Product details
Overview
CY15B102N-ZS60XA from Cypress Semiconductor is a 2-Mbit (128K × 16) automotive-grade ferroelectric RAM (F-RAM) with SRAM-compatible parallel interface, 60-ns access time, 1014 read/write endurance, and 151-year data retention at –40 °C to +85 °C. It serves as nonvolatile memory in safety-critical automotive control modules requiring rapid, reliable writes without backup batteries.
For engineers reviewing the CY15B102N-ZS60XA datasheet, CY15B102N-ZS60XA pinout, CY15B102N-ZS60XA application, or CY15B102N-ZS60XA equivalent, key selection factors include NoDelay™ write timing, software-configurable sector write protection, TSOP-II package compatibility, and drop-in replacement capability for 128K × 16 SRAMs in CAN/LIN gateway loggers and ADAS event recorders.
Technical Context
The CY15B102N-ZS60XA implements a ferroelectric memory array organized as eight 16K × 16 blocks, each supporting page-mode access via A1–A0 column addressing. Its SRAM-like operation eliminates write latency and removes need for polling or erase cycles.
It supports dual write control modes (CE- and WE-initiated), software-programmable block-level write protection using a six-read/three-write address sequence, and low-power sleep mode activated by the ZZ pin. All operations are guaranteed across the Automotive-A temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C) with VDD = 2.0 V to 3.6 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 2 Mbit (128K × 16), configurable as 256K × 8 using UB/LB byte enables |
| Access time | 60 ns - enables direct substitution for standard 128K × 16 SRAMs without timing redesign |
| Endurance | 1014 read/write cycles - supports continuous logging in vehicle black-box recorders |
| Data retention | 151 years at +85 °C - ensures nonvolatile storage over full automotive service life without refresh |
| Supply voltage | 2.0 V to 3.6 V - compatible with modern low-voltage automotive power domains |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C (Automotive-A grade) - qualified for engine bay and cabin control units |
| Active current | 7 mA (typ) - reduces thermal load in space-constrained ECUs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP-II), 400-mil width, RoHS-compliant surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address inputs | 17-bit address bus latched on CE falling edge; A1–A0 enable 4-column page-mode access per row |
| DQ0–DQ15 | Data I/O bus | 16-bit bidirectional data path; driven only when OE LOW and corresponding UB/LB asserted |
| WE | Write Enable | Rising edge triggers immediate nonvolatile write; falling edge latches new column address in page mode |
| CE | Chip Enable | Falling edge latches full address and initiates read/write cycle; controls precharge when HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable | Controls DQ bus drive; HI-Z when HIGH, preventing bus contention during invalid data windows |
| UB / LB | Byte select | Enable upper (DQ15–DQ8) or lower (DQ7–DQ0) data byte; allow 8-bit access or 256K × 8 configuration |
| ZZ | Sleep mode | LOW enters ultra-low-power state (120 µA standby); must be HIGH for all active operations |
| VDD / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 2.0–3.6 V supply; VSS must connect to system ground plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| NoDelay™ writes | Immediate nonvolatile storage on WE rising edge - eliminates write latency and polling overhead in real-time logging |
| Software write-protect | Eight independent 16K × 16 sectors protected via nonvolatile command sequence - prevents firmware corruption during ECU reprogramming |
| Page-mode operation | 30-ns cycle time for sequential column accesses within same row - accelerates burst logging of sensor frames |
| SRAM pinout compatibility | Industry-standard 128K × 16 parallel interface - enables drop-in replacement without PCB or firmware changes |
| Monolithic reliability | No battery, capacitor, or external support components required - simplifies BOM and improves long-term field reliability |
Applications
| ADAS Event Recorder | Powertrain Control Unit Log Buffer |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Continuous capture of radar/lidar timestamped frames during collision events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile frame buffer storing pre- and post-trigger snapshots with sub-microsecond write commit. Use Value: Eliminates risk of data loss during power interruption; sustains 106+ write cycles per hour without degradation. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Persistent parameter storage updated every 10 ms during engine run, surviving cold starts. Use Value: Guarantees 151-year data retention at under-hood temperatures; avoids EEPROM wear-out in high-durability applications. |
| Body Control Module Configuration | Infotainment System Crash Log |
|
Use Scenario: Retaining user preferences (seat position, mirror angle, lighting profiles) after battery disconnect. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-voltage (2.0 V) nonvolatile storage accessed during wake-up initialization. Use Value: Operates down to 2.0 V - captures settings even during brown-out conditions where SRAM would fail. |
Use Scenario: Capturing stack traces and register dumps following infotainment OS crashes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed write buffer accepting burst data from ARM Cortex-A core before safe shutdown. Use Value: 60-ns access + NoDelay™ write enables full context capture in <100 µs - critical for root-cause analysis. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar nonvolatile parallel memory applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FM22L16-60-TG | 2-Mbit F-RAM in 48-pin TSOPII; 60-ns access; 1014 endurance; VDD = 2.7–3.6 V | Requires 2.7 V minimum - not suitable for 2.0–2.6 V automotive domains | Select if system uses ≥2.7 V rail and needs extended temperature screening beyond Automotive-A |
| AT25DF041A-SHN-B | 4-Mbit SPI NOR Flash; 85 MHz clock; 100k program/erase cycles; no byte-write capability | Serial interface requires firmware driver rewrite; no true SRAM drop-in replacement | Choose only when board space is constrained and parallel bus unavailable; accept write latency and endurance limits |
Compared with FM22L16-60-TG and AT25DF041A-SHN-B, CY15B102N-ZS60XA uniquely delivers 2.0 V operation, true SRAM pinout compatibility, and unlimited write endurance - making it the only viable option for high-frequency, low-voltage automotive logging where reliability and timing predictability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is CY15B102N-ZS60XA pin-compatible with standard 128K × 16 SRAMs?
Yes - it uses an industry-standard 44-pin TSOP-II footprint and identical signal mapping (A0–A16, DQ0–DQ15, CE, WE, OE, UB, LB, ZZ, VDD, VSS). No PCB redesign is needed; only firmware verification of timing margins and write-protection behavior is required for migration.
Does CY15B102N-ZS60XA require external hardware for write protection?
No - it implements fully software-controlled, nonvolatile sector write protection. Protection is configured via a specific six-read/three-write address/data sequence issued over the parallel bus; no external WP pins or resistors are needed.
What is the minimum VDD voltage for reliable operation at –40 °C?
The device is specified for full functionality down to 2.0 V across the entire Automotive-A temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C). At –40 °C, 2.0 V operation is guaranteed per DC electrical characteristics in Rev. *D datasheet, Table 9.
Can CY15B102N-ZS60XA be used in place of battery-backed SRAM without modifying system power architecture?
Yes - it eliminates batteries entirely. The monolithic F-RAM design draws only 120 µA in sleep mode and requires no backup power circuitry, capacitor hold-up, or battery monitoring logic - reducing BOM cost and improving long-term field reliability.
