Product details
Overview
CY7C1021BN-15VXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns maximum access time, 5 V supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports independent byte write control via BHE/ BLE pins, automatic CE-based power-down, and operates in 44-pin TSOP II package. Used in real-time industrial controllers requiring deterministic memory access and low standby current.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021BN-15VXCT datasheet, CY7C1021BN-15VXCT pinout, CY7C1021BN-15VXCT application, or CY7C1021BN-15VXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns timing, ISB2 = 10 mA CMOS standby current, byte-selectable I/O1–I/O16 interface, and SOJ/TSOP II package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a synchronous, non-volatile-independent 64K × 16-bit array with dual-byte enable architecture: BLE controls I/O1–I/O8 (lower byte), BHE controls I/O9–I/O16 (upper byte). Address decoding uses full 16-bit A0–A15 inputs with no internal multiplexing.
Power management relies on CE-driven automatic power-down: when CE is HIGH, ICC drops to ISB2 = 10 mA (CMOS mode) or ISB1 = 40 mA (TTL mode), with no external sleep signal required. Output drivers support 30-pF load at 5 V with tHZOE = 7 ns and VOL = 0.4 V at IOL = 8 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 64K × 16-bit (1,048,576 bits); enables 16-bit data bus interfacing without external width expansion. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max at 5 V, –40°C to +85°C; guarantees deterministic read latency for hard real-time microcontroller co-processors. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%; compatible with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS logic families and eliminates level-shifting in industrial backplanes. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 mA max (CMOS inputs); reduces idle power in always-on embedded systems with infrequent memory access. |
| Operating Current (ICC) | 130 mA max at fMAX = 66.7 MHz; defines thermal budget for continuous burst reads in data acquisition buffers. |
| I/O Drive Strength | VOL = 0.4 V at IOL = 8 mA; ensures noise margin >0.4 V under worst-case PCB trace loading and fanout of 10. |
| Input Leakage (IIX) | ±1 µA max (industrial temp); prevents address line floating errors in high-impedance bus-hold configurations. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin TSOP Type II (10.16 mm × 18.42 mm, 0.8 mm pitch), RoHS-compliant Pb-free variant per ordering code suffix "X".
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Input | 16-bit unidirectional address bus; fully decoded to select one of 65,536 memory locations. |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Bidirectional Data (Lower Byte) | Driven by BLE; used for 8-bit sub-word writes/reads without affecting upper byte contents. |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Bidirectional Data (Upper Byte) | Driven by BHE; enables independent 8-bit updates to high-order data lanes in shared-memory architectures. |
| CE | Chip Enable (Active LOW) | Primary device select; triggers automatic power-down when HIGH, reducing ICC to ISB2. |
| WE | Write Enable (Active LOW) | Controls write initiation; must be LOW with CE LOW and BHE/ BLE LOW to latch data into memory array. |
| OE | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Enables output drivers; tri-states I/O pins when HIGH, allowing bus sharing with other peripherals. |
| BLE / BHE | Byte Low/High Enable (Active LOW) | Independent gating of lower/upper data bytes; eliminates need for external byte-masking logic. |
| 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 | BLE/BHE pins allow simultaneous or separate 8-bit writes to lower/upper data lanes-reducing bus arbitration overhead in multi-master systems. |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC from 130 mA (active) to 10 mA (standby) without external control logic-critical for battery-backed industrial HMIs. |
| 15 ns tAA with 5 V supply | Meets timing closure for 66 MHz CPU buses without wait states in PLC scan-cycle execution engines. |
| 44-pin TSOP II footprint | Backward-compatible with CY7C1021 series layouts; supports rework using standard surface-mount reflow profiles (J-STD-020). |
| Pb-free RoHS compliance | "X" suffix indicates lead-free terminations meeting JEDEC J-STD-609 Class 3 moisture sensitivity level (MSL3). |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffers | Automotive Engine Control Modules |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C1008-15PCN | 1-Mbit (128K × 8), 15 ns, 3.3 V only; no byte-enable pins; single VCC/VSS pair. | Requires external byte-width adaptation for 16-bit buses; unsuitable for 5 V legacy systems. | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V domain and redesigning bus interface logic. |
| IS61LV102416-15TQLI | 1-Mbit (64K × 16), 15 ns, 3.3 V; supports LVTTL levels but not 5 V tolerant; ISB = 25 µA (lower than CY7C1021BN). | Cannot interface directly with 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters; superior standby efficiency but higher cost. | Prefer for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing ultra-low ISB; avoid in mixed-voltage or retrofit applications. |
Compared with AS6C1008-15PCN and IS61LV102416-15TQLI, CY7C1021BN-15VXCT uniquely supports 5 V operation, dual-byte write, and industrial-temperature reliability without level translation-making it the only drop-in replacement for legacy 5 V SRAM-based control systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY7C1021BN-15VXCT?
The device supports a maximum read/write cycle time (tRC) of 15 ns, corresponding to 66.7 MHz maximum operational frequency. This is derived directly from the datasheet's AC switching characteristics table, where tRC = tAA = 15 ns for the -15 speed grade under industrial conditions. No derating is required at 5 V and –40°C to +85°C.
Does CY7C1021BN-15VXCT require an external clock signal?
No. CY7C1021BN-15VXCT is an asynchronous static RAM and requires no clock input. All operations are controlled by edge-triggered enable signals: CE, WE, OE, BHE, and BLE. Timing is governed solely by setup/hold relationships between these control signals and address/data lines, as defined in the truth table and AC waveforms on pages 7–8 of the datasheet.
Can CY7C1021BN-15VXCT be used in automotive applications?
Yes-when ordered with suffix "ZSXE" (TSOP II, Automotive-E grade), it is qualified for –40°C to +125°C operation and meets automotive reliability standards. The CY7C1021BN-15VXCT variant itself is commercial/industrial grade (–40°C to +85°C), making it suitable for under-hood ECUs only if ambient temperature remains within that range and transient protection is externally implemented.
How does the automatic power-down feature function without external control?
Power-down activates automatically when CE is driven HIGH, regardless of OE, WE, or BHE/ BLE states. Internal circuitry disables the memory array bias and output drivers, reducing ICC from 130 mA to 10 mA (ISB2) with CMOS-level inputs. No external sleep pin or configuration register is needed-this behavior is hardwired and documented in the Functional Description section (page 1) and Electrical Characteristics table (page 3).
