Product details
Overview
71V3556SA150BQ8 from IDT (now Renesas) is a 3.3V, 128K × 36-bit synchronous ZBT SRAM with Zero Bus Turnaround architecture, 150 MHz clock speed (6.67 ns cycle time), 3.5 ns clock-to-data access, and pipelined outputs. It supports interleaved/linear 4-word burst reads/writes, individual byte write control (BW1–BW4), and operates across industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) in a 165-ball fine-pitch BGA (BQ165) package - used in high-speed network packet buffers and telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the 71V3556SA150BQ8 datasheet, 71V3556SA150BQ8 pinout, 71V3556SA150BQ8 application, or 71V3556SA150BQ8 equivalent, key selection criteria include ZBT bus turnaround elimination, 3.3V I/O compatibility, JTAG IEEE 1149.1 support (SA version), burst counter functionality, and sleep mode (ZZ) for power-sensitive embedded systems.
Technical Context
The 71V3556SA150BQ8 implements a fully synchronous, rising-edge-triggered architecture with registered address, data, and control inputs. Its ZBT feature eliminates dead cycles between read/write transitions by overlapping bus turnaround with internal memory access timing.
It integrates an on-chip burst counter controlled by ADV/LD and LBO pins, supporting both linear and interleaved 4-word sequences. The device includes three chip enables (CE1, CE2, CE2) for depth expansion, asynchronous OE for output control, and optional boundary-scan JTAG (TMS/TDI/TCK/TDO/TRST) compliant with IEEE 1149.1 - available only in BGA packages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 128K × 36-bit (4.5 Mbit); supports 256K × 18-bit via pin-compatible variant |
| Clock Frequency | 150 MHz (6.67 ns cycle time); defines maximum sustained burst throughput |
| Access Time | 3.5 ns clock-to-data (tCD); determines minimum latency for first word in read burst |
| Supply Voltage | VDD = 3.3 V ±5% (core), VDDQ = 3.3 V ±5% (I/O); requires separate low-noise regulation |
| Burst Capability | 4-word linear or interleaved burst; reduces address bus traffic and controller overhead |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade); validated for telecom infrastructure environments |
| JTAG Support | IEEE 1149.1 compliant (SA version); enables in-system test and debug without external probes |
| Sleep Mode | ZZ pin (active-high) gates internal clock and reduces power while retaining data |
Pinout & Package
Packaged in a 165-ball fine-pitch ball grid array (BQ165, 13 mm × 15 mm), RoHS-compliant, with 3.3V core and I/O supplies, and industrial temperature rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit synchronous address bus; latched on rising CLK edge when ADV/LD = LOW and chip enabled |
| CLK | System Clock Input | Rising-edge-triggered master timing reference; all synchronous registers align to this edge |
| R/W | Read/Write Control | Synchronous signal defining load-cycle operation type; determines data direction two cycles later |
| ADV/LD | Burst Counter Control | LOW loads new external address; HIGH advances internal burst counter for sequential access |
| LBO | Burst Order Select | Static input: LOW = linear sequence, HIGH = interleaved sequence (e.g., for cache line alignment) |
| BW1–BW4 | Byte Write Enables | Active-low per-byte controls for 36-bit word; enable selective 9-bit writes without masking logic |
| CE1, CE2, CE2 | Chip Enables | Three independent enables (CE1/CE2 active-low, CE2 active-high) for multi-SRAM depth expansion |
| OE | Output Enable | Asynchronous control; drives I/Os to high-impedance when HIGH - no timing constraints required |
| ZZ | Sleep Mode Input | Active-high synchronous entry into low-power retention mode; preserves data with minimal current draw |
| TMS/TDI/TCK/TDO/TRST | JTAG Test Interface | IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan signals; TRST optional asynchronous reset (BGA only) |
| I/O0–I/O31, I/OP1–I/OP4 | Data I/O Lines | 36-bit bidirectional synchronous bus; registered input and output paths reduce timing skew |
| VDD, VDDQ, VSS | Power/Ground | VDD (core), VDDQ (I/O), and VSS (ground) require separate decoupling; VDDQ must track VDD within ±5% |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ZBT™ Architecture | Eliminates bus turnaround dead cycles between consecutive reads and writes - enables continuous 100% bus utilization in burst-mode systems |
| Pipelined Outputs | Internally synchronized output buffer enable removes need for external OE timing control - simplifies PCB layout and timing closure |
| 4-Word Burst Counter | Reduces address bus activity by 75% per burst; LBO pin selects linear (sequential) or interleaved (cache-friendly) addressing order |
| Individual Byte Write | Four independent BWx signals allow precise 9-bit writes without full-word read-modify-write - critical for protocol header updates |
| Three Chip Enables | Supports seamless depth expansion across multiple 71V3556SA devices without external logic - lowers system BOM cost |
| JTAG Boundary Scan | IEEE 1149.1 compliance enables automated PCB test, interconnect verification, and in-system programming - reduces manufacturing test time |

FAQ
What is the memory organization and density of the 71V3556SA150BQ8?
The 71V3556SA150BQ8 is a 128K × 36-bit synchronous SRAM, delivering 4,718,592 bits (4.5 Mbit) of total memory. It supports dual configuration modes: 128K × 36-bit and - via pin-compatible variants like 71V3558SA - 256K × 18-bit. This flexibility allows system designers to optimize data bus width and memory depth without changing PCB layout for the BQ165 package.
Does the 71V3556SA150BQ8 support JTAG boundary scan, and which pins are used?
Yes, the 71V3556SA150BQ8 (SA version) supports IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG boundary scan. Pins TMS, TDI, TCK, TDO, and optional TRST are assigned to dedicated balls in the BQ165 package. TRST is optional and internally pulled up; if unused, it may be left floating. JTAG functionality is not available in non-SA variants or TQFP packages.
How does the ZBT™ feature improve system performance in the 71V3556SA150BQ8?
The ZBT™ (Zero Bus Turnaround) feature in the 71V3556SA150BQ8 eliminates dead cycles between consecutive read and write operations by overlapping bus direction control with internal memory access. This enables back-to-back burst transfers without wait states - increasing effective bus utilization by up to 25% compared to standard synchronous SRAMs, especially critical in packet-forwarding and cache-coherent subsystems.
What is the role of the ADV/LD and LBO pins in burst operation of the 71V3556SA150BQ8?
In the 71V3556SA150BQ8, ADV/LD controls burst counter behavior: LOW loads a new external address, while HIGH advances the internal counter for sequential access. LBO selects burst order - LOW enables linear addressing (0,1,2,3), HIGH enables interleaved (0,2,1,3) - matching common cache line mapping schemes. Both signals are sampled synchronously on the rising CLK edge.
Can the 71V3556SA150BQ8 operate in low-power mode, and how is it activated?
Yes, the 71V3556SA150BQ8 supports low-power sleep mode via the synchronous ZZ pin. When ZZ is driven HIGH, the internal clock is gated and dynamic power drops significantly while data retention is guaranteed. This mode is ideal for intermittent traffic scenarios in telecom line cards or industrial controllers, reducing average power without sacrificing data integrity.
