Product details
Overview
CY7C1399B-15VC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256 Kbit (32K × 8) high-speed CMOS static RAM operating at 3.3 V, with 15 ns access time, 50 mA max operating current, and automatic CE-controlled power-down reducing standby current to 500 µA. It serves as low-voltage cache memory in embedded controllers and networking interface modules requiring fast random-access storage with deterministic timing.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1399B-15VC datasheet, CY7C1399B-15VC pinout, CY7C1399B-15VC application, or CY7C1399B-15VC equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL/CMOS-compatible control timing (tRC = 15 ns, tHZCE = 7 ns), SOJ-28 package compatibility, 3.3V-only supply operation, and automatic power-down behavior under CE deassertion.
Technical Context
The CY7C1399B-15VC implements a synchronous, address-decoded 32K × 8 SRAM array using alpha-immune 6T cells. Its dual-control architecture uses active-low CE and OE for hierarchical enablement, while WE governs write direction-enabling precise bus arbitration in multi-chip memory systems.
It supports three distinct operational modes: read (CE↓, OE↓, WE↑), write (CE↓, WE↓), and automatic power-down (CE↑), with output drivers entering high-impedance state during deselect or OE↑. Timing is specified with CL = 30 pF and input transition ≤3 ns, ensuring compatibility with 3.3V LVTTL logic families.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 Kbit (32,768 × 8) - provides byte-wide data path for microcontroller peripherals without external data-width conversion |
| Access Time | 15 ns - enables direct interfacing with 66 MHz system buses without wait states |
| VCC Supply | 3.3 V ±300 mV - requires single low-noise LDO, no level-shifting needed for 3.3V I/O domains |
| Operating Current | 50 mA max - limits thermal load in dense PCB layouts; compatible with 1W board-level power budgets |
| Standby Current | 500 µA (CMOS inputs) - sustains battery-backed retention in low-power sleep modes |
| Package | 28-pin SOJ (V21), 300-mil width - industry-standard footprint for legacy socketed memory designs |
| Input Voltage Range | –0.3 V to VCC + 0.3 V - ensures robust noise margin against ground bounce on shared address/data buses |
Pinout & Package
The CY7C1399B-15VC is housed in a 28-pin plastic SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead) package, 300 mil wide, with gull-wing leads suitable for wave or reflow soldering. Pin numbering follows standard JEDEC SOJ orientation (pin 1 marked by notch or dot).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32,767; latched internally on CE/WE transitions |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tristatable I/O lines; direction controlled by WE and OE states |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global select; initiates automatic power-down when HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; overrides WE to force read mode or high-Z |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; determines data flow direction when CE is asserted |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3 V primary supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin 16 |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; connected to pin 14 per SOJ pinout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC to 500 µA when CE is HIGH-eliminates need for external power-gating logic |
| Alpha-Immune 6T Cell | Ensures >10-year data retention under industrial temperature cycling without refresh |
| 3.3V-Only Operation | Removes requirement for dual-supply sequencing or voltage translators in modern low-voltage systems |
| SOJ & TSOP Packaging | SOJ-28 (V21) variant supports socket-based prototyping and field-replaceable memory modules |
| TTL/CMOS-Compatible Timing | tHZCE = 7 ns and tLZOE = 0 ns allow seamless integration with FPGA or ASIC memory controllers |

|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | 16-bit bus width (256K × 16), 15 ns access, 3.3V, TSOP-44 package | Requires bus-width adaptation; higher density but incompatible pinout and control timing margins | Select only when 16-bit data path and space-constrained layout justify redesign effort |
| MT48LC4M16A2P-6A:G | Synchronous SDRAM, 64 Mbit, 143 MHz clock, 3.3V, TSOP-54 | Requires clock, command, and refresh circuitry; not drop-in compatible for asynchronous interfaces | Choose only for bandwidth-intensive applications where burst reads outweigh control complexity |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI and MT48LC4M16A2P-6A:G, the CY7C1399B-15VC offers true asynchronous operation, minimal external logic, and proven reliability in long-lifecycle industrial deployments-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, fixed-function embedded memory roles.

FAQ
Does CY7C1399B-15VC support battery backup for data retention?
Yes-it retains data at VCC = 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤20 µA (commercial grade), enabling use with coin-cell backup circuits. The device enters data retention mode automatically when CE is deasserted and VCC remains ≥2.0 V, requiring no external control signals or firmware intervention.
Can CY7C1399B-15VC be operated at 2.5 V?
No-its absolute maximum rating allows VCC down to 3.0 V (±300 mV), and electrical specifications are guaranteed only at 3.3 V ±300 mV. Operation below 3.0 V violates datasheet conditions and may cause timing violations or data corruption.
What is the maximum capacitive load the CY7C1399B-15VC outputs can drive?
The outputs are characterized for CL = 30 pF in AC timing tests, and COUT is specified at 6 pF. Driving loads >30 pF risks violating tHZOE (6 ns) and tHZCE (7 ns) specifications; external bus transceivers are recommended for >50 pF traces or multi-drop configurations.
Is there a lead-free version of CY7C1399B-15VC?
Yes-the CY7C1399B-15VXC is the Pb-free variant in the same SOJ-28 (V21) package, with identical timing, voltage, and thermal specifications. It complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is marked with "VXC" suffix and Pb-free logo on the package body.
