Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-12VI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply operation, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It delivers TTL-compatible I/O, 2.0V data retention, and low standby current (10 µA in CMOS mode), deployed in industrial-grade embedded controllers requiring deterministic memory timing.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-12VI datasheet, CY7C199C-12VI pinout, CY7C199C-12VI application, or CY7C199C-12VI equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency across temperature, CE-driven power management, VCC tolerance for legacy 5V systems, and SOJ/TSOP I package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-12VI implements a fully asynchronous SRAM interface with independent CE, OE, and WE controls enabling flexible read/write sequencing. Its internal architecture includes address decoding logic, sense amplifiers, and a power-down circuit triggered by CE high, eliminating external sleep control logic.
It supports three operating modes: active read (CE=LOW, OE=LOW, WE=HIGH), active write (CE=LOW, WE=LOW), and automatic power-down (CE=HIGH). Data retention at 2.0V is guaranteed without clock or refresh, making it suitable for battery-backed memory hold applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - provides byte-wide data bus interface without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns - ensures sub-83 MHz synchronous system interfacing with margin |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with legacy 5V TTL/CMOS logic rails and noisy industrial supplies |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA at VCC = 5.5V - enables >1-year battery backup in low-power hold mode |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V minimum - maintains stored data during brown-out or controlled power collapse |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient environments without derating |
| Output Drive | IOH = –4.0 mA, IOL = 8.0 mA - directly drives standard TTL loads without buffers |
Pinout & Package
Available in 28-pin SOJ (300-mil), 28-pin TSOP I, and 28-pin DIP packages. Pin functions are identical across all variants; SOJ and TSOP I are surface-mount optimized, while DIP supports prototyping.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word addressing; no internal latching |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | True 8-bit bidirectional I/O with high-impedance state controlled by OE and CE |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary enable/disable control; asserts power-down when HIGH (TTL/CMOS compatible threshold) |
| OE | Output Enable | Gates output drivers only; does not affect power state or write capability |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-LOW write strobe; write occurs on CE/WE overlap, independent of OE |
| VCC, VSS | Power Supply | Single 5V supply with dedicated ground; no separate I/O or core voltage domains |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 12 ns Access Time | Guaranteed tAA ≤ 12 ns over full industrial temperature and voltage range - eliminates wait-state insertion in 5V microcontroller buses |
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 µA when CE = HIGH - removes need for external power-gating circuitry |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2V min, VOL = 0.4V max at 8 mA - interoperates directly with 74LS, 74F, and older microprocessor families |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains valid data with VCC ≥ 2.0V and CE disabled - supports non-volatile hold during main supply interruption |
| Pb-Free Packaging Option | RoHS-compliant SOJ/TSOP I variants available - meets industrial environmental compliance without performance trade-off |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS61LV25616AL-12TLI | 32K × 16 organization, 3.3V-only supply, 12 ns access, LVCMOS I/O | Requires data bus width adaptation and level translation in 5V systems | Select only when migrating to 3.3V architecture and wider data path is needed |
| ON Semiconductor MCM6295DW12 | 32K × 8, 5V, 12 ns, but discontinued and last-time-buy only; no Pb-free option | Limited supply continuity and no RoHS-compliant variant available | Use only for legacy repair; not recommended for new designs due to obsolescence risk |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-12TLI and MCM6295DW12, the CY7C199C-12VI uniquely combines industrial 5V tolerance, Pb-free packaging, and guaranteed 2.0V data retention - critical for long-lifecycle, battery-assisted, or safety-certified applications where voltage margin and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable.

FAQ
Is CY7C199C-12VI pin-compatible with CY7C199-12V?
Yes. The CY7C199C-12VI is the industrial-temperature (–40°C to +85°C) version of the CY7C199-12V (commercial, 0°C to +70°C), sharing identical pinout, electrical characteristics, and timing specifications except for temperature range qualification.
Does CY7C199C-12VI require an external clock or refresh circuit?
No. As a static RAM, it retains data indefinitely while powered and requires no clock input or periodic refresh cycles. Its operation is purely asynchronous and controlled solely by CE, OE, and WE signals.
Can CY7C199C-12VI operate reliably at 4.5V with full 12 ns access time?
Yes. The datasheet guarantees tAA ≤ 12 ns across the full 4.5V–5.5V VCC range and –40°C to +85°C ambient, verified under worst-case AC test conditions including 3 ns input rise/fall times and 1.5V timing reference levels.
What is the maximum capacitive load the I/O pins can drive while maintaining 12 ns timing?
The AC test load is defined as 30 pF (C1) with 480 Ω/255 Ω Thevenin source. Driving >30 pF increases tDOE/tHZOE delays beyond specification; layout must limit net capacitance to ≤25 pF for guaranteed 12 ns system-level timing.
