Product details
Overview
CY7C1021BN-15VXI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1-Mbit (64K × 16) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns maximum access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 5 V ±10% supply, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It supports independent byte-wide write enable via BHE/ BLE and is packaged in Pb-free 44-pin SOJ for embedded control and data buffering applications.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021BN-15VXI datasheet, CY7C1021BN-15VXI pinout, CY7C1021BN-15VXI application, or CY7C1021BN-15VXI equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read timing, ISB2 standby current ≤10 mA (CMOS inputs), dual-byte I/O control, and compatibility with legacy 44-pin SOJ footprint designs requiring industrial-grade SRAM.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a full 64K × 16 asynchronous architecture with separate address decoding (A0–A15), bidirectional I/O1–I/O16, and three-level chip select logic (CE, OE, WE). Byte-level write control is achieved through dedicated active-low BHE (I/O9–I/O16) and BLE (I/O1–I/O8) inputs, enabling partial-word writes without external logic.
Power management relies on automatic CE-driven power-down: when CE is HIGH, ICC drops to ≤10 mA (ISB2) under CMOS input conditions, while output drivers enter high-impedance state regardless of OE/BHE/ BLE status. Timing is specified at 5 V, with tHZOE/tHZCE = 7 ns and tLZWE = 3 ns for fast bus release.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (64K words × 16 bits); supports 128 KB data storage with parallel x16 interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max at 5 V; defines minimum clock-to-data delay in read cycles for synchronous bus interfacing |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%; compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic families without level translation |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade); validated for use in programmable logic controllers and motor drives |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | ≤10 mA at VCC max, CE > VCC – 0.3 V; enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep states |
| I/O Drive Strength | VOL = 0.4 V @ 8 mA, VOH = 2.4 V @ –4 mA; meets TTL output voltage thresholds for direct microcontroller connection |

Pinout & Package
44-pin SOJ (400-mil wide), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant package with gull-wing leads. Thermal resistance ΘJA = 64.32°C/W (SOJ), suitable for convection-cooled industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Input | 16-bit address bus; selects one of 65,536 memory locations; no internal latching |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Input/Output | Lower byte data path; driven during read when BLE = LOW, sampled during write when BLE = LOW |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Input/Output | Upper byte data path; driven during read when BHE = LOW, sampled during write when BHE = LOW |
| CE | Input/Control | Active-low chip enable; asserts device selection and disables outputs/high-Z when HIGH |
| WE | Input/Control | Active-low write enable; initiates write cycle when CE and WE both LOW; controls direction of I/O pins |
| OE | Input/Control | Active-low output enable; enables output drivers only when CE = LOW and OE = LOW; tri-states I/O when HIGH |
| BLE / BHE | Input/Control | Active-low byte enables; BLE controls I/O1–I/O8, BHE controls I/O9–I/O16; allow partial-word writes |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% main supply; two pins (11, 33) for reduced IR drop and improved noise immunity |
| VSS | Ground | System ground reference; two pins (12, 34) for low-inductance return path |
| NC | No Connect | Pins 22, 23, 28 are unconnected; must be left floating or tied to GND per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent byte write control | Separate BHE and BLE inputs enable selective upper- or lower-byte writes without external gating logic |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to ≤10 mA (ISB2) when CE is deasserted, eliminating need for external power-gating circuitry |
| High-impedance I/O control | I/O pins enter high-Z state on CE HIGH, OE HIGH, BHE/ BLE HIGH, or during write - prevents bus contention |
| Industrial temperature support | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in factory automation and transportation electronics |
| Pb-free SOJ packaging | RoHS-compliant 44-pin SOJ (51-85082) maintains mechanical and thermal compatibility with legacy assemblies |

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 IS61LV102416-15TQLI | 15 ns tAA, same 64K × 16 organization, but uses 44-pin TSOP-II instead of SOJ; VCC = 3.3 V only | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; better suited for new 3.3 V designs with space-constrained layouts | Select if migrating to 3.3 V logic and prioritizing TSOP footprint density over SOJ mechanical robustness |
| Cypress CY7C1021DV33-15ZC | Same pinout and function but 3.3 V supply (VCC = 3.3 V ±0.3 V); tAA = 15 ns; includes LVCMOS I/O | Not electrically compatible with 5 V buses; requires redesign of power delivery and I/O termination | Choose only for greenfield 3.3 V systems where lower active power (ICC ≤ 70 mA) justifies full redesign |
Compared with IS61LV102416-15TQLI and CY7C1021DV33-15ZC, CY7C1021BN-15VXI uniquely retains 5 V compatibility, SOJ mechanical reliability, and industrial temperature support without requiring voltage translation or layout rework - critical for cost-sensitive industrial retrofits.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for CY7C1021BN-15VXI at 5 V?
The maximum operating current (ICC) is 130 mA under commercial/industrial conditions at VCC = 5.5 V, f = fMAX = 1/tRC, and IOUT = 0 mA. This value is measured during active read/write cycles and reflects worst-case dynamic power consumption for thermal design margining.
Can CY7C1021BN-15VXI be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
No - CY7C1021BN-15VXI requires 5 V ±10% (4.5 V to 5.5 V) supply and has TTL-compatible I/O thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max). Direct connection to 3.3 V logic risks undriven inputs and violates VOH/VOL specs; level shifters are mandatory.
Does CY7C1021BN-15VXI support battery backup operation?
No - it lacks built-in battery-switching circuitry or low-VCC retention mode. While ISB2 current drops to ≤10 mA at VCC = 5 V, the device ceases memory retention below VCC(min) = 4.5 V and does not specify data retention at reduced voltage or with external backup.
Is the 44-pin SOJ package of CY7C1021BN-15VXI compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI)?
Yes - the 44-pin SOJ (51-85082) has standardized gull-wing lead geometry, 0.050-inch pitch, and defined coplanarity (≤0.004 inch), meeting IPC-A-610 Class 2 requirements for AOI detectability of solder joint defects in high-volume manufacturing.
