Product details
Overview
71256SA25TPGI from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8 (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), 25 ns read/write cycle time, TTL-compatible I/O, and single 5 V supply operation. It serves as a non-refreshing, asynchronous memory buffer in embedded controllers, industrial PLCs, and legacy instrumentation requiring deterministic access timing.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA25TPGI datasheet, 71256SA25TPGI pinout, 71256SA25TPGI application, or 71256SA25TPGI equivalent, this device delivers verified 25 ns access under industrial conditions, low-standby current (40 mA ISB), and dual chip select/output enable control for flexible bus interfacing in space-constrained DIP-based designs.
Technical Context
The 71256SA25TPGI 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, enabling stable operation across voltage (4.5–5.5 V) and temperature extremes without timing drift.
All inputs and outputs are TTL-compatible with defined VIH/VIL thresholds and bidirectional I/O drivers. Standby power management is achieved via two distinct low-power modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion), delivering 40 mA and 15 mA supply current respectively at VCC max.

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 | 128K × 8 organization, 45 ns access, 3.3 V supply only, TSOP-32 package | Higher density but incompatible voltage and pinout; requires board redesign and level translation | Select only when upgrading capacity and migrating to 3.3 V systems with available PCB space for 32-pin TSOP |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 512K × 8 organization, 25 ns access, 5 V supply, SOJ-32 package | Double density and same speed, but 32-pin SOJ footprint differs from 28-pin DIP; no direct drop-in replacement | Consider for new designs needing higher memory depth while maintaining 5 V compatibility and industrial temp rating |
Compared with 71256SA25TPGI, CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT offers greater density but mandates 3.3 V operation and package change, whereas AS6C4008-25ZIN matches speed and voltage but requires SOJ-32 layout adaptation - neither is pin-compatible, making 71256SA25TPGI uniquely suited for retrofitting 28-pin DIP-based industrial hardware.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 71256SA25TPGI?
The 71256SA25TPGI does not operate on a clock but supports a maximum sustained read/write cycle rate of 40 MHz, derived from its 25 ns read cycle time (tRC). This enables deterministic, zero-wait-state interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs running at up to 40 MHz bus speeds, provided address and control setup/hold times are met per the datasheet's AC timing table.
Does the 71256SA25TPGI require a refresh circuit or external clock signal?
No, the 71256SA25TPGI uses fully static CMOS design and requires no refresh cycles or clock input. It operates asynchronously - data is accessed solely via address, CS, OE, and WE signals - making it ideal for simple microcontroller buses and real-time systems where clock domain isolation is essential.
Is the 71256SA25TPGI RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 71256SA25TPGI is a green part compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and uses lead-free, halogen-free packaging. The "G" suffix in the ordering code (e.g., TPGI → "G") explicitly denotes Renesas' Green standard, confirmed in the June 2020 datasheet revision and ordering information tables.
Can the 71256SA25TPGI be used in place of the 71256SA15TPGI or 71256SA20TPGI on the same PCB?
Yes - all three share identical pinout, package (PTG28 DIP), voltage, and functional interface. The only difference is guaranteed access time (15/20/25 ns), so substituting 71256SA25TPGI into a design originally using faster variants will maintain full electrical and mechanical compatibility, though maximum bus speed must be reduced to match the 25 ns timing.
What is the purpose of the two standby current specifications (ISB and ISB1) for the 71256SA25TPGI?
ISB (40 mA max) activates when CS rises above TTL VIH (≥2.2 V), suitable for systems using standard logic-level deassertion. ISB1 (15 mA max) engages only when CS exceeds CMOS threshold (VCC – 0.2 V), enabling deeper power savings in designs with clean, rail-swing control signals - both modes retain full data retention without loss.
