Product details
Overview
CY7C1021B-15VC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns maximum access time, 5 V ±10% supply, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It supports independent byte-wide writes via BHE/ BLE controls and operates across commercial (0°C to 70°C) and industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges. Used in embedded controllers requiring fast, low-power, non-volatile-critical data buffering.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021B-15VC datasheet, CY7C1021B-15VC pinout, CY7C1021B-15VC application, or CY7C1021B-15VC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read timing, dual-byte write enable architecture, SOJ-44 package compatibility, and ISB2 standby current of 10 µA at CMOS input conditions.
Technical Context
The CY7C1021B-15VC implements a fully decoded 64K × 16 asynchronous SRAM array with separate address latching and bidirectional I/O drivers. Its control logic decouples CE, OE, WE, BHE, and BLE to enable partial-word writes and selective output tri-state management without external gating.
It features two distinct power states: active ICC ≤ 130 mA (industrial), and automatic CE-driven power-down with ISB2 = 10 µA (CMOS inputs). Timing is defined by overlapping signal transitions-tRC = 15 ns, tDOE = 7 ns, tHZOE = 7 ns-with all AC parameters validated under 30-pF load and 1 V/ns edge rates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 64K words × 16 bits = 1 Mbit; enables 16-bit parallel data bus interfacing without external multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max (industrial); guarantees valid data on I/O pins within 15 ns after stable address and CE/OE assertion. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%; compatible with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS system rails and eliminates need for level-shifting. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA max (CMOS inputs); reduces quiescent power during idle cycles in battery-backed or low-duty-cycle systems. |
| Byte Write Control | BHE/BLE active-low enables independent 8-bit writes to upper/lower data bytes-critical for mixed-endian or partial-register updates. |
| Package Type | 44-pin 400-mil SOJ (51-85082); surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and board-level repair accessibility. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade); qualified for deployment in industrial PLCs, motor drives, and telecom line cards. |
Pinout & Package
44-pin 400-mil SOJ (Standard Outline J-Lead) package with 0.400-inch body width, gull-wing leads, and dual-row 22-pin configuration. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; lead finish available in Pb-free and SnPb variants.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Input | 16-bit address bus; selects one of 65,536 memory locations; no internal latching-requires stable address before CE/OE assertion. |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Bidirectional Data (Lower Byte) | Driven by BLE control; used for reads/writes to D0–D7; tri-stated when BLE HIGH or CE HIGH. |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Bidirectional Data (Upper Byte) | Driven by BHE control; used for reads/writes to D8–D15; independent of lower byte operation. |
| CE | Chip Enable (Active Low) | Primary device select; initiates power-down when HIGH; must be LOW for any read/write cycle. |
| WE | Write Enable (Active Low) | Controls direction of I/O pins; LOW enables write path; HIGH enables read path when OE is also LOW. |
| OE | Output Enable (Active Low) | Enables output drivers only; does not initiate read-requires CE LOW and WE HIGH to activate read mode. |
| BLE / BHE | Byte Write Enable (Active Low) | BLE enables I/O1–I/O8; BHE enables I/O9–I/O16; both required LOW for full 16-bit write; either alone enables 8-bit partial write. |
| 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 | Enables simultaneous or separate 8-bit writes to upper/lower data bytes-reduces bus contention and simplifies firmware register mapping. |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 µA (ISB2) when CE is HIGH, eliminating need for external power-gating circuitry in sleep-mode designs. |
| Low 15 ns access time at 5 V | Meets timing requirements of 68K, 80C188, and early ARM7-based microcontrollers without wait-state insertion. |
| SOJ-44 and TSOP-II packaging options | SOJ variant (51-85082) offers mechanical robustness and thermal performance (ΘJA = 64.32°C/W); TSOP-II enables higher board density. |
| Industrial temperature qualification | Validated across –40°C to +85°C with full AC/DC specs-supports deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures without derating. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffers | Legacy Microcontroller Memory Expansion |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for CY7C1021B-15VC at industrial temperature?
The maximum operating supply current (ICC) is 130 mA under industrial conditions (–40°C to +85°C), measured at VCC = 5.5 V, f = 1/tRC, and IOUT = 0 mA. This value reflects worst-case dynamic power during continuous read/write cycling with full 16-bit bus activity.
Can CY7C1021B-15VC operate with only BLE asserted and BHE deasserted?
Yes. When BLE = LOW and BHE = HIGH, the device performs 8-bit reads/writes exclusively on I/O1–I/O8. The upper byte (I/O9–I/O16) remains in high-impedance state, preserving data integrity on shared buses where upper bits may connect to other peripherals.
Is the SOJ-44 package RoHS-compliant?
Yes-both Pb-free (CY7C1021B-15VXC) and SnPb (CY7C1021B-15VC) variants are available. The Pb-free version uses matte tin plating and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) requirements.
Does CY7C1021B-15VC require an external clock signal?
No. It is a fully asynchronous SRAM-no clock input is required. All operations are controlled solely by CE, OE, WE, BHE, and BLE timing relationships, making it compatible with non-synchronous microprocessors and FPGA-based controllers.
