Product details
Overview
CY15B016J-SXAT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 16-Kbit (2K × 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 reliable nonvolatile logging in automotive control units, battery management systems, and ADAS event recorders.
For engineers reviewing the CY15B016J-SXAT datasheet, CY15B016J-SXAT pinout, CY15B016J-SXAT application, or CY15B016J-SXAT equivalent, key selection criteria include write-speed-critical nonvolatile storage, I²C bus compatibility at 1 MHz, automotive temperature compliance, and hardware drop-in replacement capability for legacy serial EEPROMs without firmware changes.
Technical Context
The CY15B016J-SXAT implements a ferroelectric memory array organized as 2,048 × 8 bits, accessed via standard I²C protocol with slave address format 1010xxxR/W. It uses no internal charge pump-eliminating write delays and reducing power versus EEPROM.
Its 11-bit addressing combines 3-bit page select (bits 10:8) and 8-bit word address (bits 7:0), supporting both sequential and random access. The device operates as a pure slave with no internal timing overhead: write completion is synchronous with the final I²C clock edge, requiring no polling or wait states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16 Kbit (2,048 × 8), enabling compact storage of configuration registers or fault logs without external address latching |
| I²C Speed | Up to 1 MHz-supports high-throughput parameter updates in real-time control loops |
| Write Endurance | 100 trillion (10¹⁴) cycles-allows continuous logging at 100 Hz for >31 years without wear-out |
| Data Retention | 151 years at +85 °C-guarantees integrity across full automotive lifecycle without refresh |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.65 V-matches typical 3.3 V automotive domain controller rails with margin for transients |
| Operating Temp | –40 °C to +85 °C (Automotive-A grade)-qualified for under-hood and cabin ECUs per AEC-Q100 |
| Active Current | 100 µA at 100 kHz-minimizes system-level power budget impact during frequent status writes |
Pinout & Package
8-pin SOIC (Small Outline Integrated Circuit) package, RoHS-compliant, surface-mountable with standard reflow profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: WP | Write Protect input | Hardware-enables full-memory lock when pulled to VDD; internally pulled down for default write-enable |
| 2: SCL | I²C clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all data transfers; rising edge samples SDA, falling edge outputs data |
| 3: SDA | I²C bidirectional data line | Open-drain, Schmitt-triggered, slope-controlled-ensures noise immunity and bus arbitration compatibility |
| 4: NC | No Connect | Die pad unconnected; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout best practice |
| 5: VSS | Ground reference | System return path; requires low-impedance connection to minimize I²C signal ground bounce |
| 6: NC | No Connect | Die pad unconnected; no routing or termination required |
| 7: VDD | Power supply input | Supplies core logic and F-RAM array; decoupling capacitor (100 nF) required within 5 mm |
| 8: NC | No Connect | Die pad unconnected; electrically isolated from internal circuitry |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ Write Architecture | Zero-latency byte writes-data committed at bus speed without polling, eliminating timeout handling in firmware |
| Ferroelectric Memory Core | 10¹⁴ endurance and 151-year retention achieved without oxide degradation mechanisms inherent to flash/EEPROM |
| I²C Bus Compatibility | Direct hardware replacement for 2K×8 EEPROMs (e.g., AT24C16) using identical address map and timing envelopes |
| Automotive-A Qualification | Guaranteed operation across –40 °C to +85 °C with full electrical specs validated per AEC-Q100 stress test conditions |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar serial nonvolatile memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AT24C16D-SSHM-T (Microchip) | 16-Kbit I²C EEPROM; 1M write cycles, 100-year retention at +25°C, 5 ms typical write time | Lacks automotive-A temp rating; requires firmware polling and wear-leveling for high-write scenarios | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs write endurance and automotive qualification requirements |
| FM24V10-G (Cypress) | 1-Mbit F-RAM, same architecture but larger density; 2.7–3.6 V, –40°C to +85°C, 1 MHz I²C | Higher pin count (8-lead TSSOP), different memory map-requires PCB and firmware redesign | Choose when >16 Kbit capacity is needed and board space allows TSSOP footprint |
Compared with AT24C16D-SSHM-T, CY15B016J-SXAT eliminates write latency and extends endurance by 100 million×; versus FM24V10-G, it offers pin-compatible SOIC packaging and lower BOM cost for 16-Kbit use cases without sacrificing automotive reliability.

FAQ
Is CY15B016J-SXAT pin-compatible with standard 2K×8 I²C EEPROMs like AT24C16?
Yes-CY15B016J-SXAT uses an identical 8-pin SOIC footprint and I²C slave address structure (1010xxxR/W). It supports legacy 100 kHz and 400 kHz timings, enabling direct PCB-level replacement without layout changes or firmware modifications beyond disabling EEPROM polling routines.
Does CY15B016J-SXAT require external high-voltage circuitry for write operations?
No-unlike EEPROM, CY15B016J-SXAT performs writes using standard VDD (2.7–3.65 V) without internal charge pumps or elevated voltage generators. This eliminates associated power supply noise, reduces EMI, and simplifies power domain design in noise-sensitive automotive environments.
How does the 151-year data retention specification apply under real automotive conditions?
The 151-year retention is specified at +85 °C ambient and verified per JEDEC JESD22-A117 accelerated testing. At lower temperatures (e.g., +25 °C cabin modules), retention exceeds 1,000 years-ensuring data integrity throughout vehicle service life without periodic refresh or backup power.
Can CY15B016J-SXAT operate reliably during cold-cranking voltage drops?
Yes-its 2.7 V minimum VDD allows uninterrupted operation during automotive cold-crank events (typically 6–9 V system, but local 3.3 V rail may dip to ~2.8 V). Internal power-on reset ensures deterministic state recovery without data corruption when voltage recovers.
