Product details
Overview
CY7C1020BN-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 44-pin TSOP II package. Used in legacy embedded controllers and FPGA configuration buffers requiring deterministic low-latency read/write.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT datasheet, CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT pinout, CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT application, or CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns access time, ISB2 = 0.5 mA CMOS standby current, dual-byte control architecture, and TSOP II mechanical compatibility with board-level space constraints.
Technical Context
The CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT implements a fully static 32,768 × 16-bit memory array with asynchronous parallel interface. Its read cycle is initiated by concurrent CE and OE assertion while WE remains HIGH, with data valid after tACE = 15 ns and tDOE = 7 ns. Byte-select logic allows simultaneous or independent access to upper (I/O9–I/O16) and lower (I/O1–I/O8) data lanes using dedicated BHE and BLE inputs.
Power management relies on automatic CE-driven transition into low-power standby (ISB2 ≤ 0.5 mA) when CE is deasserted, eliminating need for external power sequencing. Input thresholds comply with TTL/CMOS-compatible levels (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), and output drive meets ±4 mA VOH/VOL specs under full load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32,768 words × 16 bits = 512 Kbit; enables single-cycle 16-bit data transfers without multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max; guarantees deterministic read latency for real-time control loops and FPGA boot loaders. |
| VCC Supply | 5.0 V ±10%; compatible with legacy 5 V logic families and eliminates level-shifting requirements. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 0.5 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V; reduces system idle power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C; validated for commercial-grade industrial control panels and test equipment. |
| Package | 44-pin TSOP Type II (JEDEC MO-141BA); 0.8 mm pitch, 10.16 mm × 18.42 mm footprint for high-density PCB layouts. |
| Byte Enable Logic | Dual independent BHE/BLE inputs allow selective 8-bit writes without disturbing adjacent bytes-critical for protocol register mapping. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin TSOP Type II (JEDEC MO-141BA), lead-free (Pb-free), body dimensions 10.16 mm × 18.42 mm, 0.8 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word addressing; no internal latching-requires stable address during CE assertion. |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Data I/O (Lower Byte) | Bidirectional 8-bit data path enabled only when BLE = LOW; high-impedance when BLE or CE is HIGH. |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Data I/O (Upper Byte) | Bidirectional 8-bit data path enabled only when BHE = LOW; electrically isolated from lower byte during partial writes. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; drives automatic power-down when HIGH, enabling zero-software-overhead sleep mode. |
| OE | Output Enable | Read strobe; must be LOW with CE LOW and WE HIGH to place data on I/O pins-no effect during write cycles. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-LOW write control; initiates write when CE and WE are both LOW, regardless of OE state. |
| BLE / BHE | Byte Low/High Enable | Independent 8-bit write gating-allows atomic updates to either byte lane without read-modify-write overhead. |
| VCC / VSS | Power / Ground | Single 5 V supply with two dedicated VCC and two VSS pins for noise reduction and current distribution. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 15 ns Access Time with Full 16-Bit Bus | Enables direct connection to 16-bit microcontrollers (e.g., Intel 80C188, Motorola 68000 derivatives) without wait-state insertion. |
| Automatic CE-Controlled Power-Down | Reduces standby current to 0.5 mA without external logic or software intervention-ideal for intermittent-data-acquisition systems. |
| Independent Upper/Lower Byte Write Control | Eliminates need for external byte-masking logic in systems implementing 8-bit peripheral registers mapped into 16-bit address space. |
| TSOP II Package with Pb-Free Finish | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU; compatible with standard reflow profiles and automated SMT assembly lines. |
| TTL/CMOS-Compatible Interface Levels | Supports direct interfacing with both legacy 5 V TTL and modern 5 V CMOS logic families without level translators. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed parallel SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS61LV51216AL-15MLI | 15 ns tAA, 3.3 V supply, 44-pin TSOP II, ISB = 20 µA (lower than CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT's 0.5 mA) | Requires 3.3 V system rail and level translation for 5 V host interfaces; unsuitable for pure 5 V designs. | Select if migrating to lower-voltage systems and redesigning power delivery; not drop-in compatible due to VCC mismatch. |
| Cypress CY7C1021DV33-15ZXC | 15 ns tAA, 3.3 V supply, 44-pin TSOP II, same pinout but different VCC/VSS pin assignments and input thresholds | Designed for 3.3 V logic families; VIH/VIL thresholds incompatible with 5 V TTL signaling without buffering. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs; requires PCB redesign and signal integrity validation-no electrical or mechanical drop-in replacement. |
Compared with IS61LV51216AL-15MLI and CY7C1021DV33-15ZXC, the CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT uniquely supports legacy 5 V systems with TTL-compatible inputs and zero-level-shift integration, making it irreplaceable in field-deployed industrial hardware where voltage rails and interface standards are fixed.

FAQ
Is CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT RoHS compliant?
Yes. The "X" suffix in -15ZXCT denotes lead-free (Pb-free) construction per EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The TSOP II package uses matte tin terminations and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) handling requirements.
Can CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT operate at 3.3 V?
No. The device is specified only for 5.0 V ±10% operation (4.5 V to 5.5 V). Attempting 3.3 V supply results in undefined behavior, including failure to meet tAA = 15 ns, increased ISB, and potential data corruption due to insufficient noise margin on VIH/VIL thresholds.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst reads?
The CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT is an asynchronous SRAM and does not use a clock. Maximum sustained read throughput is determined by tRC = 15 ns, yielding up to 66.7 million 16-bit words per second when CE and OE are continuously asserted with address changes aligned to tRC boundaries.
Does CY7C1020BN-15ZXCT support battery backup operation?
No. While ISB2 = 0.5 mA enables low-power standby, the device lacks built-in battery-switching circuitry or VBAT pin. External backup schemes require discrete diode-ORing and voltage monitoring; data retention below VCC(min) = 4.5 V is not guaranteed per datasheet specifications.
