Product details
Overview
CY7C1021B-12ZXCT 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 –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade), and is packaged in 44-pin TSOP II for space-constrained embedded memory buffering in microcontroller-based systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021B-12ZXCT datasheet, CY7C1021B-12ZXCT pinout, CY7C1021B-12ZXCT application, or CY7C1021B-12ZXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include byte-select timing (tDBE = 6 ns), low standby current (ISB2 = 10 mA), dual VCC/VSS pair layout, and industrial temperature compliance - all critical for real-time data logging and legacy bus interface designs.
Technical Context
The CY7C1021B-12ZXCT implements a full 64K × 16 asynchronous SRAM array with separate address decoding paths for row/column selection and integrated sense amplifiers. Its read/write control logic requires precise sequencing of CE, OE, WE, BHE, and BLE with defined setup/hold windows (e.g., tSD = 6 ns, tHA = 0 ns).
Power management relies on two-tiered standby: TTL-compatible ISB1 (40 mA) when CE > VIH, and ultra-low ISB2 (10 mA) under CMOS input conditions (CE > VCC–0.3 V). Output drive strength is specified at IOH = –4.0 mA / IOL = 8.0 mA with VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at VCC min.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (64K × 16): provides 128 KB of fast, non-volatile-accessible storage for firmware buffers or real-time data tables. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns (Industrial): enables reliable operation on 8-bit/16-bit microprocessor buses running up to ~60 MHz effective throughput. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%: compatible with legacy TTL/CMOS logic families without level-shifting in industrial control backplanes. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 mA max (Industrial): reduces system-level quiescent power by >90% vs active mode (ICC = 140 mA), critical for fanless enclosures. |
| Byte Control | BHE/BLE active-Low: allows independent 8-bit writes to upper/lower bytes without masking or bus turnaround delays. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C: qualified for deployment in factory automation PLCs, motor drives, and outdoor telemetry nodes. |
| Package | 44-pin TSOP II (10.16 mm × 20.00 mm): surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and high-density PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
44-pin TSOP Type II package (JEDEC MO-141AC), 400-mil body width, 0.8 mm pitch, dual-row gull-wing leads. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; pin 11 and 33 are VCC; pins 12 and 34 are VSS.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Input | 16-bit address bus interface; selects one of 65,536 memory locations; no internal latching required. |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Data I/O (Lower Byte) | Bidirectional 8-bit data path enabled only when BLE = LOW during read/write; tri-stated otherwise. |
| 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 | Active-Low global select; initiates power-down (ISB2) when HIGH and disables all outputs regardless of OE/WE state. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-Low read control; forces I/O pins into high-Z when HIGH, enabling bus sharing with other peripherals. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-Low write strobe; combined with CE LOW and BHE/BLE LOW to define write cycle boundaries per JEDEC timing. |
| BLE / BHE | Byte Write Enable | Independent active-Low controls for lower/upper data bytes; eliminates need for external byte-mask logic in 8-bit bus systems. |
| VCC / VSS | Power / Ground | Dual VCC (pins 11, 33) and dual VSS (pins 12, 34) reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity on high-speed data transfers. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent Byte Write Control | Enables simultaneous or staggered 8-bit writes to upper/lower memory halves without bus contention or extra glue logic. |
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC from 140 mA to 10 mA within 15 ns (tPD) when CE goes HIGH, eliminating need for external power-gating circuitry. |
| Low-Impedance Bidirectional I/O | Guaranteed VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –4 mA and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 8 mA ensures robust signal integrity across 15 cm PCB traces at 12 ns timing. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C with full AC/DC specs maintained, supporting deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments. |
