Product details
Overview
71256SA15YGI8 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, and 28-pin plastic SOJ (PJG28) package. It serves as main or buffer memory in real-time control systems requiring deterministic read/write timing without refresh.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA15YGI8 datasheet, 71256SA15YGI8 pinout, 71256SA15YGI8 application, or 71256SA15YGI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade reliability, 15 ns cycle time under full temperature range, low standby current (ISB = 40 mA max), and direct TTL-level interface compatibility with legacy microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Technical Context
The 71256SA15YGI8 implements fully static asynchronous operation-no clocks or refresh required-and uses dual-control enable logic with independent Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) inputs to support interleaved memory access and output tri-state management. Its address decoding is internal and fully decoded for all 15 address lines (A0–A14).
Timing is defined by overlapping CS- and WE-controlled write cycles and OE-gated read cycles, with guaranteed tCLZ ≤ 4 ns and tOHZ ≤ 7 ns at industrial temperature. Power states are managed via TTL- and CMOS-level standby modes (ISB and ISB1), delivering 40 mA and 15 mA max supply current respectively.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide data bus interfacing without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max over –40°C to +85°C; ensures deterministic latency for hard real-time firmware execution |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy power domains |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible bidirectional data (I/O0–I/O7); eliminates level-shifter requirements in mixed-logic systems |
| Standby Current (ISB) | 40 mA max at VCC max and fMAX; enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep without memory loss |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the 71256SA15YGI8?
The 71256SA15YGI8 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 access time (tAA ≤ 15 ns), standby current (ISB ≤ 40 mA), and I/O voltage thresholds. The "I" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this industrial grade, and it is validated per Renesas' industrial qualification standards.
Does the 71256SA15YGI8 require a clock or refresh circuit?
No, the 71256SA15YGI8 uses fully static CMOS design and requires neither a clock nor periodic refresh. Data retention is maintained indefinitely as long as VCC remains within 4.5 V–5.5 V and temperature stays within –40°C to +85°C. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead in MCU- or FPGA-based systems and simplifies PCB layout by removing associated clock routing and refresh logic.
What package type and pin count does the 71256SA15YGI8 use?
71256SA15YGI8 uses a 28-pin 300-mil plastic SOJ (Small Outline J-lead) package, identified as PJG28 in Renesas' ordering nomenclature. It features gull-wing leads compatible with standard surface-mount reflow processes and matches the mechanical footprint of legacy 28-pin SOJ memories, enabling drop-in replacement on existing industrial PCBs.
How does the Output Enable (OE) pin function independently of Chip Select (CS) in the 71256SA15YGI8?
In the 71256SA15YGI8, OE provides independent control of output drivers while CS manages overall device selection and power state. When CS is active (LOW) and OE is toggled, outputs respond within tOE ≤ 7 ns-enabling fast read bursts without changing CS. When CS is HIGH, the device enters standby (ISB/ISB1), and OE has no effect. This separation supports multiplexed bus architectures where multiple devices share CS but use individual OE lines for arbitration.
Is the 71256SA15YGI8 compliant with RoHS and green manufacturing standards?
Yes, the 71256SA15YGI8 is a Renesas "Green" device, meaning it complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is manufactured without lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). The "G" suffix in the ordering code confirms this compliance, and material declarations are available in Renesas' official environmental documentation.
