Product details
Overview
CY7C1021BNV33L-15VXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 64K × 16-bit (1,048,576-bit) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 3.3V operation (3.0–3.6V), 15 ns maximum access time (tAA), automatic CE-controlled power-down, and independent byte-wide write enable (BLE/BHE). It supports high-speed data buffering in industrial control modules where deterministic timing and low standby power are required.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1021BNV33L-15VXC datasheet, CY7C1021BNV33L-15VXC pinout, CY7C1021BNV33L-15VXC application, or CY7C1021BNV33L-15VXC equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOJ-44 package mapping, byte-select functionality, retention current at 2.0V, and real-world use cases in legacy embedded systems requiring non-volatile-compatible SRAM behavior.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a full asynchronous interface with separate chip enable (CE), output enable (OE), write enable (WE), and dual byte enables (BLE/BHE) to support 8-bit sub-word writes without bus contention. Its internal 512 × 2048 memory array uses CMOS sense amplifiers and drivers optimized for 3.3V logic levels and TTL/CMOS-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max).
Power management is handled via two standby modes: ISB1 (TTL-input CE power-down, 40 mA max) and ISB2 (CMOS-input CE power-down, 5 mA max); the L-version further reduces ISB2 to 500 µA and enables data retention down to VCC = 2.0V with ICCDR ≤ 100 µA - critical for battery-backed applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 64K × 16-bit (1 Mbit total); enables 16-bit parallel data path without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max; guarantees read data valid within 15 ns of address stabilization for 66 MHz system timing |
| VCC Operating Range | 3.0V to 3.6V; compatible with standard 3.3V LVTTL/LVCMOS I/O domains and noise margins |
| Active Current (ICC) | 140 mA max (commercial); defines peak supply draw during burst reads/writes at 66 MHz |
| Standby Current (ISB2-L) | 500 µA max; enables >100-hour battery backup in low-power hold mode at 2.0V VCC |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min; allows memory state preservation during brown-out or controlled power-gating sequences |
| Input Capacitance | 6 pF max; limits capacitive loading on address/control buses, supporting longer trace routing |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin 400-mil molded SOJ (Pb-free), JEDEC MS-025AC compliant, 0.07" pitch, body width 0.400", lead count 44.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A15 | Address Inputs | 16-bit address bus; selects one of 65,536 memory locations for read/write access |
| I/O1–I/O8 | Lower Data Bus | Bi-directional 8-bit data path enabled only when BLE = LOW during read/write |
| I/O9–I/O16 | Upper Data Bus | Bi-directional 8-bit data path enabled only when BHE = LOW during read/write |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-LOW global select; forces device into automatic power-down when HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-LOW read control; disables outputs (high-Z) when HIGH, regardless of CE state |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-LOW write strobe; initiates write cycle only when CE and WE both LOW |
| BLE | Byte Low Enable | Active-LOW control for lower byte (I/O1–I/O8); enables partial-word writes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-15TI | Same 256K × 16 organization but 15 ns tAA; higher density, no data retention spec below 2.7V | Preferred for new designs needing larger buffer space; unsuitable for sub-2.7V brown-out retention | Select if memory expansion >1 Mbit is required and retention voltage margin is not critical |
| AS6C4008-15PCN | 4 Mbit (256K × 16) with 15 ns tAA; 3.3V-only, ISB = 1 µA (vs. 500 µA), no BLE/BHE separation | Lacks byte-enable flexibility; requires external gating for partial writes | Choose when ultra-low standby current dominates over byte-select capability |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-15TI and AS6C4008-15PCN, the CY7C1021BNV33L-15VXC uniquely balances 1 Mbit capacity, true 2.0V data retention, and hardware byte masking - making it irreplaceable in cost-constrained, battery-backed industrial controllers where partial writes and brown-out resilience are mandatory.

FAQ
Is CY7C1021BNV33L-15VXC compatible with 5V-tolerant microcontrollers?
No. This device operates strictly at 3.3V (3.0–3.6V) and has VIH = 2.2V minimum, VIL = 0.8V maximum. Direct connection to 5V logic requires level-shifting circuitry; its inputs are not 5V-tolerant, and exceeding VCC + 0.5V risks latch-up per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
What is the minimum VCC required to retain data after power removal?
Data retention is guaranteed down to VCC = 2.0V with CE held HIGH and inputs biased to valid logic levels (VIN > VCC – 0.3V or VIN < 0.3V). At this voltage, ICCDR remains ≤ 100 µA, enabling multi-day retention on small backup capacitors or coin cells.
Does the SOJ-44 package support reflow soldering?
Yes. The CY7C1021BNV33L-15VXC in Pb-free SOJ-44 (ordering code suffix -VXC) is qualified for lead-free reflow per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature up to 260°C and 60-second duration above 217°C, matching standard SnAgCu process profiles.
Can BLE and BHE be asserted simultaneously for full 16-bit writes?
Yes. When both BLE and BHE are LOW while CE and WE are LOW, all 16 I/O lines (I/O1–I/O16) participate in the write operation. The truth table explicitly defines this as "Write – All bits" mode, with no timing penalty versus single-byte writes.
