Product details
Overview
71V256SA15YG8 from Renesas Electronics is a 3.3V CMOS static RAM organized as 32K × 8 (256K-bit), designed for high-speed secondary cache in 3.3V desktop and embedded systems. It delivers 15ns access time, operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), consumes ≤2mA standby current, and uses LVTTL-compatible I/O on a single 3.3V ±0.3V supply.
For engineers reviewing the 71V256SA15YG8 datasheet, 71V256SA15YG8 pinout, 71V256SA15YG8 application, or 71V256SA15YG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible timing margins, low-power standby mode activation via CS, SOJ-28 package footprint compatibility, and guaranteed tAA/tRC/tWC performance at 15ns speed grade under VCC = 3.3V ±0.3V.
Technical Context
The 71V256SA15YG8 implements asynchronous SRAM architecture with full address decoding and bidirectional data I/O lines. Its control logic supports three operating modes-read, write, and standby-governed by independent CS, WE, and OE signals, enabling flexible bus interface timing in processor-centric designs.
Standby power management is achieved through dual-level chip select: TTL-level CS (VIH) enables ISB ≤20mA, while CMOS-level CS (VHC) activates full standby with ISB1 ≤2mA and guaranteed power <6.6mW at f = 0. All inputs and outputs meet LVTTL voltage thresholds (VIH ≥2.0V, VIL ≤0.8V) and drive capabilities (IOH = –4mA, IOL = 8mA).
Key Specifications

| Access Time (tAA) | 15ns max; ensures compatibility with 66MHz CPU bus cycles in secondary cache applications |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3V ±0.3V; matches standard 3.3V logic rails and eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | ≤2mA at CMOS-level CS; extends battery life in portable or low-power embedded systems |

Pinout & Package
71V256SA15YG8 is housed in a 28-pin 300-mil Small Outline J-Lead (SOJ) package (JEDEC MO-089A compliant), with lead pitch of 1.27mm and body width of 7.62mm. The package supports infrared reflow soldering and meets RoHS-compliant green material requirements.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 32K unique locations; no internal latching required |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Lines | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance state during read/write transitions prevents bus contention |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; drives device into low-power standby when HIGH (TTL or CMOS level) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal controlling write cycle initiation; overlaps with CS to define valid write window |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers; allows shared bus operation with multiple devices |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3V ±0.3V primary supply; decoupling capacitor placement near pin minimizes switching noise |
| GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all digital signals; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS7C256-15JC | Same 32K × 8 organization, 15ns speed, but uses 28-pin SOIC package (wider 300-mil body, different lead form) | Requires PCB layout revision due to SOIC vs SOJ footprint mismatch; not drop-in compatible | Select only if SOIC mounting process is already established and thermal profile permits higher junction temperature rise |
| IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | 16-bit wide (32K × 16), 15ns access, 3.3V supply, but requires 44-pin TSOP-II package and different pinout | Supports wider data paths but demands redesign of address/data bus routing and control logic | Choose when migrating to 16-bit architectures or when higher density per package is prioritized over pin compatibility |
Compared with AS7C256-15JC and IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI, the 71V256SA15YG8 offers verified SOJ-28 footprint compatibility, guaranteed 2mA full-standby current, and native LVTTL timing margins - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 8-bit cache upgrades without board re-spin.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 71V256SA15YG8?
The 71V256SA15YG8 is an asynchronous SRAM and does not have a clock input or maximum operating frequency specification. Its performance is defined by timing parameters such as tRC = 15ns (read cycle time) and tWC = 15ns (write cycle time), which correspond to effective bus rates up to approximately 66MHz in burst-access configurations. System timing must be derived from these AC specifications rather than a fixed clock frequency.
Does the 71V256SA15YG8 require external pull-up resistors on its control pins?
No, the 71V256SA15YG8 does not require external pull-up resistors on CS, WE, or OE. Its input thresholds (VIH ≥2.0V, VIL ≤0.8V) are fully compatible with standard 3.3V LVTTL logic drivers, and internal input structures do not rely on weak pull-ups. External termination is only needed if bus stubs exceed signal integrity limits - not for basic logic-level compliance.
Can the 71V256SA15YG8 operate reliably at 3.0V supply voltage?
Yes, the 71V256SA15YG8 is specified to operate across VCC = 3.0V to 3.6V. At 3.0V minimum supply, DC parameters including VOH ≥2.4V and VOL ≤0.4V remain guaranteed, and AC timing (tAA, tRC, tWC) holds at 15ns under industrial-grade test conditions. This margin supports brown-out resilience in battery-backed or unregulated power domains.
Is the 71V256SA15YG8 pin-compatible with earlier 5V SRAMs like the 62256?
No, the 71V256SA15YG8 is not pin-compatible with 5V SRAMs such as the 62256. Although both are 28-pin SOJ devices with identical pin count and physical layout, the 71V256SA15YG8 uses LVTTL voltage levels (3.3V), lacks VPP programming voltage pin, and has different internal timing control logic. Direct replacement would cause logic-level mismatch and potential damage due to overvoltage on inputs.
What is the meaning of the 'Y' and 'G8' suffixes in 71V256SA15YG8?
In 71V256SA15YG8, 'Y' denotes the 28-pin 300-mil SOJ package (PJG28), 'G' indicates green (halogen-free, lead-free) material construction, and '8' specifies tape-and-reel packaging format per EIA-481-D standard. This ordering code confirms RoHS compliance, automated SMT readiness, and mechanical compatibility with standard SOJ-28 pick-and-place equipment.
