Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-12VXC from Cypress Semiconductor Corporation is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply range, TTL-compatible I/Os, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and supports high-speed memory interfacing in microcontroller-based systems, industrial controllers, and legacy bus architectures.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-12VXC datasheet, CY7C199C-12VXC pinout, CY7C199C-12VXC application, or CY7C199C-12VXC equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12 ns read cycle time, 2.0V data retention capability, low 10 µA CMOS standby current (ISB2), and compatibility with 28-pin SOJ, DIP, and TSOP I packages.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-12VXC implements a full asynchronous SRAM interface with independent chip enable (CE), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls. Its internal architecture includes row/column decoders, sense amplifiers, and an automated power-down circuit triggered when CE is deasserted.
It supports three timing grades (12/15/20 ns), with this variant specified for 12 ns tRC and tAA. All AC parameters-including tHZOE (5 ns), tLZCE (3 ns), and tPD (12 ns)-are measured under defined test loads (RTH = 167 Ω, VTH = 1.73 V, CL = 30 pF) and 1.5 V timing reference levels.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - delivers byte-wide data access without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns - enables direct interface with 80 MHz bus clocks in non-pipelined systems |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures robust operation across noisy industrial 5 V rails |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V - allows low-power suspend mode with battery backup at minimal voltage |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA - reduces system idle power by >99% vs active operation (85 mA) |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded control and instrumentation |
| Input Capacitance | 8 pF - limits signal integrity impact on high-speed address/data buses |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin SOJ (300-mil), RoHS-compliant, body size 11.4 mm × 13.4 mm × 2.9 mm.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word addressing; no multiplexing required |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | True 8-bit bidirectional interface; high-impedance state controlled by OE and CE |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; initiates automatic power-down when HIGH (TTL/CMOS compatible) |
| OE | Output Enable | Gates output drivers only; does not affect internal power state or write capability |
| WE | Write Enable | Controls write cycle initiation; write occurs only when CE and WE are both LOW |
| VCC | Power Supply | 5.0 V core supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of Pin 28 per layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power return; Pin 14 serves as sole ground reference for all I/O and core logic |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automated Power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 µA when CE is deasserted-no external control logic needed |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Accepts standard 5 V TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) while driving 4 mA HIGH / 8 mA LOW |
| 2.0 V Data Retention | Maintains stored data during brown-out or backup-battery operation without refresh |
| Low Capacitance I/O | 8 pF max input/output capacitance minimizes loading on high-frequency address/data lines |
| Three Package Options | SOJ, DIP, and TSOP I footprints allow drop-in replacement across legacy and space-constrained designs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-12PIN | Same 32K × 8 organization and 12 ns speed, but 2.7–3.6 V supply only; no 5 V tolerance | Requires level-shifting in 5 V systems; unsuitable for direct replacement without redesign | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V platform with compatible I/O voltage margins |
| IS61LV25616AL-12TLI | 16-bit bus (256K × 16), 3.3 V only, 12 ns access; different pinout and address width | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB revision and address bus reconfiguration | Choose for higher bandwidth needs where 16-bit data path justifies layout change |
Compared with AS6C4008-12PIN and IS61LV25616AL-12TLI, the CY7C199C-12VXC uniquely supports 5 V operation with TTL compatibility, retains data at 2.0 V, and offers three package variants-making it the only drop-in solution for legacy 5 V embedded systems requiring proven reliability and long-term availability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for CY7C199C-12VXC at 12 ns speed?
The maximum operating supply current (ICC) is 85 mA under worst-case conditions: VCC = 5.5 V, f = 1/tRC = 83.3 MHz, and IOUT = 0 mA. This value appears in the DC Electrical Characteristics table on page 4 of Rev. *C datasheet and reflects peak dynamic consumption during continuous read cycles.
Does CY7C199C-12VXC support automatic power-down with both TTL and CMOS input logic levels?
Yes. Two distinct standby modes are specified: ISB1 (30 µA) for TTL-compatible CE inputs (VIH ≥ 2.2 V), and ISB2 (10 µA) for CMOS-compatible CE inputs (VIH ≥ VCC – 0.3 V). Both activate automatically when CE is HIGH and require no additional control signals.
Can CY7C199C-12VXC be used in industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C)?
No. The -12VXC suffix denotes the commercial grade (0°C to +70°C). Industrial temperature operation requires the CY7C199C-12VI variant, which shares identical electrical specifications but is screened and tested across –40°C to +85°C ambient conditions.
What is the minimum pulse width required for WE in write cycles?
The minimum WE pulse width (tPWE) is 8 ns for the 12 ns speed grade. This is specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table (page 5) and must be met regardless of whether the write is CE-controlled or WE-controlled to ensure reliable data capture into the memory array.
