Product details
Overview
The 7164S20DB from Renesas Electronics is a military-grade 64K (8K × 8-bit) CMOS static RAM with 20 ns maximum address access time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5V supply operation, and three-state outputs - used in high-reliability embedded systems requiring fast, non-refreshing memory with standby power reduction.
For engineers reviewing the 7164S20DB datasheet, 7164S20DB pinout, 7164S20DB application, or 7164S20DB equivalent, this page delivers verified timing specs, military temperature compliance (–55°C to +125°C), DIP package mapping, DC/AC electrical limits, and real-world use context for avionics, defense computing, and ruggedized data acquisition.
Technical Context
This device implements fully static asynchronous logic with no clock or refresh required. It uses dual chip select inputs (CS1 active-low, CS2 active-high) to enable low-power standby mode when either CS1 is HIGH or CS2 is LOW - automatically reducing ICC to ≤2 mA at f = 0 MHz.
Read and write cycles are controlled via independent OE and WE signals, supporting both WE-controlled and CS-controlled timing modes. The 28-pin CERDIP package supports MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification, with all I/Os meeting TTL voltage thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and drive capability (IOL = 8 mA, VOH ≥ 2.4 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62167EV30LL-45ZSXIT | 512K × 16-bit, 45 ns access, 3.3 V supply, TSOP-II package | Higher density but incompatible voltage and pinout; requires level shifters and PCB redesign | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and needing >64K capacity |
| AS6C4008-20TIN | 512K × 8-bit, 20 ns access, 5 V supply, 32-pin SOJ, industrial temp only (–40°C to +85°C) | Lacks MIL-STD-883 qualification and extended temperature range; unsuitable for defense deployments | Acceptable for commercial/industrial upgrades where military screening is not mandated |
Compared with CY62167EV30LL-45ZSXIT and AS6C4008-20TIN, the 7164S20DB uniquely delivers 20 ns access within a hermetic, MIL-STD-883 Class B qualified 5 V CERDIP package - making it irreplaceable for legacy military hardware sustainment and new designs demanding proven field reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 7164S20DB?
The 7164S20DB is rated for –55°C to +125°C operation and is fully qualified to MIL-STD-883 Class B, including temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and long-term reliability testing across that full military temperature range. This specification is guaranteed and production-tested per Renesas datasheet Rev. 07/30/20.
Does the 7164S20DB require external refresh circuitry?
No - the 7164S20DB is a fully static RAM using CMOS technology with no refresh requirement. Its asynchronous design operates deterministically with stable data retention as long as VCC remains within 4.5 V–5.5 V and ambient temperature stays within spec. This eliminates refresh overhead in real-time systems using the 7164S20DB.
Is the 7164S20DB pin-compatible with other 7164 variants like the 7164L20DB?
Yes - the 7164S20DB shares identical pinout, package (CD28), and functional interface with the 7164L20DB. The only differences are power profile (standard vs. low-power standby) and data retention capability (the 'L' version supports 2 V data retention; the 'S' version does not). Both are drop-in replacements in circuits where battery backup is not required.
What package type does the 7164S20DB use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
The 7164S20DB uses a 28-pin 600-mil ceramic dual in-line package (CERDIP, code CD28). Per Renesas ordering information, it is a "restricted hazardous substance device" - compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and lead-free per JEDEC J-STD-609. Green marking applies; no exemption codes are used.
Can the 7164S20DB operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No - the 7164S20DB is specified only for 5.0 V ±10% (4.5 V–5.5 V) operation. Its TTL-compatible inputs require VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, and its output drive strength (IOL = 8 mA, VOH ≥ 2.4 V) is characterized exclusively at 5 V. Using 3.3 V will result in undefined behavior, failed timing margins, and potential data corruption in the 7164S20DB.
