Product details
Overview
71256SA20PZGI from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), 20 ns read/write cycle time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and TSOP-28 packaging. It serves as nonvolatile-cache buffer or main memory in legacy industrial controllers requiring deterministic access without refresh.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA20PZGI datasheet, 71256SA20PZGI pinout, 71256SA20PZGI application, or 71256SA20PZGI equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 20 ns access under industrial thermal stress, standby current of 40 mA at max VCC, CMOS-level standby mode (ISB1 = 15 mA), bidirectional TTL I/O drive capability, and TSOP-28 footprint compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The 71256SA20PZGI implements fully static asynchronous architecture-no clocks or refresh required-with independent chip select (CS) and output enable (OE) control enabling flexible bus arbitration. Its address-access timing (tAA ≤ 20 ns) and chip-select access (tACS ≤ 20 ns) are matched to ensure consistent latency across all valid address transitions.
It supports two standby modes: TTL-level (ISB = 40 mA) when CS > VIH, and low-power CMOS-level (ISB1 = 15 mA) when CS > VHC and all inputs held valid, enabling dynamic power scaling in battery-backed or thermally constrained systems.
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 - guarantees data validity within 20 ns of stable address and CS assertion |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 20 ns - minimum interval between successive read operations |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL logic rails |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control environments |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V - enables ultra-low-power hold state when inputs meet CMOS threshold |
| 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) |
Pinout & Package
71256SA20PZGI is housed in a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package, 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant. Pin 1 marked via notch or bevel; top-side marking includes "71256SA20PZGI" and date code.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus (32K = 2¹⁵); latched on CS/WE edges; no internal multiplexing |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when CS high or OE high |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; controls ISB/ISB1 standby entry and tACS timing |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low; enables output drivers independently of CS; tOE ≤ 10 ns |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low; initiates write cycle; tWP ≥ 15 ns minimum pulse width |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10 %; decoupling required per JEDEC guidelines for 20 ns operation |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; separate ground plane recommended for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Industrial temperature grade | –40°C to +85°C operation validated per Renesas qualification standards, not derated |
| Dual standby modes | ISB = 40 mA (TTL-level CS deassertion) and ISB1 = 15 mA (CMOS-level CS deassertion) for adaptive power management |
| Asynchronous static core | No clock, no refresh, no wait states - deterministic timing under all operating conditions |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interfacing with 74LS/74ALS logic families without level-shifting or buffering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256LL-70SXI | Same 32K × 8 organization, 70 ns speed grade, SOIC-28 package, –40°C to +85°C | Slower access invalidates use in <25 ns timing-critical control loops | Select only if system timing budget permits ≥70 ns latency and SOIC footprint is preferred over TSOP |
| AS6C4008-20TIN | 32K × 8, 20 ns, TSOP-28, –40°C to +85°C, but 3.3 V only (not 5 V tolerant) | Requires level-shifting or voltage translation when interfacing with 5 V legacy buses | Choose only when migrating to 3.3 V systems; incompatible with direct 5 V TTL replacement |
Compared with CY62256LL-70SXI and AS6C4008-20TIN, the 71256SA20PZGI uniquely delivers 20 ns performance in a 5 V TTL-compatible TSOP-28 package qualified for industrial temperatures-enabling drop-in replacement in aging 5 V controller designs without layout or voltage rail changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 71256SA20PZGI?
The 71256SA20PZGI does not operate on a clock signal-it is an asynchronous static RAM. Its maximum effective throughput is determined by its 20 ns read/write cycle time (tRC), enabling up to 50 million operations per second in ideal bus conditions. Timing is governed solely by address stability, CS/OE/WE edge alignment, and load capacitance-not by an external clock.
Does the 71256SA20PZGI require refresh circuitry or periodic maintenance?
No. The 71256SA20PZGI uses fully static CMOS memory cells and requires no refresh cycles, clocks, or hidden maintenance operations. Data retention is indefinite as long as VCC remains within specification and temperature stays within –40°C to +85°C. This eliminates timing overhead and simplifies controller firmware design.
Can the 71256SA20PZGI be used in place of a 71256SA15PZGI on the same PCB?
Yes-both share identical TSOP-28 (PZG28) pinout, voltage, and interface signaling. The 71256SA20PZGI is functionally backward-compatible with the 15 ns variant, though it exhibits longer access and cycle times (20 ns vs. 15 ns). System timing margins must be re-verified, but no PCB modification is needed for substitution.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby current in the 71256SA20PZGI?
ISB (40 mA max) activates when CS rises above VIH (≥2.2 V), providing basic deselection. ISB1 (15 mA max) engages only when CS exceeds VHC (VCC – 0.2 V) *and* all other inputs are held cleanly at valid TTL high/low levels-enabling deeper power savings in systems with clean control logic.
Is the 71256SA20PZGI RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes. Per Renesas' 2020 datasheet revision, the 71256SA20PZGI is a "Green" part-compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The "G" suffix in the ordering code confirms this compliance, and material declarations are available through Renesas' official product page.
