Product details
Overview
71256SA25YG from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial-grade temperature range (–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 real-time control systems, legacy industrial controllers, and embedded instrumentation requiring deterministic access timing.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA25YG datasheet, 71256SA25YG pinout, 71256SA25YG application, or 71256SA25YG equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (ISB1 = 15 mA), chip select access time (tACS = 25 ns), output enable delay (tOE = 11 ns), and SOJ-28 package compatibility with legacy PCB footprints.
Technical Context
The 71256SA25YG implements fully static asynchronous circuitry-no clocks or refresh required-and uses dual-control logic with independent Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) inputs to manage read/write state transitions. Its bidirectional I/O architecture supports direct TTL-level interfacing without level-shifting.
It features three power states: active read/write (ICC = 145 mA), TTL-level standby (ISB = 40 mA), and CMOS-level deep standby (ISB1 = 15 mA), enabling dynamic power management in battery-backed or energy-constrained systems. All timing parameters are guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide data bus interfacing without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns max; ensures predictable latency for deterministic real-time firmware execution |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 25 ns max; enables sustained 40 MHz burst read throughput in synchronous bus environments |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at CMOS-level CS deassertion; reduces system idle power in always-on monitoring nodes |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy power domains |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and outdoor equipment |
| 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) |
Pinout & Package
71256SA25YG is packaged in a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28) with gull-wing leads, designed for wave-solder compatibility and legacy board reuse. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner on the top surface.
| 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; high-impedance when CS or OE is inactive; no external bus transceivers needed |
| CS | Chip Select | Primary device enable; asserts memory array and I/O drivers when low; supports CMOS-level deep standby when high > VHC |
| OE | Output Enable | Controls output drivers only; allows read data to appear within 11 ns of activation while CS remains asserted |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write on falling edge coincident with CS low; disables outputs during write |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply with dedicated VCC (Pin 24) and GND (Pin 12); decoupling recommended per JEDEC SOJ guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Asynchronous Static Operation | No clock, no refresh, no wait states - simplifies timing-critical microcontroller interfaces and eliminates DRAM controller overhead |
| Dual-Enable Control (CS + OE) | Enables partial bus sharing: OE can gate output without deselecting chip, reducing bus contention in multi-device systems |
| Low-Power Deep Standby (ISB1) | 15 mA max at CMOS-level CS deassertion - cuts standby power by 62.5% vs. TTL-level standby (40 mA) in intermittent-read applications |
| Industrial Temperature Qualification | Guaranteed 25 ns timing across –40°C to +85°C - supports deployment in motor drives, PLC backplanes, and railway signaling hardware |
| Green (RoHS-Compliant) Packaging | Lead-free SOJ construction with halogen-free molding compound - meets IPC-1752A material declaration requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256LL-25ZSXIT | Same 32K × 8 organization, 25 ns speed, but 32-pin TSOP-II (SOIC-32 footprint); higher ICC (160 mA) and ISB (50 mA) | Requires PCB redesign due to different pin count and layout; better suited for new designs with space-constrained layouts | Select when migrating to surface-mount-only assembly and higher-density board stacking is required |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | Pin-compatible 28-pin SOJ, same 25 ns speed, but lower ISB1 (5 mA) and wider VCC range (2.7–5.5 V); not qualified for industrial temp | Limited to commercial-grade environments; unsuitable for extended outdoor or under-hood use | Select only for cost-sensitive consumer or lab-grade instruments where temperature range is not critical |
Compared with CY62256LL-25ZSXIT and AS6C4008-25ZIN, the 71256SA25YG uniquely balances industrial temperature qualification, SOJ-28 drop-in compatibility, and proven reliability in legacy infrastructure-making it the preferred choice for repair, refurbishment, and long-lifecycle maintenance programs.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed access time for the 71256SA25YG?
The 71256SA25YG has a maximum guaranteed address access time (tAA) of 25 ns across its full industrial operating temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table under the 71256SA25 speed grade. This value is production-tested and applies to all valid address and control combinations when VCC is maintained between 4.5 V and 5.5 V.
Does the 71256SA25YG require a refresh circuit or clock signal?
No, the 71256SA25YG is a fully static RAM and requires neither a refresh circuit nor a clock signal. Its internal circuitry operates asynchronously using only CS, OE, WE, and address/data signals. This eliminates timing complexity in microcontroller-based systems and avoids refresh-induced bus contention common in DRAM implementations.
What package type and lead finish does the 71256SA25YG use?
The 71256SA25YG uses a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28) package with gull-wing leads and RoHS-compliant lead-free (Pb-free) finish. The package conforms to JEDEC MO-050AC and is compatible with standard wave soldering processes and legacy SOJ sockets used in industrial backplanes.
Can the 71256SA25YG operate from a 3.3 V supply?
No, the 71256SA25YG is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Its TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive capability (VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –4 mA) are optimized for 5 V logic families. Using 3.3 V violates the Absolute Maximum Ratings and will result in undefined behavior or failure to meet timing specifications.
How does the standby current differ between TTL-level and CMOS-level chip deselect on the 71256SA25YG?
The 71256SA25YG offers two standby modes: ISB = 40 mA when CS is held above VIH (TTL-level deselect), and ISB1 = 15 mA when CS is driven above VHC (CMOS-level deselect). This dual-threshold design allows designers to reduce system idle power by 62.5% in applications where precise control of the CS voltage level is feasible, such as with actively driven control logic.
