Product details
Overview
71V256SA12PZGI from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, single 3.3 V ±0.3 V supply, LVTTL-compatible I/O, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as secondary cache memory in 3.3 V embedded computing systems requiring low standby power and fast read/write cycles.
For engineers reviewing the 71V256SA12PZGI datasheet, 71V256SA12PZGI pinout, 71V256SA12PZGI application, or 71V256SA12PZGI equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12 ns tAA/tRC timing, 2 mA full-standby current (ISB1), TSOP Type I (PZG28) package compatibility, and industrial-grade reliability for mission-critical control subsystems.
Technical Context
The 71V256SA12PZGI implements asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent chip select (CS), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls, enabling flexible bus interfacing in microprocessor-based systems. Its address decoder supports full 15-bit addressing (A0–A14) for 32K word access, and I/O pins operate bidirectionally with TTL-level thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max).
Power management is achieved via two standby modes: TTL-level CS HIGH yields ISB ≤ 20 mA, while CMOS-level CS HIGH (VHC ≥ VCC – 0.2 V) guarantees ISB1 ≤ 2 mA at f = 0. All DC and AC parameters-including VOL ≤ 0.4 V (IOL = 8 mA), VOH ≥ 2.4 V (IOH = –4 mA), and tWHZ ≤ 8 ns-are specified across the full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), enabling byte-wide data transfers without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns maximum - supports CPU clock domains up to ~60 MHz in cache applications |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V logic rails and eliminates level-shifting requirements |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256ELL-12ZXI | Same 32K × 8 organization and 12 ns speed, but uses SOIC-28 package (wider 300 mil body vs. TSOP's 8.1 mm width) | Requires PCB layout revision due to different footprint and thermal profile; less suitable for ultra-thin handhelds | Select when existing SOIC-based designs require drop-in replacement with identical timing and voltage specs |
| AS6C4008-12BIN | 12 ns access, industrial temp, but operates at 2.7–3.6 V range (wider than 71V256SA12PZGI's 3.0–3.6 V); higher ISB1 (3 mA max) | Acceptable for mixed-voltage systems where 2.7 V brownout tolerance is needed; marginally higher standby draw | Choose when board-level supply regulation varies beyond ±0.3 V or when sourcing from alternate SRAM vendors is required |
Compared with CY62256ELL-12ZXI and AS6C4008-12BIN, the 71V256SA12PZGI offers the smallest PCB footprint (TSOP), lowest guaranteed ISB1 (2 mA), and strictest 3.3 V supply tolerance-making it optimal for space- and power-constrained industrial edge devices where thermal headroom is limited.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed access time for the 71V256SA12PZGI?
The 71V256SA12PZGI has a maximum guaranteed address access time (tAA) of 12 ns and read cycle time (tRC) of 12 ns under industrial conditions (VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C). This value is production-tested and appears in Table 10 of the Renesas datasheet as a hard specification limit-not a typical or nominal figure.
Does the 71V256SA12PZGI support true low-power standby mode?
Yes, the 71V256SA12PZGI supports full standby mode with guaranteed ISB1 ≤ 2 mA when CS is driven above VHC (≥ VCC – 0.2 V) and all inputs are static (f = 0). This mode reduces power consumption to <6.6 mW and is explicitly validated across the full industrial temperature range per Table 7 in the datasheet.
Which package type does the 71V256SA12PZGI use, and what are its mechanical dimensions?
The 71V256SA12PZGI uses a 28-pin TSOP Type I package coded PZG28, measuring 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch. Its JEDEC-standard footprint matches industry-wide assembly tooling and is documented in Figure 3 of the Renesas datasheet (drawing 3101 drw 03).
Is the 71V256SA12PZGI compatible with LVTTL logic families?
Yes, the 71V256SA12PZGI features LVTTL-compatible inputs and outputs, with VIH(min) = 2.0 V, VIL(max) = 0.8 V, VOL(max) = 0.4 V (IOL = 8 mA), and VOH(min) = 2.4 V (IOH = –4 mA). These thresholds ensure interoperability with standard 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters.
What is the operating temperature grade of the 71V256SA12PZGI?
The 71V256SA12PZGI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed by the "I" suffix in its part number and Table 5 (Recommended DC Operating Conditions) in the Renesas datasheet. This grade is validated for continuous operation under thermal stress without derating.
