Product details
Overview
CY14B104L-ZS25XI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 4 Mbit (512K × 8) nonvolatile static RAM with QuantumTrap® technology, functioning as a drop-in SRAM replacement with integrated nonvolatile storage. It delivers 25 ns access time, operates from single 3V ±10% supply, supports automatic STORE on power loss via VCAP capacitor, and guarantees 20-year data retention and 200,000 STORE cycles. Used in industrial control modules where volatile memory persistence is critical during brownouts.
For engineers reviewing the CY14B104L-ZS25XI datasheet, CY14B104L-ZS25XI pinout, CY14B104L-ZS25XI application, or CY14B104L-ZS25XI equivalent, key selection criteria include x8 bus interface compatibility, HSB-driven hardware store timing, VCAP capacitor sizing (0.1 µF), AutoStore enable/disable sequence, and FBGA-48 footprint alignment with legacy TSOP II layouts.
Technical Context
This nvSRAM integrates parallel SRAM and QuantumTrap nonvolatile cells per bit, enabling simultaneous STORE/RECALL across all 524,288 bytes without block erasure. The architecture decouples volatile read/write (infinite cycles) from nonvolatile STORE (200k cycles) and RECALL (infinite), with hardware store triggered by HSB pin assertion or VCC dropout below VSWITCH (~2.7 V).
Operation modes are controlled via CE, WE, OE, BHE/ BLE (x16 only), and address-based software sequences - including six-address STORE (0x4E38 → 0x8FC0), RECALL (0x4E38 → 0x4C63), and AutoStore disable (0x4E38 → 0x8B45). All sequences require CE-controlled reads with WE held HIGH and no intervening accesses.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (512K × 8 organization), directly replaces standard 512K × 8 SRAMs without address/data bus redesign. |
| Access Time | 25 ns max - ensures timing compliance with 33 MHz microcontrollers and legacy ISA bus peripherals. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V ±10% (2.7–3.6 V) - compatible with single-supply 3.3 V systems; no separate VIO or backup battery required. |
| STORE Endurance | 200,000 cycles - sufficient for daily power-cycle logging in industrial HMIs or programmable logic controllers. |
| Data Retention | 20 years at +85°C - validated retention under extended high-temperature storage, critical for medical device firmware archives. |
| AutoStore Trigger | VCC dropout to ≤2.7 V - initiates seamless STORE using charge stored on external 0.1 µF VCAP capacitor. |
| Package | 48-ball FBGA (6 mm × 8 mm, 0.8 mm pitch) - enables high-density PCB layout while maintaining thermal performance comparable to TSOP II. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA), 6 mm × 8 mm body, 0.8 mm ball pitch, RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Input | Address inputs for 512K × 8 mode; A0–A18 fully decoded to select one of 524,288 bytes; unused pins float as NC in x8 configuration. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Input/Output | Bidirectional data bus for 8-bit interface; tri-stated when OE HIGH or during STORE/RECALL; shares pins with SRAM-compatible controllers. |
| WE, CE, OE | Input | Standard SRAM control signals (active LOW); CE enables chip select, WE gates write, OE enables output buffers - no protocol translation needed. |
| VCAP | Power Supply | Connects to 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor; supplies energy for STORE during VCC collapse; internal regulator maintains ~2.5 V during operation. |
| HSB | Input/Output | Open-drain status/control pin: driven LOW during STORE/RECALL; pulled LOW externally to initiate hardware STORE; internally pulled HIGH when idle. |
| VCC, VSS | Power | Single 3V supply and ground; VSS must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into quantum storage circuitry. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| QuantumTrap® Nonvolatile Cell | Embedded per-bit nonvolatile storage eliminates need for external EEPROM/NVRAM and associated glue logic or firmware overhead. |
| Hardware Store Busy (HSB) | Real-time open-drain status signal enables system-level coordination - e.g., halting DMA transfers before STORE begins - without polling. |
| AutoStore Disable Sequence | Six-address software sequence (0x4E38 → 0x8B45) allows selective disabling of automatic STORE during maintenance or firmware updates. |
| Software-Controlled STORE/RECALL | Deterministic six-read address sequences provide precise control over nonvolatile operations independent of power conditions. |
| Byte-Level Write Enable | Supports partial-word writes in x16 mode via BHE/BLE; not applicable to CY14B104L-ZS25XI (x8-only), simplifying interface design. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Logging | Medical Device Configuration Storage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FM24CL04-G (Cypress/Infineon) | 4 Kbit F-RAM, 400 kHz I²C interface, no STORE cycle limit, but 10× lower density and serial latency. | Requires I²C master and firmware driver; unsuitable for parallel-bus SRAM drop-in replacement. | Select only if system already uses I²C infrastructure and density requirements are ≤4 Kbit. |
| AS4C4M16SA-6TCN (Alliance Memory) | 4 Mbit ×16 parallel SRAM, no nonvolatile capability, 15 ns access, TSOP II package. | Lacks STORE/RECALL; requires external NV backup (e.g., SPI EEPROM + controller), increasing BOM and firmware complexity. | Choose only when nonvolatility is unnecessary and maximum speed (15 ns) is prioritized over data persistence. |
Compared with FM24CL04-G and AS4C4M16SA-6TCN, CY14B104L-ZS25XI uniquely provides parallel SRAM compatibility, deterministic STORE/RECALL timing, and integrated nonvolatility - eliminating external components and firmware overhead while meeting industrial lifecycle requirements.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCAP capacitor value required for reliable AutoStore operation?
The CY14B104L-ZS25XI requires a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor on the VCAP pin, rated for ≥6.3 V, placed within 5 mm of the device. This value ensures sufficient charge to complete one full STORE cycle even at VCC = 2.7 V and TA = +85°C, as verified in DC Electrical Characteristics Table (page 7 of datasheet 001-07102).
Can CY14B104L-ZS25XI be used in x16 mode?
No. CY14B104L-ZS25XI is factory-configured for 512K × 8 organization only. The "L" suffix denotes x8 configuration; the x16 variant is CY14B104N. Pinout, address decoding (A0–A18), and DQ count (DQ0–DQ7) are fixed for byte-wide operation - attempting x16 use will result in incorrect addressing and data corruption.
How does the HSB pin behave during a software-initiated STORE?
During software STORE, HSB is driven LOW immediately after the sixth address read (0x8FC0) and remains LOW for the entire tSTORE duration (max 20 ms). It returns HIGH only upon successful completion. If the sequence is corrupted, HSB stays HIGH - providing unambiguous hardware confirmation of STORE initiation and completion without software polling.
Is the CY14B104L-ZS25XI pin-compatible with standard 48-ball FBGA SRAMs?
Yes - it uses JEDEC-standard 48-ball FBGA (MO-276AA) with identical mechanical footprint, ball pitch (0.8 mm), and pad layout as industry-standard 4 Mbit SRAMs. Signal mapping (A0–A18, DQ0–DQ7, CE/WE/OE, VCC/VSS) matches conventional SRAMs, enabling direct PCB-level replacement without layout revision.
