Product details
Overview
CY7C185-35VC from Cypress Semiconductor is an 8K × 8 (64 Kbit) CMOS static RAM with 35 ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and dual chip enable (CE1 active-low, CE2 active-high) for flexible memory expansion. It operates at 5V ±10%, delivers 100 mA max operating current and 20/15 mA standby current (ISB1/ISB2), and supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) in a 28-pin SOJ package. Used in legacy industrial controllers and embedded systems requiring non-volatile SRAM buffering.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C185-35VC datasheet, CY7C185-35VC pinout, CY7C185-35VC application, or CY7C185-35VC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 35 ns access timing, automatic power-down via CE1/CE2, three-state I/O control via OE/WE, and compatibility with 5V TTL bus interfaces in space-constrained SOJ layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C185-35VC implements a 256 × 32 × 8 memory array with separate row/column decoders, sense amplifiers, and input buffers. Its dual CE architecture enables hierarchical memory mapping-CE1 selects the device while CE2 enables read/write gating, allowing seamless integration into multi-chip address spaces without external logic.
Write operations require simultaneous CE1 = LOW, CE2 = HIGH, and WE = LOW; reads occur when CE1 = LOW, CE2 = HIGH, OE = LOW, and WE = HIGH. Output drivers enter high-impedance state when CE1 = HIGH, CE2 = LOW, or OE = HIGH-ensuring bus isolation during deselect or power-down.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 8,192 words × 8 bits (64 Kbit); supports byte-wide data transfers without bit-slicing logic. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 35 ns max; defines minimum clock-to-data delay in synchronous read cycles. |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%; compatible with standard TTL/CMOS 5V logic rails and legacy power domains. |
| Operating Current (ICC) | 100 mA max; determines thermal load and regulator sizing in continuous-read scenarios. |
| Standby Current (ISB1/ISB2) | 20/15 mA; enables 70% power reduction during deselection-critical for low-duty-cycle polling systems. |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible inputs/outputs; eliminates level-shifting requirements in mixed-logic designs. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and motor drives. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead), 300-mil width, lead pitch 0.050", JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A12 | Address Inputs | 13-bit address bus (8K = 2¹³); A0 least significant, A12 most significant. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit shared data path; high-impedance when OE inactive or chip deselected. |
| CE1 | Chip Enable 1 (active-low) | Primary selection signal; initiates power-up and enables internal logic when LOW. |
| CE2 | Chip Enable 2 (active-high) | Secondary gating signal; must be HIGH with CE1 LOW to activate memory access. |
| OE | Output Enable (active-low) | Controls output drivers only; does not affect internal state or power mode. |
| WE | Write Enable (active-low) | Directs I/O direction: LOW = write, HIGH = read (when CE1/CE2 enabled). |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin per layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic Power-Down | Drops ICC to 20 mA (ISB1) when CE1 ≥ VIH or CE2 ≤ VIL-no external control logic needed. |
| Fast tDOE (15 ns) | Minimizes OE-to-valid-data latency, enabling tight timing margins in burst-mode read sequences. |
| Three-State Outputs | Guaranteed high-impedance on I/O pins when CE1 HIGH, CE2 LOW, OE HIGH, or WE LOW-prevents bus contention. |
| Alpha Particle Immunity | Die coat layer mitigates soft errors in radiation-prone environments (e.g., industrial enclosures near motors). |
| Easy Memory Expansion | Dual CE architecture allows stacking multiple CY7C185 devices using address decoding without glue logic. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffering | Legacy Medical Instrument Memory |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 8K × 8 SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 16-bit bus, 256K × 16 organization, 10 ns access, 3.3 V supply only. | Requires data bus width adaptation and voltage translation; unsuitable for 5V-only systems. | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and needing higher density; not drop-in compatible. |
| AS6C4008-35TIN | Same 8K × 8 organization, 35 ns access, 5 V supply, but no CE2 pin-uses single CE only. | Lacks hierarchical enable; requires redesign of address decode logic to eliminate CE2 dependency. | Use when simplifying board layout is prioritized over existing CE2-based memory map reuse. |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-35TIN, the CY7C185-35VC uniquely retains dual CE support and 5V TTL compatibility-preserving legacy system timing, voltage, and decode architecture without interface redesign.

FAQ
Is CY7C185-35VC RoHS-compliant?
No-CY7C185-35VC was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC implementation and contains leaded solder in its SOJ package. It is exempt under Annex III for industrial spare parts and legacy system maintenance per EU Commission Decision 2005/717/EC.
Can CY7C185-35VC operate at 3.3 V?
No-its absolute maximum ratings specify VCC = –0.5 V to +7.0 V, but electrical characteristics (VOH/VOL, ICC, tAA) are only guaranteed at 5 V ±10%. Operation below 4.5 V violates datasheet minima and risks timing violations or data corruption.
What is the function of the NC pin on CY7C185-35VC?
Pin 13 is marked "NC" (No Connect) in the SOJ pinout. It is internally unconnected and must remain floating-no external pull-up, pull-down, or routing is permitted, as it has no electrical function or bonding wire.
Does CY7C185-35VC support battery backup operation?
Yes-its ISB2 = 15 mA at VCC = 5 V and VIN ≤ 0.3 V allows direct connection to a backup lithium cell (e.g., BR2032) through a diode, maintaining data retention during main power loss without external power-switching circuitry.
