Product details
Overview
71256L70DB from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) low-power CMOS static RAM with military-grade reliability, 70 ns access time, 5 V supply, and –55°C to +125°C operating range. It features battery backup data retention at 2 V, TTL-compatible I/O, and automatic standby mode triggered by chip select high. Used in avionics control modules requiring nonvolatile SRAM with radiation-tolerant timing stability.
For engineers reviewing the 71256L70DB datasheet, 71256L70DB pinout, 71256L70DB application, or 71256L70DB equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature compliance, 2 V data retention capability, 70 ns read cycle time under full military grade conditions, and ceramic DIP package mechanical robustness for high-vibration environments.
Technical Context
The 71256L70DB implements a fully static memory array with asynchronous parallel interface, using high-reliability CMOS process qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B. Its control logic supports CS/WE/OE three-strobe operation with separate read and write timing paths, and automatic transition to low-power standby when CS is deasserted.
It delivers 70 ns address access time (tAA), 70 ns read cycle time (tRC), and 70 ns write cycle time (tWC) across the full –55°C to +125°C range. Standby current is 1.5 mA typical at VCC = 5.5 V, and data retention draws only 800 µA max at 2.0 V - enabling long-term backup without external regulators.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 70 ns max over –55°C to +125°C - guarantees deterministic read latency in real-time flight control systems |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% (4.5–5.5 V) - compatible with standard military 5 V power rails |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - enables direct connection to backup lithium battery without voltage regulation |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 1.5 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V, CMOS-level CS - reduces system idle power by >95% vs active mode |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B for deployment in engine-mounted or space-constrained avionics |
| Package Type | 28-pin 600 mil ceramic DIP (CD28) - hermetically sealed, leaded, high thermal mass for thermal shock resistance |
Pinout & Package
71256L70DB is housed in a 28-pin 600 mil ceramic dual in-line package (CD28), featuring hermetic sealing, gold-plated leads, and MIL-STD-883-compliant construction for extended life in harsh environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word decoding; TTL-compatible thresholds ensure noise margin in noisy platforms |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path with 3-state outputs; supports simultaneous read/write handshaking via OE/WE |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; drives device into 1.5 mA standby mode when high - critical for power-gating in multi-SRAM systems |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls write cycle timing (tWP ≥ 45 ns) and disables outputs during write to prevent bus contention |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; allows multiplexed bus sharing without external transceivers |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling required within 10 mm due to fast switching currents (ICC = 115 mA typ.) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; must be connected to low-impedance plane to maintain 0.4 V VOL under 10 mA load |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification | Fully tested per Method 5005, 5007, 5011 - ensures reliability in launch vibration, thermal cycling, and radiation-prone aerospace deployments |
| Low-power standby mode | 1.5 mA ISB1 at VCC = 5.5 V - enables >10× reduction in quiescent power vs active operation for dormant subsystems |
| TTL-compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - interoperable with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters |
| Hermetic ceramic DIP packaging | CD28 footprint (600 mil width) with glass-sealed leads - prevents moisture ingress and provides superior thermal dissipation vs plastic packages |

Is the 71256L70DB pin-compatible with other members of the 71256 family?
Yes - the 71256L70DB shares identical pinout and package (CD28) with all 71256S/L variants in 600 mil ceramic DIP, including 71256S70DB and 71256L55DB. Signal assignments, power/ground locations, and timing control logic are functionally identical; only speed grade and power class differ.
What package type does the 71256L70DB use, and why is it significant?
The 71256L70DB uses a 28-pin 600 mil ceramic DIP (CD28) package.
