Product details
Overview
CY7C1366C-166AXC from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a 9-Mbit pipelined synchronous SRAM with 256K × 36 organization, designed for high-speed secondary cache in Pentium-class systems. It supports 166 MHz bus operation, delivers 3.5 ns clock-to-output timing, and features registered I/O, dual VDD/VDDQ supplies (3.3 V core / 2.5 V or 3.3 V I/O), and IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary scan - deployed in network line cards requiring deterministic burst access and depth-expansion without wait states.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1366C-166AXC datasheet, CY7C1366C-166AXC pinout, CY7C1366C-166AXC application, or CY7C1366C-166AXC equivalent, key selection criteria include pipelined deselect timing, byte-write granularity (BWA–BWD + BWE), burst mode control (ADSP/ADSC/ADV/MODE), and TQFP-100 package compatibility with CE1/CE2/CE3 chip enable architecture.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a two-bit synchronous burst counter, edge-triggered input/output registers, and pipelined enable logic that delays output buffer disable by one clock cycle during deselect - enabling seamless depth expansion across multiple devices. All address, data, and control inputs (except OE and ZZ) are registered on the rising edge of CLK.
The device supports both interleaved (Pentium-compatible) and linear burst sequences via the MODE pin, with address advancement controlled by ADV. Write operations are self-timed and support 1–4 byte widths using BWx and BWE, while GW enables full-word writes independent of byte-select state.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 9 Mbit (256K × 36 configuration) |
| Max Clock Frequency | 166 MHz - defines maximum sustained burst throughput in synchronous systems |
| Access Time (tCO) | 3.5 ns - guaranteed clock-to-output delay at 166 MHz, critical for timing closure in cache interfaces |
| VDD Supply Range | 3.3 V ±5% - core power domain; requires stable low-noise regulation for SRAM cell stability |
| VDDQ Supply Range | 2.5 V or 3.3 V - selectable I/O voltage supporting mixed-voltage system interfacing |
| Burst Support | Intel Pentium interleaved or linear sequences - determined by MODE pin sampling at power-up or reset |
| Power Dissipation (Active) | 180 mA max operating current - translates to ~594 mW at 3.3 V, guiding thermal layout for dense PCBs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 100-pin TQFP (14 × 20 × 1.4 mm), Pb-free, with three chip enables (CE1, CE2, CE3) and dedicated JTAG pins (TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLK | Synchronous clock input | Rising-edge-triggered master clock for all registered inputs/outputs and burst counter increment |
| ADSP / ADSC | Address strobe inputs | Asynchronous assertion initiates address capture; ADSP takes priority when both active - enables processor/controller coexistence |
| ADV | Burst advance control | Active-LOW signal that increments internal 2-bit counter to generate next burst address automatically |
| BWA–BWD + BWE | Byte write controls | Four independent byte enables + global byte write enable - supports partial-word writes without read-modify-write overhead |
| OE | Asynchronous output enable | Tristates DQ/DQP pins immediately when HIGH; masked only during first clock of read after deselect |
| ZZ | Asynchronous sleep mode | Active-HIGH entry into low-power retention mode; internal pull-down allows floating for normal operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Pipelined deselect logic | Delays output buffer disable by one clock cycle, eliminating wait states during depth expansion across multiple SRAMs |
| User-selectable burst mode | MODE pin selects Intel Pentium interleaved or linear burst sequence - no firmware or register programming required |
| Dual-supply I/O interface | VDDQ supports 2.5 V or 3.3 V operation - enables direct connection to either generation of microprocessor I/O banks |
| JTAG boundary scan | IEEE 1149.1-compliant test access port - provides board-level interconnect verification without physical probe access |
| Registered synchronous interface | All address/data/control inputs (except OE/ZZ) sampled on CLK rising edge - simplifies timing analysis and PCB routing |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous burst SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS7C3616A-166JCIN | 256K × 36, 166 MHz, but uses single 3.3 V supply (no VDDQ separation); no JTAG; no ZZ sleep mode | Lacks dual-voltage I/O and boundary scan - unsuitable for mixed-voltage or high-reliability test environments | Select only if system uses uniform 3.3 V I/O and JTAG testing is not required. |
| IS61WV25636BLL-166BLI | 256K × 36, 166 MHz, supports 2.5 V/3.3 V VDDQ, but lacks pipelined deselect and ADSP/ADSC dual-strobe architecture | No depth-expansion optimization - requires external wait-state insertion when stacking multiple devices | Prefer when simpler control logic suffices and multi-SRAM depth expansion is not implemented. |
Compared with AS7C3616A-166JCIN and IS61WV25636BLL-166BLI, CY7C1366C-166AXC uniquely combines pipelined deselect, dual-strobe addressing, and JTAG - making it the only choice for Pentium-compatible cache subsystems requiring zero-wait-state scalability and production testability.

FAQ
What is the function of the MODE pin on CY7C1366C-166AXC?
The MODE pin selects burst address sequence behavior at power-up or reset: LOW configures Intel Pentium interleaved burst order (0,2,4,6,1,3,5,7), HIGH selects linear order (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7). This setting is latched internally and remains active until next power cycle or hardware reset - no software register access is involved.
Can CY7C1366C-166AXC operate with only two chip enables?
No - the CY7C1366C-166AXC variant in 100-pin TQFP requires CE1 (active LOW), CE2 (active HIGH), and CE3 (active LOW) for full functionality. CE3 is bonded and functional in this package; omitting CE3 assertion violates timing specifications and may cause unpredictable address decoding or data corruption during depth expansion.
Is VDDQ required to be the same voltage as VDD?
No - VDDQ may be independently set to either 2.5 V or 3.3 V while VDD remains at 3.3 V ±5%. This allows interfacing with 2.5 V processor I/O banks without level shifters. However, VDDQ must be stable before VDD reaches 2.0 V during power-up, per the absolute maximum ratings table in Rev. *O datasheet.
Does the ZZ pin require an external pull-down resistor?
No - the ZZ pin has an internal pull-down resistor (typical 100 kΩ), so it may be left floating for normal operation (logic LOW). An external pull-down is unnecessary and could increase leakage current; only an external pull-up is needed if active-HIGH sleep mode must be asserted under system control.
