Product details
Overview
71256SA15YG from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) 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 bus, and low-power standby modes - deployed in embedded controllers, legacy industrial PLCs, and real-time data buffering systems.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA15YG datasheet, 71256SA15YG pinout, 71256SA15YG application, or 71256SA15YG equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 15 ns read/write cycle timing, SOJ-28 package compatibility, TTL-level interface robustness, and industrial-temperature reliability without refresh circuitry.
Technical Context
The 71256SA15YG implements fully static asynchronous memory architecture with no clocks or refresh required. Its control logic decodes 15 address lines (A0–A14) to select one of 32,768 locations, each delivering or accepting 8-bit parallel data via I/O0–I/O7.
It supports two distinct standby states: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40 mA max ICC) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15 mA max ICC), enabling dynamic power scaling based on system-level voltage thresholds and timing margins.

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 | 512K × 8-bit, 45 ns access, 3.3 V only, TSOP-32 | Higher density but slower speed and incompatible voltage - requires level translation and board redesign | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V systems and needing >256 Kbit capacity |
| AS6C4008-55ZIN | 512K × 8-bit, 55 ns access, 5 V tolerant, SOJ-32 | Same voltage, larger capacity, but 55 ns timing - unsuitable for 15 ns-critical paths | Acceptable for non-real-time logging where latency < 55 ns is sufficient |
Compared with CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT and AS6C4008-55ZIN, the 71256SA15YG delivers precise 15 ns timing at 5 V in SOJ-28 - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial designs where pinout, voltage, and speed are jointly constrained.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 71256SA15YG?
The 71256SA15YG operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V DC. This 5 V nominal range ensures full compatibility with legacy TTL and CMOS logic families without level-shifting circuitry. All AC and DC specifications - including 15 ns access time and 40 mA ISB current - are guaranteed across this voltage window at industrial temperatures.
Does the 71256SA15YG require a clock or refresh signal?
No, the 71256SA15YG uses fully static CMOS memory cells and requires neither a clock nor periodic refresh. Its asynchronous design allows random read/write access at any time, provided address and control signals meet setup/hold timing. This eliminates timing controller overhead in microcontroller-based systems and reduces system-level complexity.
What package type is used for the 71256SA15YG?
The 71256SA15YG is supplied in a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28) package. This gull-wing surface-mount variant supports standard reflow profiles and is mechanically and electrically identical to the PDIP and TSOP variants in the same speed grade - enabling footprint reuse across form factors where board space or assembly method differs.
How does the 71256SA15YG handle power management during idle periods?
The 71256SA15YG supports two low-power standby modes: ISB (40 mA max) when CS is pulled above VIH (TTL threshold), and ISB1 (15 mA max) when CS exceeds VHC (CMOS threshold). This dual-threshold design allows system firmware to dynamically select deeper sleep states based on host logic voltage levels - extending battery life in portable instrumentation without hardware modification.
Is the 71256SA15YG RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 71256SA15YG is a green, RoHS-compliant device with lead-free terminations and halogen-free molding compound. This compliance is confirmed in Renesas' ordering information and aligns with JEDEC J-STD-609A Class 1 marking. No exemptions apply, and the part meets EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements for hazardous substance restriction.
