Product details
Overview
71V3556SA166BQGI from Renesas is a 3.3V synchronous ZBT™ SRAM with 128K × 36-bit organization (4.5 Mbit), 166 MHz clock frequency, 3.5 ns clock-to-data access time, zero bus turnaround architecture, and pipelined outputs. It serves as high-speed buffer/memory in network packet processors, telecom line cards, and FPGA-based data path acceleration where burst reads/writes and dead-cycle elimination are critical.
For engineers reviewing the 71V3556SA166BQGI datasheet, 71V3556SA166BQGI pinout, 71V3556SA166BQGI application, or 71V3556SA166BQGI equivalent, key selection criteria include ZBT™ timing compliance, TQFP-100 package compatibility, industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), JTAG IEEE 1149.1 test interface availability, and 4-word burst mode with linear/interleaved ordering.
Technical Context
The 71V3556SA166BQGI implements a fully synchronous, positive-edge-triggered architecture with registered address, control, and I/O paths. Its ZBT™ feature eliminates bus turnaround latency by enabling immediate read-after-write or write-after-read transitions without dead cycles.
It integrates an on-chip 4-word burst counter controlled by ADV/LD and LBO pins, supports individual byte write (BW1–BW4) for 9-bit subword granularity, and includes three chip enables (CE1, CE2, CE2) for depth expansion. The optional boundary-scan JTAG interface complies with IEEE 1149.1 and is implemented in the SA variant.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 128K × 36-bit (4.5 Mbit); supports high-bandwidth parallel data paths in packet buffering and frame assembly. |
| Clock Frequency | 166 MHz; enables 166 MT/s throughput with deterministic 3.5 ns clock-to-data access for real-time systems. |
| Supply Voltage | VDD = 3.3 V ±5%, VDDQ = 3.3 V ±5%; dual-rail I/O/core separation ensures signal integrity in mixed-noise environments. |
| Burst Capability | 4-word interleaved or linear burst; reduces address overhead and improves sequential bandwidth in cache-like applications. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade; qualified for deployment in base station equipment and industrial controllers. |
| JTAG Support | IEEE 1149.1 compliant (SA version); enables in-system test, debug, and boundary-scan verification without external probes. |
| Package | 100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 20 mm, JEDEC standard); compatible with automated SMT assembly and thermal management in dense PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
71V3556SA166BQGI is packaged in a JEDEC-standard 100-pin plastic thin quad flatpack (TQFP), 14 mm × 20 mm body size, with 0.5 mm pitch. Pin 64 supports ZZ (sleep mode) on latest die revision; pins 14, 16, and 66 tolerate VIH-level inputs without direct VDD connection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLK | Clock input | Positive-edge-triggered master timing reference; all synchronous registers (address, control, I/O) latch on rising edge. |
| A0–A16 | Address inputs | 17-bit address bus for 128K-depth addressing; latched synchronously with CLK, ADV/LD low, and valid chip enables. |
| R/W | Read/Write control | Synchronous signal determining cycle type; read/write decision is latched at load cycle and governs subsequent burst behavior. |
| ADV/LD | Advance burst / Load address | Controls burst counter increment (HIGH) or external address load (LOW); determines burst sequence continuity and address source. |
| LBO | Linear/Interleaved burst order | Static input selecting burst pattern; LOW = linear (0,1,2,3), HIGH = interleaved (0,2,1,3); must remain stable during operation. |
| BW1–BW4 | Byte write enables | Four active-low signals controlling 9-bit subword writes (I/O[0:7]+I/OP1 through I/O[24:31]+I/OP4); allows partial-word updates without read-modify-write. |
| CE1, CE2, CE2 | Chip enable inputs | Three independent enables (CE1/CE2 active-low, CE2 active-high); enable depth expansion and hierarchical memory mapping. |
| OE | Output enable | Asynchronous, active-low control of I/O bus drivers; tri-states outputs independently of clock, simplifying bus arbitration. |
