Product details
Overview
CY7C1021BNL-15ZXCT 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 legacy industrial controllers for nonvolatile data buffering during processor handshaking.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021BNL-15ZXCT datasheet, CY7C1021BNL-15ZXCT pinout, CY7C1021BNL-15ZXCT application, or CY7C1021BNL-15ZXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns timing compliance, SOJ/TSOP-II package compatibility, byte-selectable I/O architecture, and ISB2 standby current ≤10 mA at industrial temperature.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a synchronous, address-decoded 65,536 × 16-bit memory array with dual-byte write enable logic. Read/write operations are controlled by CE, OE, WE, BHE, and BLE with defined truth-table states - no internal clock or refresh required. All I/O pins enter high-impedance state when CE is HIGH or during write cycles.
Power management relies on automatic CE-driven power-down: ISB2 = 10 mA (CMOS inputs, f = 0) and ISB1 = 40 mA (TTL inputs, f = fMAX). Thermal resistance is ΘJA = 64.32°C/W (SOJ) and 76.89°C/W (TSOP-II), confirming suitability for convection-cooled industrial PCBs without forced airflow.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1 Mbit (64K × 16); supports 16-bit parallel bus interface without external data-width expansion. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max at VCC = 5 V ±10%, TA = –40°C to +85°C; meets real-time deterministic read latency in PLC scan cycles. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%; compatible with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS system rails without level-shifting. |
| Active Current (ICC) | 130 mA max; enables thermal design with <1 W total dissipation in SOJ package under continuous access. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 mA max (CMOS inputs); reduces idle power in battery-backed or energy-constrained industrial nodes. |
| I/O Configuration | 16 bidirectional data lines (I/O1–I/O16) with independent byte controls (BLE/BHE); allows partial-word writes without read-modify-write overhead. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (Industrial grade); validated for deployment in uncontrolled cabinet environments per IEC 60068-2-14. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin 400-mil-wide SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant. Pin pitch: 0.050 inch; lead thickness: 0.004–0.013 inch; body width: 0.395–0.405 inch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Input | 16-bit address bus; selects one of 65,536 memory locations; no internal latching - requires stable address during CE LOW. |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Bidirectional Data (Lower Byte) | Driven by BLE control; used for 8-bit sub-word access; tri-stated when BLE HIGH or CE HIGH. |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Bidirectional Data (Upper Byte) | Driven by BHE control; enables independent upper-byte writes; avoids full 16-bit bus contention. |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary chip select; initiates power-down mode when HIGH; must be stable before address setup for valid access. |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Controls write initiation; combined with CE and BLE/BHE to define write cycle boundaries per truth table. |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Enables output drivers only during reads; forces I/O into high-Z when HIGH, even if CE is LOW. |
| BLE / BHE | Byte Low/High Enable (active LOW) | Independent gating of lower/upper data bytes; enables true 8-bit writes without masking or software overhead. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5 V ±10% main 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 I/O switching currents. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Independent byte write control | Separate BLE and BHE inputs allow concurrent or isolated 8-bit writes to upper/lower memory bytes - eliminates read-modify-write for partial updates. |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to ISB2 = 10 mA (CMOS inputs) when CE is HIGH; cuts active power by >92% during idle bus periods in industrial sequencers. |
| High-impedance I/O control | I/O pins enter high-Z on CE HIGH, OE HIGH, or during write - prevents bus contention in multi-SRAM or shared-data-bus architectures. |
| 15 ns access at industrial temp | tAA = 15 ns guaranteed over –40°C to +85°C; ensures deterministic timing margin for 66 MHz CPU interfaces with 2-cycle wait states. |
| Pb-free SOJ packaging | RoHS-compliant 44-pin 400-mil SOJ (J-lead) with matte tin finish; compatible with standard reflow profiles and legacy wave-solder processes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 64K×16 SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV1024-15KLI | 15 ns tAA, 3.3 V supply, 44-pin TSOP-II; no byte enable - single 16-bit write only. | Requires voltage translation for 5 V systems; lacks BLE/BHE, increasing firmware complexity for partial writes. | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and redesigning bus interface logic. |
| AS6C1008-15ZIN | 15 ns tAA, 5 V supply, 32-pin SOIC; 128K×8 organization - requires external address multiplexing for 16-bit access. | Needs external 74LVC139 decoder and additional PCB area; incompatible pinout and footprint. | Choose only when board space permits SOIC layout and system can tolerate added decode latency. |
Compared with IS61LV1024-15KLI and AS6C1008-15ZIN, CY7C1021BNL-15ZXCT uniquely delivers native 16-bit parallel access, dual-byte write control, and industrial-grade 5 V operation in a drop-in SOJ/TSOP footprint - preserving legacy timing, power, and layout integrity.

FAQ
Is CY7C1021BNL-15ZXCT pin-compatible with CY7C1021BN-15ZXC?
Yes - both use identical 44-pin TSOP-II packaging and share identical pin functions, including A0–A15, I/O1–I/O16, CE, OE, WE, BHE, BLE, VCC, and VSS. The "L" suffix denotes Pb-free construction, not pinout change. Layout reuse is fully supported.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst reads?
This is a static RAM with no internal clock - it supports asynchronous operation only. Maximum effective throughput is determined by tRC = 15 ns (read cycle time), yielding up to 66.7 MHz sustained random-access rate. No burst mode or clock input exists.
Does CY7C1021BNL-15ZXCT support battery backup operation?
No - it lacks built-in battery-switching circuitry or NVSRAM functionality. However, its ISB2 = 10 mA standby current at 5 V enables external battery-backed operation using discrete diode-OR and regulator circuits, commonly implemented in industrial controllers.
Can BLE and BHE be asserted simultaneously for full 16-bit writes?
Yes - asserting both BLE and BHE LOW while CE and WE are LOW executes a full 16-bit write to the addressed location. This is explicitly defined in the truth table (Row 1: CE=L, OE=H, WE=L, BLE=L, BHE=L → I/O1–I/O16 = Data In).
