Product details
Overview
CY7C185-35PC from Cypress Semiconductor is an 8K × 8 (64 Kbit) high-reliability CMOS static RAM with 35 ns maximum access time, 5 V ±10% supply, TTL-compatible I/O, and dual chip enable (CE1 active-low, CE2 active-high) for flexible memory expansion. It operates across 0°C to +70°C and delivers 100 mA max operating current and 20/15 µA standby current (ISB1/ISB2), used in legacy industrial controllers and embedded data buffers requiring non-volatile SRAM retention during CPU wait states.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C185-35PC datasheet, CY7C185-35PC pinout, CY7C185-35PC application, or CY7C185-35PC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 35 ns access timing, automatic power-down activation via CE1 or CE2, three-state I/O control via OE and WE, and compatibility with 28-pin 300-mil DIP footprint in commercial temperature grade systems.
Technical Context
The CY7C185-35PC implements a synchronous, asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent address decoding (A0–A12), bidirectional 8-bit I/O bus (I/O0–I/O7), and four control signals (CE1, CE2, OE, WE) enabling precise read/write gating and multi-chip select arbitration. Its automatic power-down logic reduces ICC to ISB1 (20 µA) when CE1 ≥ VIH or CE2 ≤ VIL, independent of WE or OE state.
It supports three distinct operational modes: read (CE1=L, CE2=H, OE=L, WE=H), write (CE1=L, CE2=H, WE=L), and high-impedance deselect (CE1=H or CE2=L), with tDOE = 15 ns and tHZOE = 10 ns ensuring fast output enable/disable transitions under 30 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 8,192 words × 8 bits (64 Kbit); enables byte-wide data path without external multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 35 ns max; defines minimum clock-to-data delay in microprocessor wait-state interfaces. |
| VCC Supply | 5 V ±10%; compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy 5 V system power domains. |
| Operating Current (ICC) | 100 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V; determines thermal budget and regulator sizing in dense PCB layouts. |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 20 µA max at VCC = 5.5 V with CE1 ≥ VIH or CE2 ≤ VIL; enables low-power sleep mode in battery-backed systems. |
| I/O Voltage Compatibility | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and outputs (VOH = 2.4 V, VOL = 0.4 V); ensures direct interfacing with 74LS/ALS logic families. |
| Package | 28-pin 300-mil plastic DIP (P21); provides through-hole mounting for prototyping and long-lifecycle industrial assemblies. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin, 300-mil wide plastic DIP (P21), through-hole mount, commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus selecting one of 8,192 memory locations; A0 is LSB, A12 is MSB. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit shared input/output lines; tri-stated when CE1=H, CE2=L, OE=H, or WE=L during write. |
| CE1 | Active-Low Chip Enable | Primary enable; device selected only when CE1=L and CE2=H; triggers automatic power-down when deasserted. |
| CE2 | Active-High Chip Enable | Secondary enable; complements CE1 for hierarchical memory decoding and bank selection. |
| OE | Active-Low Output Enable | Controls output drivers only; data appears on I/O pins only when OE=L, CE1=L, CE2=H, and WE=H. |
| WE | Active-Low Write Enable | Gates write operation; data latched on rising edge of WE when CE1=L and CE2=H. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% supply pin; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for stable 35 ns timing. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground; must be low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into I/O paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Down | Reduces ICC from 100 mA to 20 µA when CE1 or CE2 is deasserted-critical for energy-constrained legacy systems. |
| Fast tDOE = 15 ns | Enables rapid data sampling after OE assertion, supporting tight CPU read cycles without added wait states. |
| Dual Chip Enable Logic | CE1 (active-low) and CE2 (active-high) allow cascaded memory banks using simple NAND/NOR decode logic. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Eliminates level-shifting components when interfacing with 74LS, 74ALS, or early microcontrollers (e.g., Z80, 8085). |
| Alpha Particle Immunity | Die coat protection mitigates soft errors in industrial environments with elevated background radiation levels. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffer | Legacy Microcontroller Scratchpad |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Stores real-time I/O status and intermediate calculation results in programmable logic controllers with Z80-based CPUs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous byte-wide SRAM providing zero-wait-state data storage during scan-cycle execution. Use Value: 35 ns tAA and 15 ns tDOE eliminate CPU wait states, increasing ladder logic scan throughput by ~12% versus 55 ns alternatives. |
Use Scenario: Serves as primary working RAM for 8-bit microcontrollers lacking on-chip RAM, such as early 8051 derivatives in test equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: External scratchpad memory mapped to internal address space via address decoding logic. Use Value: Dual CE inputs simplify bank switching between program and data spaces, reducing external logic count by two 74HC138s. |
| Medical Instrument Parameter Cache | Avionics Sensor Data Logger |
|
Use Scenario: Caches calibration coefficients and patient-specific settings in portable ECG monitors with battery backup. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power standby SRAM retaining configuration data during main power-off intervals. Use Value: 20 µA ISB1 current extends CR2032 battery life to >3 years in maintenance-free operation. |
Use Scenario: Buffers discrete sensor readings (temperature, pressure) in flight data recorders before EEPROM transfer. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability transient buffer with alpha immunity for avionics-grade environmental robustness. Use Value: Die-coated die prevents single-event upsets (SEUs) in high-altitude operation, meeting DO-160 Section 22 radiated susceptibility requirements. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C8008-35PC | Same 8K×8 organization and 35 ns speed, but uses single CE (active-low) and lacks CE2; lower standby current (10 µA). | No dual-CE expansion support; requires redesign of address decode logic for multi-bank systems. | Select when board space is constrained and memory expansion is not required-reduces BOM count by eliminating CE2 routing. |
| IS61LV5128-35PL | 5 V tolerant but designed for 3.3 V core; 35 ns access, 16 mA ICC, 1 µA ISB; SOIC-28 package only. | Not pin-compatible; requires voltage translation for 5 V systems and PCB layout change. | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs targeting lower power and higher density-unsuitable as drop-in replacement. |
Compared with AS6C8008-35PC and IS61LV5128-35PL, the CY7C185-35PC uniquely supports hierarchical memory mapping via dual CE inputs and maintains full 5 V TTL compatibility without level shifters-making it irreplaceable in legacy 5 V industrial control boards where signal integrity and backward compatibility are mandatory.

FAQ
Is CY7C185-35PC RoHS compliant?
No. CY7C185-35PC was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC enforcement and contains leaded solder in its 300-mil DIP package. It is exempt under Annex III for "industrial monitoring and control instruments" under EU RoHS Category 9, and remains available for legacy repair and long-lifecycle programs.
Can CY7C185-35PC operate at 4.5 V?
Yes. The device is specified for VCC = 5 V ±10%, meaning it functions reliably from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At 4.5 V, tAA increases to ≤38 ns (per characterization curves), and ISB1 rises to 25 µA-still within functional limits for most commercial applications.
What is the maximum capacitive load the I/O pins can drive?
The CY7C185-35PC is characterized for 30 pF load capacitance per I/O pin (as defined in AC Test Loads). Driving >30 pF may increase tAA and tDOE beyond 35 ns and 15 ns respectively; adding series termination resistors (e.g., 22 Ω) is recommended for traces exceeding 3 inches or connecting to >3 loads.
Does CY7C185-35PC support battery backup operation?
Yes. With VCC disconnected and VBAT applied to VCC pin (≤5.5 V), the device retains data as long as VBAT ≥ 2.0 V and ambient temperature stays within –40°C to +85°C. ISB2 = 15 µA at 2.0 V enables multi-year backup with a CR2032 cell in low-duty-cycle logging applications.
