Product details
Overview
CY7C199-15PC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 32K × 8 (262,144-bit) CMOS static RAM with 15 ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, active-low CE/OE/WE control, and automatic CE-driven power-down reducing standby current to 0.05 mA (L version). It operates at 5V ±10% over 0°C to +70°C and is used in legacy industrial controllers for nonvolatile data buffering during processor reset sequences.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199-15PC datasheet, CY7C199-15PC pinout, CY7C199-15PC application, or CY7C199-15PC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read timing, ISB2 = 0.05 mA CMOS standby current, CE-controlled power-down behavior, and 28-pin DIP package compatibility with through-hole memory expansion slots.
Technical Context
The CY7C199-15PC implements a synchronous, address-decoded 32,768-word × 8-bit SRAM array with three-state bidirectional I/O drivers controlled by independent CE, OE, and WE signals. Its automatic power-down activates when CE is HIGH, disabling internal logic and reducing ICC to ISB2 level without external sequencing.
It uses standard TTL voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), supports 30 pF AC load, and guarantees tDOE = 7 ns and tHZOE = 7 ns under specified conditions - enabling direct interface with 80Cxx and Z80-family microcontrollers without bus buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 (262,144 bits), single-port asynchronous SRAM |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max - determines minimum CPU wait-state requirement for 8-bit parallel bus |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5V TTL/CMOS system rails |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 0.05 mA max (CMOS inputs) - enables low-power hold mode during system sleep |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade rating for indoor industrial equipment |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible inputs/outputs - eliminates level-shifting for 5V microcontroller buses |
| Package | 28-pin 300-mil DIP - supports manual prototyping and wave-soldered PCBs |
Pinout & Package
28-pin dual in-line package (DIP), 300 mil width, through-hole mounting. Pin functions validated per Cypress Document #38-05160 Rev. **, Page 2 (Top View DIP diagram).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus driving row/column decoders for 32K-word selection |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Three-state CMOS I/O pins shared for read/write; high-impedance when CE or OE inactive |
| CE̅ | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary chip select; asserts internal logic and enables power-down when HIGH |
| OE̅ | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls output driver enable only; does not affect internal power state |
| WE̅ | Write Enable (active LOW) | Directly gates write operation; LOW with CE̅ LOW initiates write cycle |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling required within 1 inch per Cypress layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; dedicated pin (Pin 14) minimizes noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC from 155 mA (active) to 0.05 mA (standby) - cuts system idle power by >99% |
| Fast tDOE = 7 ns | Minimizes read latency when OE̅ is asserted late in bus cycle - supports tight-timing 8086 derivatives |
| 2V Data Retention (L version) | Preserves memory contents at VCC = 2.0 V - enables battery-backed hold during main power loss |
| Die Coat for Alpha Immunity | Reduces soft error rate in radiation-prone environments (e.g., medical imaging subsystems) |
| Easy Memory Expansion | CE̅/OE̅ separation allows daisy-chained or bank-switched multi-chip configurations |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffer | Legacy Microcontroller Scratchpad |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Storing real-time I/O status and register snapshots between scan cycles in Allen-Bradley SLC 500-style controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous parallel SRAM providing zero-wait-state read/write for 8-bit data bus during 1–10 ms scan intervals. Use Value: 15 ns tAA ensures deterministic response under worst-case temperature/voltage; CE-driven power-down reduces thermal load during idle scans. |
Use Scenario: Acting as temporary variable storage for Zilog Z80-based embedded test instruments with no on-chip RAM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: External scratchpad memory mapped into I/O space, accessed via OUT/IN instructions with fixed 15 ns timing window. Use Value: TTL-compatible I/O eliminates bus transceivers; 28-pin DIP simplifies hand-soldered repair and field replacement. |
| Medical Device Configuration Store | Avionics Display Frame Buffer |
|
Use Scenario: Holding calibration coefficients and user preferences in portable ultrasound units requiring data retention during battery swaps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Nonvolatile backup memory using 2V data retention mode powered by coin cell during main power interruption. Use Value: ISB2 = 0.05 mA extends coin-cell life beyond 5 years; die coat mitigates soft errors in gamma-rich clinical environments. |
Use Scenario: Providing pixel line buffer for monochrome CRT display drivers in legacy flight management systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role buffer: stores incoming serial video data (write via shift register) and supplies parallel pixel bursts (read via address counter). Use Value: tHZOE = 7 ns ensures clean pixel clock edge alignment; 300-mil DIP fits constrained avionics board layouts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-15ZC | 4M × 8 organization, 15 ns access, 3.3 V only, SOJ-32 package | Requires level translation for 5V systems; higher density but incompatible voltage domain | Select only if upgrading to 3.3V architecture and needing >32K capacity |
| HM62256ALP-15 | 32K × 8, 15 ns, 5V, 28-pin DIP, ISB = 10 µA (lower than CY7C199-15PC's 0.05 mA) | Same pinout and voltage; superior standby current but no die coat or data retention spec | Prefer for ultra-low-power battery systems where radiation immunity is not required |
Compared with AS6C4008-15ZC and HM62256ALP-15, the CY7C199-15PC uniquely combines 5V TTL compatibility, proven alpha immunity, and guaranteed 2V data retention - making it irreplaceable in fielded 5V industrial controllers requiring long-term reliability without redesign.

FAQ
Is CY7C199-15PC RoHS compliant?
No. CY7C199-15PC was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC implementation and contains leaded solder in its 28-pin DIP package. It is exempt under Category 7 (medical devices) and Category 8 (monitoring and control instruments) for legacy repair and continuity use.
Can CY7C199-15PC operate at 3.3 V?
No. The device requires 5 V ±10% (4.5 V to 5.5 V) per Electrical Characteristics table on Page 3. Operation below 4.5 V violates VOH/VOL specs and risks data corruption; no 3.3 V variant exists in this family.
What is the meaning of "L version" in CY7C199 datasheet?
The "L" suffix denotes low-power variants with enhanced standby current (ISB2 = 0.05 mA) and 2V data retention capability. CY7C199-15PC is an "L" version - confirmed by ISB2 = 0.05 mA and VDR = 2.0 V in Tables on Pages 4–5.
Does CY7C199-15PC support concurrent read/write operations?
No. It is a single-port SRAM: read and write share the same I/O pins and cannot occur simultaneously. Write cycles require WE̅ LOW with CE̅ LOW; reads require WE̅ HIGH and OE̅ LOW - enforced by internal gating logic per Functional Description on Page 1.
