Product details
Overview
71256L35YG from Renesas is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) low-power CMOS static RAM with 35ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and 2V battery-backed data retention. It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), uses 5V ±10% supply, and supports standby current as low as 3μA in full CMOS-level standby mode. It serves as nonvolatile buffer memory in legacy industrial controllers requiring reliable power-loss resilience.
For engineers reviewing the 71256L35YG datasheet, 71256L35YG pinout, 71256L35YG application, or 71256L35YG equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 35ns read cycle timing, SOJ-28 package compatibility, battery-retention voltage margin at 2.0V, and MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance path for ruggedized upgrades.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully decoded 15-bit address space (A0–A14) driving a 262,144-bit SRAM array with bidirectional 8-bit data bus (I/O0–I/O7). Control logic uses three independent enables - CS (chip select), WE (write enable), and OE (output enable) - to manage read/write/standby states with precise timing windows defined per AC table.
It features dual standby modes: TTL-level standby (ISB = 3mA max) when CS > VIH, and full CMOS-level standby (ISB1 = 1.5μA typ.) when CS > VHC. Data retention at 2V is guaranteed across commercial temperature range, with tCDR = 0ns and tR = 0ns recovery upon VCC restoration.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), fixed parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 35ns max - defines minimum address-to-valid-data delay in active read cycles |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0V ±10% - requires stable 4.5–5.5V rail; no 3.3V operation supported |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 1.5μA typ. at VCC = 5.5V - enables ultra-low-power hold during system sleep |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min - sustains stored data without refresh when main VCC fails |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial grade; not rated for industrial (–40°C) or military (–55°C) ranges |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.2V, VIL = 0.8V) and output drive (VOL = 0.4V @ 8mA) |
Pinout & Package
71256L35YG is supplied in a 28-pin 300-mil SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead) package, pin-compatible with industry-standard 28-pin SOJ footprint. Lead finish is lead-free (RoHS-compliant), and body material is plastic with gull-wing J-leads for surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit unidirectional address bus; fully decoded to select one of 32,768 locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit shared data path; high-impedance when CS HIGH or OE/WE inactive |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; drives device into TTL-level standby (ISB) when HIGH, CMOS-level standby (ISB1) when > VHC |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control for write cycles; must be LOW concurrently with CS LOW to initiate write |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for read output drivers; does not affect write or standby behavior |
| VCC | Power Supply | Primary 5V supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling required per layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return for all signals and power; must be low-impedance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery backup data retention | Operates down to 2.0V VCC with typical ICCDR = 120μA - enables seamless failover to backup battery without data loss |
| Dual standby power modes | ISB = 3mA (TTL-level) and ISB1 = 1.5μA (CMOS-level) - selectable via CS voltage threshold for optimal system power budgeting |
| TTL-compatible interface | VIH = 2.2V min, VOL = 0.4V max @ 8mA - interoperable with legacy 5V microcontrollers and bus transceivers without level shifters |
| High noise immunity | VIL = 0.8V max, VIH = 2.2V min with 0.4V noise margin - robust against EMI in industrial control cabinets |
| Green packaging option | Lead-free, halogen-free SOJ construction - meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-35SCN | 35ns access, 5V-only, 28-pin SOJ, but no battery retention - ICCDR undefined below 4.5V | Lacks 2V data retention; unsuitable for battery-backup designs | Select only if system has continuous 5V supply and no brownout risk |
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 10ns access, 3.3V supply, 44-pin TSOP - higher speed but incompatible voltage and package | Requires level-shifting and board rework; not pin-compatible | Choose for new 3.3V designs needing faster throughput, not for 71256L35YG replacement |
Compared with AS6C4008-35SCN and IS61LV25616AL-10TLI, the 71256L35YG uniquely delivers verified 2V data retention in a drop-in SOJ-28 footprint, making it irreplaceable in legacy 5V systems requiring fail-safe memory hold without hardware modification.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for data retention in the 71256L35YG?
The 71256L35YG guarantees data retention down to 2.0V VCC across its commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). At this voltage, typical data retention current is 120μA, and chip deselect-to-retention time (tCDR) is 0ns - meaning retention begins immediately upon CS going HIGH under 2V conditions. This specification is validated per Table 11 in the Renesas datasheet.
Does the 71256L35YG support industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C)?
No, the 71256L35YG is specified only for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). Industrial-grade variants exist under different orderable part numbers - for example, 71256L35YGI and 71256L35YGI8 - which are explicitly marked with "I" suffix and qualified for –40°C to +85°C operation per the Ordering Information table on page 10 of the datasheet.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby current in the 71256L35YG?
ISB (20mA max) activates when CS exceeds VIH (≥2.2V), placing the device in TTL-level standby. ISB1 (1.5μA typ.) engages only when CS exceeds VHC (VCC – 0.2V), enabling ultra-low-power CMOS-level standby. For 5V operation, VHC ≈ 4.8V - so ISB1 requires tighter CS voltage control but reduces standby current by >99% compared to ISB.
Can the 71256L35YG be used as a direct replacement for the 71256S35YG?
Yes, the 71256L35YG is pin-compatible and functionally identical to the 71256S35YG in read/write timing and interface logic, but offers lower power: ISB1 = 1.5μA vs ISB = 20mA, and data retention at 2V. No PCB changes are needed; however, system firmware must ensure CS voltage reaches VHC to activate full low-power mode.
Is the 71256L35YG RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 71256L35YG is a green part meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS709E standards. Its SOJ-28 package uses lead-free matte tin plating and halogen-free molding compound, as confirmed in the "Green parts available" section (page 1) and Ordering Information notes (page 9) of the Renesas datasheet.
