Product details
Overview
71256SA15PZG from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access and cycle times, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and industrial-grade reliability across 0°C to +70°C commercial temperature range. It serves as a non-refreshing, asynchronous memory buffer in embedded controllers, instrumentation front-ends, and legacy bus-based systems requiring deterministic read/write timing.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA15PZG datasheet, 71256SA15PZG pinout, 71256SA15PZG application, or 71256SA15PZG equivalent, key selection criteria include its 28-pin TSOP package, 15 ns tAA/tRC timing, dual standby current modes (ISB = 40 mA, ISB1 = 15 mA), and direct compatibility with 5 V TTL address/data buses without level translation.
Technical Context
The 71256SA15PZG implements fully static asynchronous circuitry-no clocks or refresh required-with independent Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) controls enabling fast read cycles (tOE = 7 ns) and precise output gating. Its bidirectional I/O architecture supports concurrent data-in and data-out paths on shared pins, managed by CS, OE, and Write Enable (WE) logic per JEDEC-standard SRAM protocol.
It uses high-reliability CMOS fabrication optimized for low power in active and standby states, with two distinct standby modes: TTL-level (ISB = 40 mA at VCC max) and CMOS-level (ISB1 = 15 mA when CS > VHC and inputs held valid), allowing system-level power optimization based on control signal drive capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide parallel data transfers without interleaving or banking logic |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max; guarantees data validity within 15 ns of stable address and CS assertion-critical for tight-cycle microcontroller interfaces |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input and TTL-output levels; eliminates need for external level shifters in legacy 5 V systems |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V; enables ultra-low-power hold mode when CS driven above VHC threshold |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C; validated for commercial-grade industrial equipment and test instrumentation |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28); 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm footprint, surface-mount compatible with automated assembly |
Pinout & Package
71256SA15PZG is housed in a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package with 0.5 mm lead pitch, designed for high-density PCB layouts and reflow soldering. Pin numbering follows standard TSOP top-view orientation with pin 1 marked by notch or dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus (32K depth); all inputs TTL-compatible, no pull-ups required |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit shared data path; direction controlled by CS/OE/WE; drives/receives TTL levels directly |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; device enters standby (high-Z I/O) when high; supports two power-down modes |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; enables outputs independently of CS; tOE = 7 ns ensures fast data sampling |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write on falling edge coincident with CS low; tWP = 10 ns minimum pulse width |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply (4.5–5.5 V); decoupling required near pin 16 per layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground | Signal and power return; pin 15 is dedicated ground for noise isolation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Static Operation | No clock, no refresh-simplifies timing design in microcontroller- or FPGA-based systems with irregular memory access patterns |
| Dual Standby Current Modes | ISB = 40 mA (TTL CS high) and ISB1 = 15 mA (CMOS CS high) allow dynamic power scaling based on host driver capability |
| Fast Output Enable | tOE = 7 ns enables rapid burst reads in real-time data acquisition where latency must be sub-10 ns |
| TSOP Packaging | PZG28 package reduces board area by ~60% vs. DIP/SOJ alternatives while maintaining full pin compatibility |
| Green Compliance | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction meets modern environmental requirements without derating |
Applications
| Industrial Data Loggers | Legacy Bus-Based Controllers |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Continuous buffering of sensor readings (e.g., temperature, pressure) at 10 kHz sample rate before batch transmission over RS-485. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous SRAM buffer staging raw ADC data; absorbs burst writes without DMA or CPU intervention. Use Value: 15 ns tAA and tWC ensure zero-wait-state operation with 8051 or Z80 derivatives running at ≤20 MHz bus clocks. | Use Scenario: Real-time control of stepper motor sequences in CNC motion controllers using ISA or VMEbus backplanes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile shadow RAM holding firmware patch tables and motion profile lookups accessed via fixed-address windows. Use Value: TTL-compatible I/O and 5 V supply eliminate level-shifting components, reducing BOM count and signal integrity risk. |
| Test Equipment Front-Ends | Communications Protocol Analyzers |

Use Value: Independent CS/OE controls allow simultaneous read (CPU) and write (parser) access without bus contention or arbitration logic. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT | 45 ns access time; 32K × 8 organization; 3.3 V supply only; SOIC-28 package | Requires level translation in 5 V systems; unsuitable for legacy TTL buses without interface ICs | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and redesigning power delivery and I/O interfaces |
| AS6C4008-55ZIN | 55 ns access; 512K × 8 density; 5 V supply; TSOP-32 package | Higher density but slower speed; incompatible pinout (32-pin vs. 28-pin); requires PCB redesign | Consider only for capacity upgrades where timing budget allows ≥55 ns latency and board layout permits new footprint |
Compared with CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT and AS6C4008-55ZIN, the 71256SA15PZG delivers optimal balance of 5 V TTL compatibility, 15 ns performance, and drop-in replaceability in existing 28-pin TSOP footprints-making it the preferred choice for sustaining legacy 5 V designs without layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 71256SA15PZG?
The 71256SA15PZG does not operate on a clock; it is an asynchronous SRAM. Its maximum effective throughput is governed by tRC = 15 ns, yielding a theoretical upper limit of 66.7 MHz for consecutive read/write cycles. Actual system bandwidth depends on bus protocol overhead, address setup, and controller timing margins-not a clock frequency specification.
Does the 71256SA15PZG require external refresh circuitry?
No, the 71256SA15PZG is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh cycles or external refresh circuitry. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as VCC remains within 4.5 V–5.5 V and ambient temperature stays within 0°C to +70°C-enabling simple, low-overhead integration in microcontroller-based systems.
Can the 71256SA15PZG be used in place of the 71256SA12PZG?
Yes, the 71256SA15PZG is functionally and pin-compatible with the 71256SA12PZG, differing only in guaranteed access time (15 ns vs. 12 ns). Systems designed for the faster 12 ns part will operate reliably with the 15 ns variant, though maximum bus speed may decrease slightly. No PCB or firmware changes are needed for substitution.
What is the meaning of "PZG" in the 71256SA15PZG part number?
"PZG" denotes the package type: PZG28 is Renesas' designation for a 28-pin TSOP Type I package with 0.5 mm lead pitch and 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm body dimensions. This matches industry-standard JEDEC MO-153, ensuring compatibility with standard SMT placement and reflow profiles.
Is the 71256SA15PZG compliant with RoHS and green manufacturing standards?
Yes, the 71256SA15PZG is a green, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant device per Renesas' ordering information. The "G" suffix explicitly indicates compliance with EU Directive 2011/65/EU and related restrictions on hazardous substances, with full material declarations available upon request.
