Product details
Overview
71256SA25TPG from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 25 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and industrial-grade temperature range support (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as a non-refreshing, asynchronous memory buffer in embedded controllers, instrumentation front-ends, and legacy industrial PLCs requiring deterministic read/write timing.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA25TPG datasheet, 71256SA25TPG pinout, 71256SA25TPG application, or 71256SA25TPG equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 25 ns tAA/tRC timing at full industrial temperature range, CS/OE dual-control read enable, standby current of 40 mA (ISB) and 15 mA (ISB1), and compatibility with 28-pin 300-mil plastic DIP (PTG28) footprint.
Technical Context
The 71256SA25TPG implements fully static asynchronous circuitry-no clocks or refresh required-and uses high-reliability CMOS fabrication for stable operation across voltage (4.5 V–5.5 V) and temperature extremes. Its control logic supports both chip-select–driven and output-enable–driven read cycles, with tOE = 11 ns and tCLZ = 4 ns ensuring fast data assertion after CS or OE activation.
Write operations are governed by overlapping CS and WE low states, with tWP = 20 ns minimum pulse width and tDW = 13 ns data-valid-to-end-of-write timing. The device features bidirectional TTL-compatible I/O pins (I/O0–I/O7), one Chip Select (CS), one Output Enable (OE), one Write Enable (WE), and 15 address inputs (A0–A14), enabling direct integration into 8-bit microprocessor buses without level-shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); matches standard 8-bit data bus width with no interleaving needed |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, 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 legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS systems without regulation overhead |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at CMOS-level deselect (CS > VHC); enables low-power sleep mode in battery-backed systems |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ 8 mA) |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade; qualified for deployment in uncontrolled cabinet environments |
| Package | 28-pin 300-mil plastic DIP (PTG28); through-hole mountable with 2.54 mm pitch, compatible with legacy PCB tooling |
Pinout & Package
71256SA25TPG is housed in a 28-pin 300-mil plastic DIP (PTG28) package with 0.3-inch body width and standard dual-in-line footprint. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot; pin numbering follows standard counter-clockwise layout when viewed from top.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting full 32K address space; no internal latching-address must be stable before CS/WE assertion |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; direction controlled by CS/WE/OE state-no external transceivers required |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; device enters standby (high-Z outputs, ISB = 40 mA) when high; tPD = 25 ns exit delay |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; enables outputs only when CS is low; tOE = 11 ns propagation ensures tight timing closure |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write on falling edge when CS is low; tWP = 20 ns minimum pulse width |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin (Pin 24); requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per JEDEC guidelines |
| GND | Ground | Reference return (Pin 12); separate ground plane recommended for noise-sensitive analog-adjacent layouts |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Static Operation | No clock, no refresh, no wait states-simplifies timing design in microcontroller-based systems with irregular memory access patterns |
| Dual-Enable Read Control | Independent CS and OE pins allow flexible bus arbitration: CS selects device, OE gates output drivers-enables shared-bus multiplexing |
| Low-Power Standby Modes | Two-tier standby: ISB = 40 mA (TTL-level CS high), ISB1 = 15 mA (CMOS-level CS high)-supports hierarchical power management |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Direct interface to 80Cxx, Z80, and 68000-family processors without level shifters or bus buffers |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | Full AC/DC specs guaranteed from –40°C to +85°C-validated for use in motor drives, factory automation, and outdoor telemetry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256ELL-70SNXI | 32K × 8, 70 ns access, SOIC-28, 5 V, –40°C to +85°C | Slower timing invalidates use in <25 ns cycle-critical systems; lower ICC (35 mA) but higher tAA limits real-time response | Select only if system timing budget allows ≥70 ns latency and SOIC footprint is preferred over DIP |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 512K × 8, 25 ns access, TSOP-32, 3.3 V, –40°C to +85°C | Higher density and 3.3 V operation require level translation and board layout changes; not pin-compatible | Choose for future-proofing where 3.3 V infrastructure exists and 512K capacity justifies redesign effort |
Compared with CY62256ELL-70SNXI and AS6C4008-25ZIN, the 71256SA25TPG uniquely delivers 25 ns performance in a through-hole 28-pin DIP at 5 V while maintaining industrial temperature compliance-making it optimal for legacy system repair, calibration equipment, and cost-sensitive industrial retrofits where layout change is prohibited.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed access time for 71256SA25TPG across its full industrial temperature range?
The 71256SA25TPG has a maximum guaranteed address access time (tAA) of 25 ns and read cycle time (tRC) of 25 ns when operated from –40°C to +85°C at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V. These values are production-tested and specified in the Renesas datasheet revision Jun.29.20, Table 9, under the 71256SA25 column. This timing applies directly to the 71256SA25TPG part number.
Does 71256SA25TPG support true bidirectional data transfer without external transceivers?
Yes, the 71256SA25TPG integrates bidirectional I/O drivers on pins I/O0–I/O7 that are TTL-compatible and internally controlled by CS, WE, and OE logic. When CS is low and WE is high, outputs are enabled upon OE low; when WE is low, inputs are latched. No external transceivers or direction-control logic are required-this capability is inherent to the 71256SA25TPG architecture.
What are the two standby current modes of 71256SA25TPG and how are they triggered?
The 71256SA25TPG offers two standby current modes: ISB = 40 mA (TTL-level standby, triggered when CS > VIH) and ISB1 = 15 mA (CMOS-level standby, triggered when CS > VHC ≈ VCC – 0.2 V). Both modes place outputs in high-impedance and reduce dynamic current; ISB1 delivers deeper power savings but requires tighter input threshold control. These specifications are confirmed for the 71256SA25TPG in Table 6 of the datasheet.
Is 71256SA25TPG pin-compatible with earlier IDT71256 variants in the same PTG28 package?
Yes, the 71256SA25TPG maintains identical pinout, electrical behavior, and timing architecture as other IDT71256SA speed grades (e.g., 71256SA12TPG, 71256SA15TPG) in the PTG28 package. All share the same 28-pin DIP mapping, address/data/control signal assignments, and DC/AC characteristics-enabling field-upgrade of timing performance without hardware modification. This compatibility is documented in Renesas' Pin Configurations section (Figure 2a).
Can 71256SA25TPG operate reliably at 4.5 V supply voltage across its full industrial temperature range?
Yes, the 71256SA25TPG is fully specified and production-tested at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V across –40°C to +85°C. DC parameters-including VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V, and VIH ≥ 2.2 V-are guaranteed at VCC = 4.5 V min, and AC timing (tAA = 25 ns, tRC = 25 ns) holds under these conditions. This validation is explicitly stated in Tables 4 and 9 of the Renesas 71256SA25TPG datasheet.
