Product details
Overview
71256SA25PZGI from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 25 ns read/write cycle time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and TSOP-28 package. It serves as nonvolatile cache or buffer memory in real-time control systems requiring deterministic access without refresh.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA25PZGI datasheet, 71256SA25PZGI pinout, 71256SA25PZGI application, or 71256SA25PZGI equivalent, this device supports fast asynchronous read/write cycles with 6 ns output enable delay, low standby current (40 mA at max VCC), and dual chip-select logic for memory banking in legacy industrial controllers and instrumentation.
Technical Context
The 71256SA25PZGI implements fully static asynchronous circuitry-no clocks or refresh required-and uses TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) with bidirectional I/O pins directly interfacing microcontroller data buses. Its control logic decodes CS, OE, and WE independently to enable read, write, and high-impedance states without bus contention.
It features two standby modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40 mA max ICC) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15 mA max ICC), enabling power-aware memory management in battery-backed or energy-constrained embedded systems. Address access time (tAA) and cycle time (tRC) are both guaranteed at 25 ns across the full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit array); supports byte-wide parallel data transfer without multiplexing |
| Access/Cycle Time | 25 ns (tAA and tRC); ensures compatibility with 40 MHz bus timing in legacy 8/16-bit microcontrollers |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; tolerates ±10% regulation drift common in unregulated industrial power rails |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for use in motor drives, PLCs, and outdoor telemetry hardware |
| Standby Current | 40 mA (ISB) / 15 mA (ISB1); enables low-power sleep modes when memory is deselected |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-level inputs and outputs; eliminates need for level-shifting logic on 5 V MCU buses |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28); 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm footprint compatible with space-constrained PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
71256SA25PZGI is housed in a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package with 0.5 mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant, and lead-free (Green) construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word decoding; no internal latching - requires stable address during CS low |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; transitions between input (write) and output (read) controlled by OE/WE/CS logic |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; deassertion places device in ISB or ISB1 standby depending on voltage threshold |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers; tOE = 11 ns max ensures fast data release after address valid |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls data capture timing with tWP = 20 ns minimum pulse width |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; bypass capacitor recommended within 10 mm due to dynamic ICC up to 145 mA |
| GND | Ground | Signal reference for all I/O and internal logic; separate ground plane recommended for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Static Operation | No clock, no refresh required - simplifies timing design in microcontroller-based systems with irregular memory access patterns |
| Dual Standby Modes | ISB (40 mA) and ISB1 (15 mA) allow trade-off between wake-up latency and power savings based on system response requirements |
| Fast Output Enable | tOE = 11 ns max enables rapid data sampling in burst-read applications such as oscilloscope waveform buffering |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | Guaranteed 25 ns performance across –40°C to +85°C - validated for deployment in factory automation and transportation electronics |
| Green (RoHS-Compliant) Packaging | Lead-free TSOP construction meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow profiles and environmental compliance mandates |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256ELL-25ZXI | Same 32K×8 organization, 25 ns speed, but uses SOIC-28 package and has higher ISB (60 mA) | Lacks TSOP footprint; unsuitable for height-constrained designs where PZG28 is specified | Select if board already uses SOIC layout and higher standby current is acceptable |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 25 ns speed, industrial temp, but requires 2.7–3.6 V supply - not 5 V compatible | Incompatible with legacy 5 V bus systems; needs level translation or regulator redesign | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing ultra-low power over backward compatibility |
Compared with CY62256ELL-25ZXI and AS6C4008-25ZIN, the 71256SA25PZGI uniquely delivers 5 V TTL compatibility, TSOP-28 footprint, and 15 mA ISB1 current - making it the only drop-in replacement for existing industrial boards designed around IDT/Renesas 71256SA family layouts.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 71256SA25PZGI?
The 71256SA25PZGI does not operate on a clock signal - it is an asynchronous SRAM. Its 25 ns read/write cycle time corresponds to a maximum effective bus frequency of 40 MHz when used with zero-wait-state controllers. Timing is governed by tRC and tWC parameters, not clock edges, enabling flexible integration with microcontrollers lacking dedicated memory controllers.
Does the 71256SA25PZGI require external refresh circuitry?
No, the 71256SA25PZGI is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh cycles or external refresh circuitry. Its CMOS memory array retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied and CS remains asserted during active use. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead in real-time systems where deterministic latency is essential.
Can the 71256SA25PZGI be used in place of the 71256SA25PZG (commercial grade)?
Yes, the 71256SA25PZGI is functionally identical to the commercial-grade 71256SA25PZG except for its extended industrial temperature qualification (–40°C to +85°C). Both share identical timing specs, pinout, and electrical characteristics at 25 ns. The 'I' suffix denotes temperature grade only - no layout or firmware changes are needed for migration.
What is the purpose of the ISB1 standby mode in the 71256SA25PZGI?
The ISB1 mode activates when CS is driven above VHC (VCC – 0.2 V), placing the 71256SA25PZGI in ultra-low-power standby with ICC ≤15 mA. This mode is ideal for battery-backed systems where memory must retain data for days or weeks while minimizing drain - distinct from standard ISB (≤40 mA), which triggers at lower CS voltage thresholds.
Is the 71256SA25PZGI RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 71256SA25PZGI is a Green (RoHS-compliant) part with lead-free TSOP packaging, conforming to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 reflow standards. The 'G' in the orderable part number explicitly denotes RoHS compliance, and the device meets Renesas' restricted hazardous substance requirements per the June 2020 datasheet revision.
