Product details
Overview
CY7C199-15VC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 32K × 8 (262,144-bit) CMOS static RAM with 15 ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and automatic CE-controlled power-down reducing standby current to 0.05 mA (L version). It operates at 5V ±10% over commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges and is used in legacy microcontroller systems requiring fast, low-power parallel memory interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199-15VC datasheet, CY7C199-15VC pinout, CY7C199-15VC application, or CY7C199-15VC equivalent, key selection criteria include tAA = 15 ns read timing, ISB2 = 0.05 mA CMOS standby current, CE/OE/WE three-control logic interface, and compatibility with 28-pin DIP/SOJ/LCC footprints in embedded control and instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The CY7C199-15VC implements a full asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent Chip Enable (CE), Output Enable (OE), and Write Enable (WE) controls enabling flexible bus arbitration and memory expansion. Its 15 ns tAA and tRC specify guaranteed data validity after address or CE assertion under 5V operation and 30 pF load.
It features automatic power-down when CE is deasserted (ISB2 ≤ 0.05 mA), TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V), and output drive capability of IOH = –4.0 mA / IOL = 8.0 mA - supporting direct connection to legacy 5V microprocessor buses without level translation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32,768 × 8 bits - provides 256 KB address space for byte-wide 8-bit microcontrollers. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max - ensures reliable read setup for 66 MHz CPU bus cycles with margin. |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no separate VDD/VSS sequencing required. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 0.05 mA max (CMOS inputs) - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during processor sleep states. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade) - supports deployment in industrial PLCs and automotive body controllers. |
| I/O Drive Strength | IOH = –4.0 mA, IOL = 8.0 mA - directly drives 10 TTL loads or 20 CMOS inputs without buffers. |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V (L version only) - maintains stored data during brown-out conditions down to 2V supply. |
Pinout & Package
Available in 28-pin plastic DIP (300-mil), SOJ, and LCC packages. Pin functions are identical across all variants; pin numbering follows JEDEC MS-012 (DIP/SOJ) and MO-047 (LCC) standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus (32K words); latched on CE/WE transitions; no internal address register. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | Three-state CMOS I/O pins; high-impedance when CE HIGH or OE HIGH and WE HIGH. |
| CE | Chip Enable (active LOW) | Primary chip select; enables internal logic and initiates automatic power-down when HIGH. |
| OE | Output Enable (active LOW) | Controls output drivers only; does not affect internal power state or write functionality. |
| WE | Write Enable (active LOW) | Controls direction of I/O pins: LOW = write, HIGH = read (when CE and OE active). |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply pin (Pin 28 in DIP/SOJ, Pin 26 in LCC); decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground (Pin 14 in DIP/SOJ, Pin 13 in LCC); must be low-inductance connection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC to 0.05 mA when CE is HIGH - eliminates need for external power-gating circuitry. |
| TTL-Compatible Interface | VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V - interoperable with 5V microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, Z80, 68000) without level shifters. |
| Fast tDOE = 7 ns | Enables rapid read bursts by minimizing OE-to-data delay - critical for video frame buffer and FIFO applications. |
| Three-State Outputs | High-impedance I/O0–I/O7 when CE or OE inactive - allows direct bus sharing with multiple peripherals. |
| DIE Coat for Alpha Immunity | Enhanced soft-error rate (SER) resilience in radiation-prone environments like medical imaging systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-15TIN | 4M × 8 organization, 15 ns access, 3.3 V only, no 2V data retention | Requires level-shifting for 5V systems; unsuitable for brown-out retention use cases | Select if migrating to 3.3 V design and higher density is needed; verify bus timing margins. |
| IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | 256K × 16 organization, 15 ns, 3.3 V, LVCMOS I/O, no CE power-down | Wider data bus (16-bit), incompatible pinout, lacks automatic standby current reduction | Choose for 16-bit processors needing higher bandwidth; add external power management for low-power modes. |
Compared with AS6C4008-15TIN and IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI, the CY7C199-15VC uniquely delivers 5V operation, 2V data retention, and hardware CE-triggered power-down in a pin-compatible 28-pin footprint - making it irreplaceable in legacy 5V industrial and automotive systems requiring proven reliability and minimal redesign.

FAQ
Is CY7C199-15VC RoHS compliant?
No - CY7C199-15VC was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC implementation and contains leaded solder in its package. It is exempt under Annex III for "industrial monitoring and control instruments" and remains available for legacy repair and long-lifecycle programs under controlled sourcing.
What is the difference between CY7C199-15VC and CY7C199-15VCT?
CY7C199-15VC denotes the commercial temperature grade (0°C to +70°C), while CY7C199-15VCT specifies the industrial grade (–40°C to +85°C). Both share identical timing (15 ns), pinout, and electrical specs except for extended thermal qualification and tighter ISB2 validation across the wider temperature range.
Can CY7C199-15VC operate at 3.3 V?
No - the device requires 5.0 V ±10% (4.5 V to 5.5 V) per its Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. Operation below 4.5 V violates VOH/VOL specifications and risks data corruption or failure to enter power-down mode reliably.
Does CY7C199-15VC support battery backup or data retention mode?
Yes - the "L" version (e.g., CY7C199-15VCL) supports 2.0 V data retention with ICCDR ≤ 10 µA. The -15VC suffix indicates commercial grade but does not guarantee L-version features; retention capability must be verified by full part number including "L".
