Product details
Overview
CY7C1041GN-10VXI from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 4-Mbit (256K × 16) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 10 ns access time, 1.65–2.2 V / 2.2–3.6 V / 4.5–5.5 V triple-voltage operation, and 48-ball VFBGA (6 × 8 × 1.0 mm) packaging. It supports byte-level writes via BHE/ BLE control, TTL-compatible I/Os, and 1.0-V data retention for low-power hold mode - deployed in industrial embedded controllers requiring deterministic memory access without refresh overhead.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1041GN-10VXI datasheet, CY7C1041GN-10VXI pinout, CY7C1041GN-10VXI application, or CY7C1041GN-10VXI equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 10 ns tAA timing at 5 V, dual-byte enable architecture, industrial-grade –40°C to +85°C operation, and VFBGA package thermal resistance (θJA = 31.35°C/W), critical for thermally constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a fully decoded 18-bit address bus (A0–A17) driving a 256K-word × 16-bit memory array with independent high- and low-byte write enables (BHE, BLE). Read/write cycles are controlled by CE, OE, and WE with full TTL-compatible input thresholds and output drive strength across all supported VCC ranges.
It features two standby current modes: ISB1 (15 mA max, TTL inputs) and ISB2 (6 mA typical, CMOS inputs), plus 1.0-V data retention capability enabling ultra-low-power hold states. The device lacks internal refresh logic, relying on external address stability during access - consistent with classic asynchronous SRAM architecture.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 4 Mbit (256K words × 16 bits) - provides 512 KB of fast, non-refreshing storage for real-time firmware buffers or register shadowing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 10 ns at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V - enables direct interfacing with legacy microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, Motorola 68K) running at ≤100 MHz bus clocks. |
| VCC Operating Ranges | 1.65–2.2 V, 2.2–3.6 V, and 4.5–5.5 V - supports mixed-voltage system integration without level shifters in industrial power domains. |
| Active Current (ICC) | 38 mA typical at f = 100 MHz - defines peak dynamic power draw during sustained burst reads/writes at maximum speed. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 6 mA typical with CMOS inputs - sets minimum quiescent power in CE-high sleep mode for battery-backed applications. |
| Data Retention Voltage | 1.0 V minimum - allows memory state preservation during brown-out or controlled power-down sequences without backup capacitors. |
| Package | 48-ball VFBGA (6 × 8 × 1.0 mm, BVXI grade) - delivers superior thermal performance (θJA = 31.35°C/W) vs. TSOP II alternatives in compact industrial modules. |
Pinout & Package
48-ball Very Thin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (VFBGA), 6 mm × 8 mm × 1.0 mm body, JEDEC MO-249 compliant, BVXI marking. Pinout validated per Figure 1 (Document 001-95413 Rev. *D, Page 4).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A17 | Address Inputs | 18-bit address bus selecting one of 256K memory locations; no internal latching - requires stable address during CE/OE/WE assertion. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Lower-Byte Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data path enabled only when BLE = LOW during read/write; high-impedance when deselected or BLE HIGH. |
| I/O8–I/O15 | Upper-Byte Data I/O | Bi-directional 8-bit data path enabled only when BHE = LOW; independent of BLE - enables true 8/16-bit flexible bus interfacing. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-LOW global device select; forces all I/Os into high-Z when HIGH, and enables internal logic only when LOW with valid WE/OE. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-LOW signal initiating write cycle; data latched on rising edge of WE while CE and address are stable and valid. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-LOW control for read operations; outputs driven only when OE = LOW, CE = LOW, and address valid - prevents bus contention. |
| BLE / BHE | Byte Low/High Enable | Independent active-LOW controls for lower/upper byte writes; permits partial-word updates without masking logic in host controller. |
| VCC / VSS | Power / Ground | Dual VCC pins (B3, E3) and dual VSS pins (C3, D4) provide low-inductance supply routing; decoupling required within 5 mm of each VCC ball. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Triple-Voltage Operation | Supports 1.65–2.2 V, 2.2–3.6 V, and 4.5–5.5 V rails - eliminates need for external voltage translators in multi-rail industrial systems. |
| Byte-Enable Architecture | Dedicated BHE/BLE pins allow independent 8-bit writes to upper/lower memory bytes - reduces host CPU overhead versus full-word masking. |
| 1.0-V Data Retention | Maintains stored data at VCC ≥ 1.0 V with ISB2 ≤ 6 mA - enables seamless transition to ultra-low-power hold mode during AC loss or scheduled shutdown. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH/VIL thresholds match legacy 5-V TTL logic families - ensures direct interface with older microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| VFBGA Thermal Performance | θJA = 31.35°C/W (vs. 68.85°C/W for TSOP II) - reduces junction temperature rise by >50% under same power dissipation, improving long-term reliability. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | Same density, 10 ns speed, but only 3.3 V operation (3.0–3.6 V); 44-pin TSOP II package; higher θJA (68.85°C/W). | Lacks multi-voltage support and VFBGA thermal advantage - suitable only for 3.3-V-only designs with less stringent thermal budgets. | Select if board already uses TSOP footprint and 3.3-V rail is fixed; avoid for mixed-voltage or thermally dense layouts. |
| ON Semiconductor MC14LC5481M10 | 5 V-only (4.5–5.5 V), 10 ns, 44-pin SOJ; ISB2 = 10 mA typical (vs. 6 mA); no 1.0-V retention mode. | No low-voltage operation or data retention below 2.2 V - incompatible with brown-out hold requirements. | Acceptable only for legacy 5-V systems where power-down retention is not required and SOJ rework is acceptable. |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and MC14LC5481M10, CY7C1041GN-10VXI uniquely combines triple-voltage compatibility, 1.0-V data retention, and VFBGA thermal efficiency - making it the sole choice for new industrial designs demanding voltage flexibility and thermal resilience.

FAQ
What voltage ranges does CY7C1041GN-10VXI support, and how are they selected?
CY7C1041GN-10VXI operates across three disjoint VCC ranges: 1.65–2.2 V, 2.2–3.6 V, and 4.5–5.5 V. No configuration pins or registers are involved - the device auto-adapts based solely on applied VCC voltage. Each range has distinct DC/AC specifications (e.g., ISB2 = 6 mA typical only in 4.5–5.5 V mode), and mixing voltages across pins is prohibited.
Does CY7C1041GN-10VXI require an external clock or refresh signal?
No. CY7C1041GN-10VXI is a fully asynchronous SRAM with no clock input. Memory access is controlled solely by CE, OE, WE, BHE, and BLE timing - all defined by setup/hold relationships relative to address and control edges. There is no refresh circuitry or periodic maintenance requirement.
How does the byte-enable functionality work during write operations?
BLE (active-LOW) enables writes only to I/O0–I/O7 (lower byte); BHE (active-LOW) enables writes only to I/O8–I/O15 (upper byte). Both may be asserted simultaneously for full 16-bit writes. When either is HIGH, its corresponding byte lines remain unchanged - enabling partial-word updates without host-side masking logic or read-modify-write cycles.
Can CY7C1041GN-10VXI retain data at 1.0 V while fully powered down?
Yes - at VCC ≥ 1.0 V and CE held HIGH, the device enters data retention mode with ISB2 ≤ 6 mA typical. This is not full power-down: VCC must remain applied, but the core array remains powered. True zero-VCC retention is not supported; external backup power or supercapacitor hold-up is required for complete power loss scenarios.
