Product details
Overview
71256SA20PZG8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 20 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, industrial PLCs, and legacy instrumentation requiring deterministic asynchronous memory access.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA20PZG8 datasheet, 71256SA20PZG8 pinout, 71256SA20PZG8 application, or 71256SA20PZG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 20 ns tAA/tRC timing under industrial temperature, TSOP-28 package compatibility, CS/OE dual-control read/write flexibility, and ISB1 standby current ≤15 mA at CMOS-level deselect.
Technical Context
The 71256SA20PZG8 implements fully static asynchronous logic with no clocks or refresh required. Its address decoder drives a 262,144-bit memory array using high-reliability CMOS process technology, supporting concurrent address setup (tAS = 0 ns), output hold (tOH = 3 ns), and write recovery (tWR = 0 ns).
It uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and delivers VOH ≥ 2.4 V / VOL ≤ 0.4 V at specified loads. Standby power management includes two distinct modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deselect, 40 mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deselect, 15 mA max), enabling precise system-level power gating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns maximum - guarantees deterministic read latency across full industrial temperature range |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS system rails without regulation overhead |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA maximum at CMOS-level chip deselect - enables ultra-low-power sleep states in battery-backed systems |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input and TTL-output compatible - eliminates level-shifting requirements in mixed-logic designs |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, motor drives, and outdoor telemetry hardware |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm footprint - surface-mount compatible with automated PCB assembly |
Pinout & Package
71256SA20PZG8 is housed in a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package with 0.5 mm lead pitch and JEDEC-standard pinout. The package supports reflow soldering and provides mechanical robustness for vibration-prone industrial environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus selecting one of 32,768 memory locations; 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 CS; high-impedance when deselected or OE high |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for entire device; controls ISB/ISB1 standby modes and initiates all read/write cycles |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers only; allows read data to appear without affecting write capability |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal qualifying write operations; overlapping low WE and low CS defines write window per timing diagram |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10 % main supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; decoupling required per high-speed RAM layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground reference; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into memory array |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Static Operation | No clock, no refresh, no wait states - simplifies timing-critical microcontroller interfaces and FPGA memory controllers |
| Dual-Enable Control (CS + OE) | Enables partial memory access control: CS gates device activity, OE gates output drivers - supports multi-drop bus sharing |
| Two-Tier Standby Power Modes | ISB1 (15 mA) at CMOS-level CS deselect enables deeper sleep than ISB (40 mA) at TTL-level deselect - improves system energy budgeting |
| TTL-Compatible Interface | Direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers, CPLDs, and legacy logic families without level translators or pull-up resistors |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | Guaranteed 20 ns performance across –40°C to +85°C - validated for use in motor control cabinets and factory-floor HMI units |

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 | 32K × 8-bit, 45 ns access, 3.3 V supply, SOIC-28 package | Requires voltage translation in 5 V systems; slower timing limits real-time use cases | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and relaxing timing constraints |
| AS6C4008-20TIN | 512K × 8-bit, 20 ns access, 5 V supply, TSOP-32 package | Higher density but incompatible pinout and larger package; not drop-in | Consider for capacity upgrade paths where board redesign is acceptable |
Compared with 71256SA20PZG8, CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT trades speed and voltage compatibility for lower cost in non-critical applications, while AS6C4008-20TIN offers double density at same speed but demands PCB layout revision due to 32-pin TSOP footprint and different address/data pin mapping.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 71256SA20PZG8?
The 71256SA20PZG8 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all AC and DC parameters including 20 ns access time, standby current (ISB1 ≤15 mA), and TTL-compatible I/O thresholds. The device undergoes full characterization and screening per Renesas industrial qualification standards.
Does the 71256SA20PZG8 require a clock or refresh circuit?
No, the 71256SA20PZG8 uses fully static CMOS design and requires no clock signal or periodic refresh cycles. It retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied and CS remains high during standby. This eliminates timing controller complexity in microcontroller- or FPGA-based memory interfaces.
What package type does the 71256SA20PZG8 use, and is it RoHS compliant?
The 71256SA20PZG8 uses a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package with 0.5 mm lead pitch. Per Renesas ordering information and datasheet revision 06/29/20, this part is a green (lead-free, RoHS-compliant) device, indicated by the "G" suffix in the orderable ID and confirmed in the "Green parts available" feature statement.
How does the dual standby mode (ISB vs. ISB1) work on the 71256SA20PZG8?
The 71256SA20PZG8 offers two standby current modes: ISB activates when CS > VIH (TTL-high, ≤5.5 V), drawing up to 40 mA; ISB1 activates when CS > VHC (CMOS-high, VCC – 0.2 V), drawing ≤15 mA. Designers select ISB1 for lowest power by ensuring clean CMOS-level deassertion of CS in their power management firmware.
Can the 71256SA20PZG8 be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
The 71256SA20PZG8 is specified for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation and features TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), so it accepts 3.3 V logic HIGH signals safely. However, its outputs swing to VOH ≥ 2.4 V (at –4 mA), which may fall below minimum VIH of some 3.3 V receivers; level-shifting or receiver validation is recommended for reliable interoperation.
