Product details
Overview
CY7C185-15VC from Cypress Semiconductor is an 8K × 8 (64 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, dual chip enables (CE1 active-low, CE2 active-high), and automatic power-down reducing standby current to 15 mA. It operates at 5V ±10% over industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and is packaged in a 28-pin molded SOJ for embedded memory expansion in legacy control systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C185-15VC datasheet, CY7C185-15VC pinout, CY7C185-15VC application, or CY7C185-15VC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read timing, ISB2 = 15 mA low-power deselected state, CE1/CE2/OE logic flexibility for banked memory decoding, and SOJ-28 mechanical compatibility with board-level space constraints.
Technical Context
The CY7C185-15VC implements a synchronous, non-volatile-independent SRAM array with full address decoding (A0–A12), bidirectional 8-bit data bus (I/O0–I/O7), and three-state output drivers controlled by OE. Its dual CE architecture allows hierarchical memory mapping without external gating logic.
Write operation requires simultaneous CE1 = LOW, CE2 = HIGH, and WE = LOW; read requires CE1 = LOW, CE2 = HIGH, OE = LOW, and WE = HIGH. Power-down activates when either CE1 ≥ VIH or CE2 ≤ VIL, dropping ICC from 130 mA to 15 mA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 8,192 × 8 bits - supports byte-wide data transfers without bit-slicing logic |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns - enables direct interface with 66 MHz Z80/8086-class processors |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no LDO required |
| Active Current (ICC) | 130 mA max - defines PCB trace width and local decoupling (≥10 µF ceramic + bulk) |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 15 mA max - enables low-quiescent power in sleep-mode microcontroller systems |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-level - eliminates level-shifter need when interfacing with 74LS/74HC peripherals |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation and motor control environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin molded SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead), 300-mil width, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant. Lead finish: matte tin, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus supporting full 8K-word decoding; no external address latching needed |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Three-state CMOS I/Os; high-impedance when CE1=HIGH, CE2=LOW, or OE=HIGH |
| CE1 | Active-Low Chip Enable | Primary selection signal; asserts internal power-up and enables outputs when LOW |
| CE2 | Active-High Chip Enable | Secondary enable; must be HIGH for any operation; enables bank-select logic sharing |
| OE | Active-Low Output Enable | Controls output driver state independently of CE; allows read-modify-write cycles |
| WE | Active-Low Write Enable | Directly gates write path; LOW with CE1/CE2 asserted initiates memory write |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; must connect to low-impedance plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fast tDOE = 8 ns | Minimizes read latency in burst-access microcontroller systems using OE-controlled page reads |
| Automatic power-down (70% reduction) | Drops ICC from 130 mA to 15 mA when deselected-critical for battery-backed real-time clocks |
| Three-state outputs with independent OE | Enables shared data bus architectures without external bus transceivers |
| Dual CE architecture (CE1/CE2) | Supports 2:1 memory banking with single gate logic-reduces FPGA I/O count in custom controllers |
| Die coat for alpha immunity | Prevents soft errors in high-reliability industrial settings near radiation sources |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8K×8 SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C8008-15TIN | Lower ICC (100 mA) but higher tAA (15 ns same); no CE2 pin - single CE only | Requires redesign of CE logic; lacks hierarchical bank select capability | Select if board space permits SOIC-28 and CE2 functionality is unused |
| IS61LV5128-15KLI | 3.3 V supply only; 15 ns tAA; LVCMOS I/O - not TTL-compatible | Needs level shifters for 5 V systems; incompatible with legacy 5 V bus designs | Select only for new 3.3 V designs where voltage scaling justifies redesign cost |
Compared with AS6C8008-15TIN and IS61LV5128-15KLI, the CY7C185-15VC uniquely retains 5 V TTL compatibility, dual CE decoding, and industrial temperature support in a single SOJ-28 package-making it irreplaceable in field-upgraded legacy control hardware.

FAQ
Is CY7C185-15VC pin-compatible with CY7C185-15PC?
Yes-both share identical 28-pin SOJ (CY7C185-15VC) and DIP (CY7C185-15PC) footprints with matching pin functions and electrical behavior. The only difference is package type and temperature grade: VC is industrial SOJ, PC is commercial DIP. Mechanical mounting and PCB layout are interchangeable at the footprint level.
Does CY7C185-15VC require external pull-up resistors on CE2 or OE?
No-CE2 and OE have TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and do not require external pull-ups when driven directly by 5 V logic. Internal input load current is ±5 µA, so standard 74LS/74HC outputs drive them reliably without added components.
Can CY7C185-15VC operate at 4.5 V supply?
Yes-the device is specified for 5.0 V ±10%, meaning 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation is fully guaranteed per datasheet Electrical Characteristics. At 4.5 V, tAA remains 15 ns (min), and ISB2 stays at 15 mA max, ensuring full functionality across the entire voltage range.
What is the maximum capacitive load supported on I/O pins?
The CY7C185-15VC drives up to 30 pF load capacitance while maintaining specified tAA = 15 ns and tDOE = 8 ns, as verified in AC Test Loads (Figure 4a). Exceeding 30 pF increases propagation delay linearly-e.g., 60 pF adds ~12 ns to tAA-so keep trace lengths short and avoid daisy-chaining more than two devices per bus segment.
