Product details
Overview
71256S35DB from Renesas is a military-grade 256K (32K × 8-bit) CMOS static RAM with 35ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and 5V ±10% supply operation across –55°C to +125°C. It features automatic low-power standby mode upon chip select deassertion and supports battery backup data retention at 2V for the L variant - though 71256S35DB is the standard-power military version in 600-mil ceramic DIP. It serves as main memory or buffer in avionics, radar processors, and hardened embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 71256S35DB datasheet, 71256S35DB pinout, 71256S35DB application, or 71256S35DB equivalent, key selection criteria include its MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance, 35ns read cycle time, 28-pin CDIP package, industrial/military temperature support, and compatibility with legacy 5V TTL bus systems requiring deterministic static RAM timing.
Technical Context
The 71256S35DB implements a full CMOS static memory array with asynchronous parallel interface, using address decoding logic that enables single-cycle random-access reads/writes without clocks or refresh. Its control architecture relies on three independent active-low enables: CS (chip select), WE (write enable), and OE (output enable), supporting both CS-controlled and WE-controlled write cycles per JEDEC-standard SRAM timing conventions.
It operates exclusively in 5V ±10% supply with TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max) and delivers guaranteed 35ns address access time (tAA), 35ns read cycle time (tRC), and 35ns write cycle time (tWC) under military temperature conditions (–55°C to +125°C). Standby current is 20mA (ISB) when CS is high, distinguishing it from the low-power 71256L variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256Kbit (32K × 8-bit) - provides byte-wide data path compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers and legacy bus architectures. |
| Access Time | 35ns max (tAA, tACS) - ensures deterministic read latency for real-time military control loops and signal processing buffers. |
| Supply Voltage | 5V ±10% - matches standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no level-shifting required in legacy 5V systems. |
| Operating Temp | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B for deployment in airborne, missile, and ground vehicle electronics. |
| Package | 28-pin 600-mil ceramic DIP (CD28) - hermetically sealed, high-reliability package suitable for harsh-environment PCB mounting. |
| Standby Current | 20mA (ISB) - power consumption during CS-high standby; higher than L-version but optimized for speed/stability trade-off. |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input and TTL-output compatible - interoperable with 74LS, 74F, and other 5V logic families without interface buffers. |
Pinout & Package
71256S35DB is housed in a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP, code CD28), featuring hermetic sealing and lead finish suitable for military soldering profiles and long-term reliability in thermal-cycling environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767; fully decoded internally to select one of 32K bytes. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CS high or OE high during read, or WE high during write. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low global enable; drives device into low-power standby (ISB = 20mA) when high. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle when CS and WE both low; controls data latching timing. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; enables data drivers only during read cycles; prevents bus contention. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V ±10% main supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise immunity in high-speed operation. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-STD-883 Class B Compliance | Fully tested to military screening standards including burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity - essential for flight-critical and defense electronics qualification. |
| Asynchronous Parallel Interface | No clock required; timing governed solely by CS/WE/OE setup/hold relationships - simplifies integration with FPGA, ASIC, or microcontroller address/data buses. |
| 35ns Military-Speed Operation | Guaranteed tAA/tRC ≤35ns over full –55°C to +125°C range - enables real-time buffering in radar pulse processing and telemetry acquisition. |
| TTL-Compatible Signaling | VIH ≥2.2V, VIL ≤0.8V, VOH ≥2.4V, VOL ≤0.4V - eliminates need for level translators in legacy 5V systems. |
| Automatic Standby Mode | CS-high triggers immediate transition to ISB = 20mA state - reduces system power during idle intervals without software intervention. |
Applications
| Avionics Data Buffering | Radar Signal Processing Memory |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 71256S35TDB | Same speed (35ns), same military temp grade, but 300-mil SOJ (SD28) package instead of 600-mil CDIP. | Used where board space is constrained and surface-mount assembly is preferred; lacks hermetic seal of ceramic DIP. | Select 71256S35TDB for compact PCB layouts; choose 71256S35DB for maximum environmental robustness and through-hole reliability. |
| 71256S25DB | Faster 25ns access time, identical military spec, same CD28 package - higher performance at increased power and cost. | Suitable for next-generation systems requiring tighter timing margins or higher sustained bandwidth. | Choose 71256S25DB if system timing budget requires <35ns latency; otherwise 71256S35DB offers optimal cost/performance balance for legacy-compliant designs. |
Compared with 71256S35TDB, the 71256S35DB offers superior mechanical ruggedness and hermetic reliability in vibration-prone platforms, while compared with 71256S25DB it trades 10ns latency for lower cost and proven stability in fielded military hardware.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the 71256S35DB?
The 71256S35DB is rated for –55°C to +125°C operation and is fully qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B screening requirements. This range is validated across all AC and DC electrical parameters, including 35ns access time and 20mA standby current, ensuring reliable functionality in extreme environmental conditions encountered in defense and aerospace platforms.
Does the 71256S35DB support battery backup data retention?
No, the 71256S35DB is the standard-power (S) variant and does not provide battery backup data retention. That feature is exclusive to the low-power (L) versions such as 71256L35DB, which specify 2V data retention and sub-5μW standby current. The 71256S35DB draws 20mA in standby (ISB) and requires continuous 5V supply for data retention.
What package type is used for the 71256S35DB?
The 71256S35DB uses a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP), identified by package code CD28. This hermetically sealed package provides superior moisture resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical robustness compared to plastic or SOJ variants - critical for long-term reliability in military deployments.
Is the 71256S35DB pin-compatible with other members of the 71256 family?
Yes, all 71256S and 71256L variants share identical 28-pin pinout and functional assignment (A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CS, WE, OE, VCC, GND), regardless of speed grade or package. This allows direct substitution between 71256S25DB, 71256S35DB, and 71256S45DB in the same CDIP footprint, provided timing and power requirements are met.
What is the maximum power dissipation specification for the 71256S35DB?
The 71256S35DB has a maximum power dissipation rating of 1.0W, as defined in its Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Under typical operation at 5V and 35ns access, dynamic current (ICC) is 135mA max, yielding ~675mW typical power - well within the 1.0W limit, even at maximum junction temperature.
