Product details
Overview
71256SA20YGI from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial temperature support (–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 lines, and low-power standby modes - used in legacy industrial controllers, test equipment memory buffers, and embedded instrumentation requiring deterministic asynchronous read/write timing.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA20YGI datasheet, 71256SA20YGI pinout, 71256SA20YGI application, or 71256SA20YGI equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 20 ns tAA/tRC timing at industrial temperature, SOJ-28 package compatibility, CS/OE dual-control architecture, and ISB1 standby current of 15 mA under CMOS-level deselect - critical for power-constrained edge nodes and long-life deployed systems.
Technical Context
The 71256SA20YGI 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) and output hold (tOH = 3 ns) for stable bus interfacing.
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 current splits into two modes: ISB = 40 mA (TTL-level CS deassertion) and ISB1 = 15 mA (CMOS-level CS deassertion), enabling design-level power-state optimization.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide parallel data transfers without multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and TA = –40°C to +85°C; guarantees deterministic read latency in real-time control loops. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation. |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V, CMOS-level CS deassertion; enables ultra-low-power sleep mode in battery-backed systems. |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-compatible inputs/outputs; interfaces directly with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIO without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade; qualified for deployment in factory automation, transportation, and outdoor monitoring hardware. |
| Package | 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28); surface-mount compatible with legacy reflow profiles and manual repair accessibility. |
Pinout & Package
71256SA20YGI is housed in a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28) package with gull-wing leads, designed for PCB surface-mount assembly and thermal reliability in industrial environments.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus (32K = 2¹⁵); latched on CS low transition; no internal multiplexing required. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; direction controlled by WE and OE; high-impedance when deselected or OE high. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for device selection; controls ISB/ISB1 standby modes and initiates all access cycles. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers only; allows read data gating independent of CS during multi-chip memory banking. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal defining write cycle timing; overlaps with CS low to initiate data capture into memory array. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling recommended within 10 mm of pin per high-speed RAM layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling during fast transitions. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully static asynchronous operation | No clock, no refresh, no wait states - simplifies timing-critical controller designs and eliminates dynamic power overhead. |
| Dual standby current modes (ISB / ISB1) | Enables hierarchical power management: 40 mA (TTL CS) for fast wake-up vs. 15 mA (CMOS CS) for deep sleep in energy-sensitive applications. |
| Separate CS and OE pins | Supports interleaved read operations across multiple SRAMs and enables output masking without chip deselection - critical for bus arbitration. |
| TTL-compatible I/O with 5 V supply | Direct interface with legacy microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, Z80, Motorola 68K) and FPGA I/O banks without external level shifters or resistors. |
| Industrial temperature qualification | Guaranteed 20 ns timing and full functionality across –40°C to +85°C - validated for use in uncontrolled ambient environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT | 32K × 8-bit, 45 ns access, 3.3 V supply, TSOP-28 package; lower speed but lower voltage and newer process. | Targets modern 3.3 V embedded systems; not drop-in compatible due to voltage and timing mismatch. | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and relaxing timing to ≥45 ns. |
| AS6C4008-20PIN | 512K × 8-bit, 20 ns access, 5 V supply, PDIP-28; higher density but larger package footprint and higher ICC (180 mA). | Suitable for space-tolerant upgrades where board area permits larger DIP and thermal budget allows higher active current. | Choose when memory expansion beyond 256 KByte is needed and SOJ-to-DIP adapter is acceptable. |
Compared with CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT and AS6C4008-20PIN, the 71256SA20YGI uniquely balances industrial temperature support, 5 V TTL compatibility, SOJ-28 form factor, and 20 ns performance - making it irreplaceable in legacy 5 V control systems where voltage, timing, and package constraints are fixed.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 71256SA20YGI?
The 71256SA20YGI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is guaranteed across all specified AC and DC parameters including 20 ns access time, 15 mA ISB1 standby current, and TTL-compatible I/O thresholds - validated per Renesas qualification standards for extended deployment in uncontrolled environments.
Does the 71256SA20YGI require a clock or refresh circuit?
No, the 71256SA20YGI uses fully static asynchronous CMOS design and requires no clock signal or periodic refresh cycles. All operations are controlled solely by CS, OE, and WE timing - eliminating refresh overhead, reducing system complexity, and ensuring deterministic latency for real-time embedded applications using the 71256SA20YGI.
What package type does the 71256SA20YGI use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The 71256SA20YGI uses a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28) package. Per Renesas ordering information and datasheet revision history, it is a green (lead-free, RoHS-compliant) device - confirmed by "G" suffix in part number and "Green parts available" statement in the Features section of the 71256SA20YGI documentation.
How does the dual standby mode (ISB vs. ISB1) work on the 71256SA20YGI?
The 71256SA20YGI offers two standby current modes: ISB = 40 mA activates when CS rises above VIH (≥2.2 V), while ISB1 = 15 mA engages when CS rises above VHC (VCC – 0.2 V). This allows system designers to choose faster wake-up (ISB) or deeper power savings (ISB1) depending on host controller drive capability - a key feature distinguishing the 71256SA20YGI from basic SRAMs.
Can the 71256SA20YGI be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
No - the 71256SA20YGI is strictly a 5 V device with TTL-compatible thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and requires VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic risks violating input voltage limits and causing undefined behavior. Level translation or voltage translation is mandatory when interfacing the 71256SA20YGI with 3.3 V microcontrollers.
