Product details
Overview
CY7C185-25VC from Cypress Semiconductor is an 8K × 8 (64 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 25 ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, dual chip enables (CE1 active-low, CE2 active-high), and automatic power-down reducing standby current to 20 µA. It operates at 5V ±10% over industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and is used in legacy industrial controllers requiring deterministic, non-volatile-backed memory buffering.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C185-25VC datasheet, CY7C185-25VC pinout, CY7C185-25VC application, or CY7C185-25VC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 25 ns read timing, ISB1 = 20 mA automatic power-down current, CE1/CE2 enable logic compatibility with 80Cxx/808x bus architectures, and SOJ-28 package footprint constraints.
Technical Context
The CY7C185-25VC implements a synchronous, non-refreshing SRAM array organized as 8192 × 8 bits with full address decoding (A0–A12), three-state bidirectional I/Os (I/O0–I/O7), and independent control of output enable (OE) and write enable (WE). Its dual CE architecture supports hierarchical memory mapping in 16-bit data bus systems.
Power management relies on CE1 or CE2 assertion to trigger automatic power-down mode, cutting ICC from 100 mA (active) to 20 mA (ISB1) or 15 mA (ISB2). Input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output drive (IOH = –4 mA, IOL = 8 mA) are fully TTL-compatible for direct interfacing with 8086/8088 and Z80-based designs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 8K × 8 (65,536 bits), enabling byte-wide data access without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns max - defines minimum CPU wait-state requirement for zero-wait-state operation with 40 MHz 8086 derivatives |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL logic rails and legacy 5 V system power domains |
| Active Current (ICC) | 100 mA max - determines thermal load and decoupling capacitor sizing (≥10 µF ceramic + bulk) |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 20 mA max - enables low-power idle modes in programmable logic controllers during scan pauses |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation enclosures without forced cooling |
| Output Enable Delay (tDOE) | 12 ns max - ensures setup margin for OE-controlled burst reads in DMA-driven peripherals |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead), 300-mil width, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant, lead-free capable (per RoHS-5).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus accepting full 8K word range; no internal latching - requires stable address during CE1/CE2/OE assertion |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Three-state CMOS I/Os sharing pins for read/write; high-impedance when CE1=HI, CE2=LO, OE=HI, or WE=LO |
| CE1 | Chip Enable 1 (active-low) | Primary selection signal; initiates power-down if HIGH while CE2=HIGH, or disables outputs if deasserted mid-cycle |
| CE2 | Chip Enable 2 (active-high) | Secondary enable enabling bank selection in multi-SRAM systems; must be HIGH for any operation |
| OE | Output Enable (active-low) | Controls output drivers only; does not affect internal memory state or power mode - allows read-modify-write without bus contention |
| WE | Write Enable (active-low) | Directly gates write cycle; LOW with CE1=LOW and CE2=HIGH stores data; rising edge terminates write |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling per VCC pin due to 25 ns switching transients |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual Chip Enable Logic | CE1 (active-low) + CE2 (active-high) enables hierarchical memory decoding in 16-bit systems without external glue logic |
| Automatic Power-Down | Reduces ICC from 100 mA to 20 mA when deselected - cuts board-level power by >70% during CPU idle cycles |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2 V / VIL = 0.8 V and IOH/IOL specs match 74LS logic - eliminates level-shifting in legacy microprocessor buses |
| Fast Output Enable | tDOE = 12 ns ensures minimal latency between OE assertion and valid data - critical for real-time interrupt service routines |
| Alpha Particle Immunity | Die coat protection validated per MIL-STD-883 Method 1017 - suitable for industrial environments with elevated radiation background |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8K × 8 SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 16-bit bus (256K × 16), 10 ns access, 3.3 V only, no CE2 pin | Requires bus-width adaptation and level-shifting; lacks dual-CE for legacy 8-bit decode trees | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V systems and redesigning address decoding logic |
| ON Semiconductor MCM6264ELP-25 | Same 8K × 8, 25 ns, 5 V, but uses 28-pin DIP; no SOJ option; discontinued in 2012 | Identical timing and logic, but incompatible SOJ footprint - requires PCB rework | Use only for repair of existing DIP-based equipment where SOJ rework is prohibited |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and MCM6264ELP-25, the CY7C185-25VC uniquely retains SOJ-28 packaging, dual CE support, and industrial temperature compliance without voltage translation - making it the sole viable option for drop-in replacement in legacy 5 V SOJ-based systems.

FAQ
Is CY7C185-25VC compatible with 8086/8088 address/data bus timing?
Yes. With tAA = 25 ns, tDOE = 12 ns, and TTL-compatible VIH/VIL thresholds, the CY7C185-25VC meets all timing requirements for direct interface to 8086/8088 CPUs running at ≤12 MHz without wait states. Its CE1/CE2 logic aligns with standard 74LS138 decoder outputs used in classic PC/AT-style memory maps.
Does CY7C185-25VC require external pull-up resistors on I/O lines?
No. The device features internally terminated three-state outputs with no requirement for external pull-ups. I/O pins remain high-impedance when CE1 is HIGH, CE2 is LOW, OE is HIGH, or WE is LOW - eliminating bus contention risks in shared-data-bus architectures.
What is the maximum capacitive load the CY7C185-25VC can drive on its I/O lines?
The device is characterized for 30 pF load capacitance per I/O pin under AC test conditions. Driving loads >30 pF may increase tDOE and tHZOE beyond 12 ns and 10 ns respectively, potentially violating setup/hold margins in high-speed systems - use series termination or buffer drivers for >50 pF traces.
Can CY7C185-25VC operate reliably at 4.5 V supply?
Yes. Per Electrical Characteristics tables, VCC min = 4.5 V is supported across the full industrial temperature range. At 4.5 V, tAA increases to 27 ns (within spec), and ISB1 remains ≤20 mA - verified in Typical DC/AC Characteristics plots on page 7 of the datasheet.
