Product details
Overview
CY7C109BN-15ZXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 128K × 8 (131,072 × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, 5 V supply, TTL-compatible I/O, and automatic CE power-down. It operates in commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and supports high-impedance tri-state outputs during deselect, write, or OE disable - used in embedded microcontroller data buffers and legacy industrial controller memory expansion.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C109BN-15ZXC datasheet, CY7C109BN-15ZXC pinout, CY7C109BN-15ZXC application, or CY7C109BN-15ZXC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read timing, ISB2 = 10 mA CMOS standby current, VCC = 5 V ±10%, and TSOP I (8×20 mm) Pb-free package compatibility with board-level space constraints and thermal management requirements.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a full asynchronous interface with dual chip enables (CE1 active-low, CE2 active-high), separate write enable (WE), and output enable (OE), enabling flexible memory banking and interleaved access in multi-chip systems. Its 512 × 256 × 8 memory array uses CMOS sense amplifiers and input buffers for stable operation across voltage and temperature.
Power management is handled via automatic CE-driven power-down: when CE1 is high or CE2 is low, ICC drops to ISB2 = 10 mA (CMOS mode) or ISB1 = 30 mA (TTL mode); data retention at 2.0 V is guaranteed with tCDR = 0 ns and tR = 200 µs recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 131,072 words × 8 bits - provides 128 KB byte-addressable storage without external data bus widening |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max - determines minimum clock cycle for CPU or DMA read operations in real-time control loops |
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5 V logic families and eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 mA max at VCC = 5 V, CMOS inputs - enables low-power sleep modes in battery-backed systems |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V - allows memory contents to persist during brown-out or controlled power-down sequences |
| Output Drive | TTL-compatible: VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V @ 8 mA - ensures direct interfacing with 74LS/74HC peripherals |
| Package | 32-pin TSOP Type I (8×20 mm), Pb-free - supports surface-mount reflow assembly and meets RoHS compliance requirements |
Pinout & Package
The CY7C109BN-15ZXC is housed in a 32-pin Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP Type I), 8 mm × 20 mm body, with gull-wing leads and lead pitch of 0.5 mm. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or notch on the top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A16 | Address Inputs | 17-bit address bus supporting full 131,072-word decoding; A16 is MSB for linear addressing |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tri-state I/O lines shared for read and write; high-impedance when CE1 HIGH, CE2 LOW, OE HIGH, or WE LOW |
| CE1 | Active-Low Chip Enable | Primary selection signal; device enters standby if CE1 is HIGH regardless of CE2 state |
| CE2 | Active-High Chip Enable | Secondary enable; both CE1 LOW and CE2 HIGH required for active operation |
| OE | Active-Low Output Enable | Controls output drivers only; does not affect internal memory state or power mode |
| WE | Active-Low Write Enable | Initiates write cycle when CE1 LOW and CE2 HIGH; latches data on I/O0–I/O7 into addressed location |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor placement near this pin is critical for noise immunity |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground; must be connected to low-impedance PCB plane to minimize switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual CE architecture (CE1/CE2) | Enables seamless memory banking and hierarchical decode in multi-SRAM systems without external logic |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 mA (CMOS) or 30 mA (TTL) without requiring external control signals or sequencing |
| 2.0 V data retention | Preserves memory contents during main supply interruption, supporting graceful shutdown and fast resume |
| TTL-compatible I/O levels | Eliminates need for bus transceivers when interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and peripheral ICs |
| Tri-state output control | Prevents bus contention during read/write transitions and supports shared data bus architectures |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS61LV102416L-15NLI | 128K × 16 organization, 3.3 V supply, 15 ns access, 44-pin TSOP II | Requires data bus width adaptation (16-bit vs. 8-bit) and voltage translation for 5 V systems | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and needing wider data path; not drop-in compatible |
| Cypress CY7C109BN-15VC | Same 128K × 8, 15 ns, 5 V specs but in 32-pin 400-mil SOJ package (not Pb-free) | SOJ footprint incompatible with TSOP layout; requires PCB redesign and different reflow profile | Choose only for through-hole prototyping or legacy SOJ-based designs where Pb-free is not mandated |
Compared with IS61LV102416L-15NLI and CY7C109BN-15VC, the CY7C109BN-15ZXC uniquely combines 5 V TTL compatibility, Pb-free TSOP I packaging, and exact 128K × 8 byte-width alignment - making it the sole option for RoHS-compliant upgrades of existing 5 V embedded systems without board revision.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY7C109BN-15ZXC?
The CY7C109BN-15ZXC is specified for commercial operation from 0°C to +70°C. It is not rated for industrial (–40°C to +85°C) use; the industrial-grade variant is CY7C109BN-15VI, which uses the same SOJ package but differs in screening and qualification testing.
Does CY7C109BN-15ZXC support battery backup operation?
Yes - it guarantees data retention at VCC = 2.0 V with CE1 HIGH or CE2 LOW, enabling use with backup batteries or supercapacitors. Retention current is 150 µA max, and recovery time after power restoration is 200 µs, allowing rapid system restart without memory reload.
Can CY7C109BN-15ZXC be used with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
No - its inputs require VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V under 5 V operation, and outputs drive VOH ≥ 2.4 V only when loaded at –4 mA. Direct interface with 3.3 V logic risks marginal noise margins and violates absolute maximum ratings; level-shifting circuitry is required.
Is the TSOP I package of CY7C109BN-15ZXC RoHS compliant?
Yes - the "ZXC" suffix explicitly denotes Pb-free TSOP I packaging per JEDEC standard MO-153, with lead finish of matte tin and full compliance to EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS.
