Product details
Overview
CY7C109B-12ZXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 128K × 8 (131,072 words × 8-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, 5 V supply, TTL-compatible I/O, and automatic power-down when deselected. It supports memory expansion via dual chip enables (CE1 active-low, CE2 active-high), OE control, and tri-state I/O drivers - deployed in industrial embedded controllers requiring deterministic low-latency data storage.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C109B-12ZXCT datasheet, CY7C109B-12ZXCT pinout, CY7C109B-12ZXCT application, or CY7C109B-12ZXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 12 ns read timing, ISB2 ≤ 10 mA CMOS standby current, 2.0 V data retention capability, and compatibility with 32-pin TSOP Type I (Pb-free) packaging for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C109B-12ZXCT implements a full CMOS SRAM core with row/column decoding, sense amplifiers, and input/output buffers. Its dual CE architecture (CE1 active-low + CE2 active-high) enables hierarchical memory mapping without external logic, while OE and WE controls decouple read/write enable timing from chip selection.
Power management is handled through automatic CE-driven power-down: when CE1 is HIGH or CE2 is LOW, ICC drops to ≤10 mA (CMOS mode) or ≤2 mA (L version), and data retention is guaranteed down to VCC = 2.0 V with no clock or refresh required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 131,072 × 8 bits - provides 128 KB byte-addressable storage without interleaving or banking logic |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns - guarantees sub-83 MHz random read throughput in synchronous bus interfaces |
| VCC Supply | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS system rails and level-shifted address/data buses |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | ≤10 mA at VCC max - enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep without external power gating |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V - maintains stored contents during brown-out or controlled power-down sequences |
| Output Drive | TTL-compatible (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ IOL = 8 mA) - directly interfaces with 74LS/ALS logic without buffers |
| Package | 32-pin TSOP Type I, Pb-free - surface-mount footprint optimized for automated assembly and thermal relief in dense layouts |
Pinout & Package
Package: 32-pin Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP) Type I, 10.16 mm × 20.95 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, Pb-free termination.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word addressing; no internal latching - requires stable setup/hold relative to CE/OE |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit multiplexed input/output with tri-state control; high-impedance during deselect, write, or OE HIGH |
| CE1 | Chip Enable 1 | Active-low primary chip select; device enters power-down if HIGH, regardless of CE2 state |
| CE2 | Chip Enable 2 | Active-high secondary chip select; must be HIGH with CE1 LOW for normal operation; enables multi-chip decode trees |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output buffer; HIGH forces I/O pins to high-Z even during valid read cycles |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal initiating write; asserts write cycle only when CE1 = LOW and CE2 = HIGH |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; bypassing with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor near pin recommended for noise immunity |
| GND | Ground | Signal and power return reference; separate ground plane connection improves noise margin and timing stability |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 12 ns Access Time | Enables direct interface with 8051, Z80, and 68K-family microcontrollers running at ≤8 MHz without wait states |
| Dual Chip Enable Logic | Eliminates need for external AND/OR gates in multi-SRAM systems - CE1/CE2 allow 2:4 or 3:8 decode with single 74HC138 |
| Automatic Power-Down | Reduces system standby power by >97% vs. active mode (ICC = 90 mA → ISB2 = 10 mA) without software intervention |
| 2.0 V Data Retention | Permits safe power sequencing in mixed-voltage systems - memory retains content while core logic resets or reboots |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Direct connection to legacy microprocessor buses (e.g., Intel 8088, Motorola 68000) without level translators or series resistors |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffer | Legacy Microcontroller Cache |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C1008-12ZIN | Same 128K × 8 organization and 12 ns speed, but uses single active-low CE and lacks CE2; lower standby current (3 µA) but no 2.0 V retention | Requires redesign of chip-select logic; unsuitable for brown-out retention-critical systems | Select when ultra-low standby dominates over power-loss resilience and board space permits simplified decode |
| IS61LV1024-12ML | 128K × 8, 12 ns, 3.3 V core (with 5 V tolerant I/O); higher speed margin at 3.3 V but incompatible with pure 5 V systems | Needs level-shifting or regulator change; not drop-in for legacy 5 V designs | Choose for new 3.3 V platforms prioritizing lower power and future-proofing over backward compatibility |
Compared with AS6C1008-12ZIN and IS61LV1024-12ML, the CY7C109B-12ZXCT uniquely combines 5 V TTL compatibility, dual CE flexibility, and 2.0 V data retention - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial and automotive systems where voltage robustness and decode simplicity are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY7C109B-12ZXCT?
The CY7C109B-12ZXCT has a 12 ns access time (tAA), enabling reliable operation up to approximately 83 MHz in read cycles when interfaced with appropriate bus timing margins. It does not operate synchronously - maximum frequency depends on system-level setup/hold timing around CE, OE, and address stability, not an internal clock.
Does CY7C109B-12ZXCT require external refresh circuitry?
No. As a static RAM, the CY7C109B-12ZXCT retains data indefinitely as long as power is applied and VCC remains ≥2.0 V. It contains no dynamic cells or charge pumps and needs no refresh cycles, timers, or external support circuitry - unlike DRAM or pseudo-SRAM devices.
Can CY7C109B-12ZXCT be used with 3.3 V logic interfaces?
Its inputs are 5 V tolerant (VIH up to VCC + 0.3 V, VIL down to –0.3 V), but outputs swing to TTL levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) under 5 V supply. Direct connection to 3.3 V-only receivers risks overvoltage; use resistor dividers or level translators for safe interfacing with 3.3 V FPGAs or microcontrollers.
Is the TSOP package of CY7C109B-12ZXCT RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "X" suffix in ZXCT denotes Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) construction. The device meets JEDEC J-STD-609 Category 1 marking requirements and uses matte tin terminations on all leads, verified per Cypress's official product change notices and material declarations.
