Product details
Overview
CY7C1021BN-12VXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 12 ns maximum access time, 5 V supply, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It supports independent byte write via BHE/ BLE control lines and operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). Used in legacy industrial controllers for real-time data buffering where deterministic read/write timing and low standby current are required.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021BN-12VXCT datasheet, CY7C1021BN-12VXCT pinout, CY7C1021BN-12VXCT application, or CY7C1021BN-12VXCT equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (44-pin TSOP II), confirmed byte-select functionality, validated timing parameters (tAA = 12 ns, tRC = 12 ns), and direct substitution guidance against industry-standard SRAM alternatives.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully decoded 64K × 16-bit asynchronous SRAM array with separate byte enable logic for upper (I/O9–I/O16/BHE) and lower (I/O1–I/O8/BLE) data lanes. All control inputs (CE, OE, WE, BHE, BLE) are active-low and TTL/CMOS compatible.
Power management relies on automatic CE-driven power-down: when CE is HIGH, ICC drops to ≤10 mA (standard) or ≤0.5 mA (L-version), with no external sleep signal required. Output drivers support 30-pF load at 5 V with guaranteed VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V under full drive conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 64K × 16-bit (1,048,576 bits); enables 16-bit parallel data bus interfacing without external multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns max at 5 V, 0°C–70°C; guarantees deterministic read latency for cycle-accurate microcontroller or FPGA memory interfaces. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%; compatible with legacy 5 V logic families and eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry. |
| Active Current (ICC) | 140 mA max at fMAX; defines worst-case power budget for system-level thermal design and regulator sizing. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 mA max (standard), 0.5 mA max (L-version); determines quiescent power draw during idle periods in battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Byte Write Control | Dual active-low BHE/BLE pins enable selective 8-bit writes without read-modify-write overhead-critical for efficient I/O register emulation. |
| Output Drive Strength | IOH = –4 mA, IOL = 8 mA at VOH/VOL limits; ensures reliable signal integrity driving standard TTL loads over PCB traces up to 10 cm. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin TSOP Type II (JEDEC MO-141AC), 400-mil width, Pb-free (RoHS-compliant), surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Input | 16-bit address bus; selects one of 65,536 memory locations; requires stable setup/hold relative to CE/OE/WE edges. |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Input/Output | Lower byte data lane; driven during reads or writes only when BLE = LOW; tri-stated otherwise. |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Input/Output | Upper byte data lane; driven during reads or writes only when BHE = LOW; tri-stated otherwise. |
| CE | Input/Control | Chip Enable (active LOW); primary selection signal-HIGH forces automatic power-down and high-impedance I/Os. |
| OE | Input/Control | Output Enable (active LOW); controls direction of I/O pins-HIGH disables outputs and enables input mode or high-Z state. |
| WE | Input/Control | Write Enable (active LOW); initiates write cycle when CE and BHE/BLE are also LOW; must meet tSD/tHD timing relative to address/data. |
| BHE, BLE | Input/Control | Byte High/Low Enable (active LOW); independently gate upper/lower 8-bit data paths-enables partial-word writes without corruption. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% supply; two dedicated pins (11, 33) reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity on dense boards. |
| VSS | Ground | System ground reference; two dedicated pins (12, 34) provide low-inductance return path for switching currents. |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 22, 23, 28 are unconnected internally-must remain unpopulated or left floating per design guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent Byte Write | Separate BHE/BLE control allows atomic 8-bit writes to upper or lower half without disturbing adjacent bytes-reducing firmware overhead in register-mapped peripherals. |
| Automatic Power-Down | CE HIGH triggers hardware-initiated power reduction to ≤10 mA (or ≤0.5 mA L-version), eliminating software sleep-state management in resource-constrained systems. |
| 5 V TTL/CMOS Compatibility | All inputs accept 0–3.0 V logic levels; outputs drive standard TTL loads-ensures plug-and-play integration with legacy 8051, Z80, or FPGA I/O banks. |
| High-Speed Asynchronous Operation | 12 ns access time enables single-cycle reads/writes with 83 MHz microcontrollers or FPGAs-no wait states required in timing-critical control loops. |
| Robust Signal Integrity | Specified 30-pF AC load, 5 ns output enable/disable times (tLZOE/tHZOE), and ≤8 pF pin capacitance ensure clean transitions on 50-Ω trace environments. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffer | Legacy Microcontroller Memory Expansion |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile shadow RAM holding last-known display state during ignition cycling; retains data during 500 ms power interruption. Use Value: Industrial-grade temp range (–40°C to +85°C) and 0.5 mA ISB2 (L-version option) ensure reliable state retention with minimal backup power draw. |
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 IS61LV1024-12TQL | Same 64K × 16 organization, 12 ns tAA, 5 V supply, but uses 44-pin TSOP II with identical pinout and BHE/BLE logic. | Drop-in replacement in new designs; same footprint and timing-but lacks automotive-grade variants and extended temp screening. | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where AEC-Q100 compliance is not required and long-term obsolescence risk is mitigated by ISSI's active SRAM roadmap. |
| ON Semiconductor MC68HC11-compatible MCM62950P12 | Functionally identical 64K × 16 SRAM with 12 ns access, but packaged in 44-pin SOJ (not TSOP II) and rated only for commercial temp (0°C–70°C). | Requires PCB layout change due to SOJ vs. TSOP II mechanical form factor; suitable only for non-temperature-critical upgrades of legacy 68HC11 systems. | Choose only when replacing failed units in existing SOJ-based assemblies-avoid for new designs due to limited availability and no Pb-free option. |
Compared with IS61LV1024-12TQL and MCM62950P12, CY7C1021BN-12VXCT offers verified automotive-grade variants (A/E), Pb-free TSOP II packaging, and Cypress's documented power-down behavior-making it preferable for new industrial or automotive-adjacent designs requiring long lifecycle support and thermal robustness.

FAQ
Is CY7C1021BN-12VXCT RoHS-compliant and Pb-free?
Yes. The "X" suffix in -12VXCT denotes Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) construction. This variant uses lead-free solder terminations and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 requirements. Full material declarations and test reports are available upon request for qualifying customers.
Can CY7C1021BN-12VXCT operate at 3.3 V?
No. This device is specified exclusively for 5 V ±10% operation (4.5 V to 5.5 V). Attempting 3.3 V operation will result in undefined timing, increased ICC, and potential data corruption. For 3.3 V systems, consider Cypress's newer low-voltage SRAMs like CY62167EV30 or ISSI IS61WV102416BLL.
What is the difference between CY7C1021BN-12VXCT and CY7C1021BN-12VC?
CY7C1021BN-12VXCT uses a 44-pin TSOP II package with Pb-free terminations, while CY7C1021BN-12VC uses a 44-pin 400-mil SOJ package with traditional SnPb solder. Both share identical electrical specs and timing, but differ mechanically-TSOP II enables higher board density and reflow compatibility, whereas SOJ requires wave-solder or hand-solder processes.
Does CY7C1021BN-12VXCT support battery backup operation?
It does not include built-in battery switchover circuitry, but its ≤0.5 mA ISB2 (L-version) and CE-controlled power-down make it suitable for external battery-backed designs. When VCC drops below 2.0 V, data retention is not guaranteed-designs must implement external voltage monitoring and switch to backup supply before VCC falls below 4.0 V.
