Product details
Overview
CY7C1399BN-12VXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM operating at 3.3 V, featuring 12 ns access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and automatic CE-controlled power-down mode reducing standby current to 500 µA. It delivers low active power (180 mW max) using alpha-immune 6T cell technology and supports cache memory in embedded controllers and network interface cards.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C1399BN-12VXCT datasheet, CY7C1399BN-12VXCT pinout, CY7C1399BN-12VXCT application, or CY7C1399BN-12VXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include TTL/CMOS-compatible control timing (tACE = 12 ns, tDOE = 5 ns), tristate I/O with high-impedance isolation during deselect, and Pb-free SOJ package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C1399BN-12VXCT implements a fully asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent Chip Enable (CE), Output Enable (OE), and Write Enable (WE) controls. Its 32K × 8 organization uses a 15-bit address bus (A0–A14) and 8-bit bidirectional I/O (I/O0–I/O7), enabling direct byte-level read/write without external latching.
Power management is handled via dual-mode standby: ISB1 (5 mA, TTL input thresholds) and ISB2 (500 µA, CMOS input thresholds), triggered automatically when CE is HIGH and inputs are stable. The device maintains data retention down to 2.0 V VCC with ICCDR ≤ 20 µA, supporting low-voltage hold modes in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 256 Kbit (32,768 × 8), enabling compact buffer storage for 8-bit microcontrollers without external multiplexing |
| Access Time | 12 ns maximum - meets timing budget for 80 MHz CPU interfaces with zero wait states |
| VCC Supply | 3.3 V ±300 mV - compatible with standard LVTTL and LVCMOS I/O domains |
| Standby Current | 500 µA max (ISB2, industrial temp) - enables >1-year battery life in maintenance-free backup SRAM applications |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control cabinets and automotive-A ambient environments |
| I/O Drive | IOH = –2.0 mA / IOL = 4.0 mA - sufficient to drive 10 LVTTL loads or 20 cm PCB traces without termination |
| Data Retention VCC | 2.0 V minimum - allows graceful shutdown and resume in brown-out conditions |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Plastic SOJ (300-mil width), Pb-free, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit unidirectional address bus selecting one of 32,768 memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tristate I/O lines shared for read data output and write data input |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary chip select; initiates automatic power-down when HIGH and all inputs stable |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Enables data output drivers only when CE is also LOW; no effect during write cycles |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Controls direction of I/O bus: LOW enables write, HIGH enables read (with OE LOW) |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3 V core supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin per layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Dedicated ground pin (Pin 14); must be connected to low-impedance plane for signal integrity |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by CY7C1399BN-12VXCT?
The CY7C1399BN-12VXCT is an asynchronous SRAM and does not use a clock signal. Its performance is defined by access time (12 ns) and cycle time (12 ns), allowing reliable operation with CPU buses running up to 83 MHz (1/12 ns) without wait states when control timing margins are met.
Does CY7C1399BN-12VXCT support battery backup operation?
Yes - the device retains data at VCC ≥ 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 20 µA, enabling integration into battery-backed SRAM circuits. External circuitry must hold VCC above 2.0 V during main power loss; no internal battery switch or monitoring is provided.
Can CY7C1399BN-12VXCT be used with 5 V tolerant microcontrollers?
No - it is strictly a 3.3 V-only device. Input voltages must remain within –0.5 V to VCC + 0.3 V (≤ 3.6 V). Direct connection to 5 V logic requires level-shifting on all address, control, and data lines to prevent damage and ensure valid VIH/VIL thresholds.
Is the SOJ package of CY7C1399BN-12VXCT RoHS-compliant?
Yes - the "X" suffix in the ordering code denotes Pb-free construction per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The 28-pin SOJ package uses matte tin lead finish and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) for standard SMT assembly.
