Product details
Overview
71V256SA20PZG from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM designed for secondary cache in 3.3V processor systems. It operates at 3.3V ±0.3V, delivers 20ns access time, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and features 2mA full-standby current in TSOP Type I package.
For engineers reviewing the 71V256SA20PZG datasheet, 71V256SA20PZG pinout, 71V256SA20PZG application, or 71V256SA20PZG equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL-compatible I/O, low-power standby mode activation via CS, AC timing compliance for read/write cycles, and compatibility with space-constrained 28-pin TSOP layouts in embedded computing and industrial control designs.
Technical Context
The 71V256SA20PZG implements asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent chip select (CS), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls. Its address decoding supports 15-bit addressing (A0–A14) for 32K words, and bidirectional I/O0–I/O7 lines operate at LVTTL voltage levels with guaranteed VOH ≥2.4V and VOL ≤0.4V under load.
Power management relies on dual standby modes: TTL-level CS HIGH yields ISB ≤20mA, while CMOS-level CS HIGH with f = 0 guarantees ISB1 ≤2mA and power dissipation <6.6mW. Timing is defined by tRC = 20ns, tAA = 20ns, and tWC = 20ns, with tCLZ = 5ns and tCHZ = 10ns ensuring fast bus turnaround.

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-20TIN | 256K × 8-bit, 20ns, 3.3V, 28-pin TSOP, but uses different pinout (A10/A11 swapped) and higher ISB1 (5mA) | Requires PCB layout revision due to non-identical pin mapping; less suitable for drop-in replacement in existing 71V256SA20PZG designs | Select only if redesigning layout and prioritizing alternate supplier availability over pin compatibility |
| IS61LV25616AL-20TQLI | 512K × 16-bit, 20ns, 3.3V, 44-pin TSOP; wider data bus and double capacity but incompatible pinout and voltage tolerance (3.3V only, no 5V-tolerant I/O) | Not pin-compatible; requires bus-width adaptation and additional address decoding logic | Choose when upgrading memory bandwidth and capacity is acceptable, and board redesign is planned |
Compared with AS6C4008-20TIN and IS61LV25616AL-20TQLI, the 71V256SA20PZG offers verified pinout alignment with legacy IDT/Renesas designs, lower standby current, and seamless integration into existing 8-bit cache architectures without hardware modification.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 71V256SA20PZG?
The 71V256SA20PZG operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 3.6V, with nominal VCC at 3.3V ±0.3V. This tight tolerance ensures compatibility with modern 3.3V logic families and eliminates the need for external regulators in most embedded designs. All DC and AC specifications for the 71V256SA20PZG are guaranteed across this range under industrial temperature conditions.
Does the 71V256SA20PZG support industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the 71V256SA20PZG is fully specified for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This rating is confirmed in the ordering information and electrical characteristics tables, where parameters like tAA, ISB1, and VOH are guaranteed across the full range. The 71V256SA20PZG is marked with "I" grade suffix in Renesas documentation, validating its suitability for harsh-environment applications.
How does the standby power mode work on the 71V256SA20PZG?
The 71V256SA20PZG enters low-power standby when CS is driven HIGH. In full standby (CS > VHC, f = 0), it draws ≤2mA and dissipates <6.6mW. This mode preserves data indefinitely without refresh and is activated automatically-no command sequence or register write is required. The 71V256SA20PZG resumes normal operation within tCHZ ≤10ns after CS returns LOW.
Is the 71V256SA20PZG pin-compatible with earlier IDT SRAMs?
Yes, the 71V256SA20PZG maintains identical pinout and function mapping with prior IDT71V256SA variants in TSOP packaging, including the 71V256SA12PZG and 71V256SA15PZG. Address pins A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, and control signals CS, WE, OE, VCC, and GND occupy the same positions in the PZG28 package, enabling speed-bin upgrades without layout changes.
What package type does the 71V256SA20PZG use, and what are its dimensions?
The 71V256SA20PZG uses a 28-pin TSOP Type I package designated PZG28, measuring 18.4mm × 8.2mm with 0.5mm lead pitch. It complies with JEDEC MO-153 standards and is optimized for reflow soldering. This package replaces the older SOJ variant for improved thermal performance and automated assembly yield, and is explicitly listed in the Renesas ordering information for the 71V256SA20PZG.
