Product details
Overview
71256SA20YG8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM operating at 5V, with 20 ns access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), TTL-compatible I/O, and single-chip-select architecture. It serves as main or buffer memory in real-time control systems requiring deterministic read/write timing without refresh.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA20YG8 datasheet, 71256SA20YG8 pinout, 71256SA20YG8 application, or 71256SA20YG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade reliability, 20 ns tAA/tRC timing, SOJ-28 package compatibility, and low ISB1 standby current (15 mA) for power-sensitive embedded designs.
Technical Context
The 71256SA20YG8 implements fully static asynchronous operation-no clocks or refresh required-and uses dual-control logic with independent Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) pins to support interleaved read/write cycles and output tri-state management. Its bidirectional I/O lines are directly TTL-compatible, eliminating level-shifting circuitry.
It features two distinct standby modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40 mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15 mA max), enabling dynamic power optimization based on system bus voltage thresholds. Address decoding is internal, supporting full 15-bit address space (A0–A14) for 32K word selection.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-20TIN | Same 32K × 8 organization, 20 ns speed, but 28-pin TSOP-I (PZG28) package; lower ISB1 (5 mA) | Preferred where board space is constrained and reflow profile favors TSOP over SOJ | Select if footprint revision allows TSOP and ultra-low standby current is prioritized over mechanical ruggedness |
| IS61LV25616AL-20TI | 16-bit bus width (256K × 16), 20 ns, 44-pin TSOP-II; higher density, wider data path | Suitable for 16-bit microcontrollers or FPGAs needing reduced address cycles per transfer | Choose only when migrating to wider data bus architecture-requires PCB redesign and software alignment changes |
Compared with AS6C4008-20TIN and IS61LV25616AL-20TI, the 71256SA20YG8 offers proven SOJ-28 mechanical reliability in vibration-prone environments and direct drop-in compatibility with legacy 5V 8-bit controller designs, without requiring bus-width or layout changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature specification for the 71256SA20YG8?
The 71256SA20YG8 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all electrical parameters including tAA (20 ns), ISB1 (15 mA max), and VIH/VIL thresholds. The device undergoes temperature cycling validation per JEDEC JESD22-A108, ensuring reliability in harsh environments such as factory-floor controllers and outdoor telemetry units.
Does the 71256SA20YG8 require an external clock or refresh circuitry?
No, the 71256SA20YG8 uses fully static CMOS design with no clocks or refresh cycles required. Its asynchronous architecture relies solely on address, CS, WE, and OE signal timing-enabling seamless integration with microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs lacking dedicated memory controllers. All timing parameters (e.g., tRC = 20 ns) are valid under static DC conditions.
What package type and lead count does the 71256SA20YG8 use?
The 71256SA20YG8 uses a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead) package, identified as PJG28 in Renesas documentation. It features gull-wing J-leads optimized for reflow soldering, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish, and mechanical dimensions conforming to JEDEC MO-080. Pin pitch is 1.27 mm, body width 7.62 mm.
How does the 71256SA20YG8 manage power in standby mode?
The 71256SA20YG8 supports two standby modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40 mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15 mA max). ISB1 activates when CS rises above VHC (VCC – 0.2 V), reducing current by 62.5% versus ISB-critical for battery-buffered systems. Both modes retain full data without refresh.
Is the 71256SA20YG8 pin-compatible with other speed grades in the same package?
Yes, all 71256SA variants-including 71256SA12YG8, 71256SA15YG8, 71256SA20YG8, and 71256SA25YG8-share identical SOJ-28 (PJG28) pinout, voltage ratings, and functional logic. Speed grade differences affect only AC timing parameters (tAA, tRC, etc.), allowing hardware reuse across performance tiers during prototyping or cost optimization.
