Product details
Overview
CY7C1041CV33-20VXE from Cypress Semiconductor is an automotive-grade 4-Mbit (256 K × 16) CMOS static RAM with 20 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and dual-byte write enable (BHE/BLE). It operates across –40 °C to +125 °C (Automotive-E grade), supports automatic CE power-down (ISB2 ≤ 15 mA), and is packaged in a 44-pin 400-mil SOJ. It serves as main data buffer memory in engine control units requiring deterministic, non-volatile-access timing.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1041CV33-20VXE datasheet, CY7C1041CV33-20VXE pinout, CY7C1041CV33-20VXE application, or CY7C1041CV33-20VXE equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 20 ns read access, byte-selectable 16-bit I/O architecture, CE/OE/WE/BHE/BLE control logic compatibility, and Automotive-E thermal compliance for under-hood deployment.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a synchronous, address-decoded 256K × 16-bit array with independent high- and low-byte write enables (BHE, BLE), enabling partial-word writes without read-modify-write cycles. Its CE-controlled automatic power-down mode reduces standby current to 15 mA at 125 °C, while TTL-compatible inputs ensure direct interfacing with legacy microcontrollers.
Read operations require CE and OE asserted low with WE high; write operations require CE and WE low, plus active BHE or BLE to select I/O8–I/O15 or I/O0–I/O7 respectively. All I/O pins enter high-impedance state when CE is high, OE is high, or during write cycles - eliminating bus contention in multi-device systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 256 K × 16 bits (4 Mbit total); enables single-cycle 16-bit data transfers without interleaving. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns max at VCC = 3.3 V ±10%, TA = –40 °C to +125 °C; guarantees deterministic latency for real-time ECU firmware. |
| Operating Current (ICC) | 90 mA max at fMAX = 50 MHz (20 ns cycle); supports sustained burst reads in safety-critical control loops. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 15 mA max at VCC = 3.3 V, TA = 125 °C, CMOS input conditions; enables low-power sleep modes in always-on vehicle networks. |
| I/O Voltage Compatibility | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and outputs (VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ 8 mA); interoperable with 3.3 V microcontrollers without level shifters. |
| Thermal Resistance (θJA) | 42.96 °C/W for 44-pin TSOP II package; enables reliable operation up to 125 °C ambient with standard PCB copper pour. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 44-pin 400-mil SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead), RoHS-compliant, lead-free option available.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Input | 18-bit address bus selecting one of 262,144 memory locations; supports full 256K word addressing. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data (Low Byte) | 8-bit data path enabled only when BLE = LOW; allows partial writes to lower byte without affecting upper byte. |
| I/O8–I/O15 | Bidirectional Data (High Byte) | 8-bit data path enabled only when BHE = LOW; enables independent high-byte updates in mixed-data-width systems. |
| CE | Chip Enable (Active LOW) | Global device select; forces all I/O into high-Z when HIGH, enabling memory expansion via chip-select decoding. |
| OE | Output Enable (Active LOW) | Controls output driver enable; must be LOW for read data to appear on I/O pins; tri-states outputs when HIGH. |
| WE | Write Enable (Active LOW) | Initiates write cycle when CE and WE both LOW; combined with BHE/BLE to define write granularity. |
| BHE, BLE | Byte Write Enable (Active LOW) | Independent controls for high/low byte; eliminates need for external byte masking logic in 16-bit bus systems. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3 V ±10% supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers; two dedicated pins reduce IR drop and noise coupling. |
| VSS | Ground | System ground reference; two dedicated pins improve return path integrity and reduce ground bounce. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive-E Temperature Range | –40 °C to +125 °C operation with full electrical specification compliance; qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1 for engine bay placement. |
| Dual-Byte Write Architecture | BHE and BLE inputs allow independent 8-bit writes to upper/lower data bytes; eliminates software overhead of read-modify-write for partial updates. |
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC to 15 mA (max) when CE is HIGH and inputs are stable; simplifies power management in battery-sensitive telematics modules. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Direct interface with 3.3 V microcontrollers (e.g., Infineon TC2xx, NXP S32K) without level-shifting circuitry; lowers BOM count and layout complexity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed automotive SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61WV25616EDBLL-20BLI | 20 ns tAA, but rated only to +85 °C (Industrial grade); no AEC-Q100 qualification; uses 48-ball FBGA only. | Limited to cabin electronics (infotainment, cluster), not under-hood use; lacks automotive reliability testing. | Select only for cost-sensitive non-safety applications where ambient stays below 85 °C. |
| MT45W8MW16BGX-20D:J | 20 ns tAA, +105 °C max operating temperature; JEDEC-standard LPDDR2 interface, not parallel SRAM; requires controller-side protocol handling. | Requires DDR PHY and command scheduler; unsuitable for simple microcontroller parallel bus interfaces. | Choose only when migrating to DDR-based memory subsystems with compatible SoC support. |

FAQ
Is CY7C1041CV33-20VXE pin-compatible with CY7C1041BNV33?
Yes, CY7C1041CV33-20VXE is pin- and function-compatible with CY7C1041BNV33 per the datasheet's Feature section. Both share identical 44-pin SOJ/TSOP II pinouts, address/data/control signal assignments, and byte-enable logic. However, the CV33 variant adds Automotive-E qualification (–40 °C to +125 °C) and tighter ISB2 standby current specs, while the BNV33 is commercial-grade.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for continuous read/write cycling?
The CY7C1041CV33-20VXE supports a maximum read/write cycle time (tRC) of 20 ns, corresponding to 50 MHz maximum sustained operation. This assumes valid setup/hold timing for address, CE, OE, WE, and BHE/BLE signals per the switching characteristics table on page 7 of the datasheet.
Does this SRAM require an external refresh controller?
No. The CY7C1041CV33-20VXE is a static RAM (SRAM) and contains no capacitive storage cells; it retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied and does not require periodic refresh cycles. This eliminates refresh overhead and timing uncertainty present in DRAM-based systems.
Can BHE and BLE be asserted simultaneously for full 16-bit writes?
Yes. Asserting both BHE and BLE LOW while CE and WE are LOW enables simultaneous writing of 16-bit data across I/O0–I/O15. The device's internal logic routes the full data bus to the selected memory location without conflict, supporting native 16-bit word writes in microcontroller systems.
