Product details
Overview
71256L45DB from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) low-power CMOS static RAM with military-grade reliability, 45ns maximum access time, 2V data retention capability, and compliance with MIL-STD-883 Class B. It operates across –55°C to +125°C and delivers 1.5mA standby current in full CMOS-level standby mode, serving as nonvolatile memory backup in avionics and ruggedized control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 71256L45DB datasheet, 71256L45DB pinout, 71256L45DB application, or 71256L45DB equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature support, battery-backed data retention at 2V, TTL-compatible I/O, ceramic DIP packaging, and verified 45ns read/write timing under worst-case conditions.
Technical Context
The 71256L45DB implements a fully static memory array with asynchronous parallel interface, using high-reliability CMOS process technology. Its dual standby modes-TTL-level (ISB = 3mA) and CMOS-level (ISB1 = 1.5mA)-are triggered by chip select (CS) logic level, enabling system-level power optimization without external control logic.
It supports WE-controlled and CS-controlled write cycles with defined setup/hold timing (tAS = 0ns, tDH = 0ns), features TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max), and guarantees data retention down to 2.0V supply while drawing ≤800μA ICCDR across all military temperatures.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 71256S45DB | Standard-power variant (ISB1 = 20mA vs. 1.5mA); identical timing, package, and temperature rating | Lacks 2V data retention; requires regulated 5V supply only | Select when lowest standby power is not required and system already provides stable 5V rail |
| IS61LV256AL-10TLI | 3.3V-only supply (3.0–3.6V), 10ns access, SOJ-28; no MIL-STD-883 qualification or 2V retention | Designed for commercial/industrial embedded systems, not military environments | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-military designs requiring faster access and lower voltage operation |
Compared with 71256S45DB, the 71256L45DB reduces standby current by 93% enabling true battery backup; compared with IS61LV256AL-10TLI, it trades speed and voltage flexibility for MIL-qualified reliability and 2V retention-critical for unregulated, long-duration, high-stress deployments.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for data retention in the 71256L45DB?
The 71256L45DB guarantees data retention down to 2.0V across its full military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C). This allows direct connection to unregulated 2V lithium backup cells without voltage regulation circuitry, simplifying design and improving system-level reliability during main power loss.
Does the 71256L45DB support both WE-controlled and CS-controlled write operations?
Yes, the 71256L45DB supports both WE-controlled and CS-controlled write cycles as defined in its timing waveforms. The device accepts writes when CS and WE are simultaneously low, with precise setup/hold requirements (tAS = 0ns, tDH = 0ns) validated across all military temperatures.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby current specifications for the 71256L45DB?
ISB (20mA max) activates when CS exceeds VIH (≥2.2V), providing TTL-level standby; ISB1 (1.5mA max) activates when CS exceeds VHC (VCC – 0.2V), delivering deeper CMOS-level power savings. Designers select based on system logic family and wake-up latency tolerance.
Is the 71256L45DB pin-compatible with the 71256S45DB?
Yes, the 71256L45DB and 71256S45DB share identical pinout, package (CD28 ceramic DIP), and AC/DC electrical specifications except for standby current and data retention voltage. They are functionally interchangeable in hardware layouts, though firmware may require adjustment for power management behavior.
What packaging and screening options are available for the 71256L45DB?
The 71256L45DB is supplied in a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic DIP (CD28) and is screened to MIL-STD-883 Class B, including tests for thermal cycling, mechanical shock, vibration, and hermeticity. It is not offered in plastic packages or commercial temperature grades.
