Product details
Overview
71256SA20YGI8 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 dual enable control (CS/OE). It serves as main or buffer memory in real-time industrial controllers requiring deterministic, no-refresh data retention.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA20YGI8 datasheet, 71256SA20YGI8 pinout, 71256SA20YGI8 application, or 71256SA20YGI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade timing consistency (tAA = 20 ns, tOE = 10 ns), low standby current (ISB1 = 15 mA), SOJ-28 package compatibility, and direct TTL-level interfacing without level-shifting.
Technical Context
This device implements fully static asynchronous architecture-no clocks or refresh cycles required-enabling seamless integration into legacy microcontroller buses and FPGA-based memory-mapped peripherals. Its dual-enable logic (CS + OE) supports flexible read gating and bus contention management in multi-master systems.
It uses high-reliability CMOS process technology with guaranteed operation across VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and features bidirectional TTL-compatible I/Os (VIH = 2.2 V min, VOL = 0.4 V max), enabling direct connection to 5V microcontrollers and PLDs without interface logic.
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 | Same 32K×8 organization, 70 ns speed grade, SOIC-28 package, 5V-only, ISB = 25 mA (TTL-level) | Slower access limits use in >14 MHz bus systems; higher standby current reduces battery life | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs timing and power requirements |
| AS6C4008-20ZIN | 32K×8, 20 ns, industrial temp, SOJ-28, 5V, ISB1 = 10 mA (lower than 71256SA20YGI8) | Lower standby current but lacks OE pin-requires external bus transceivers for shared-bus isolation | Prefer when ultra-low standby dominates over board area and signal count constraints |
Compared with CY62256ELL-70SNXC and AS6C4008-20ZIN, the 71256SA20YGI8 uniquely balances industrial-grade 20 ns timing, dual-enable bus control, and proven field reliability in Renesas' long-lifecycle portfolio-making it optimal for safety-critical industrial upgrades where timing predictability and pinout stability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed access time for 71256SA20YGI8?
The 71256SA20YGI8 has a maximum guaranteed address access time (tAA) of 20 ns under industrial temperature conditions (–40°C to +85°C) and VCC = 4.5–5.5 V. This value is production-tested per Renesas datasheet Table 9 and applies to all valid address transitions with CS and OE asserted.
Does 71256SA20YGI8 require a refresh circuit?
No, the 71256SA20YGI8 is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh cycles. Its internal circuitry maintains data indefinitely as long as power is applied and CS remains active-low during access. This eliminates refresh overhead in microcontroller or FPGA designs.
What package type and lead count does 71256SA20YGI8 use?
The 71256SA20YGI8 uses a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead) package, identified by code PJG28. It features gull-wing leads, is RoHS-compliant, and supports standard IR-reflow soldering profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Can 71256SA20YGI8 operate with a 3.3V supply?
No, the 71256SA20YGI8 is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation. Its TTL-compatible inputs require VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, and its internal logic and output drivers are not characterized for 3.3V. Using 3.3V may result in undefined behavior or data corruption.
What is the standby current consumption of 71256SA20YGI8 in industrial mode?
In CMOS-level standby (ISB1), the 71256SA20YGI8 draws ≤15 mA at VCC = 5.5 V and TA = +85°C-verified across production lots and guaranteed in Renesas datasheet Table 6. This occurs when CS > VHC (≈4.8 V) and all inputs are at valid TTL levels.
