Product details
Overview
CY7C1041BNV33L-12VXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 K × 16 (4,194,304-bit) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, 3.3 V supply, TTL-compatible I/O, and byte-wide write enable (BLE/BHE) for independent low/high byte control. It operates in commercial temperature range (0 °C to +70 °C) and supports automatic CE-controlled power-down for low standby current.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1041BNV33L-12VXCT datasheet, CY7C1041BNV33L-12VXCT pinout, CY7C1041BNV33L-12VXCT application, or CY7C1041BNV33L-12VXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 12 ns read timing, ISB2 ≤ 0.5 mA CMOS standby current, byte-selectable 16-bit I/O architecture, and SOJ/TSOP II package compatibility in memory expansion designs.
Technical Context
The device implements a full asynchronous SRAM interface with independent chip enable (CE), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls, plus dual byte enables (BLE and BHE) enabling selective 8-bit writes to I/O0–I/O7 or I/O8–I/O15 without affecting the other byte lane. Address decoding covers A0–A17 (18 address lines), supporting 262,144-word addressing.
It features automatic power-down when CE is HIGH, placing outputs in high-impedance state and reducing ICC to ≤0.5 mA (ISB2) at 3.3 V. Data retention is guaranteed down to 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 330 μA, enabling low-power hold modes in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 256 K × 16 (4 Mbit), mapped to A0–A17 address space |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns - defines maximum clock-to-data delay in read cycles |
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - requires stable low-noise 3.3 V rail; not 5 V tolerant |
| Active Current (ICC) | ≤ 190 mA - determines peak power draw during burst reads/writes |
| CMOS Standby Current (ISB2) | ≤ 0.5 mA - enables ultra-low-power sleep mode with CE HIGH |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V minimum - supports backup operation during brownout or battery switchover |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible - ensures direct interfacing with 3.3 V logic families without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin TSOP II (Type II, 400-mil body width) with center power/ground pinout layout; also available in 44-pin SOJ. Pin assignment validated per Cypress Document #001-06434 Rev. *D, Page 3.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus; selects one of 262,144 memory words |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Data I/O (Low Byte) | Bi-directional 8-bit data path enabled by BLE = LOW during read/write |
| I/O8–I/O15 | Data I/O (High Byte) | Bi-directional 8-bit data path enabled by BHE = LOW during read/write |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active LOW global select; disables outputs and triggers auto power-down when HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable | Active LOW read control; must be LOW with CE LOW and WE HIGH for valid read data |
| WE | Write Enable | Active LOW write strobe; initiates write when CE and WE both LOW |
| BLE | Byte Low Enable | Active LOW control for I/O0–I/O7; allows independent low-byte write operations |
| BHE | Byte High Enable | Active LOW control for I/O8–I/O15; allows independent high-byte write operations |
Key Features

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing real-time I/O status and configuration registers in programmable logic controllers with deterministic response timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous SRAM buffer providing zero-wait-state access for CPU register reads and writes.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile-hold SRAM used with backup battery to retain last 30 seconds of flight data. Use Value: ≤330 μA retention current at 2.0 V extends battery life; CE-controlled power-down minimizes active logging power. | Use Scenario: Storing digital stimulus/response patterns in automated test equipment (ATE) for semiconductor wafer probing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-speed pattern memory synchronized to tester clock with precise tAA and tWC timing. Use Value: 12 ns tAA and tWC meet 83 MHz pattern rate requirements; TSOP II package supports dense PCB layout. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS7C3256B-12TIN | Same 256K×16 organization, 12 ns speed, but 3.3 V only; no byte-enable pins (single WE) | Lacks BLE/BHE - requires external gating for byte writes; simpler control but less flexible | Select if system uses full-word writes only and board space favors TSSOP package |
| IS61LV25616AL-12TLI | 12 ns, 3.3 V, 256K×16, but uses standard CE/OE/WE only - no BLE/BHE; higher ISB2 (1.5 mA) | No byte-select capability; higher standby current reduces battery life in hold mode | Choose when cost is primary constraint and byte masking is handled in FPGA logic |
Compared with AS7C3256B-12TIN and IS61LV25616AL-12TLI, CY7C1041BNV33L-12VXCT uniquely delivers true independent byte write control and lowest CMOS standby current (0.5 mA), making it optimal for power-sensitive, mixed-byte-width embedded systems requiring minimal external logic.

FAQ
Is CY7C1041BNV33L-12VXCT compatible with 5 V logic interfaces?
No. The device is strictly a 3.3 V-only part with VIH = 2.2 V minimum and VIL = 0.8 V maximum. Driving inputs above 3.6 V violates absolute maximum ratings and risks permanent damage. Level-shifting circuitry is required for interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers or FPGAs.
What is the function of the NC pins on the 44-pin TSOP II package?
Pins 19 and 20 are marked NC (No Connect) in the official pinout diagram (Document #001-06434 Rev. *D, Page 3). These pins have no internal connection and must remain unconnected - floating or tied to GND/VCC will cause undefined behavior or increased leakage.
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 (write mode), data on I/O0–I/O15 is written to the addressed location. This is the standard full-word write operation and is fully supported per the truth table and functional description in the datasheet.
Does this SRAM support battery backup without external circuitry?
It supports data retention down to 2.0 V, but requires external battery switchover circuitry (e.g., diode-OR or dedicated supervisor IC) to isolate VCC from main supply and apply backup voltage to VCC pin. No internal battery switch or charge control is integrated.
