Product details
Overview
CY7C1399B-12ZXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Kbit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM operating at 3.3 V, featuring 12 ns access time, 55 mA max active current, and automatic CE-controlled power-down reducing standby current to 500 µA. It serves as low-voltage cache or buffer memory in embedded controllers and networking interface modules where deterministic timing and TTL/CMOS-compatible control signaling are required.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1399B-12ZXCT datasheet, CY7C1399B-12ZXCT pinout, CY7C1399B-12ZXCT application, or CY7C1399B-12ZXCT equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (28-pin TSOP Type I), confirmed pin functions, real-world timing behavior (tRC = 12 ns, tHZOE = 5 ns), and validated alternatives for SRAM replacement in industrial-grade 3.3V systems.
Technical Context
The CY7C1399B-12ZXCT implements a fully decoded 32K × 8 array with independent address, data, and control buses. Its dual-active-Low CE and OE enable hierarchical memory expansion, while WE controls read/write direction without requiring external latches or clocks.
It uses a low-power alpha-immune 6T cell architecture and supports two standby modes: ISB1 (5 mA, TTL input thresholds) and ISB2 (500 µA, CMOS input thresholds), triggered solely by CE high with no additional control signals needed.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32,768 words × 8 bits - matches standard byte-addressable bus interfaces without bit-width conversion logic |
| Access Time (tRC) | 12 ns - guarantees sub-83 MHz synchronous bus operation with setup/hold margin |
| VCC Supply | 3.3 V ± 300 mV - compatible with modern low-voltage FPGA and microcontroller I/O rails |
| Active Current (ICC) | 55 mA max - enables thermal design for dense PCB layouts with ≤1.8 W per device at full activity |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 500 µA - allows battery-backed retention in always-on industrial monitoring nodes |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - supports graceful degradation during brown-out conditions without data loss |
| Output Drive | IOH = –2.0 mA / IOL = 4.0 mA - directly interfaces with 3.3V LVTTL and LVCMOS inputs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP Type I), 8.8 mm × 10.2 mm body, 0.55 mm pitch, Pb-free (RoHS compliant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word decoding; no external address latch required |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit multiplexed data path with three-state outputs controlled by CE/OE/WE logic |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary selection signal; initiates automatic power-down when HIGH, independent of other controls |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Enables output drivers only when CE is LOW; prevents bus contention during write cycles |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Determines data direction: LOW = write, HIGH = read; overlaps with CE to define write window |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor placement critical due to 12 ns edge rates |
| GND | Ground Reference | Single ground pin; layout requires low-inductance return path to minimize switching noise |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC from 55 mA to 500 µA instantly on CE deassertion-no software or timing overhead |
| Low-Power 6T Cell | Immune to alpha particle-induced soft errors in industrial environments without added ECC logic |
| TTL/CMOS Input Compatibility | VIH = 2.2 V min / VIL = 0.8 V max ensures robust interfacing with mixed-voltage system controllers |
| Three-State Output Control | Simultaneous control via CE, OE, and WE eliminates need for external bus transceivers in multi-SRAM systems |
| Industrial Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C operation validated across full voltage and timing specs-no derating required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS61LV25616AL-12TLI | 3.3V, 256K × 16 organization, 12 ns, 32-pin TSOP; wider data bus, higher density per pin count | Requires bus-width adaptation (16-bit vs. 8-bit); better suited for memory-constrained MCU designs with parallel external memory interfaces | Select when system bus width is 16-bit and board space is constrained; verify address/data multiplexing compatibility |
| ON Semiconductor MC14LC5481DW | 5V-only, 64K × 8, 15 ns, SOIC-28; incompatible supply and slower timing | Legacy 5V systems only; not drop-in replaceable due to voltage and speed mismatch | Consider only for backward-compatible repairs in discontinued 5V industrial hardware; not recommended for new designs |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-12TLI and MC14LC5481DW, the CY7C1399B-12ZXCT offers native 8-bit bus alignment, lower active power (55 mA vs. ≥70 mA), and guaranteed industrial temperature support without derating-making it optimal for compact, low-power, 3.3V embedded buffers.

FAQ
Is CY7C1399B-12ZXCT pin-compatible with CY7C1399B-12VC?
Yes-both share identical 28-pin TSOP Type I (Z28) and SOJ (V21) footprints and pinouts. The -12ZXCT variant is the Pb-free, industrial-temperature version of the same die; all signal assignments, power, and ground pins match exactly. No PCB redesign is needed when migrating from commercial to industrial grade.
Does CY7C1399B-12ZXCT require an external clock signal?
No-it is a fully asynchronous SRAM with no clock input. All operations are controlled by edge-triggered CE, OE, and WE signals. Timing is governed solely by propagation delays (e.g., tRC = 12 ns, tAA = 12 ns); no clock tree or synchronization logic is required for integration.
What is the maximum data retention voltage for CY7C1399B-12ZXCT?
The minimum VCC for guaranteed data retention is 2.0 V, as specified in the Data Retention Characteristics table. At this voltage, ICCDR remains ≤20 µA across the industrial temperature range, enabling battery-assisted hold functionality during main supply interruption.
Can CY7C1399B-12ZXCT be used with 5V-tolerant microcontrollers?
Yes-its inputs accept VIH up to VCC + 0.3 V (3.6 V max) and VIL down to –0.3 V, making it safe for direct connection to 5V-tolerant GPIOs configured for 3.3V logic levels. However, outputs swing only to 2.4 V VOH (at IOH = –2 mA), so level-shifting may be needed for strict 5V input thresholds.
