Product details
Overview
CY15B004J-SXAT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 4-Kbit (512 × 8) automotive-grade serial F-RAM with I²C interface, operating from 2.7 V to 3.65 V over –40 °C to +85 °C. It delivers NoDelay™ writes, 10¹⁴ read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention-enabling rapid, reliable nonvolatile logging in safety-critical automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY15B004J-SXAT datasheet, CY15B004J-SXAT pinout, CY15B004J-SXAT application, or CY15B004J-SXAT equivalent, key selection factors include I²C bus-speed write capability, absence of write polling, automotive-A temperature qualification, and hardware-compatible replacement for legacy serial EEPROMs in infotainment, ADAS sensor buffers, and powertrain control modules.
Technical Context
The CY15B004J-SXAT implements a ferroelectric memory array organized as 512 × 8 bits, accessed via standard I²C protocol with slave address format 1010b + A2/A1 + PS + R/W. It supports 100 kHz, 400 kHz, and 1 MHz clock frequencies while maintaining full compatibility with legacy EEPROM timing constraints.
Its internal address latch auto-increments during sequential reads/writes, enabling burst transfers without re-addressing. The device lacks internal voltage boosting circuitry-eliminating write delay-and relies solely on external pull-ups for SDA/SCL, with Schmitt-trigger inputs and slope-controlled outputs for noise immunity and EMI reduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 4 Kbit (512 × 8), directly addressable via 9-bit addressing (8-bit word + 1-bit page select) |
| I²C speed | Up to 1 MHz-enables sub-μs write completion per byte without polling overhead |
| Endurance | 10¹⁴ read/write cycles-supports >27,000 writes/second continuously for 10 years in data-logging applications |
| Data retention | 151 years at +85 °C-guaranteed nonvolatile storage without refresh or backup power |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 3.65 V-compatible with automotive 3.3 V rail and brown-out tolerant operation |
| Operating temp | –40 °C to +85 °C (Automotive-A grade)-qualified for under-hood and cabin ECUs |
| Active current | 100 μA at 100 kHz-reduces system-level power budget in always-on monitoring circuits |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1, A2 | Device select input | Hardwired address bits enabling up to four CY15B004J devices on same I²C bus without address conflict |
| SDA | Bi-directional serial data | Open-drain I²C data line with Schmitt trigger input and slope-controlled output for noise-immune communication |
| SCL | Serial clock input | Master-generated clock with Schmitt trigger input-defines timing for all read/write transfers |
| WP | Write protect input | Hardware-level lock: tied to VDD disables all writes; tied to GND enables full memory access |
| VSS | Ground reference | System ground connection required for stable logic thresholds and ESD path |
| VDD | Power supply | Primary 2.7–3.65 V supply-no internal regulation; must remain within spec to prevent data corruption |
| NC | No connect | Internally unconnected pin-must be left floating or grounded per PCB layout best practices |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ write architecture | Eliminates write polling and timeout loops-data commits at I²C bus speed, reducing firmware complexity and CPU load |
| Ferroelectric memory process | Enables 100 trillion write cycles without wear leveling or block management-ideal for high-frequency timestamping |
| Automotive-A qualification | Guaranteed operation across full –40 °C to +85 °C range with AEC-Q100 stress testing compliance |
| I²C EEPROM drop-in compatibility | Same pinout, slave address structure, and command set as standard 4-Kbit I²C EEPROM-no hardware or firmware redesign needed |
| Low-power standby mode | 3 μA typical quiescent current-enables battery-backed operation in sleep-state vehicle subsystems |

Use Value: 3 μA standby current extends battery life in parked vehicles; no data loss during 12-V battery disconnect. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C04D-SSHM-T (Microchip) | 4-Kbit I²C EEPROM; requires 5 ms write cycle; 1 million endurance cycles | Lacks automotive-A temp rating; rated only to +70 °C commercial grade | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-automotive designs where write frequency <100×/hour |
| FM24V04-G (Cypress) | Same 4-Kbit F-RAM architecture but with 2.0–3.6 V supply and industrial temp (–40 °C to +85 °C) | Not AEC-Q100 qualified; lacks automotive-specific screening and traceability documentation | Preferred for industrial control where automotive qualification is not mandated but F-RAM performance is required |
Compared with AT24C04D-SSHM-T and FM24V04-G, the CY15B004J-SXAT uniquely combines AEC-Q100 Automotive-A qualification, 10¹⁴ endurance, and guaranteed 1-MHz I²C operation-making it the only option for safety-critical, high-write-frequency automotive subsystems requiring zero-compromise reliability.

FAQ
Is CY15B004J-SXAT pin-compatible with standard 8-pin I²C EEPROMs like AT24C04?
Yes-CY15B004J-SXAT uses identical 8-pin SOIC packaging and matches the pin functions of industry-standard 4-Kbit I²C EEPROMs: A1/A2 for device addressing, SDA/SCL for interface, WP for write protection, and VDD/VSS for power. No PCB redesign is required for drop-in replacement.
Does CY15B004J-SXAT require external circuitry for I²C pull-up resistors?
Yes-SDA and SCL pins are open-drain and require external pull-up resistors to VDD. Recommended values are 2.2 kΩ for 100 kHz, 1 kΩ for 400 kHz, and 4.7 kΩ for 1 MHz operation, per Cypress Application Note AN219127, to ensure rise time compliance and noise margin.
How does the 151-year data retention specification apply under real-world automotive conditions?
The 151-year retention is specified at +85 °C ambient and verified per JEDEC JESD22-A117. At lower temperatures (e.g., +25 °C cabin), retention exceeds 1,000 years. Real-world automotive use-including thermal cycling and vibration-does not degrade this rating, as confirmed by AEC-Q100 Grade 1 qualification testing.
Can CY15B004J-SXAT operate reliably during cold-cranking when battery voltage dips to 6 V?
No-CY15B004J-SXAT requires VDD between 2.7 V and 3.65 V. During cold-cranking, the 12-V system drops below 2.7 V, halting memory operation. System designers must implement brown-out detection and suspend writes until VDD stabilizes above 2.7 V to prevent data corruption.
