Product details
Overview
CY7C1020B-15ZXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 32K × 16-bit (512 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, 5 V supply, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It supports independent byte-wide write enable via BHE/BLE pins and operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) in a lead-free 44-pin TSOP II package. Used in embedded controllers and legacy industrial systems requiring deterministic SRAM timing.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1020B-15ZXCT datasheet, CY7C1020B-15ZXCT pinout, CY7C1020B-15ZXCT application, or CY7C1020B-15ZXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read latency, ISB2 = 3 mA CMOS standby current, dual-byte write control, and TSOP II thermal resistance (ΘJA = 50.55°C/W).
Technical Context
The CY7C1020B-15ZXCT implements a fully decoded 15-bit address space (A0–A14) driving a 32K-word × 16-bit memory array with separate I/O1–I/O8 (lower byte) and I/O9–I/O16 (upper byte) data paths. Read/write operations are controlled by synchronous CE, OE, WE, BHE, and BLE signals with defined setup/hold and transition timing windows.
Its automatic power-down logic asserts high-impedance outputs and reduces ICC to ≤3 mA when CE is HIGH, independent of OE or WE state. The device uses standard TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and drives LVTTL loads with VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V under specified IOL/IOH conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| tAA | 15 ns maximum - defines worst-case delay from valid address to stable output data during read cycles |
| ISB2 | 3 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V - CMOS-mode standby current when CE > VCC – 0.3 V, enabling ultra-low-power deselected operation |
| VCC | 5 V ±10% - single-supply operation compatible with legacy 5 V logic families and industrial power rails |
| Package | 44-pin TSOP II (51-85087), 400-mil width - surface-mount footprint with ΘJA = 50.55°C/W for convection-cooled PCBs |
| Byte Control | BHE and BLE inputs enable independent upper/lower byte write - eliminates need for external byte masking logic |
| Output Drive | IOL = 8 mA / IOH = –4 mA - sufficient to directly drive 10 LVTTL loads without buffers in point-to-point configurations |
Pinout & Package
44-pin TSOP Type II (51-85087), 400-mil body width, lead-free (RoHS-compliant) construction. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; pins numbered counterclockwise from top-left corner.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit row/column decode bus selecting one of 32,768 memory locations |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Lower-Byte Bidirectional Data | 8-bit data path active only when BLE = LOW during read/write |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Upper-Byte Bidirectional Data | 8-bit data path active only when BHE = LOW during read/write |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; HIGH forces automatic power-down and high-Z outputs |
| OE | Output Enable | Controls output drivers only; must be LOW with CE LOW for read access |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-LOW signal initiating write cycle when CE and BHE/BLE are also asserted |
| BLE | Byte Low Enable | Selects lower byte (I/O1–I/O8) for write/read; independent of BHE |
| BHE | Byte High Enable | Selects upper byte (I/O9–I/O16) for write/read; independent of BLE |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5 V ±10% main supply; two dedicated pins (pins 16 and 32) reduce IR drop |
| VSS | Ground | Two ground pins (pins 15 and 31) provide low-inductance return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-byte write control | Independent BHE/BLE pins allow selective 8-bit writes without external gating or data masking logic |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to ≤3 mA (CMOS mode) when CE is deasserted - no software or external control required |
| Low-capacitance I/O | CIN/COUT = 8 pF max - minimizes signal integrity degradation and timing skew on dense PCB traces |
| TTL-compatible interface | VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - ensures interoperability with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| TSOP II thermal performance | ΘJA = 50.55°C/W - enables reliable operation at full speed in enclosed industrial enclosures without forced air |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Legacy Microcontroller Data RAM |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Synchronous parallel memory mapped at fixed address space with byte-select capability. Use Value: Independent BHE/BLE enables efficient 8-bit peripheral register access while preserving 16-bit data throughput for bulk transfers. |

|
Use Scenario: Temporary storage of sensor acquisition buffers in Class II medical devices operating under IEC 60601-1. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile-critical scratchpad memory holding pre-processed waveform segments before EEPROM transfer. Use Value: ISB2 = 3 mA standby current extends battery life during idle periods without compromising wake-up latency. |
Use Scenario: Dual-port frame buffer for monochrome cockpit display controllers requiring flicker-free refresh. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-port SRAM accessed alternately by display controller (read) and host processor (write) using CE/OE arbitration. Use Value: tHZOE = 7 ns and tLZOE = 0 ns ensure minimal bus turnaround gap between read and write phases, maximizing effective bandwidth. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS61LV51216AL-15NLI | Same density and speed (15 ns), but 3.3 V only; LVCMOS I/O thresholds; no BHE/BLE byte control | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; lacks independent byte write - needs external logic for 8-bit access | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and redesigning address/data bus interface |
| Cypress CY7C1021DV33-15ZXC | 512 Kbit × 16, 15 ns, 3.3 V supply; includes power-down mode but no BHE/BLE; different pinout (48-pin TSOPII) | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign; incompatible voltage domain without translation | Consider only for new 3.3 V designs where legacy 5 V support is not required |
Compared with IS61LV51216AL-15NLI and CY7C1021DV33-15ZXC, the CY7C1020B-15ZXCT uniquely retains 5 V operation, dual-byte write control, and TSOP II pinout-making it irreplaceable in field-deployed 5 V systems requiring minimal hardware change.

FAQ
Is CY7C1020B-15ZXCT compatible with 5 V TTL and CMOS logic families?
Yes. Its VIH minimum is 2.2 V and VIL maximum is 0.8 V, matching standard 5 V TTL thresholds. Output drive strength (IOL = 8 mA, IOH = –4 mA) meets LVTTL loading requirements, and the device operates at VCC = 5 V ±10%, ensuring direct interfacing with 8051, 68K, and Z80 families without level shifters.
What is the difference between ISB1 and ISB2 standby current specifications?
ISB1 (20 mA max) applies when CE > VIH using TTL-compatible input thresholds, while ISB2 (3 mA max) applies under stricter CMOS thresholds (CE > VCC – 0.3 V). ISB2 reflects true low-power deselected operation and is the relevant spec for energy-sensitive applications like battery-backed systems.
Can CY7C1020B-15ZXCT perform simultaneous upper- and lower-byte writes?
Yes. When both BHE and BLE are driven LOW concurrently with CE and WE, the device writes 16 bits in a single cycle. The truth table confirms "Write – All bits" mode is enabled when CE = L, WE = L, BHE = L, and BLE = L - no timing overlap restriction prevents concurrent assertion.
Does the TSOP II package support reflow soldering per J-STD-020?
Yes. As a RoHS-compliant lead-free device (denoted by 'X' in -ZXCT), it conforms to JEDEC J-STD-020D moisture sensitivity level 3 and withstands peak reflow temperatures up to 260°C for 30 seconds, compatible with standard Pb-free assembly processes.
