Product details
Overview
CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K × 16-bit (4-Mbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, 3.3 V supply, TTL-compatible I/O, and byte-wide write enable (BLE/BHE). It supports automatic power-down when deselected and delivers 2.0 V data retention at 330 µA. Used in industrial control memory buffers requiring deterministic timing and low standby power.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT datasheet, CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT pinout, CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT application, or CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read timing, ISB2 = 0.5 mA CMOS standby current (Commercial L version), dual-byte write capability, and SOJ-44 package compatibility with legacy SRAM sockets.
Technical Context
The CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT implements a synchronous, non-volatile-retentive SRAM array organized as 262,144 words × 16 bits, using full CMOS circuitry for low power and high noise immunity. Its address decoding supports A0–A17 (18-bit addressing), and I/O bidirectionality is managed via CE, OE, WE, BLE, and BHE control signals with defined truth-table modes.
It features two independent byte-enable paths: BLE controls I/O0–I/O7 (lower byte), BHE controls I/O8–I/O15 (upper byte), enabling partial-word writes without read-modify-write cycles. Power management includes automatic CE-driven power-down (ISB1/ISB2), with retention down to 2.0 V at 330 µA - verified under Commercial L temperature range (0°C to +70°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 256K × 16-bit (4,194,304 bits); enables 16-bit data bus interfacing without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max; guarantees deterministic read latency for real-time industrial microcontroller interfaces |
| VCC Supply | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V; compatible with modern low-voltage logic families and eliminates level-shifting needs |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 0.5 mA max (Commercial L); reduces system idle power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V minimum; allows graceful degradation during brown-out events while preserving memory contents |
| I/O Capacitance | 8 pF max per pin; ensures signal integrity at 15 ns timing with minimal board-level termination |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C; validated for commercial embedded systems including networking and instrumentation |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin SOJ (400-mil body width), Pb-free, with center power/ground pinout architecture (VCC and VSS distributed across pins 16/17 and 31/32).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus supporting full 256K-word decoding; no address multiplexing required |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Lower Byte Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data path enabled only when BLE = LOW; isolated from upper byte during partial writes |
| I/O8–I/O15 | Upper Byte Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data path enabled only when BHE = LOW; supports independent upper/lower word access |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-LOW global select; initiates automatic power-down when HIGH, reducing ICC to ISB2 |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-LOW read control; forces I/O into high-Z when HIGH, enabling bus sharing |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-LOW write strobe; combined with CE, defines write cycle boundaries per JEDEC timing |
| BLE | Byte Low Enable | Active-LOW control for lower byte (I/O0–I/O7); enables granular 8-bit writes without disturbing upper byte |
| BHE | Byte High Enable | Active-LOW control for upper byte (I/O8–I/O15); permits independent 8-bit write targeting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent byte write control | BLE and BHE allow simultaneous or separate 8-bit writes to lower/upper data bytes - eliminates RMW overhead in firmware |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC from 170 mA (active) to 0.5 mA (standby) without external control logic or sleep commands |
| TTL-compatible I/O levels | VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max - interoperable with 3.3 V and 5 V tolerant microcontrollers without level shifters |
| 2.0 V data retention | Maintains stored data at 330 µA draw during brown-out or backup-battery operation - critical for nonvolatile buffer use cases |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-15TIN | 4-Mbit (256K×16), 15 ns, 3.3 V, but uses standard SOJ pinout (non-center-power) and lacks BLE/BHE | Requires external byte-mask logic for partial writes; no 2.0 V retention mode | Choose only if board layout already accommodates standard SOJ pinout and byte masking is handled in FPGA logic |
| IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | 4-Mbit, 15 ns, 3.3 V, SOJ-44, but no dedicated BLE/BHE - uses single WE with UB/LB pins instead | UB/LB operate identically but lack independent enable timing; retention voltage unspecified | Select when migrating from ISSI-based designs; verify timing margins on tDBE and tHZBE due to different enable architecture |
Compared with AS6C4008-15TIN and IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI, the CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT provides unique dual-byte write control with guaranteed 2.0 V data retention - critical for systems requiring partial-word updates and brown-out resilience without added logic or external backup.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT at 15 ns speed?
The maximum operating supply current (ICC) is 170 mA under commercial conditions (VCC = 3.6 V, f = 1/tRC = 66.7 MHz), measured with all inputs driven and outputs loaded per datasheet AC test conditions. This value reflects worst-case active power during continuous read/write cycling.
Does CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT support true 16-bit concurrent access?
Yes - the device supports full 16-bit bidirectional data transfer via I/O0–I/O15 when both BLE and BHE are asserted LOW. The internal array is physically organized as 256K × 16, eliminating need for external byte merging or multiplexing logic.
Can CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT be used in industrial temperature range applications?
No - the "L" suffix denotes Commercial L grade (0°C to +70°C). For –40°C to +85°C operation, the industrial-grade variant CY7C1041BNV33-15VXI must be used, which has higher ISB2 (8 mA) and different qualification testing.
Is the SOJ-44 package of CY7C1041BNV33L-15VXCT lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "X" in the suffix "VXCT" explicitly indicates Pb-free (lead-free) construction, and the device complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The package uses matte tin terminations and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3.
