Product details
Overview
71256SA15YGI from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) 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 28-pin 300-mil plastic SOJ (PJG28) package. It serves as main or cache memory in embedded controllers requiring deterministic, no-refresh asynchronous read/write.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA15YGI datasheet, 71256SA15YGI pinout, 71256SA15YGI application, or 71256SA15YGI equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade timing consistency, low standby current (ISB = 40 mA max), bidirectional TTL I/O compatibility, and SOJ package footprint for legacy board reuse.
Technical Context
The 71256SA15YGI implements fully static asynchronous circuitry-no clocks or refresh required-and uses dual-control enable logic with independent Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) pins to manage read/write cycles and output impedance states. Its architecture supports simultaneous address decoding and data bus control via dedicated A0–A14 address inputs and I/O0–I/O7 bidirectional data lines.
It operates across VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V with guaranteed DC input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and AC timing validated under industrial conditions: tAA = 15 ns, tRC = 15 ns, tOE = 7 ns, and tWHZ = 6 ns. Standby power is minimized via two low-current modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); enables byte-wide data transfers without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C; ensures deterministic latency in real-time control loops |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation |
| Standby Current (ISB) | 40 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V; reduces system power during idle states in battery-backed or energy-constrained designs |

28-pin 300-mil plastic SOJ (PJG28) package with gull-wing leads, designed for wave soldering and surface-mount reflow compatibility. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; lead finish is lead-free per RoHS/Green compliance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K address space; all inputs are TTL-compatible with defined VIH/VIL thresholds |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; tri-stated when CS or OE inactive; drives/receives TTL logic levels directly |
| CS | Chip Select Input | Active-low enable controlling device selection; determines standby mode (ISB/ISB1) based on voltage threshold |
| WE | Write Enable Input | Active-low signal initiating write cycle; controls data latching and memory cell update timing |
| OE | Output Enable Input | Active-low signal enabling output drivers; allows fast read access (tOE = 7 ns) independent of CS assertion |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor placement near this pin is critical for noise immunity and timing stability |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all signals and power; requires low-impedance PCB connection to minimize ground bounce |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully static asynchronous operation | No clock, no refresh, no wait states-simplifies timing design in microcontroller-based systems |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 71256SA15YGI?
The 71256SA15YGI 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 tAA = 15 ns, ISB = 40 mA max, and VIH/VIL thresholds. The device undergoes temperature cycling validation per JEDEC JESD22-A108, making it suitable for deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments such as factory floors or vehicle engine compartments.
Does the 71256SA15YGI require a clock or refresh signal to retain data?
No, the 71256SA15YGI uses fully static CMOS memory cells and requires no clock, refresh, or periodic access to retain data. As long as VCC remains within 4.5 V to 5.5 V and temperature stays within –40°C to +85°C, data persists indefinitely in standby mode. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead in MCU firmware and simplifies system-level power management for the 71256SA15YGI.
Can the 71256SA15YGI be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
The 71256SA15YGI is specified for 5 V operation only (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) and features TTL-compatible I/O thresholds-not 3.3 V LVTTL. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic risks violating VIH min (2.2 V) and VIL max (0.8 V) margins under worst-case conditions. For mixed-voltage systems, the 71256SA15YGI requires level-shifting circuitry or a 5 V-tolerant I/O buffer to ensure reliable operation.
What is the pinout compatibility between 71256SA15YGI and earlier IDT-branded versions?
The 71256SA15YGI retains identical pinout, timing, and electrical specifications as the original IDT71256SA15YGI-Renesas rebranded the part without functional change. The PJG28 SOJ package, A0–A14 address mapping, I/O0–I/O7 data bus, and CS/OE/WE control pin assignments are 100% consistent. Board-level drop-in replacement is supported provided the PCB land pattern matches the 300-mil SOJ footprint.
Is the 71256SA15YGI compliant with RoHS and green manufacturing standards?
Yes, the 71256SA15YGI is a Green/RoHS-compliant device per Renesas' ordering information. It contains no lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, PBB, or PBDE above threshold limits. The "Y" in the part number denotes green packaging, and the PJG28 SOJ package uses matte tin lead finish. Compliance documentation-including test reports and declarations-is available through Renesas' quality portal for the 71256SA15YGI.
