Product details
Overview
CY7C1021B-15ZXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns maximum access time, 5 V ±10% supply, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and Pb-free 44-pin TSOP II packaging. It supports independent byte write control via BHE/BLE inputs and automatic CE-controlled power-down for low standby current (10 mA max).
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021B-15ZXC datasheet, CY7C1021B-15ZXC pinout, CY7C1021B-15ZXC application, or CY7C1021B-15ZXC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read timing, ISB2 = 10 mA CMOS standby current, dual-byte enable architecture, and compatibility with legacy 5 V parallel bus systems in industrial control and instrumentation.
Technical Context
The CY7C1021B-15ZXC implements a full 64K × 16 asynchronous SRAM array with separate address decoding paths for row and column selection, supporting concurrent access to upper and lower bytes via dedicated BHE and BLE controls. Its TTL/CMOS-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) ensure interoperability with legacy microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Timing behavior is defined by overlapping active-Low control signals: CE initiates chip selection, OE enables output drivers, and WE gates write operations - with byte-level granularity determined by BHE/BLE states. Power management relies on automatic CE-driven transition into ISB2 standby mode (10 mA) when CE is deasserted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 64K × 16 bits = 1 Mbit; supports 16-bit parallel data bus without external multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max at VCC = 5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C; ensures compatibility with 66 MHz bus timing budgets. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% (4.5 V to 5.5 V); matches standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and eliminates need for level shifters. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 mA max (CMOS inputs); enables low-power hold mode during processor idle cycles in embedded controllers. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade; qualified for use in motor drives, PLCs, and factory automation hardware. |
| Package | 44-pin TSOP Type II, 400-mil width, Pb-free; surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B footprints. |
| I/O Drive Strength | VOL = 0.4 V at IOL = 8 mA; sufficient to drive 10 TTL loads or 30 pF capacitive bus loads per I/O line. |
Pinout & Package
44-pin TSOP Type II (JEDEC MO-143AC), 400-mil body width, Pb-free lead finish, 0.8 mm pitch. Pin 1 index marked by notch or dot; pins arranged in two 22-pin rows.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus; selects one of 65,536 memory locations; TTL/CMOS compatible thresholds. |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Data I/O (Lower Byte) | Bidirectional 8-bit data path controlled by BLE; tri-stated when BLE or CE is HIGH. |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Data I/O (Upper Byte) | Bidirectional 8-bit data path controlled by BHE; independent of lower byte for partial writes. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-Low global select; forces device into ISB2 standby (10 mA) when HIGH; enables fast power gating. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-Low write strobe; combined with CE and BHE/BLE to define write cycle boundaries per JEDEC timing. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-Low output driver control; disables outputs (high-Z) when HIGH; decouples read timing from CE. |
| BHE, BLE | Byte Write Enables | Active-Low controls for upper/lower byte; enables 8-bit partial writes without disturbing adjacent byte. |
| VCC (Pins 11, 33) | Power Supply | Primary 5 V supply; dual pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity on dense PCBs. |
| VSS (Pins 12, 34) | Ground | Dual ground connections minimize ground bounce and support stable read/write margins. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent Byte Write Control | Separate BHE and BLE inputs allow atomic 8-bit writes to upper or lower byte without read-modify-write overhead. |
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC to 10 mA (ISB2) when CE is HIGH; eliminates need for external power management logic. |
| High-Speed 15 ns Access | tAA = 15 ns guarantees deterministic read latency for real-time firmware executing from SRAM. |
| Pb-Free TSOP II Packaging | RoHS-compliant 44-pin TSOP II footprint enables drop-in replacement in existing industrial PCB layouts. |
| TTL/CMOS Input Compatibility | VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V ensure reliable interfacing with both 5 V microcontrollers and FPGA I/O banks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 1-Mbit parallel SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C1008-15ZIN | Same 64K × 16 organization, 15 ns access, but uses 32-pin SOJ; no BHE/BLE - single 16-bit write only. | Lacks byte-write capability; requires external logic for partial writes; lower pin count reduces PCB area. | Select when system design does not require byte-level write granularity and board space is constrained. |
| IS61LV1024-15K | 64K × 16, 15 ns, 3.3 V core (with 5 V tolerant I/O); 44-pin TSOP II; ISB = 25 µA typical (vs. 10 mA). | Requires level translation for pure 5 V systems; ultra-low standby suits battery-backed applications. | Select when migrating to 3.3 V domains or requiring <100 µA standby; avoid in legacy 5 V-only designs. |
Compared with AS6C1008-15ZIN and IS61LV1024-15K, the CY7C1021B-15ZXC uniquely delivers 5 V-native operation with true dual-byte write control in a drop-in TSOP II package - essential for maintaining timing integrity and minimizing gate count in industrial bus-based systems.

FAQ
Is CY7C1021B-15ZXC compatible with 3.3 V I/O systems?
No. The CY7C1021B-15ZXC is a 5 V-only device with VIH minimum of 2.2 V and VIL maximum of 0.8 V - it lacks 3.3 V tolerant inputs. Interfacing with 3.3 V controllers requires level-shifting circuitry or selection of a 3.3 V SRAM like IS61LV1024-15K.
What is the difference between ISB1 and ISB2 standby current specifications?
ISB1 (40 mA max) applies when CE is HIGH and inputs are TTL-level driven; ISB2 (10 mA max) applies when CE is HIGH and all inputs are held at CMOS levels (VCC – 0.3 V or 0.3 V). ISB2 reflects true low-power mode achievable with proper input biasing in modern designs.
Can CY7C1021B-15ZXC perform simultaneous read and write operations?
No. It is an asynchronous SRAM with single-port architecture: the same address/data bus is used for both read and write. True simultaneous R/W requires dual-port or QDR SRAM. This device supports only sequential or interleaved access via CE/OE/WE timing control.
Does the CY7C1021B-15ZXC require external pull-up resistors on BHE/BLE pins?
No. BHE and BLE are active-Low inputs with standard TTL/CMOS thresholds; they must be driven actively LOW for byte write enable or HIGH (via controller GPIO or bus line) for disable. Floating these pins is undefined and may cause partial writes or bus contention.
