Product details
Overview
CY7C1021BN-15VXIT 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 features independent byte write control (BHE/ BLE), automatic CE-controlled power-down, and low active power (130 mA max). Used in real-time data buffering for industrial PLCs and legacy microcontroller systems requiring non-volatile-compatible SRAM with fast parallel interface.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021BN-15VXIT datasheet, CY7C1021BN-15VXIT pinout, CY7C1021BN-15VXIT application, or CY7C1021BN-15VXIT equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, byte-select operation logic, SOJ package pin mapping, and direct alternatives for memory upgrade paths in embedded control and instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The CY7C1021BN-15VXIT implements a full 64K × 16 asynchronous SRAM array with dual-byte enable architecture: BLE controls I/O1–I/O8 (lower byte), BHE controls I/O9–I/O16 (upper byte), enabling partial writes without read-modify-write cycles. Its CE-driven automatic power-down reduces standby current to 10 mA (standard) or 0.5 mA (L-version).
Timing is defined by tAA = 15 ns (address-to-data valid), tRC = 15 ns (read cycle), and tWC = 15 ns (write cycle), all guaranteed over –40°C to +85°C at VCC = 5 V ±10%. Input thresholds meet TTL-compatible VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V; output drive supports IOH = –4 mA / IOL = 8 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 64K × 16 (1,048,576 bits), parallel x16 data bus |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max - guarantees deterministic read latency for 66 MHz bus interfaces |

| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to ISB2 (10 mA or 0.5 mA) when CE = HIGH - no external logic required |
| TTL-compatible input thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V - ensures interoperability with 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| High-Z outputs on deselect | I/O pins enter high-impedance state when CE = HIGH, OE = HIGH, or during write - prevents bus contention |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar parallel SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C1008-15ZIN | 1-Mbit (128K × 8), 15 ns, 3.3 V supply, different pinout (x8 vs x16) | Requires bus-width adaptation (two devices or multiplexing); unsuitable for direct x16 replacement | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V systems and redesigning address/data routing |
| IS61LV102416-15TQLI | 1-Mbit (64K × 16), 15 ns, 3.3 V supply, SOJ-44, same pinout but different VCC/VSS placement | Not pin-compatible due to shifted power/ground pins; requires PCB layout change | Choose for new 3.3 V designs needing identical memory map but accepting SOJ footprint revision |
Compared with AS6C1008-15ZIN and IS61LV102416-15TQLI, CY7C1021BN-15VXIT uniquely supports 5 V operation, industrial temperature range, and true x16 byte-select functionality in a pin-identical SOJ-44 package - making it irreplaceable in legacy 5 V embedded systems requiring minimal hardware change.

FAQ
Is CY7C1021BN-15VXIT pin-compatible with CY7C1021BN-12VC?
Yes - both use identical 44-pin SOJ-400 package with identical pinout and electrical interface. The only difference is guaranteed access time: 15 ns vs 12 ns. Systems designed for 15 ns timing will operate reliably with the -12VC variant, but not vice versa without timing margin verification.
Does CY7C1021BN-15VXIT support 3.3 V operation?
No - it is specified exclusively for 5 V ±10% operation (4.5 V to 5.5 V). Attempting 3.3 V supply results in undefined behavior, failed reads/writes, and potential data corruption. For 3.3 V systems, consider IS61LV102416-15TQLI with appropriate level-shifting.
What is the function of NC pins 22, 23, and 28?
Pins 22, 23, and 28 are No Connect - physically present but unconnected to the silicon die. They must remain unconnected on PCB; routing traces or applying voltage risks internal damage. These pins serve mechanical stability and package symmetry only.
Can BLE and BHE be asserted simultaneously for full 16-bit access?
Yes - asserting both BLE = LOW and BHE = LOW enables simultaneous read or write of all 16 data bits (I/O1–I/O16). This mode matches standard x16 memory transactions and is electrically identical to using a single 16-bit enable signal in simpler SRAMs.
