Product details
Overview
71256S45DB from Renesas is a military-grade 256K (32K × 8-bit) CMOS static RAM with 45ns maximum address access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and full MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance for operation from –55°C to +125°C. It features low-power standby mode (20mA ISB), 5V ±10% supply, and ceramic DIP packaging - deployed in avionics data buffers, radar memory modules, and hardened telemetry systems.
For engineers reviewing the 71256S45DB datasheet, 71256S45DB pinout, 71256S45DB application, or 71256S45DB equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature qualification, 45ns read/write timing under worst-case conditions, CS-controlled power-down behavior, and compatibility with legacy 28-pin DIP board layouts requiring high-reliability SRAM.
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 data bus (I/O0–I/O7). Its control architecture uses three independent active-low enables: CS (chip select), WE (write enable), and OE (output enable), supporting both CS- and WE-controlled write cycles per AC Table 12.
Power management relies on hierarchical standby: when CS goes HIGH, the device enters TTL-level standby (ISB = 20mA max); at CMOS-level CS deassertion (VHC), it achieves full standby (ISB1 = 20mA max). No battery backup function is implemented - that capability is exclusive to L-suffix variants (e.g., 71256L45DB).
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-reliability SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 71256S45TDB | Same speed grade and military temp range, but 300-mil SOJ (SD28) package instead of 600-mil CDIP | Requires PCB redesign for surface-mount assembly; lacks hermetic seal of ceramic DIP | Select when board space constraints favor SOJ or reflow assembly is required |
| 71256S55DB | Slower 55ns access time, otherwise identical CD28 package, MIL-STD-883 Class B, and electrical specs | Suitable for less timing-critical subsystems where margin allows relaxed cycle timing | Select when system timing budget permits longer tAA and cost reduction is prioritized |
Compared with 71256S45DB, 71256S45TDB offers identical timing and qualification in a smaller SOJ footprint but sacrifices hermeticity and through-hole serviceability, while 71256S55DB trades 10ns performance for broader timing margin and potential cost savings in non-critical paths.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 71256S45DB?
The 71256S45DB is rated for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C and is fully qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B, including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and steady-state bias testing across this full military temperature range. This specification is explicitly confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables of the Renesas datasheet revision Aug.06.20.
Does the 71256S45DB support battery backup or data retention below 5V?
No, the 71256S45DB does not support battery backup or low-voltage data retention. That functionality is exclusive to L-suffix variants such as 71256L45DB, which specify 2V data retention and microamp-level standby current. The 71256S45DB is a standard-power part with ISB = 20mA minimum and requires stable 5V ±10% supply for all operational modes, including standby.
Is the 71256S45DB pin-compatible with other members of the 71256S family?
Yes, all 71256S variants - including 71256S25DB, 71256S35DB, and 71256S45DB - share identical pinout, package footprint (CD28), and functional interface. Differences are limited to guaranteed access time (tAA), power consumption profiles, and associated AC timing parameters; no PCB layout change is required when upgrading or downgrading speed grades within the S-series.
What package type does the 71256S45DB use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The 71256S45DB uses a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CD28), designated in Renesas ordering information as "DB". Per the Aug.06.20 datasheet, green (lead-free/RoHS-compliant) versions are available - see ordering code suffix "Y" variants (e.g., 71256S45DBY) for RoHS-compliant manufacturing, though base 71256S45DB remains standard-lead unless explicitly ordered with green suffix.
Can the 71256S45DB be used in commercial or industrial temperature applications?
No - the 71256S45DB is exclusively specified and screened for military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) and MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance. Commercial and industrial variants exist (e.g., 71256S25YG for industrial), but they carry different orderable part numbers, package codes, and qualification documentation. Using 71256S45DB outside its rated military range voids guaranteed specifications and reliability warranties.
