Product details
Overview
CY7C1041B-15ZC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K × 16-bit (4-Mbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, 5 V supply, TTL-compatible I/O, and dual-byte write enable (BLE/BHE) for independent lower/upper word access. It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and supports automatic CE-controlled power-down in standby mode. Used in real-time data buffering for industrial controllers and legacy embedded systems requiring deterministic SRAM timing.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1041B-15ZC datasheet, CY7C1041B-15ZC pinout, CY7C1041B-15ZC application, or CY7C1041B-15ZC equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, SOJ-44 pin mapping, byte-select operation details, retention behavior at 2.0 V, and direct alternatives for memory upgrade or sourcing continuity.
Technical Context
The CY7C1041B-15ZC implements a full asynchronous SRAM architecture with separate address decoding for 262,144 × 16-bit storage. Its read/write control relies on three independent enables: Chip Enable (CE), Output Enable (OE), and Write Enable (WE), with Byte Low Enable (BLE) and Byte High Enable (BHE) enabling 8-bit granularity writes without external logic.
It features dual power domains: internal voltage regulation steps down 5 V to ~3.3 V for core logic, while I/O remains TTL-compatible. Standby current drops to 0.5 mA (L version) when CE is HIGH, and data retention is guaranteed at 2.0 V with ≤400 µW consumption - critical for battery-backed applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 256K × 16-bit (4,194,304 bits); supports 16-bit parallel bus interface without glue logic |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max; ensures compatibility with 66 MHz CPU buses in legacy industrial designs |
| VCC Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ± 0.5 V; matches standard TTL/CMOS system rails and eliminates need for auxiliary regulators |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 0.5 mA max (L version); enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep in portable instrumentation |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min; allows operation from single-cell Li-ion or backup coin cell without level-shifting circuitry |
| I/O Capacitance | 8 pF max per pin; reduces signal integrity risk on dense PCBs with long trace runs |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C; validated for commercial-grade embedded systems including test equipment and telecom line cards |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin SOJ (Small Outline J-lead), 400-mil body width, center power/ground pinout (VCC on pins 15 & 31, VSS on pins 16 & 32).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word addressing; no address multiplexing required |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Lower-Byte Bidirectional Data | Driven during read when BLE = LOW; latched on write when BLE = LOW and WE = LOW |
| I/O8–I/O15 | Upper-Byte Bidirectional Data | Driven during read when BHE = LOW; latched on write when BHE = LOW and WE = LOW |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-LOW global select; forces high-impedance I/O and auto power-down when HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-LOW read control; disables outputs (high-Z) when HIGH, independent of CE state |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-LOW write strobe; initiates write cycle only when CE = LOW and WE = LOW |
| BLE | Byte Low Enable | Active-LOW control for lower 8-bit data path; enables partial-word writes without masking logic |
| BHE | Byte High Enable | Active-LOW control for upper 8-bit data path; pairs with BLE for true 16-bit or split-byte operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-Byte Write Control | Independent BLE/BHE inputs allow 8-bit writes to either half of the 16-bit bus - eliminates need for external byte-mask logic in microcontroller interfaces |
| Automatic Power-Down | CE HIGH automatically reduces ICC to ≤0.5 mA (L version) without external control signals or sequencing |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2 V min, VOL = 0.4 V max at 8 mA - interoperates directly with 5 V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs without level shifters |
| 2.0 V Data Retention | Guaranteed data hold at 2.0 V supply with ≤400 µW consumption - supports battery-backed SRAM operation in power-fail scenarios |
| Low-Impedance Outputs | tLZOE = 0 ns, tHZOE = 7 ns - enables fast bus turnaround in shared-memory multi-master systems |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffer | Legacy Telecom Line Card Cache |
|---|---|

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 IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | Same 256K × 16 organization, 15 ns speed, but uses TSOP-44 package and lacks BLE/BHE - requires external byte-enable logic | Targeted at cost-sensitive consumer electronics; not qualified for industrial temp range (–40°C to +85°C) | Select when board space permits TSOP and system design already includes byte-mask logic |
| Cypress CY7C1041GN-15ZC | Pin-compatible drop-in replacement with identical SOJ-44 footprint and BLE/BHE support, but rated for industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and higher ISB2 (6 mA) | Suitable for extended-temperature deployments such as base station radios and railway signaling hardware | Choose for new designs requiring extended temp qualification without layout change |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI, CY7C1041B-15ZC provides native byte-select capability and commercial-temp stability; versus CY7C1041GN-15ZC, it trades industrial rating for lower standby current (0.5 mA vs 6 mA), making it optimal for battery-constrained commercial systems.

FAQ
Is CY7C1041B-15ZC RoHS-compliant?
Yes. CY7C1041B-15ZC was manufactured with lead-free terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "ZC" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant SOJ packaging with matte tin plating, confirmed in Cypress's official product change notices dated 2004–2005.
Can CY7C1041B-15ZC operate at 3.3 V?
No. The device requires 5.0 V ± 0.5 V supply. Its internal regulator generates ~3.3 V for core logic, but VCC must be 5 V. Applying 3.3 V will prevent proper operation and violate Absolute Maximum Ratings - VOH and VOL specifications assume 5 V VCC.
What is the meaning of "L version" in data retention specs?
The "L" designation refers to the low-power variant of CY7C1041B, identified by part numbers ending in "L" (e.g., CY7C1041BL-15ZC). It achieves 0.5 mA ISB2 standby current and 2.0 V data retention, whereas standard versions specify 3 mA ISB2 and no guaranteed retention below 4.5 V.
Does CY7C1041B-15ZC support concurrent read/write operations?
No. It is a single-port asynchronous SRAM. Read and write cycles are mutually exclusive: WE must be HIGH for reads, LOW for writes. True concurrent access requires dual-port or QDR SRAM architectures not implemented in this device.
