Product details
Overview
CY7C1049B-17VC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 512K × 8 (4 Mb) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 17 ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It operates at 4.5–5.5 V over 0°C to +70°C, supports easy memory expansion via CE/OE/WE control, and delivers 2.75 mW max CMOS standby power in Commercial L version - used in legacy industrial controllers, telecom line cards, and FPGA configuration buffers.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1049B-17VC datasheet, CY7C1049B-17VC pinout, CY7C1049B-17VC application, or CY7C1049B-17VC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 17 ns read timing, ISB2 = 0.5 mA low-power retention mode, SOJ-36 package compatibility, and CE/OE/WE three-state bus interface behavior under mixed-voltage system constraints.
Technical Context
The CY7C1049B-17VC implements a full asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent address decoding (A0–A18), bidirectional 8-bit I/O bus (I/O0–I/O7), and three active-Low control signals: CE, OE, and WE. Its internal voltage regulator steps 5 V down to 3.3 V for core logic, enabling stable operation despite VCC tolerance.
Power management relies on CE-driven automatic power-down: when CE is HIGH, ICC drops to ISB2 = 0.5 mA (Com'l L), and data retention is guaranteed at VCC = 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 200 µA. Output impedance transitions are tightly specified - tHZOE = 7 ns and tLZCE = 3 ns - ensuring clean bus sharing in multi-SRAM systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 524,288 × 8 bits - supports byte-wide addressing without external data multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 17 ns max - defines minimum clock-to-data latency in synchronous bus interfaces |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL logic rails and legacy backplanes |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 0.5 mA max (Commercial L) - enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep cycles |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - allows battery-backed retention using single-cell LiFePO₄ or coin cell |
| Output Drive Strength | IOH = –4.0 mA / IOL = 8.0 mA - meets TTL fan-out requirements without buffer amplification |
| Input Capacitance | 8 pF max - limits trace loading in high-density PCB layouts with >100 MHz address strobes |
Pinout & Package
The CY7C1049B-17VC is housed in a 36-pin SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead) package, 400-mil wide, with center power/ground pinout (VCC and GND pins symmetrically placed at Pins 18/19 and 35/36).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus supporting full 512K-word decode; no internal latching |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Three-state CMOS I/Os; high-impedance when CE HIGH, OE HIGH, or WE LOW |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary device select; triggers automatic power-down and output disable on HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls output drivers only; does not affect internal power state |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Initiates write cycle when CE also LOW; disables outputs during write |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Dual VCC (Pins 18, 19) and dual GND (Pins 35, 36) reduce supply noise and improve signal integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 17 ns access time with 17 ns cycle time | Enables direct interfacing with 50 MHz microcontrollers without wait states |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC from 195 mA active to 0.5 mA standby - cuts system power by >99% during idle |
| 2.0 V data retention | Permits use of ultra-low-quiescent backup supplies (e.g., TPS60403) in battery-critical designs |
| TTL-compatible inputs/outputs | Eliminates level-shifter requirements in mixed-logic 5 V systems with 3.3 V peripherals |
| SOJ-36 center-power pinout | Improves thermal dissipation and reduces ground bounce vs. corner-pin SOJ variants |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Telecom Line Card Frame Buffer |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-latency working memory for ARM7TDMI-based image pipeline, synchronized to 10 MHz pixel clock. Use Value: tDOE = 8 ns ensures valid data before next pixel sample; 8 pF input capacitance prevents skew across 19-bit address bus at 20 MHz. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed parallel SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV5128AL-17TI | 3.3 V only supply; tAA = 17 ns; 32-pin SOJ; no 2.0 V retention | Requires level-shifting in 5 V systems; unsuitable for battery-retained backup | Select if migrating to 3.3 V-only design with tighter board space constraints |
| AS6C4008-17PCN | 5 V supply; tAA = 17 ns; 32-pin SOJ; ISB = 2 µA (lower than CY7C1049B-17VC's 0.5 mA) | Lower standby current but lacks internal voltage regulator - sensitive to VCC ripple | Prefer for ultra-low-power battery-operated devices where VCC regulation is externally managed |
Compared with IS61LV5128AL-17TI and AS6C4008-17PCN, the CY7C1049B-17VC uniquely combines 5 V tolerance, integrated 5 V→3.3 V regulation, and 2.0 V data retention - making it irreplaceable in legacy 5 V systems requiring robust backup operation without redesigning power architecture.

FAQ
Is CY7C1049B-17VC pin-compatible with CY7C1049B-15VC?
Yes - both share identical SOJ-36 pinout, address/data/control signal mapping, and electrical interface. The only difference is timing: tAA/tRC is 15 ns for -15VC versus 17 ns for -17VC. Systems designed for -15VC will operate reliably with -17VC, though maximum bus frequency must be reduced from ~66 MHz to ~58 MHz.
Does CY7C1049B-17VC require an external voltage regulator?
No - it integrates an internal voltage regulator that converts 5 V VCC to 3.3 V for core logic. This eliminates need for external regulators or LDOs, simplifies layout, and improves immunity to VCC ripple. However, VCC must remain within 4.5–5.5 V; operation outside this range may cause data corruption or latch-up.
Can CY7C1049B-17VC retain data at 2.0 V while powered only by a backup battery?
Yes - its data retention specification guarantees reliable storage at VCC = 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 200 µA (Commercial L grade). This allows direct connection to a single CR2032 (3 V) or LiFePO₄ cell (3.2 V nominal) through a 1.2 V LDO or resistor divider, enabling >10-year retention in unpowered systems.
What is the meaning of "L" suffix in CY7C1049BL-17VC?
The "L" denotes the low-power Commercial grade variant, characterized by ISB2 = 0.5 mA max (vs. 8 mA for standard Commercial), achieved via optimized CMOS process and deeper sleep transistor thresholds. It retains identical timing, voltage, and packaging - only standby current differs - making it ideal for battery-buffered applications.