| TMS, TDI, TCK, TDO, TRST | JTAG test interface | IEEE 1149.1 boundary-scan signals; TRST is optional asynchronous reset; all except TDO are inputs with internal pull-ups. |
| VDD, VDDQ, VSS | Power and ground | VDD = 3.3 V core supply; VDDQ = 3.3 V I/O supply; VSS = common ground; separate rails reduce switching noise coupling. |
| ZZ | Sleep mode input | Active-high synchronous entry into low-power retention mode; gates internal clock and reduces dynamic power while preserving data. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| ZBT™ Zero Bus Turnaround | Eliminates dead cycles between read/write transitions, enabling continuous 166 MT/s throughput without bus idle periods. |
| Pipelined Outputs with Internal OE Sync | Output buffer enable is internally synchronized to CLK, removing external OE timing constraints and simplifying system timing closure. |
| 4-Word Burst Counter | Reduces address bus activity by 75% for sequential accesses; LBO pin selects linear or interleaved order per JEDEC standards. |
| Individual Byte Write Control | Four BWx signals allow selective 9-bit word updates-critical for protocol header manipulation and partial register writes. |
| Three Chip Enables | Supports seamless memory depth expansion across multiple devices without external logic, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |

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 no JTAG; uses different burst control (BWS vs. ADV/LD). | Optimized for x18 data width systems (e.g., legacy PCI-X); lacks ZBT™-compatible read-after-write timing guarantees. | Select when x18 interface matches system bus width and JTAG is unnecessary; verify burst timing against ZBT™-specific protocols. |
| AS7C33128PFSIG-166 | 128K × 36-bit, 166 MHz, industrial temp, but no ZBT™ architecture or burst counter; asynchronous OE only. | Suitable for simpler buffering where zero-turnaround is not required; higher latency in mixed R/W sequences. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where ZBT™ and burst features are unused; requires external OE timing control and suffers 1-cycle turnaround penalty. |

FAQ
What is the memory organization and total capacity of the 71V3556SA166BQGI?
The 71V3556SA166BQGI is organized as 128K × 36 bits, delivering a total capacity of 4,718,592 bits (4.5 Mbit). This configuration supports 36-bit parallel data paths ideal for high-throughput applications such as network packet buffering and FPGA co-processing. The device does not support 256K × 18 mode - that is exclusive to the 71V3558SA family members.
Does the 71V3556SA166BQGI support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
Yes, the 71V3556SA166BQGI includes full IEEE 1149.1-compliant JTAG boundary-scan functionality, as indicated by the "SA" suffix in its part number. Pins TMS, TDI, TCK, TDO, and optional TRST are implemented in the TQFP-100 package. TRST is not required, as automatic JTAG reset occurs at power-up and via TMS/TCK sequences.
How does the ZBT™ feature eliminate dead cycles in the 71V3556SA166BQGI?
The ZBT™ (Zero Bus Turnaround) architecture in the 71V3556SA166BQGI enables immediate transition between read and write operations without inserting idle cycles. This is achieved through internal pipelining and dedicated output buffer synchronization, allowing the next access to begin on the very next clock edge - a critical advantage in high-speed packet forwarding and real-time DSP buffering.
What is the function of the ADV/LD and LBO pins on the 71V3556SA166BQGI?
ADV/LD controls whether the internal burst counter advances (HIGH) or loads a new external address (LOW). LBO selects burst order: LOW enables linear sequence (0,1,2,3), HIGH enables interleaved (0,2,1,3). Both signals are sampled synchronously on the rising CLK edge and must remain static during burst execution to avoid undefined behavior in the 71V3556SA166BQGI.
Is the 71V3556SA166BQGI rated for industrial temperature operation?
Yes, the 71V3556SA166BQGI is specified for industrial temperature range operation from –40°C to +85°C. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Recommended Operating Conditions tables, and applies to the BQGI suffix variant. It is qualified for use in base stations, industrial PLCs, and outdoor networking equipment.
