Product details
Overview
CY7C1021B-12VC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, 5 V supply, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It supports independent upper/lower byte write via BHE/BLE, operates from 0°C to 70°C, and is packaged in 44-pin SOJ for embedded memory buffering in industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021B-12VC datasheet, CY7C1021B-12VC pinout, CY7C1021B-12VC application, or CY7C1021B-12VC equivalent, key selection criteria include byte-select timing (tDBE = 6 ns), low standby current (ISB2 = 10 mA), dual-package availability (SOJ/TSOP II), and automotive-grade variants with extended temperature support.
Technical Context
The CY7C1021B-12VC implements a full 64K × 16 asynchronous SRAM array with separate byte enable control (BHE/BLE), enabling partial-word writes without read-modify-write cycles. Its TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs drive standard 5 V logic levels, and output drivers meet VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –4 mA and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 8 mA.
Power management is handled through dual-level automatic power-down: ISB1 (40 mA) activates when CE > VIH with TTL inputs, while ISB2 (10 mA) engages under CMOS input conditions (CE > VCC – 0.3 V). The device uses a 16-bit bidirectional I/O bus with tri-state control via OE, CE, BHE, and BLE.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (64K × 16): provides 128 KB of fast, non-volatile-critical storage for boot code or real-time data buffers. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns (Commercial): enables direct interface with 80 MHz microcontrollers without wait states. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%: compatible with legacy 5 V system rails and mixed-voltage board designs. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 mA max: reduces idle power in always-on industrial modules where thermal budget is constrained. |
| Byte Enable Setup | BHE/BLE active-Low: allows selective 8-bit writes to upper or lower byte lanes, minimizing bus contention in multi-master systems. |
| Package | 44-pin SOJ (400-mil wide): surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B land patterns. |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C: validated for commercial-grade instrumentation, test equipment, and office automation hardware. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin SOJ (400-mil wide), JEDEC MS-024AC compliant, lead pitch 0.050 inch, body width 0.400 inch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Input | 16-bit address bus selecting one of 65,536 memory locations; latched on CE/WE transitions. |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Bi-directional Data (Lower Byte) | 8-bit data path enabled only when BLE = LOW; tri-stated during reads/writes unless selected. |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Bi-directional Data (Upper Byte) | 8-bit data path enabled only when BHE = LOW; independent timing from lower byte (tDBE = 6 ns). |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-Low global select: initiates read/write cycles and triggers automatic power-down when HIGH. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-Low write strobe: combined with CE and BHE/BLE to define write window boundaries per AC specs. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-Low output driver control: enables data output only during valid read cycles; forces high-Z otherwise. |
| BLE / BHE | Byte Low/High Enable | Independent active-Low controls for lower/upper byte lanes; enables partial-word writes without external logic. |
| VCC / VSS | Power / Ground | Dual VCC (pins 11, 33) and dual VSS (pins 12, 34) reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity in high-speed operation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent byte write control | Eliminates need for external byte masking logic; reduces PCB area and routing complexity in 16-bit bus systems. |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 mA (ISB2) without external control signals-critical for low-power sleep modes in portable instruments. |
| 12 ns access with 5 V supply | Meets timing requirements of legacy 8051, 68K, and early ARM7-based controllers without clock stretching. |
| SOJ and TSOP II package options | Enables migration between through-hole prototyping (SOJ) and high-density SMT production (TSOP II) using same footprint family. |
| TTL/CMOS input compatibility | Accepts VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V-interoperable with both older 5 V logic families and newer mixed-signal ASIC interfaces. |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Deterministic-access memory referenced by FPGA-based pattern sequencers with fixed-cycle execution. Use Value: tHZOE = 6 ns and tLZCE = 3 ns ensure clean output disable edges, preventing metastability in synchronized capture clocks. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV102416-12TQLI | 12 ns access, 3.3 V supply, 48-pin TSOPII; no BHE/BLE-uses single WE for full-word writes. | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; lacks byte-select capability-needs external gating for partial writes. | Select when migrating to 3.3 V platforms and full-word writes suffice; avoid if byte-granular control is required. |
| AS6C1008-12ZIN | 12 ns access, 5 V supply, 44-pin SOJ; no automatic power-down-standby current 30 mA (vs. 10 mA). | Higher quiescent power limits use in thermally constrained enclosures; identical pinout but no CE-driven ISB2 mode. | Select for cost-sensitive 5 V designs where power-down is managed externally; verify thermal margin with ΘJA = 64.32°C/W. |
Compared with IS61LV102416-12TQLI and AS6C1008-12ZIN, the CY7C1021B-12VC uniquely delivers 5 V compatibility, true byte-select functionality, and lowest CMOS standby current-making it optimal for legacy industrial systems requiring minimal redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY7C1021B-12VC?
The CY7C1021B-12VC is an asynchronous SRAM and does not use a clock signal. Its maximum operational speed is defined by access time (tAA = 12 ns) and cycle time (tRC = 12 ns), supporting effective interface rates up to ~83 MHz in burst-read configurations with proper address setup/hold timing.
Does CY7C1021B-12VC support 3.3 V operation?
No. The CY7C1021B-12VC is specified only for 5 V ±10% operation (4.5 V to 5.5 V). It is not rated for 3.3 V supply and may fail to meet timing or DC specifications outside its defined VCC range.
How does automatic power-down work without external control signals?
When CE is driven HIGH, internal circuitry detects the inactive state and gates VCC current paths, reducing ICC to ISB2 = 10 mA. This occurs automatically-no OE, WE, or BHE/BLE state changes are required beyond CE deassertion.
Can CY7C1021B-12VC be used in place of CY7C1021D-12VC?
No. The CY7C1021D-12VC is a different generation with revised timing parameters, enhanced ESD protection, and updated thermal resistance values. Pinout and function are similar, but tHZOE, tPD, and ISB2 differ-direct substitution requires validation against system timing margins.
