Product details
Overview
7164L70DB from Renesas Electronics is a military-grade 64K (8K × 8-bit) CMOS static RAM with 70 ns maximum 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 standby power-down via dual chip select (CS1/CS2) control. Used in avionics, radar processors, and hardened embedded systems requiring non-volatile SRAM persistence during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the 7164L70DB datasheet, 7164L70DB pinout, 7164L70DB application, or 7164L70DB equivalent, this page delivers verified military-qualified timing, DC/AC electrical specs, package mapping to 28-pin CERDIP, and real-world design context for high-reliability memory subsystems.
Technical Context
The 7164L70DB implements fully static asynchronous operation-no clocks or refresh required-and uses dual chip select logic where CS2 powers down CS1 but not vice versa. Its low-power (L) variant enables data retention at VCC ≥ 2.0 V while drawing ≤ 200 µA in standby across –55°C to +125°C.
Address access time (tAA) is guaranteed ≤ 70 ns under military conditions (VCC = 5.0 V ± 10%, TA = –55°C to +125°C), with read cycle time (tRC) ≤ 70 ns and write cycle time (tWC) ≤ 70 ns. Input leakage is ≤ 5 µA (commercial/industrial) or ≤ 10 µA (military), and output drive meets TTL voltage thresholds (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ IOL = 8 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 8K × 8-bit (65,536 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 70 ns max - guarantees deterministic read latency in real-time military control loops |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - enables battery-backed operation during main supply failure without external regulators |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerant of MIL-STD-704 transients |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to +125°C - qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B for aerospace and defense platforms |
| Package | 28-pin 600 mil CERDIP (CD28) - hermetically sealed, leaded ceramic for high-reliability PCB mounting |
| Power Dissipation | 1.0 W max - limits thermal stress in conduction-cooled avionics enclosures |
Pinout & Package
7164L70DB is housed in a 28-pin 600 mil CERDIP (CD28) package with 0.6-inch width, ceramic body, and through-hole leads. Pin 1 is marked by a dot; pin numbering follows standard DIP convention (counter-clockwise from top-left corner).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus for selecting one of 8,192 memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Three-state TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when CS inactive or OE disabled |
| CS1, CS2 | Chip Select Inputs | CS2 dominates CS1: CS2 LOW forces standby regardless of CS1 state; both must be active for read/write |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control; LOW with CS1/CS2 active initiates write; HIGH enables read mode |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control; enables output drivers only during read cycles; no effect on write |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 7164L70DB?
The 7164L70DB is rated for –55°C to +125°C and qualified per MIL-STD-883 Class B. This range is validated through temperature cycling, steady-state burn-in, and parametric testing across extremes-ensuring reliable operation in jet engine bays, missile guidance sections, and satellite payload compartments where ambient temperatures exceed commercial or industrial limits.
Does the 7164L70DB require external refresh circuitry?
No, the 7164L70DB is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh cycles. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as power is applied above 2.0 V (for retention) or 4.5 V (for active operation). This eliminates timing-critical refresh controllers and simplifies integration into deterministic real-time systems.
How does the dual chip select (CS1/CS2) logic function on the 7164L70DB?
CS2 has priority over CS1: if CS2 is LOW, the device enters standby regardless of CS1 state. Both CS1 = LOW and CS2 = HIGH are required for normal read/write operation. This hierarchical control allows flexible power sequencing-e.g., CS2 can be tied to master system reset while CS1 selects individual memory banks.
Can the 7164L70DB operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No-the 7164L70DB is specified only for 4.5–5.5 V operation. Its TTL-compatible inputs require VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, and its internal logic levels, drive strength, and data retention behavior are characterized exclusively at 5 V. Using 3.3 V risks functional failure, timing violations, and loss of data retention capability.
Is the 7164L70DB still recommended for new designs?
Yes-the 7164L70DB remains actively supported by Renesas with documented availability and no obsolescence notice. While newer low-voltage SRAMs exist, the 7164L70DB is maintained specifically for legacy military/aerospace programs requiring drop-in replacement, long-term supply assurance, and proven field reliability in harsh environments.
