Product details
Overview
71256S70DB from Renesas is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) high-speed CMOS static RAM with military-grade reliability, 70 ns maximum access time, 5 V ±10% supply, and –55°C to +125°C operating range. It features TTL-compatible I/O, battery-backed data retention (2 V), and automatic low-power standby mode triggered by chip select. Used in avionics, radar signal buffering, and hardened embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 71256S70DB datasheet, 71256S70DB pinout, 71256S70DB application, or 71256S70DB equivalent, key selection criteria include military temperature compliance (MIL-STD-883 Class B), ceramic DIP package mechanical robustness, CS-controlled power-down behavior, and verified 70 ns read/write timing under full military thermal stress.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully decoded 15-bit address space (A0–A14) driving a 32K × 8-bit memory array with synchronous read/write control via WE, OE, and CS. Its dual standby modes-TTL-level (ISB = 20 mA) and CMOS-level (ISB1 = 20 mA)-are activated solely by CS logic level, eliminating external power management logic.
The 71256S70DB uses standard CMOS I/O circuitry with VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max, VOL = 0.4 V at 8 mA, and VOH = 2.4 V at –4 mA, ensuring direct interface with legacy TTL and mixed-signal systems without level-shifting. All AC parameters-including tAA, tACS, tRC, and tWC-are guaranteed across the full –55°C to +125°C range per MIL-STD-883 Class B test flow.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 71256S70TDB | Same speed grade and S-version functionality, but in 300 mil SD28 ceramic DIP package | Smaller footprint; lower thermal mass; less robust against mechanical shock | Select when board space is constrained and vibration exposure is moderate |
| 71256L70DB | L-version offers 2 V battery backup (5 μW standby) and identical 70 ns timing, but higher ISB1 (1.5 mA) | Enables non-volatile data retention during main power loss-critical for black-box logging | Select when data persistence during brownout or battery-switchover is required |
Compared with 71256S70DB, 71256S70TDB trades mechanical ruggedness for compactness, while 71256L70DB adds battery retention capability at marginally lower standby current-neither is pin-compatible due to differing package footprints (CD28 vs. SD28), requiring PCB layout revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range certified for the 71256S70DB?
The 71256S70DB is fully qualified for operation from –55°C to +125°C per MIL-STD-883 Class B testing, including thermal cycling, steady-state life, and hermeticity validation. This range is explicitly guaranteed in the AC and DC electrical specifications tables and applies to all timing parameters including tAA, tRC, and tWC without derating.
Does the 71256S70DB support battery backup data retention?
No, the 71256S70DB does not support battery backup data retention. That feature is exclusive to the L-version (e.g., 71256L70DB), which specifies 2 V minimum VCC for data retention and 5 μW typical standby current. The S-version is optimized for speed and standard power operation, with no low-voltage retention capability.
Is the 71256S70DB pin-compatible with other members of the 71256 family?
Yes, the 71256S70DB shares identical pinout and signal definitions with all 71256S and 71256L variants in the CD28 (600 mil ceramic DIP) package, including 71256S25DB, 71256S35DB, and 71256L70DB. Pin compatibility is confirmed by the unified "Pin Configurations" diagram and "Pin Descriptions" table covering all S/L versions in the datasheet.
What package type is used for the 71256S70DB, and why is it significant?
The 71256S70DB uses a 28-pin 600 mil ceramic dual in-line package (CD28). This hermetically sealed package provides superior resistance to moisture, thermal stress, and mechanical shock compared to plastic or SOJ alternatives-making it essential for aerospace, defense, and downhole industrial applications where long-term reliability under extreme conditions is mandatory.
How does the standby power management work on the 71256S70DB?
The 71256S70DB enters low-power standby automatically when CS is driven HIGH (VIH ≥ 2.2 V), reducing ICC to 20 mA max (ISB). This TTL-level detection requires no external control logic. If CS remains HIGH and transitions to CMOS-level high (VHC = VCC – 0.2 V), the device achieves the same 20 mA ISB1 current-no separate low-power mode pin or command sequence is needed.
