Product details
Overview
71256SA15YG8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 15 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and single 5 V supply operation. It features separate Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) pins, bidirectional data bus, and low-power standby modes (ISB1 = 15 mA). It is used in real-time industrial controllers requiring deterministic memory access without refresh.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA15YG8 datasheet, 71256SA15YG8 pinout, 71256SA15YG8 application, or 71256SA15YG8 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, package-specific pin mapping, industrial-grade reliability data, and direct alternative part comparisons for legacy system maintenance and BOM continuity planning.
Technical Context
The 71256SA15YG8 implements fully static asynchronous logic-no clocks or refresh cycles required. Its address decoding and I/O control circuitry are optimized for deterministic read/write latency, with tAA = 15 ns and tRC = 15 ns guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range.
It supports two standby power states: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40 mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15 mA max), enabling dynamic power management in embedded systems where supply voltage noise margins constrain control signal thresholds.
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 maximum - guarantees worst-case address-to-data delay at full industrial temperature range |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA maximum - enables ultra-low-power hold mode when CS driven above VHC (VCC – 0.2 V) |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ 8 mA) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation, motor drives, and outdoor instrumentation |
| Package | 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28) - surface-mount compatible with legacy wave-solder and reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
71256SA15YG8 is housed in a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28) package with gull-wing leads, designed for high-reliability industrial PCB assembly and thermal cycling resilience.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word addressing; no internal latching - synchronous with CS/OE timing |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when CS = HIGH or OE = HIGH during reads, or WE = HIGH during writes |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable controlling device selection; determines ISB vs. ISB1 standby current based on logic level threshold |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers only; allows read data gating independent of CS (tOE = 7 ns max) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle when CS = LOW; controls tDW (data valid before write end) and tDH (hold after) |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10 % main supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling required per AC load specs |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference plane; must be low-impedance for stable tCLZ/tCHZ timing |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 15 ns industrial-grade access time | Guaranteed tAA ≤ 15 ns over –40°C to +85°C, enabling deterministic timing in PLC scan cycles and motion control loops |
| Dual standby current modes | ISB1 = 15 mA (CMOS-level CS) reduces power by 62.5% vs. ISB = 40 mA (TTL-level CS), critical for fanless enclosures |
| Separate OE and CS pins | Enables partial-memory read bursts without toggling CS, minimizing bus contention and reducing tRC overhead in multi-device systems |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interfacing with legacy microcontrollers (e.g., 80C51, Z80) and FPGAs without level-shifting circuitry |
| Green (RoHS-compliant) packaging | Pb-free SOJ construction meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) for standard SMT handling |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed parallel SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI | 32K × 8, 45 ns access, 3.3 V supply, SOJ-28, -40°C to +85°C | Slower speed but lower voltage; requires level translation for 5 V systems | Select when migrating to 3.3 V architecture and timing slack permits 45 ns latency |
| AS6C4008-15ZIN | 32K × 8, 15 ns access, 5 V supply, SOJ-28, -40°C to +85°C, 10 mA ISB1 | Lower standby current (10 mA vs. 15 mA); identical pinout and timing | Drop-in replacement if ISB1 reduction is prioritized and AS6C4008-15ZIN availability supports production ramp |
Compared with 71256SA15YG8, CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI trades speed for voltage compatibility, while AS6C4008-15ZIN matches timing and voltage but improves standby efficiency-making it the preferred drop-in upgrade where supply chain permits.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 71256SA15YG8?
The 71256SA15YG8 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed per Renesas datasheet revision Jun.29.20 and applies to all AC and DC parameters including tAA = 15 ns, ISB1 = 15 mA, and VIH/VIL thresholds. The PJG28 SOJ package is qualified to this range without derating.
Does the 71256SA15YG8 require a refresh circuit?
No, the 71256SA15YG8 is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh circuitry. Its internal design uses static CMOS latches for each memory cell, enabling indefinite data retention as long as VCC remains within 4.5 V–5.5 V and ambient temperature stays within –40°C to +85°C. This eliminates refresh overhead in microcontroller-based systems.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 current specifications for the 71256SA15YG8?
ISB (40 mA max) activates when CS is pulled above VIH (≥2.2 V), typical of TTL-level deassertion. ISB1 (15 mA max) engages when CS exceeds VHC (VCC – 0.2 V ≈ 4.8 V at 5 V), representing a tighter CMOS-level threshold. Designers use ISB1 to achieve 62.5% lower standby power in noise-immune 5 V systems where control logic can drive CS near VCC.
Is the 71256SA15YG8 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 71256SA15YG8 is a green (RoHS-compliant) device with lead-free terminations, as confirmed in the Renesas ordering information section (Jun.29.20 datasheet, Pg. 7). It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 MSL3 and is suitable for standard reflow soldering without special profile adjustments.
Can the 71256SA15YG8 be used as a direct replacement for the 71256SA15YG?
Yes, the 71256SA15YG8 is functionally and pinout-identical to 71256SA15YG, differing only in packaging format: "8" denotes tape-and-reel delivery (vs. tube for "YG"). Both share identical electrical specs, timing, thermal rating, and PJG28 SOJ footprint-enabling seamless substitution in automated SMT lines without layout or firmware changes.
