Product details
Overview
CY15B101N-ZS60XM from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 1-Mbit ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM™) logically organized as 64K × 16, operating over –55 °C to +125 °C with 2.0–3.6 V supply, 60 ns access time, and 1013 read/write endurance. It serves as nonvolatile memory in mission-critical data logging systems where rapid, reliable writes without delay are required.
For engineers reviewing the CY15B101N-ZS60XM datasheet, CY15B101N-ZS60XM pinout, CY15B101N-ZS60XM application, or CY15B101N-ZS60XM equivalent, key selection criteria include military-temperature SRAM-compatible parallel interface, NoDelay™ write architecture, 121-year data retention, and TSOP-II package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The CY15B101N-ZS60XM implements a parallel asynchronous interface with CE/WE/OE control logic and dual byte-select (UB/LB) enabling true 16-bit or configurable 128K × 8 operation. Its ferroelectric memory array eliminates write latency and battery dependency while maintaining SRAM timing behavior.
It supports page-mode operation with 30 ns cycle time for intra-row accesses and automatic precharge on upper address (A15–A2) change or CE deassertion. Sleep mode (via ZZ pin) reduces standby current to ≤120 µA, and all operations complete within a single bus cycle-no polling or erase cycles required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 1-Mbit (64K × 16), configurable as 128K × 8 using UB/LB controls |
| Access Time | 60 ns - enables direct replacement of standard 64K × 16 SRAMs without timing redesign |
| Write Endurance | 1013 cycles - supports high-frequency data logging (e.g., 1 kHz sampling for >300 years) |
| Data Retention | 121 years at +125 °C - validated nonvolatile storage without backup power or refresh |
| Operating Voltage | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with modern low-voltage microcontrollers and industrial rails |
| Temperature Range | –55 °C to +125 °C - qualified for military, aerospace, and under-hood automotive applications |
| Package | 44-pin TSOP-II (400-mil) - surface-mount compatible with existing SRAM footprint and reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
44-pin thin small outline package (TSOP-II), 400-mil body width, surface-mount, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus; A1–A0 enable page-mode column addressing within a row |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 16-bit parallel data path; driven only when OE = LOW and corresponding UB/LB = LOW |
| WE | Write Enable | Falling edge initiates write; rising edge completes immediate nonvolatile store (NoDelay™) |
| CE | Chip Enable | Falling edge latches full address; enables CE-controlled or WE-controlled write modes |
| OE | Output Enable | Controls DQ bus drive; HI-Z when HIGH, preventing bus contention during invalid data windows |
| UB / LB | Upper/Lower Byte Select | Enable DQ15–DQ8 or DQ7–DQ0 independently; allow byte-level writes or 128K × 8 configuration |
| ZZ | Sleep Mode Control | LOW enters ultra-low-power state (≤120 µA); must be HIGH before any access |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | 2.0–3.6 V supply; dual VSS pins provide noise isolation for analog-sensitive F-RAM core |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ Writes | Writes complete within same bus cycle as reads-no wait states, no polling, no firmware overhead |
| SRAM Pin & Timing Compatibility | Industry-standard 64K × 16 parallel interface with identical pinout and AC timing-drop-in replacement |
| Monolithic Nonvolatility | Eliminates battery, capacitor, or EEPROM backup circuitry-reduces BOM count and field failure modes |
| Page-Mode Performance | 30 ns cycle time for sequential intra-row accesses-enables high-throughput buffering (e.g., CAN message queues) |
| Military Temperature Qualification | Guaranteed operation from –55 °C to +125 °C-validated for avionics, defense electronics, and downhole tools |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile parallel-memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY15B101QN-SX60XCT | Same F-RAM core, but commercial temperature range (0 °C to +70 °C) and lead-free 44-pin SOIC package | Not qualified for military/aerospace use; unsuitable for extended temperature or high-shock environments | Select only for cost-sensitive industrial control where full military spec is unnecessary |
| FM28V100-60-BG | 1-Mbit F-RAM in 48-pin BGA; 60 ns access, but requires PCB redesign and has different pin mapping | Lacks TSOP-II footprint compatibility; no direct drop-in replacement capability | Consider only for new designs prioritizing board area reduction over legacy layout reuse |

FAQ
Is CY15B101N-ZS60XM a direct pin-for-pin replacement for standard 64K × 16 SRAMs?
Yes. It uses an industry-standard 44-pin TSOP-II footprint with identical A0–A15, DQ0–DQ15, CE, WE, OE, UB, LB, VDD, and VSS pin assignments. No PCB redesign is needed-only ensure ZZ is tied to VDD if sleep mode is unused, and add a pull-up on WE to prevent corruption during power-up.
Does CY15B101N-ZS60XM require external hardware for nonvolatility, such as batteries or capacitors?
No. It is monolithically nonvolatile via ferroelectric memory technology. Data is retained for 121 years at +125 °C without any backup power source, eliminating battery leakage, capacitor aging, and associated reliability risks found in BBSRAM modules.
What is the significance of "NoDelay™ writes" in system-level design?
NoDelay™ means write operations complete within the same bus cycle as reads-no wait states, no status polling, and no firmware delays. This enables deterministic real-time logging (e.g., capturing transient faults in <1 µs) and simplifies software by removing EEPROM-style write-complete checks.
Can CY15B101N-ZS60XM operate reliably in high-vibration or high-radiation environments?
Yes. Its monolithic silicon construction (no moving parts or electrolytes), TSOP-II package robustness, and ferroelectric process immunity to single-event upsets make it suitable for downhole tools, avionics, and nuclear instrumentation-unlike battery-backed SRAMs or flash-based alternatives.
