Product details
Overview
71256SA20YG from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial-grade temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 20 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 (ISB = 40 mA, ISB1 = 15 mA). Used in real-time control buffers, legacy industrial PLCs, and embedded instrumentation requiring deterministic asynchronous memory access.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA20YG datasheet, 71256SA20YG pinout, 71256SA20YG application, or 71256SA20YG equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 20 ns read/write timing under industrial temperature, SOJ-28 package compatibility, CS/OE dual-control architecture, and CMOS-level standby current (ISB1 = 15 mA) for power-sensitive systems.
Technical Context
The 71256SA20YG implements fully static asynchronous logic-no clocks or refresh required-with independent address decoding and I/O control circuitry. Its dual-enable architecture (CS + OE) enables precise output gating during multi-chip memory configurations and supports high-impedance bus sharing without external transceivers.
It operates across VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and guarantees tAA = 20 ns, tRC = 20 ns, tWC = 20 ns, and tOE = 10 ns at TA = –40°C to +85°C. Standby current drops to ISB1 = 15 mA when CS is held above VHC (VCC – 0.2 V), enabling deep-sleep power management in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256ELL-70SNXC | 70 ns access time, 32K × 8, SOJ-28, commercial temp only (0°C to +70°C) | Limited to benign environments; lacks industrial temp qualification and 20 ns speed | Select only for cost-sensitive non-industrial designs where timing slack exceeds 50 ns |
| AS6C4008-20TIN | 20 ns access, 512K × 8, TSSOP-32, industrial temp, but higher density and different pinout | Requires PCB redesign due to 32-pin TSSOP and incompatible address/data mapping | Choose only when memory capacity upgrade to 4 Mbit is acceptable and board space permits larger package |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the 71256SA20YG?
The 71256SA20YG is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This is explicitly confirmed in the "Features" section and "Recommended Operating Temperature and Supply Voltage" table of the Renesas datasheet (Rev. Jun.29.20), and applies to all speed grades including the 20 ns variant. The part is not qualified for extended or military temperature ranges.
Does the 71256SA20YG require a refresh circuit or clock signal?
No, the 71256SA20YG is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh circuitry or clock signal. Its internal circuitry is entirely asynchronous and operates deterministically using only address, CS, WE, and OE control signals. This eliminates timing overhead and simplifies integration with microcontrollers lacking dedicated DRAM controllers.
What is the meaning of ISB1 = 15 mA in the 71256SA20YG datasheet?
ISB1 = 15 mA is the maximum standby current drawn by the 71256SA20YG when Chip Select (CS) is held above the CMOS high threshold (VHC = VCC – 0.2 V), outputs are in high-impedance, and no address or data lines are switching. This ultra-low-power mode is distinct from TTL-level standby (ISB = 40 mA) and is critical for battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications.
Which package type does the 71256SA20YG use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The 71256SA20YG uses the 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ package (package code PJG28). Per the "Ordering Information" section and "Green parts available" note in the Renesas datasheet, this part is offered as a green (lead-free, RoHS-compliant) device, satisfying environmental compliance requirements for industrial and medical equipment.
Can the 71256SA20YG be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
No-the 71256SA20YG is strictly a 5 V device with TTL-compatible I/O thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and VCC = 4.5–5.5 V requirement. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic risks violating input voltage limits and may cause unreliable operation. A level-shifting solution (e.g., TXB0108 or discrete MOSFET translator) is required for interoperability with 3.3 V systems.