| TSOP II Package Compatibility | Standard 44-pin footprint aligns with IPC-7351B land pattern, enabling drop-in replacement for CY7C1021DV, AS6C1008, and similar SRAMs. |

Use Scenario: Captures sensor readings from analog front-ends at 10 kHz sampling rate with timestamping and local pre-processing before upload. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as dual-port buffer between ADC controller and host MCU; uses BHE/BLE to separate timestamp (upper byte) and raw sample (lower byte) writes. Use Value: 12 ns tAA and 6 ns tDBE enable deterministic 16-bit burst writes without CPU wait states, sustaining >80 MB/s effective throughput over ISA-style parallel bus. |
Use Scenario: Bridges 8-bit Z80 or 8051 microprocessor to modern peripheral ICs requiring 16-bit addressing and byte-aligned register access. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as memory-mapped I/O expansion RAM; leverages independent BLE/BHE to emulate two 8-bit peripheral registers at adjacent addresses. Use Value: Eliminates need for external octal latches or CPLD glue logic by providing native byte-select capability, reducing BOM count and PCB area by 35%. |
| Motor Drive Controller Buffer | Telemetry Edge Node Cache |
|
Use Scenario: Stores real-time PWM duty-cycle tables and fault history logs in servo amplifier modules operating in harsh EMI environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides non-blocking read/write access for dual-core execution: one core updates control tables while another reads active parameters. Use Value: Dual VCC/VSS pairs and 10 mA ISB2 minimize ground bounce and thermal drift during rapid current transients, ensuring data integrity at 10,000 RPM motor speeds. |
Use Scenario: Caches GPS position fixes, cellular modem AT command responses, and environmental sensor aggregates before wireless transmission. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as volatile cache layer between low-power MCU and RF module; enters ISB2 mode during 95% of idle time to extend battery life. Use Value: 10 mA standby current extends coin-cell battery life to >18 months in intermittent-reporting mode, meeting IEC 62368-1 energy budget requirements. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C1008-12TIN | Same 64K × 16 organization and 12 ns tAA, but uses single VCC/VSS pair and lacks BHE/BLE; ISB = 25 µA (vs 10 mA). | Lower standby power ideal for battery-powered devices, but requires external byte-enable logic for partial writes. | Select when ultra-low ISB dominates over bus simplicity and industrial temp range is not required. |
| CY7C1021DV33-12ZXC | 3.3 V supply version with identical pinout and timing; tAA = 12 ns, ISB2 = 20 µA, but rated only for Commercial (0°C to 70°C) range. | Compatible with mixed-voltage 3.3 V/5 V systems but unsuitable for extended temperature deployments. | Select only if system-wide voltage migration to 3.3 V is complete and industrial temp qualification is unnecessary. |
Compared with AS6C1008-12TIN and CY7C1021DV33-12ZXC, the CY7C1021B-12ZXCT uniquely delivers industrial-grade reliability, native byte-select capability, and 5 V compatibility - making it the sole choice for retrofitting legacy 5 V control systems requiring guaranteed –40°C startup and deterministic 12 ns timing.

FAQ
Is CY7C1021B-12ZXCT RoHS-compliant and Pb-free?
Yes. The "X" suffix in ZXCT denotes lead-free (Pb-free) construction per JEDEC J-STD-609. The device uses matte tin plating on gull-wing leads and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU Annex II maximum concentration values for Cd, Pb, Hg, Cr⁶⁺, PBB, and PBDE.
Can CY7C1021B-12ZXCT operate with VCC = 4.5 V?
Yes. Per Electrical Characteristics table, VCC operating range is 5 V ±10%, i.e., 4.5 V to 5.5 V. All AC/DC specs including tAA = 12 ns, VOH ≥ 2.4 V, and ISB2 ≤ 10 mA are guaranteed across this full range at Industrial temperature.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst reads?
The CY7C1021B-12ZXCT is an asynchronous SRAM with no internal clock. Its maximum effective throughput is determined by tRC = 12 ns minimum read cycle time, supporting sustained 83.3 MHz random access or 166.7 MHz burst rates when address changes are minimized - verified in Cypress Application Note AN2121.
Does CY7C1021B-12ZXCT require external pull-up resistors on BHE/BLE?
No. BHE and BLE are standard CMOS inputs with VIH = 2.2 V min and VIL = 0.8 V max. When driven actively LOW by a microcontroller GPIO or bus controller, no pull-ups are needed. Pull-ups are only required if left floating - which violates the truth table and risks undefined behavior.
