Product details
Overview
CY7C1049BL-17VC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 512K × 8 (4-Mbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 17 ns maximum 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 non-volatile SRAM hold during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1049BL-17VC datasheet, CY7C1049BL-17VC pinout, CY7C1049BL-17VC application, or CY7C1049BL-17VC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 17 ns read timing, ISB2 ≤ 0.5 mA CMOS standby current, VDR = 2.0V retention voltage, and SOJ-36 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C1049BL-17VC implements a full asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent address decoding for 524,288 × 8-bit storage, using three-state bidirectional I/O drivers and dual enable control (CE# and OE#) for seamless memory expansion. Its internal voltage regulator steps 5V down to 3.3V for core logic, enabling stable operation across supply variation.
Power management is handled via automatic CE#-driven transition into low-power retention mode (ISB2 = 0.5 mA max), with data preserved at VCC = 2.0V. Input thresholds meet TTL levels (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.3V), and output drive complies with IOH = –4.0 mA / IOL = 8.0 mA specifications under worst-case conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 512K × 8 (4,194,304 bits), enabling byte-wide data bus interfacing without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 17 ns max - defines minimum clock-to-data latency in synchronous systems or maximum bus cycle rate in asynchronous microprocessor interfaces |
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.5V–5.5V - compatible with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy industrial power domains |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 0.5 mA max (CMOS inputs) - enables ultra-low-power retention in battery-backed applications such as real-time clock buffers |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - guarantees data integrity during brownout or controlled shutdown without external backup capacitors |
| Input Capacitance | 8 pF - limits loading on address/data buses, supporting reliable signal integrity up to 20 MHz bus toggling |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems including point-of-sale terminals and instrumentation front-ends |
Pinout & Package
The CY7C1049BL-17VC is housed in a 36-pin SOJ (Small Outline J-lead) package, 400-mil wide, with center power/ground pinout configuration optimized for thermal dissipation and PCB layout symmetry.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A18 | Address Inputs | 19-bit address bus accepting 524,288 unique locations; A10 and A11 are NC per datasheet |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tristatable I/O lines shared for read/write; high-impedance when CE# HIGH, OE# HIGH, or WE# LOW |
| CE# | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary device select; initiates automatic power-down when HIGH and all inputs at valid logic levels |
| OE# | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls output driver enable only; does not affect internal power state or write functionality |
| WE# | Write Enable (active LOW) | Activates write path when CE# and WE# both LOW; latches data on rising edge of WE# or CE# |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5V supply input feeding internal 3.3V regulator; pins 18 and 33 are dedicated VCC connections |
| GND | Ground | Reference return for logic and I/O; pins 12 and 21 provide dual ground paths for noise reduction |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV5128AL-17TI | Same 512K×8 organization, 17 ns speed, but uses 3.3V-only supply (3.0–3.6V); no 2.0V retention | Requires separate 3.3V rail; unsuitable for brownout retention in 5V systems | Select only if system already has regulated 3.3V supply and retention is handled externally |
| CY7C1049B-17VC | Same pinout and timing, but higher ISB2 = 8 mA (vs. 0.5 mA) and no L-version low-power optimization | Lacks extended retention capability; consumes more power in standby | Use where cost is prioritized over power efficiency and retention is not required |
Compared with IS61LV5128AL-17TI and CY7C1049B-17VC, the CY7C1049BL-17VC uniquely delivers 2.0V data retention and 0.5 mA standby current in a drop-in 5V SOJ-36 footprint-making it the sole choice for legacy 5V systems needing robust brownout resilience without redesign.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required to retain data in CY7C1049BL-17VC?
The CY7C1049BL-17VC guarantees data retention down to exactly 2.0V (VDR = 2.0V) with ICCDR ≤ 200 µA under commercial L conditions. Below 2.0V, data loss is not characterized and must be avoided. This specification is verified per datasheet page 6, Table "Data Retention Characteristics", and applies only when CE# is held HIGH and all inputs are at valid logic levels.
Can CY7C1049BL-17VC be used with a 3.3V microcontroller interface?
No - the CY7C1049BL-17VC requires a 4.5–5.5V VCC supply and features TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.3V), but its outputs swing to 5V logic levels. Direct connection to 3.3V-only I/O ports risks damage or latch-up unless level-shifting circuitry (e.g., TXB0108 or discrete MOSFET translators) is implemented per Cypress Application Note AN1084.
How does the automatic power-down feature activate?
Automatic power-down activates when CE# is driven HIGH while all address and control inputs (A0–A18, OE#, WE#) remain at valid CMOS logic levels (≥ VCC – 0.3V or ≤ 0.3V). Under this condition, ISB2 drops to ≤ 0.5 mA. The feature does not require external sequencing - it is fully internal and occurs within tPD = 17 ns after CE# goes HIGH.
Are A10 and A11 pins functional or no-connect?
A10 and A11 are explicitly designated as No Connect (NC) pins per the "Pin Configuration" diagram on page 2 and the "Ordering Information" table on page 9 of datasheet 38-05169 Rev. *A. They must remain unconnected on PCB layout; routing traces or pulling them to any voltage violates the device's electrical specification and may cause undefined behavior or increased leakage.
