Product details
Overview
71256SA15PZGI from Renesas Electronics is a 262,144-bit (32K × 8) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 15 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and TSOP-28 package - used for real-time data buffering in embedded controllers and legacy industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA15PZGI datasheet, 71256SA15PZGI pinout, 71256SA15PZGI application, or 71256SA15PZGI equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, industrial-grade standby current (ISB1 = 15 mA), output enable latency (tOE = 7 ns), and TSOP-specific pin mapping - critical for memory subsystem validation in safety-critical control systems.
Technical Context
The 71256SA15PZGI implements fully static asynchronous architecture with no clocks or refresh required. Its dual-control logic supports both chip-select–driven and output-enable–driven read cycles, enabling flexible bus arbitration in microcontroller-based systems.
It features two distinct standby modes: TTL-level ISB (40 mA at 15 ns speed) and CMOS-level ISB1 (15 mA), activated by voltage thresholds on CS (VHC = VCC – 0.2 V). All 8 bidirectional I/O lines are directly TTL-compatible with VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V under load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max - determines minimum CPU wait-state insertion for 80C188/80C186-based systems |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails without regulation overhead |
| Industrial Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for uncontrolled cabinet environments in factory automation |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at CMOS-level CS deassertion - enables low-power sleep mode in battery-backed controllers |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive (8 mA sink / 4 mA source) - interoperable with 74LS/74ALS families |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm footprint - surface-mount compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
71256SA15PZGI is housed in a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package with 0.5 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, and lead-free (Green) construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32,767 row/column decode; no internal latching - requires stable address during CS low |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; direction controlled by WE and OE - no external transceivers needed |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; asserts memory array and control logic - primary selection signal for multi-chip memory maps |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low; gates output drivers only - allows read data to be enabled/disabled independently of CS for bus sharing |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low; controls write cycle initiation and data capture timing - defines tWP (10 ns min) and tDW (7 ns min) |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10 % main supply - powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling required within 10 mm |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return - must be low-impedance plane adjacent to VCC for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Static Operation | No clock, no refresh, no hidden cycles - deterministic timing for hard real-time interrupt service routines |
| Dual Standby Modes | ISB1 = 15 mA (CMOS-level CS) enables ultra-low-power hold state; ISB = 40 mA (TTL-level CS) supports faster wake-up |
| Fast Output Enable | tOE = 7 ns max - reduces bus turnaround latency in shared-memory multiprocessor backplanes |
| TSOP-28 Green Packaging | Lead-free, halogen-free PZG28 package - meets RoHS/REACH requirements for industrial equipment export compliance |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | Full 15 ns timing guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C - eliminates derating calculations for outdoor or motor-adjacent deployments |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZAXI | 32K × 8, 45 ns access, 3.3 V supply, SOIC-28 package | Requires level translation for 5 V systems; slower timing limits use in high-throughput controllers | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and relaxing timing constraints |
| AS6C4008-15ZIN | 512K × 8, 15 ns access, 5 V supply, TSOP-32 package | Higher density but incompatible pinout (32-pin vs. 28-pin); requires PCB redesign | Consider for capacity upgrades where board revision is feasible and footprint expansion is allowed |
Compared with 71256SA15PZGI, CY62128EV30LL-45ZAXI trades speed and voltage compatibility for lower power, while AS6C4008-15ZIN offers density at the cost of mechanical and electrical rework - making 71256SA15PZGI optimal for drop-in replacement in existing 5 V, TSOP-28 industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 71256SA15PZGI?
The 71256SA15PZGI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all AC and DC parameters in the datasheet, including 15 ns access time and 15 mA ISB1 standby current. Unlike commercial variants, the 71256SA15PZGI undergoes extended burn-in and screening to maintain timing integrity under thermal stress - critical for deployment in unventilated control cabinets.
Does the 71256SA15PZGI require a clock or refresh signal?
No, the 71256SA15PZGI uses fully static CMOS circuitry and requires neither a clock nor periodic refresh. It retains data indefinitely as long as VCC remains within 4.5 V–5.5 V and ambient temperature stays within –40°C to +85°C. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead in real-time systems - a key advantage over DRAM or pseudo-static RAM alternatives.
What is the function of the OE pin on the 71256SA15PZGI?
The OE (Output Enable) pin on the 71256SA15PZGI is an active-low control that independently enables or disables the output drivers without deselecting the chip. When OE is high, I/O0–I/O7 enter high-impedance state even if CS is low - allowing multiple 71256SA15PZGI devices to share a common data bus. Its 7 ns tOE parameter ensures minimal bus contention delay during read arbitration.
Can the 71256SA15PZGI be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
The 71256SA15PZGI is specified for 5 V operation only (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) and features TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.2 V) and outputs (VOH ≥ 2.4 V). While its VIH threshold permits recognition of 3.3 V logic highs, the device itself must be powered at 5 V. Direct connection to 3.3 V-only buses requires level-shifting; mismatched supply domains risk violating VTERM absolute maximum ratings.
What package type does the 71256SA15PZGI use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The 71256SA15PZGI uses a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package with 0.5 mm pitch and conforms to JEDEC MO-153. It is a Green part - lead-free and halogen-free per Renesas' ordering information - meeting RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC requirements. The "G" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes Green compliance.
