Product details
Overview
CY7C1049B-15VC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 512K × 8 (4-Mbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, automatic CE-controlled power-down, and 2.0V data retention capability. It operates at 4.5–5.5V over 0°C to +70°C and is used in embedded controllers, industrial PLCs, and legacy telecom line cards requiring nonvolatile SRAM backup during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1049B-15VC datasheet, CY7C1049B-15VC pinout, CY7C1049B-15VC application, or CY7C1049B-15VC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read timing, ISB2 ≤ 8 mA CMOS standby current (Commercial), VCC = 4.5–5.5V operation, and SOJ-36 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C1049B-15VC implements a full asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent address decoding (A0–A18), three-state bidirectional I/O (I/O0–I/O7), and dual enable control via active-low CE and OE. Its internal voltage regulator steps 5V down to 3.3V for core logic, enabling stable operation despite VCC tolerance.
It supports three distinct read cycles (CE-controlled, OE-controlled, and combined) and three write cycles (CE-, WE-, or OE-assisted), with precise timing windows defined for tACE, tDOE, tSCE, and tSD. Data retention mode activates automatically when CE is deasserted and VCC ≥ 2.0V, drawing only 200 µA in Commercial L version.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 524,288 × 8 bits (4 Mbit); enables byte-wide data bus interfacing without external demux. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max; guarantees valid data on I/O pins within 15 ns of stable address and CE/OE assertion. |
| Operating Supply Current (ICC) | 220 mA max at fMAX; defines worst-case power delivery requirement for 5V rail design. |
| CMOS Standby Current (ISB2) | 8 mA max (Commercial); sets low-power idle budget when CE is HIGH and inputs are at rail. |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min; allows memory state preservation during brownout or controlled shutdown with minimal backup supply. |
| I/O Capacitance | 8 pF max per pin; constrains trace length and fanout in high-speed parallel bus routing. |
| Input Voltage Thresholds | VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max; ensures reliable TTL-level signal recognition without level-shifting. |
Pinout & Package
The CY7C1049B-15VC is housed in a 36-pin SOJ (Small Outline J-lead) package, 400-mil wide, with center power/ground pinout layout optimized for signal integrity and thermal dissipation in dense PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus; selects one of 524,288 locations; A0 is LSB, A18 is MSB. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tri-state I/O; driven during read, high-Z during write or deselect. |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary device select; enables internal logic and initiates automatic power-down when HIGH. |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls output drivers only; does not affect internal state or power mode. |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Gates write operation; must be LOW with CE LOW to store data from I/O bus. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +4.5V to +5.5V; powers both I/O buffers and regulated core logic (3.3V internally). |
| GND | Ground Reference | Two dedicated GND pins (pins 12 & 24); reduce ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 15 ns Access Time | Enables direct interface with 66 MHz CPU buses without wait states in legacy x86 or Z80 systems. |
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC to ≤8 mA (ISB2) when deselected-no external control logic required. |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains stored data with only 200 µA draw at 2.0V, supporting battery-backed hold during main power loss. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with 5V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
| SOJ-36 Pinout Stability | Center VCC/GND layout minimizes simultaneous switching noise and improves signal return path integrity. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Legacy Telecom Line Card Cache |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stores real-time I/O mapping and configuration tables in programmable logic controllers operating in harsh factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous byte-wide SRAM buffer between ARM7-based controller and fieldbus interface ASIC. Use Value: 15 ns tAA ensures deterministic response to fast scan-cycle interrupts; ISB2 ≤ 8 mA reduces thermal load in sealed enclosures. | Use Scenario: Caches protocol translation tables and call setup context in T1/E1 framing ICs deployed in central office switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile shadow RAM holding critical firmware parameters during hot-swap module replacement.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Executable memory extension with zero-wait-state access for Cortex-M3/M4 cores. Use Value: tRC = 15 ns aligns with 66 MHz bus timing; CE-controlled power-down cuts idle power by >95% vs. active mode. | Use Scenario: Holds intermediate pixel data during real-time ultrasound image reconstruction pipelines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port-accessible frame buffer segment synchronized to ADC sampling clock. Use Value: 8 pF I/O capacitance limits signal rise/fall times to <3 ns, preserving timing margin in 20+ MHz parallel video bus. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-15PCN | Same 512K×8 organization, 15 ns tAA, but uses 3.3V-only supply (3.0–3.6V); no 2.0V retention mode. | Requires separate 3.3V rail; unsuitable for brownout retention in 5V systems. | Select only if system already uses 3.3V logic and retention is handled externally. |
| IS61LV5128-15K | 5V-tolerant I/O, 15 ns tAA, but higher ISB2 (25 mA) and no integrated voltage regulator. | Higher standby current increases thermal load; lacks internal VCC regulation for core stability. | Prefer where board-level 3.3V regulation exists and retention is not required. |
Compared with AS6C4008-15PCN and IS61LV5128-15K, the CY7C1049B-15VC uniquely combines 5V operation, 2.0V data retention, and automatic CE power-down-making it irreplaceable in legacy 5V systems needing robust brownout resilience without redesign.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for reliable data retention?
The CY7C1049B-15VC guarantees data retention down to 2.0V on VCC, drawing only 200 µA in Commercial L version. Below 2.0V, data integrity is not assured-even with CE HIGH-and retention time becomes unpredictable. This 2.0V threshold is tested and specified under full temperature range (0°C to +70°C) with all inputs held at valid logic levels.
Does the device require an external power-down control signal?
No. The CY7C1049B-15VC implements fully automatic power-down when CE is HIGH-no external logic or timing signals needed. Internal circuitry detects CE deassertion and transitions core logic to low-current mode within tPD = 15 ns, reducing ICC to ≤8 mA (ISB2) while maintaining data.
Can this SRAM be used with a 3.3V microcontroller without level shifters?
No. Although the core logic runs at 3.3V internally, all I/O pins are TTL-compatible and require 5V signaling: VIH = 2.2V min, VOH = 2.4V min at IOH = –4 mA. Interfacing directly with 3.3V-only GPIO will cause marginal or failed reads; a 5V-tolerant buffer or level translator is required.
Is the SOJ-36 package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Per Cypress documentation (Rev. *A, Sept. 2002), the CY7C1049B-15VC was manufactured prior to RoHS enforcement and uses SnPb (tin-lead) solder finish. It is not RoHS-compliant. For new designs requiring compliance, consult Infineon's current-generation PSRAM or LPDDR alternatives with documented RoHS status.
