Product details
Overview
CY7C1021BN-12ZXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1-Mbit (64 K × 16) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C), 5 V ±10% supply, and automatic CE-controlled power-down mode. It supports independent byte-wide writes via BHE/ BLE and operates in standard 44-pin TSOP II packaging for embedded memory subsystems in industrial control and automotive instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021BN-12ZXC datasheet, CY7C1021BN-12ZXC pinout, CY7C1021BN-12ZXC application, or CY7C1021BN-12ZXC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA ≤ 15 ns, ISB2 ≤ 10 mA (CMOS inputs), dual-byte enable support, and TSOP II package compatibility with legacy SRAM footprints.
Technical Context
The CY7C1021BN-12ZXC implements a full 65,536 × 16-bit asynchronous SRAM array with separate address decoding for row/column selection and integrated sense amplifiers. Its read/write timing is governed by overlapping CE, WE, OE, BHE, and BLE control signals - not clocked logic - enabling deterministic access without external synchronization.
Power management relies on automatic CE-driven transition into low-power standby (ISB2 = 10 mA max at CMOS input levels), while I/O tristating is controlled independently by OE, CE, BHE, and BLE states. All 16 bidirectional data lines (I/O1–I/O16) enter high-impedance when any of those controls are deasserted.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 64 K × 16-bit (1 Mbit); supports 16-bit parallel bus interface without external data multiplexing |
| Access time (tAA) | 15 ns maximum; enables direct interfacing with microcontrollers running at ≤66 MHz bus clocks |
| Supply voltage | 5 V ±10%; compatible with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS system rails and level-shifting requirements |
| Standby current (ISB2) | 10 mA max (CMOS inputs); allows low-power hold mode during processor sleep without external gating |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C; qualified for industrial-grade reliability in uncontrolled ambient environments |
| Package | 44-pin TSOP II (10.16 mm × 20.95 mm); surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and IPC-7351B land patterns |
| I/O drive strength | VOL = 0.4 V at IOL = 8 mA; ensures robust noise margin against 5 V TTL loads across full temperature range |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin Thin Small Outline Package Type II (TSOP II), 400-mil body width, JEDEC MO-141AC compliant, lead-free (RoHS-compliant) construction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address inputs | 16-bit address bus; selects one of 65,536 memory locations; no internal latching - requires stable address during CE LOW |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Data I/O (lower byte) | Bidirectional 8-bit data path enabled only when BLE = LOW and OE = LOW (read) or WE = LOW (write) |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Data I/O (upper byte) | Bidirectional 8-bit data path enabled only when BHE = LOW and OE = LOW (read) or WE = LOW (write) |
| CE | Chip enable | Active-low global select; forces device into standby (ISB2) when HIGH; required LOW for all read/write cycles |
| WE | Write enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write when CE and corresponding byte enable (BLE/BHE) are also LOW |
| OE | Output enable | Active-low output gate; controls direction of I/O pins - HIGH forces tristate regardless of CE/WE state |
| BLE / BHE | Byte enable (low/high) | Independent active-low controls for lower (I/O1–I/O8) and upper (I/O9–I/O16) data bytes; enables partial-word writes |
| VCC (pins 11, 33) | Power supply | 5 V ±10% main supply; dual VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity on wide buses |
| VSS (pins 12, 34) | Ground | Dual ground pins provide low-inductance return path for I/O and core logic switching currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 mA max without external logic or software intervention when CE is deasserted |
| Independent byte write control | Enables 8-bit sub-word writes using BLE/BHE - eliminates need for external byte masking logic |
| High-impedance I/O on multiple conditions | I/O pins go Hi-Z automatically on CE HIGH, OE HIGH, BHE/BLE HIGH, or during write - prevents bus contention |
| Low input leakage (±1 µA) | Minimizes standby current draw from address/data bus drivers in battery-backed or low-power systems |
| TSOP II footprint compatibility | Direct replacement for legacy 44-pin SRAMs (e.g., HM628128, AS6C1008) in space-constrained PCB layouts |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffer | Automotive Instrument Cluster Memory |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-tolerant (industrial-grade) SRAM used as ring buffer for cyclic data capture; CE toggled per packet to minimize average power. Use Value: Delivers verified 10 mA standby current at +85 °C - critical for thermal-limited avionics enclosures with passive cooling only. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 64K × 16 SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C1008-15TIN | 15 ns tAA, same 44-pin TSOP II, but 3.3 V only; no 5 V operation | Requires level-shifting or separate 3.3 V rail; unsuitable for pure 5 V systems | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and redesigning power delivery |
| HM628128ALFP-10 | 10 ns tAA, 5 V, but obsolete; limited availability and no automotive qualification | Lacks AEC-Q100 compliance; not approved for new automotive designs | Acceptable for legacy repair only; not recommended for new designs requiring long-term supply |
Compared with AS6C1008-15TIN and HM628128ALFP-10, CY7C1021BN-12ZXC uniquely combines 5 V operation, industrial temperature rating, RoHS-compliant TSOP II packaging, and guaranteed 15 ns access - making it the only viable option for new 5 V industrial and automotive-A designs requiring assured long-term sourcing.

FAQ
Is CY7C1021BN-12ZXC compatible with 3.3 V I/O interfaces?
No. CY7C1021BN-12ZXC is a 5 V-only device with VIH minimum of 2.2 V and VIL maximum of 0.8 V. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic requires level translation; it does not support mixed-voltage operation or 3.3 V tolerance on inputs or outputs.
Does this SRAM require an external clock signal?
No. CY7C1021BN-12ZXC is a fully asynchronous static RAM. All operations are controlled by edge- and level-sensitive control signals (CE, WE, OE, BHE, BLE); no clock input or timing reference is needed for read/write cycles.
What is the meaning of "-12ZXC" in the part number?
The suffix "-12ZXC" denotes: "12" = 15 ns access speed grade (Cypress internal code), "Z" = lead-free (Pb-free) finish, "X" = industrial temperature range (–40 °C to +85 °C), and "C" = 44-pin TSOP II package - per Cypress ordering code definitions in Document 001-06494 Rev. *J.
Can CY7C1021BN-12ZXC be used in place of CY7C1021DV-15ZSXI?
No. CY7C1021DV-15ZSXI is a 3.3 V, 15 ns, 1-Mbit SRAM in SOIC package with different pinout and voltage domain. The CY7C1021BN-12ZXC is 5 V, TSOP II, and not functionally or electrically interchangeable without board-level redesign.
