmental robustness for lower procurement cost in non-safety-critical roles.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 71256L35DB?
The 71256L35DB is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C, meeting MIL-STD-883 Class B environmental screening requirements for airborne and ground vehicle platforms. This range is validated across all AC and DC electrical parameters in the datasheet, including 35ns access time and 3mA standby current.
Does the 71256L35DB support true battery backup operation?
Yes, the 71256L35DB supports true battery backup: it retains stored data at VCC as low as 2.0V across its full military temperature range, consuming only 5μW typical in this mode. No external circuitry is needed-the device automatically enters retention mode when VCC drops below operational threshold.
Is the 71256L35DB pin-compatible with other members of the 71256 family?
Yes, the 71256L35DB shares identical pinout and footprint with all 71256S/L variants in the CD28 (600-mil ceramic DIP) package, including 71256S25DB, 71256L25DB, and 71256S35DB. Signal assignments, power pins, and timing control logic are functionally identical across speed grades and power variants.
What package type does the 71256L35DB use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The 71256L35DB uses a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CD28), which is hermetically sealed and MIL-STD-883 qualified. Per Renesas' ordering information, "Green" versions are available-these meet RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and are marked with "G" suffix in orderable part numbers.
How does the standby power consumption of the 71256L35DB compare to standard SRAMs?
The 71256L35DB draws just 3mA in TTL-level standby (ISB) and 1.5mA in CMOS-level standby (ISB1), representing >97% reduction versus its active current of 115mA. This is achieved through internal power-gating architecture activated solely by CS high, eliminating need for external sleep controllers.
