Product details
Overview
CY7C1399BL-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 50 µA. It serves as low-voltage cache memory in embedded controllers and industrial communication modules requiring fast, reliable nonvolatile data retention during brief power interruptions.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1399BL-12ZXCT datasheet, CY7C1399BL-12ZXCT pinout, CY7C1399BL-12ZXCT application, or CY7C1399BL-12ZXCT equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, SOJ/TSOP package mapping, functional pin roles, real-world use cases in cache subsystems, and validated drop-in alternatives with documented electrical and timing differences.
Technical Context
The CY7C1399BL-12ZXCT implements a 32K × 8 array using low-power alpha-immune 6T SRAM cells, supporting TTL- and CMOS-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and three-state bidirectional I/O drivers. Its dual enable architecture-active-low Chip Enable (CE) and Output Enable (OE)-enables seamless memory expansion without external gating logic.
Power management is handled via automatic CE-driven power-down: when CE is HIGH, the device enters standby mode drawing only 50 µA (CMOS input condition), achieving >95% power reduction versus active operation. Write control is strictly governed by WE polarity and overlap timing with CE, with write cycle time fixed at 12 ns and tSD = 7 ns for data setup.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32,768 words × 8 bits - supports byte-wide data bus interfacing without multiplexing or external width conversion. |
| Access Time | 12 ns - enables direct interface with 80 MHz microcontrollers (e.g., ARM7TDMI, ColdFire) without wait states. |
| VCC Supply | 3.3 V ±300 mV - compatible with standard LDO-regulated 3.3 V rails; no level-shifting required for 3.3 V logic families. |
| Active Current | 55 mA max - corresponds to ~181 mW typical active power, suitable for thermally constrained industrial PCB layouts. |
| Standby Current | 50 µA (ISB2, CMOS inputs) - allows battery-backed operation for >1 year on a single CR2032 cell in low-duty-cycle monitoring nodes. |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - maintains stored data during brown-out conditions down to 2.0 V, critical for fail-safe logging. |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (Z28) - surface-mount footprint with 0.5 mm pitch; compatible with standard reflow profiles and AOI inspection. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP Type I), 8.8 mm × 10.2 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, RoHS-compliant (Pb-free).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767; latched internally on CE/WE transitions; no external latch required. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Three-state CMOS I/O pins; high-impedance when CE HIGH or OE HIGH; drive strength supports 4 mA sink / 2 mA source. |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary selection signal; initiates automatic power-down when HIGH; controls output Z-state and internal array biasing. |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Enables read data onto I/O lines only when CE is also LOW; decouples output timing from address changes. |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Controls write initiation; requires overlap with CE LOW; rising edge defines write end for hold timing reference. |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3 V core supply; bypass capacitor (0.1 µF ceramic) required within 5 mm of pin for stable 12 ns timing. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Dedicated ground pin (Pin 16); must be connected to solid ground plane to minimize noise coupling into sense amps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-power 6T SRAM cell | Alpha-particle immune design ensures <1 FIT error rate in industrial radiation environments (e.g., factory automation PLCs). |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC from 55 mA to 50 µA in <12 ns (tPD), eliminating need for external sleep controllers in portable HMI designs. |
| TTL/CMOS input compatibility | VIH = 2.2 V and VIL = 0.8 V allow direct connection to both 3.3 V FPGA I/O banks and legacy 5 V microcontrollers via resistor dividers. |
| Three-state output drivers | IOZ ≤ ±5 µA leakage ensures clean bus sharing across multiple SRAMs or mixed peripherals on shared 8-bit data paths. |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation validated per JEDEC JESD22-A108; supports deployment in motor drives and outdoor telecom cabinets. |

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-12MLI | 32K × 16 organization, 12 ns access, 3.3 V, 28-pin SOJ only - wider data bus but incompatible pinout and address mapping. | Requires PCB redesign for 16-bit data path; unsuitable for existing 8-bit bus systems without glue logic. | Select only if migrating to 16-bit architecture and board revision is feasible. |
| ON Semiconductor MC14LC5481DW | 32K × 8, 15 ns access, 3.3 V, 28-pin SOJ - slower timing, higher ISB (100 µA), no TSOP option. | Acceptable for non-critical buffering where 15 ns latency is tolerable; lacks TSOP for space-constrained designs. | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial controls where 3 ns speed penalty does not impact system throughput. |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-12MLI and MC14LC5481DW, the CY7C1399BL-12ZXCT uniquely offers 8-bit bus compatibility in TSOP packaging with 12 ns timing and 50 µA standby - making it the sole fit for space-constrained, latency-sensitive 8-bit embedded systems requiring industrial temperature support.

FAQ
Is CY7C1399BL-12ZXCT pin-compatible with CY7C1399B-12ZC?
Yes - both share identical 28-pin TSOP Type I (Z28) pinout, address/data/control signal mapping, and electrical timing. The "L" suffix denotes industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C), while the base part is commercial grade (0°C to +70°C); all other pin functions and drive characteristics are identical.
What is the minimum VCC required to retain data during power-down?
The device guarantees data retention down to VCC = 2.0 V, as specified in the Data Retention Characteristics table (Page 6). At this voltage, ICCDR remains ≤20 µA, enabling operation from backup capacitors or supercapacitors during brief outages without data loss.
Can CY7C1399BL-12ZXCT interface directly with a 5 V microcontroller?
No - its inputs tolerate up to VCC + 0.3 V (3.6 V max), so direct 5 V logic violates absolute maximum ratings. A level-shifter (e.g., TXB0108) or resistor-divider network is required to translate 5 V signals to ≤3.6 V before connecting to A0–A14, CE, OE, or WE pins.
Does the automatic power-down feature require external control signals?
No - power-down is fully autonomous and triggered solely by CE going HIGH. No additional control lines, clocks, or configuration registers are needed; the device transitions to 50 µA standby within 12 ns (tPD) of CE assertion, with no software or hardware overhead.
