Product details
Overview
71256SA25YG8 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, and single 5 V supply operation. It serves as a non-refreshing, asynchronous memory buffer in embedded controllers, instrumentation data loggers, and legacy industrial PLCs requiring deterministic access timing.
For engineers reviewing the 71256SA25YG8 datasheet, 71256SA25YG8 pinout, 71256SA25YG8 application, or 71256SA25YG8 equivalent, this device delivers verified 25 ns access under industrial conditions, low-standby current (40 mA ISB), and SOJ-28 packaging compatible with space-constrained board layouts - critical for retrofitting aging systems with extended lifecycle requirements.
Technical Context
The 71256SA25YG8 implements fully static asynchronous circuitry with no clocks or refresh cycles required. Its control logic supports independent chip select (CS) and output enable (OE) pins, enabling flexible bus arbitration and partial-memory disable without affecting adjacent devices.
It features bidirectional TTL-compatible I/O lines (I/O₀–I/O₇), 15 address inputs (A₀–A₁₄), and operates across VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V. Standby current drops to 15 mA (ISB1) when CS is held at CMOS-high level, supporting low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits); supports byte-wide parallel data transfers without multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns max; guarantees deterministic read latency for real-time control loops with fixed-cycle execution. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and outdoor telemetry. |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 71256SA25YG8?
The 71256SA25YG8 operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V DC. This 5 V nominal supply range ensures compatibility with legacy TTL and CMOS logic families without external regulation. The device maintains full AC/DC specifications across this window, including guaranteed 25 ns access time and 40 mA ISB at VCC = 5.5 V. Operation outside this range may cause data corruption or parametric failure.
Does the 71256SA25YG8 require a clock or refresh signal?
No, the 71256SA25YG8 uses fully static CMOS architecture and requires neither a clock nor periodic refresh. All timing is controlled asynchronously via CS, OE, and WE signals. This eliminates timing controller complexity and makes the 71256SA25YG8 ideal for simple microcontroller interfaces and systems where deterministic, zero-latency access is essential - such as real-time control loops or burst-mode data capture.
What is the meaning of the 'YG8' suffix in 71256SA25YG8?
The 'YG8' suffix in 71256SA25YG8 indicates a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ package (PJG28) supplied in tape-and-reel format ('8'), with industrial temperature grade ('I' implied by YG designation in Renesas' ordering matrix). This matches the official Renesas ordering information table, confirming the part is qualified for –40°C to +85°C operation and optimized for automated SMT assembly.
How does the 71256SA25YG8 handle bus contention during read/write transitions?
The 71256SA25YG8 prevents bus contention through three mechanisms: (1) OE-controlled output enable/disable with 11 ns tOHZ, (2) CS-gated tri-state outputs during deselect, and (3) bidirectional I/O lines that enter high-impedance state within 4 ns of OE or CS deassertion (tOLZ/tCHZ). These ensure clean bus release before subsequent device access - critical in multi-SRAM systems like memory-mapped peripherals in industrial controllers.
Is the 71256SA25YG8 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the 71256SA25YG8 is a green, RoHS-compliant device with lead-free terminations, as confirmed by Renesas' ordering documentation (suffix 'G') and "Restricted hazardous substance device" labeling in the datasheet. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles, making it suitable for environmentally regulated industrial and medical applications.
