Product details
Overview
7164L25DB from Renesas Electronics is a 64K (8K × 8-bit) low-power CMOS static RAM with 25 ns maximum address access time, TTL-compatible I/O, three-state outputs, and battery backup data retention down to 2 V. It operates from a single 5 V supply and supports military temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) in a 28-pin CERDIP package.
For engineers reviewing the 7164L25DB datasheet, 7164L25DB pinout, 7164L25DB application, or 7164L25DB equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, standby power behavior, chip select logic, data retention capability, and military-grade reliability context essential for avionics, defense computing, and ruggedized embedded memory design.
Technical Context
The 7164L25DB implements fully static asynchronous operation-no clocks or refresh required-and uses dual chip select (CS1/CS2) with hierarchical power-down: CS2 deactivates CS1, enabling precise low-power standby control. Its L-version architecture integrates data retention circuitry that maintains memory state at VCC ≥ 2.0 V across full military temperature range.
Input and output pins are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2.2 V min, VOL = 0.4 V max at IOL = 8 mA), and all DC/AC specifications-including tAA = 25 ns, tRC = 25 ns, ISB = 5 µA (typ), and ICC = 110 mA (max)-are guaranteed over –55°C to +125°C per MIL-STD-883 Class B.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 8K × 8-bit (65,536 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns max - defines minimum address setup-to-data-valid delay in read cycles |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - enables battery-backed operation during main power loss |
| Standby Current (ISB) | 5 µA typical - ultra-low quiescent draw in deselected mode with CS1 HIGH or CS2 LOW |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - single-supply compatibility with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS systems |
| Temperature Range | –55°C to +125°C - qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B for mission-critical environments |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible inputs/outputs - eliminates level-shifting in mixed-logic designs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin 600 mil CERDIP (CD28), hermetically sealed ceramic dual in-line package with glass-sealed leads, rated for high-reliability military applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus selecting one of 8K memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CS inactive or OE/WE disabled |
| CS1, CS2 | Chip Select Inputs | CS1 active LOW and CS2 active HIGH enable device; CS2 LOW forces standby regardless of CS1 |
| WE | Write Enable | LOW initiates write cycle; HIGH enables read or high-Z output state |
| OE | Output Enable | LOW enables data output; HIGH places I/O pins in high-impedance state |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply with dedicated ground; decoupling required per MIL-STD-883 layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery backup data retention | Maintains stored data at VCC ≥ 2.0 V across full military temperature range without external circuitry |
| Dual hierarchical chip select | CS2 overrides CS1: CS2 LOW forces immediate low-power standby, enabling deterministic power gating |
| Three-state TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interface to 5 V TTL microprocessors and peripherals without level shifters or pull-ups |
| Zero-refresh static operation | No clock, timer, or external refresh controller needed - simplifies system timing and reduces BOM count |
| MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance | Qualified for high-reliability applications including aerospace, defense electronics, and space-qualified subsystems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7164S25DB | Standard power version: ISB = 20 µA (typ), no 2 V data retention | Lacks battery backup capability; suitable only where continuous main power is guaranteed | Select when lower standby current is not required and cost optimization is prioritized over retention resilience |
| AS6C62256-25PC | 256K × 1-bit organization, 25 ns access, 3.3 V compatible, commercial temp only | Higher density but narrower data bus; incompatible voltage and temperature grading | Consider only for non-military upgrades where board redesign accommodates 3.3 V and revised pinout |
Compared with 7164S25DB and AS6C62256-25PC, the 7164L25DB uniquely combines military temperature support, 2 V data retention, and 8-bit parallel interface in a drop-in CERDIP footprint-making it irreplaceable for legacy-replacement and safety-critical retention use cases.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed maximum access time for the 7164L25DB?
The 7164L25DB guarantees a maximum address access time (tAA) of 25 ns across its full military operating temperature range (–55°C to +125°C) when VCC = 5.0 V ±10%. This value is production-tested and specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table under "IDT7164L" column for 25 ns speed grade. The 7164L25DB achieves this timing using advanced CMOS process technology optimized for low-latency static memory operation.
Does the 7164L25DB support true battery backup operation?
Yes, the 7164L25DB supports true battery backup operation: its L-version architecture guarantees data retention at VCC ≥ 2.0 V across –55°C to +125°C, as confirmed in Table 10 (Data Retention Characteristics). This capability is intrinsic to the 7164L25DB die design and requires no external components-enabling seamless transition to backup power during main supply failure.
Is the 7164L25DB pin-compatible with the 7164S25DB?
Yes, the 7164L25DB is pin-compatible with the 7164S25DB: both share identical 28-pin CD28 CERDIP packaging, identical pinout (A0–A12, I/O0–I/O7, CS1, CS2, WE, OE, VCC, GND), and identical logic-level definitions. The only functional differences are standby current (5 µA vs. 20 µA typ) and data retention voltage (2.0 V vs. none), making the 7164L25DB a direct upgrade for retention-critical designs.
What is the meaning of "Class B" qualification for the 7164L25DB?
"Class B" refers to MIL-STD-883 qualification level requiring full electrical testing at temperature extremes (–55°C and +125°C), mechanical shock/vibration screening, and hermeticity verification. For the 7164L25DB, this means every unit undergoes burn-in and parametric validation per Method 1015, ensuring suitability for high-reliability defense and aerospace deployments where field failure is unacceptable.
Can the 7164L25DB operate with CS1 and CS2 asserted simultaneously?
No-the 7164L25DB requires complementary chip select logic: CS1 must be LOW and CS2 must be HIGH for normal read/write operation. If both are asserted (CS1 = LOW, CS2 = HIGH), the device functions normally. However, if CS2 goes LOW while CS1 remains LOW, the 7164L25DB immediately enters standby mode regardless of WE/OE states-a feature confirmed in the Truth Table (Table 2) and explicitly documented as hierarchical power control.
