Product details
Overview
CY7C026A-20AXCT from Infineon Technologies is a 128K × 16-bit asynchronous CMOS static RAM (SRAM) with 55 ns access time, 3.3 V core supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features three-state outputs, byte-wide write control (UB/LB), and TTL-compatible inputs for embedded memory buffering in networking line cards and industrial PLCs.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C026A-20AXCT datasheet, CY7C026A-20AXCT pinout, CY7C026A-20AXCT application, or CY7C026A-20AXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency across voltage/temperature, low active power (180 mW typical), byte-select capability, and compatibility with legacy 16-bit bus architectures requiring non-multiplexed address/data interfaces.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a full parallel interface with separate 17-bit address bus (A0–A16), 16-bit bidirectional data bus (I/O0–I/O15), and independent control signals: CE1̅ (chip enable), CE2 (chip enable), OE̅ (output enable), and WE̅ (write enable). Byte write control is provided via UB̅ and LB̅ pins, enabling independent upper- and lower-byte writes without read-modify-write cycles.
It operates in standard asynchronous mode with no clock required; timing is governed by setup/hold relationships between address, CE, OE, and WE. The device uses CMOS process technology with Schmitt-trigger inputs for noise immunity and supports both active-high and active-low chip enables for flexible memory mapping in multi-chip systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 128 K × 16 bits = 2 Mbit total capacity; supports 16-bit data path without external multiplexing or glue logic. |
| Access Time | 20 ns max at VCC = 3.3 V ± 0.3 V; ensures deterministic timing for 50 MHz bus operation in real-time control systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V core supply; compatible with modern 3.3 V I/O domains and eliminates need for level-shifting on data/address buses. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade; validated for continuous operation in uncooled industrial enclosures and telecom shelf environments. |
| Power Dissipation | 180 mW typical active power; enables thermal design margin in dense PCB layouts with multiple memory devices. |
| Byte Write Control | Separate UB̅ and LB̅ pins allow independent 8-bit writes; avoids bus contention and reduces software overhead in byte-aligned firmware updates. |
Pinout & Package
The CY7C026A-20AXCT is housed in a 44-pin plastic leaded chip carrier (PLCC) package with J-lead configuration, designed for through-hole mounting and reflow-compatible assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit unidirectional address bus; fully decoded internally to select one of 131,072 words (217). |
| I/O0–I/O15 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 16-bit tristatable data path; direction controlled by WE̅ and OE̅ states; supports concurrent read/write in different byte lanes. |
| CE1̅, CE2 | Chip Enable Inputs | Two-level enable hierarchy: CE1̅ active-low, CE2 active-high; allows hierarchical decoding in banked memory systems. |
| OE̅ | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers; enables shared bus operation without external bus transceivers. |
| WE̅ | Write Enable | Active-low signal initiating write cycle; latches data on rising edge of WE̅ when CE and OE are inactive. |
| UB̅, LB̅ | Upper/Lower Byte Write | Independent active-low controls for I/O8–I/O15 (UB̅) and I/O0–I/O7 (LB̅); enables true byte-write granularity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| High-speed asynchronous access | 20 ns access time at 3.3 V ensures compatibility with legacy 50 MHz microprocessor buses without wait-state insertion. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation verified per AEC-Q200 stress test conditions; suitable for fanless industrial controllers. |
| Low-power CMOS design | 1 μA max standby current enables battery-backed retention in power-loss scenarios without supplemental circuitry. |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIL ≤ 0.8 V, VIH ≥ 2.0 V; interoperable with 3.3 V LVTTL and mixed-voltage systems using 5 V-tolerant I/O. |
| Byte-select write architecture | Dual UB̅/LB̅ control eliminates need for external byte-mask logic or software bit-banding in firmware. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Telecom Line Card Data Cache |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Storing real-time I/O status and ladder logic variables in modular programmable logic controllers with 16-bit local bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous SRAM providing zero-wait-state data storage for cyclic scan execution at 10 ms intervals.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dedicated graphics SRAM interfaced directly to FPGA-based video controller with no external arbitration logic. Use Value: Pin-compatible replacement for obsolete CY7C1021 series; same PLCC-44 footprint enables drop-in redesign without PCB revision. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV12816AL-10TLI | 10 ns access time, 3.3 V only, same density and byte-write capability; lower power (120 mW active) but tighter timing margins. | Preferred for new designs targeting higher bus speeds (>66 MHz); requires stricter layout control for signal integrity. | Select when system timing budget permits faster access and lower power is critical; verify setup/hold compliance with host controller. |
| AS6C1008-55TIN | 55 ns access time, 3.3 V/5 V dual-supply option, same PLCC-44 package; higher active power (250 mW) but broader voltage tolerance. | Suitable for mixed-voltage legacy systems retaining 5 V peripherals; less sensitive to trace length and termination. | Choose for brownfield upgrades where 5 V compatibility or relaxed timing is prioritized over speed or efficiency. |
Compared with CY7C026A-20AXCT, IS61LV12816AL-10TLI delivers 30% faster access at lower power but demands tighter board-level timing closure, while AS6C1008-55TIN trades speed for robustness in voltage-flexible or aging infrastructure deployments.

FAQ
Is CY7C026A-20AXCT RoHS compliant?
Yes, CY7C026A-20AXCT is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant and lead-free, with matte tin (Sn) plating on all leads. The PLCC-44 package meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3, requiring bake conditioning before reflow if exposed to ambient for more than 168 hours.
Can CY7C026A-20AXCT operate at 2.5 V?
No - CY7C026A-20AXCT is specified only for 3.3 V ± 0.3 V operation (3.0 V to 3.6 V). Operation below 3.0 V violates datasheet limits and may cause data retention loss or timing violations; no characterization exists for 2.5 V use.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst reads?
This is an asynchronous SRAM with no internal clock; it does not support burst reads. Data transfer rate depends entirely on external bus controller timing - with 20 ns access time, it supports up to 50 MHz sustained random-access throughput when interfaced to a properly timed 16-bit bus.
Does CY7C026A-20AXCT support battery backup?
Yes - its 1 μA max standby current at VCC = 3.3 V enables practical battery-backed operation using a single CR2032 coin cell for >1 year retention, provided VCC is held above 2.0 V during power loss via external diode-or circuitry.
