Product details
Overview
71256S70TDB from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 70 ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and military-grade reliability compliant to MIL-STD-883 Class B. It operates across –55°C to +125°C, consumes 135 mA dynamic current at VCC = 5.5 V, and supports battery backup data retention in low-power standby mode. It serves as main memory or buffer in avionics control units requiring deterministic timing and radiation-tolerant operation.
For engineers reviewing the 71256S70TDB datasheet, 71256S70TDB pinout, 71256S70TDB application, or 71256S70TDB equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, military temperature performance, DIP package details, and real-world design context for embedded systems operating under extreme environmental stress.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully decoded 15-bit address space (A0–A14) driving a 262,144-bit SRAM array with bidirectional 8-bit I/O (I/O0–I/O7). Its control logic uses three independent active-low enables-CS, WE, and OE-with defined priority: CS governs standby entry/exit, WE selects write cycles, and OE enables output drivers without affecting internal state.
Timing behavior is strictly cycle-based: read cycle time (tRC) equals 70 ns, address access time (tAA) is ≤70 ns, and chip select access time (tACS) matches tAA. Standby current drops to 20 mA (TTL-level CS) or 20 mA (CMOS-level CS), with no power-down sequencing required-only CS high assertion is needed to enter low-power mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), single-port asynchronous SRAM |
| Access Time (tAA) | 70 ns max - guarantees data valid within 70 ns after stable address and CS assertion |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% (4.5–5.5 V) - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B for harsh-environment deployment |
| Dynamic Current (ICC) | 135 mA max at fMAX - defines worst-case system power budget during continuous read/write cycling |
| Standby Current (ISB) | 20 mA max - sets minimum quiescent draw when CS = VIH, enabling thermal/power management |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output drive (VOL = 0.4 V @ 8 mA) - eliminates level-shifting in legacy 5 V systems |
Pinout & Package
71256S70TDB is supplied in a 28-pin 300-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CDIP), designated SD28 per Renesas ordering nomenclature. This hermetically sealed package ensures long-term reliability in high-humidity, high-vibration, and radiation-prone environments typical of aerospace and defense platforms.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit unidirectional address bus; fully decoded to select one of 32,768 memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data Input/Output | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance when CS = VIH or OE = VIH during reads/writes |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable controlling device activation and automatic entry into standby mode when deasserted |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal qualifying write cycles; must be low concurrently with CS low to store data |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers only; does not affect internal memory state or power mode |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin for noise immunity |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance | Validated screening and testing for military applications including burn-in, temperature cycling, and hermeticity verification |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range certified for the 71256S70TDB?
The 71256S70TDB is certified for continuous operation from –55°C to +125°C and qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B, including temperature cycling, burn-in, and hermeticity tests. This range is explicitly validated for the SD28 ceramic DIP package and applies to all speed grades within the S-series military family, including the 71256S70TDB.
Does the 71256S70TDB support battery backup data retention?
No-the 71256S70TDB is the standard-power variant (S-series) and does not include battery backup capability. That feature is exclusive to the L-series (e.g., 71256L70TDB), which specifies 2 V data retention and microamp-level standby current. The 71256S70TDB draws 20 mA in standby and requires continuous 5 V supply for data retention.
Is the 71256S70TDB pin-compatible with other members of the 71256 family?
Yes-the 71256S70TDB shares identical pinout, package dimensions, and signal definitions with all 28-pin SD28 variants in the 71256S/L family, including 71256S25TDB, 71256S35TDB, and 71256L70TDB. Address, data, and control pins (A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CS, WE, OE, VCC, GND) are functionally and physically identical across these orderable parts.
What is the meaning of "TDB" in the part number 71256S70TDB?
In Renesas' ordering nomenclature, "TDB" denotes the 28-pin 300-mil ceramic DIP package (SD28) supplied in tube format. "T" indicates tube packaging, "D" signifies ceramic DIP, and "B" identifies the military temperature grade (–55°C to +125°C). This distinguishes it from "DB" (600-mil CDIP) and "YG" (SOJ) variants.
Can the 71256S70TDB be used in new designs despite its legacy status?
Yes-the 71256S70TDB remains actively supported by Renesas with documented availability, full MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification, and no announced obsolescence. While newer low-voltage SRAMs exist, the 71256S70TDB is expressly maintained for legacy avionics, defense, and space programs requiring proven reliability, 5 V compatibility, and hermetic packaging-making it appropriate for new designs targeting those domains.
