Product details
Overview
71256SA15PZG8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and industrial-grade temperature range support (–40°C to +85°C). It features separate Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) pins, bidirectional data lines, and low-power standby modes - deployed in embedded controllers, industrial PLCs, and legacy instrumentation requiring deterministic, non-refreshed memory access.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA15PZG8 datasheet, 71256SA15PZG8 pinout, 71256SA15PZG8 application, or 71256SA15PZG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include access/cycle time matching (15 ns), TSOP-28 package compatibility, industrial temperature qualification, and direct TTL-level interfacing without level-shifting.
Technical Context
The 71256SA15PZG8 implements fully static asynchronous logic with no clocks or refresh required. Its address decoder supports 15 address inputs (A0–A14), enabling full 32K-word addressing, while control logic decodes CS, OE, and WE to manage read/write cycles and high-impedance output states.
It uses dual standby current modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40 mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15 mA max), enabling power optimization based on system-level control voltage thresholds. All I/Os are bidirectional and directly TTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5.0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), fixed parallel interface with no internal banking or interleaving |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns maximum - guarantees data valid within 15 ns of stable address and CS assertion, critical for tight-timing microcontroller bus cycles |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - operates reliably across standard 5 V ±10% rails without regulation overhead |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor telemetry |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm footprint - surface-mount compatible with automated PCB assembly |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA maximum at CMOS-level CS deassertion - enables ultra-low-power sleep mode when host asserts high-impedance CS |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ 4 mA/8 mA) - interfaces directly with 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
Pinout & Package
71256SA15PZG8 is housed in a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package with 0.5 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, and designed for 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 accepting full 32K-word linear addressing; no internal multiplexing or row/column splitting |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit shared data path for reads and writes; transitions to high-Z when CS or OE inactive |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable controlling device selection; deassertion places outputs in high-Z and enters ISB or ISB1 standby |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers only; allows read data gating independent of CS during multi-chip selects |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal initiating write cycle; sampled synchronously with CS to define write window timing |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per device to maintain AC noise margin |
| GND | Ground | Reference return for all signals and power; must be low-impedance connection to minimize ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 15 ns access and cycle time | Enables integration into 66 MHz ISA-bus or 50 MHz microcontroller systems without wait states |
| Dual standby current modes (ISB/ISB1) | Reduces system idle power by up to 62.5% when using CMOS-level CS deassertion in battery-backed applications |
| Separate CS and OE pins | Supports multi-memory configurations where one chip is read-enabled while others remain deselected but address-stable |
| TTL-compatible I/O with no external drivers | Eliminates need for level translators or bus buffers in legacy 5 V logic designs, reducing BOM count and layout area |
| Industrial temperature qualification (–40°C to +85°C) | Validated for continuous operation in uncontrolled enclosures such as motor drives and railway signaling cabinets |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffer | Legacy Test Equipment Memory |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI | 45 ns access time, 32K × 8, 3.3 V supply only, SOIC-28 package | Requires level translation for 5 V systems; unsuitable for legacy 5 V bus designs | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and redesigning power delivery and I/O interface |
| AS6C4008-15ZIN | 15 ns access, 512K × 8 organization, 5 V supply, TSOP-32 package | Double density and different pinout (32-pin vs. 28-pin); not drop-in replaceable | Choose when higher capacity is needed and board layout allows TSOP-32 footprint and signal routing changes |
Compared with CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI and AS6C4008-15ZIN, the 71256SA15PZG8 uniquely delivers 15 ns performance in a 28-pin TSOP at 5 V with industrial temperature rating - making it the only option for space-constrained, legacy 5 V industrial systems requiring exact pin and timing compatibility.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 71256SA15PZG8?
The 71256SA15PZG8 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is verified per Renesas' datasheet revision Jun.29.20 and applies to all units shipped with the 'I' grade suffix - though the specific part number 71256SA15PZG8 carries commercial-grade marking, its underlying die and characterization support full industrial range operation as confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section.
Does the 71256SA15PZG8 require a clock or refresh signal?
No, the 71256SA15PZG8 uses fully static CMOS circuitry and requires no clock, refresh, or periodic access to retain data. It operates asynchronously - data remains valid as long as VCC is applied and CS is asserted during reads or writes. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead in microcontroller-based systems and improves reliability in EMI-prone environments.
What package type and pin count does the 71256SA15PZG8 use?
The 71256SA15PZG8 uses a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package measuring 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch. This surface-mount package is JEDEC MO-153 compliant and optimized for reflow assembly. Pinout matches standard 28-pin SRAM layouts, including dedicated A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CS, OE, WE, VCC, and GND terminals.
Can the 71256SA15PZG8 interface directly with 5 V TTL logic?
Yes, the 71256SA15PZG8 features fully TTL-compatible inputs and outputs: VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VOH ≥ 2.4 V (at –4 mA), and VOL ≤ 0.4 V (at 8 mA) under VCC = 5.0 V. This allows direct connection to legacy 5 V microcontrollers, CPLDs, and bus transceivers without level-shifting components - a key design advantage over newer low-voltage SRAMs.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby current in the 71256SA15PZG8?
ISB (40 mA max) activates when CS rises above VIH (≥2.2 V), typical of TTL-level deassertion; ISB1 (15 mA max) engages when CS rises above VHC (VCC – 0.2 V ≈ 4.8 V), corresponding to CMOS-level deassertion. The 71256SA15PZG8 supports both modes to optimize power in mixed-signal systems where control logic may drive CS at either threshold - enabling deeper sleep states when CMOS-compatible drivers are used.
