Product details
Overview
71V3556SA166BGI from IDT (now Renesas) is a 3.3V, 128K × 36-bit synchronous ZBT™ SRAM with zero bus turnaround, 166 MHz operation (3.5 ns clock-to-data access), pipelined outputs, and integrated burst counter. It supports interleaved/linear 4-word bursts, individual byte write control (BW1–BW4), and JTAG boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1). Used in high-speed networking line cards and packet buffering systems requiring deterministic latency and no dead cycles between read/write transitions.
For engineers reviewing the 71V3556SA166BGI datasheet, 71V3556SA166BGI pinout, 71V3556SA166BGI application, or 71V3556SA166BGI equivalent, key selection criteria include ZBT™ timing compliance, TQFP-100 package compatibility, industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), 3.3V core/I/O supply tolerance, and JTAG-enabled testability for production validation.
Technical Context
The 71V3556SA166BGI implements a fully synchronous, positive-edge-triggered architecture with registered address, data, and control inputs. Its ZBT™ feature eliminates bus turnaround dead cycles by enabling immediate read-after-write or write-after-read transitions without wait states.
It integrates an on-chip burst counter controlled by ADV/LD and LBO pins, supporting both linear and interleaved 4-word sequences. Output enable (OE) is asynchronous, while all other inputs-including three chip enables (CE1, CE2, CE2), clock enable (CEN), and sleep mode (ZZ)-are synchronous with the rising edge of CLK.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1356BV18-166BZI | 256K × 18-bit organization; same 166 MHz speed, but narrower data bus and no JTAG | Requires two devices for 36-bit width; lacks boundary scan-less suitable for high-assurance telecom test | Select only if system uses 18-bit datapath or prioritizes cost over testability and ZBT™ optimization |
| AS7C33128P-166BIN | 128K × 32-bit (no parity pins); no burst counter, no JTAG, commercial temp only (0°C to +70°C) | Cannot support parity-based error detection; unsuitable for industrial/telecom deployments requiring extended temperature range | Consider only for non-critical embedded control where parity and JTAG are unnecessary and cost is primary driver |
Compared with CY7C1356BV18-166BZI and AS7C33128P-166BIN, the 71V3556SA166BGI uniquely delivers 36-bit width with parity, ZBT™-optimized timing, industrial temperature support, and IEEE 1149.1 testability-making it the only option meeting full telecom line card qualification requirements.

FAQ
What does the "SA" suffix indicate in 71V3556SA166BGI?
The "SA" suffix denotes the JTAG-enabled version of the 71V3556SA166BGI, featuring full IEEE 1149.1 boundary scan support with dedicated TMS, TDI, TCK, TDO, and optional TRST pins. This distinguishes it from the base "S" variant, which omits JTAG functionality and routes those pins as no-connects. The SA version is required for production testability in high-reliability telecom systems.
Does the 71V3556SA166BGI support both 128K×36 and 256K×18 configurations?
The 71V3556SA166BGI is specifically configured as 128K × 36-bit. While the underlying family includes the pin-compatible 71V3558SA166BGI for 256K × 18-bit, the 71V3556SA166BGI's address mapping and functional behavior are fixed to the 128K×36 organization. A0–A16 are active; A17 is unused in this variant, and the memory array is physically sized accordingly.
How does the ZZ (Sleep Mode) pin function in the 71V3556SA166BGI?
The ZZ pin on the 71V3556SA166BGI is a synchronous high-active input that internally gates the clock distribution network, reducing dynamic power consumption to minimum levels while preserving data integrity. When asserted, it places the device in low-power retention mode with guaranteed data hold across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), making it ideal for energy-sensitive telecom standby states.
Can the 71V3556SA166BGI operate without actively controlling OE (Output Enable)?
Yes-the 71V3556SA166BGI allows OE to be tied permanently low because its output buffers are internally synchronized and tri-state automatically upon chip deselect, write initiation, or CEN assertion. This eliminates external OE timing constraints and simplifies PCB layout, especially in systems where deterministic bus release is managed via CE or R/W signals instead of OE.
What is the significance of the "BGI" suffix in 71V3556SA166BGI?
The "BGI" suffix indicates the 71V3556SA166BGI is packaged in a 100-pin TQFP (thin quad flatpack) with industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C) and lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction. The "G" confirms green (halogen-free) materials, and "I" designates industrial temperature screening-critical for deployment in base stations, industrial controllers, and outdoor networking hardware.
