Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-12VXCT 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 serves as a high-speed, low-power data buffer or working memory in embedded controllers, industrial PLCs, and legacy communication interface cards requiring TTL-compatible I/O and reliable 2.0V data retention.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-12VXCT datasheet, CY7C199C-12VXCT pinout, CY7C199C-12VXCT application, or CY7C199C-12VXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 12 ns tAA/tRC timing, CMOS standby current ≤10 µA under VCC–0.3V CE disable, and SOJ-28 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-12VXCT implements a fully asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent address decoding, sense amplifier array, and tri-state I/O buffers controlled by CE, OE, and WE. Its read/write cycle timing is governed by overlapping CE and WE assertion, with no internal clock or synchronization logic.
Power management relies on dual-mode automatic power-down: ISB1 (30 µA) for TTL-level CE disable and ISB2 (10 µA) for CMOS-level CE disable, both validated at f = 0 MHz and VCC = max. Data retention at 2.0V is guaranteed with ICCDR ≤150 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - supports byte-wide data bus without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA / tRC) | 12 ns - enables direct interfacing with 8051, Z80, and 68K-family microcontrollers at full speed |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy power supplies |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA at VCC–0.3V CE disable - reduces system idle power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - maintains stored data during brown-out or controlled low-power sleep modes |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-compatible VIH/VIL and VOH/VOL - eliminates level-shifting requirements in mixed-logic systems |
| Package Type | 28-pin SOJ (300-mil) - matches footprint of industry-standard 28-pin SRAM sockets and PCB land patterns |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Small Outline J-Lead (SOJ), 300-mil width, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; leads bent downward for through-hole or surface-mount soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus supporting 32K-word addressing; A0 least significant bit |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CE=HIGH or OE=HIGH during reads |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low primary device select; initiates automatic power-down when deasserted |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; disables output drivers without affecting internal state |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; controls data latching into memory array with CE |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V ±10% core supply; decoupling capacitor required at Pin 28 per layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power return reference; connected to Pin 14 for noise immunity |

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-12TQLI | 32K × 16 organization, 3.3V-only supply, 12 ns access, TSOP-44 package | Requires data bus width adaptation and voltage translation; not drop-in for 8-bit systems | Select only if migrating to 16-bit data path and 3.3V infrastructure |
| ON Semiconductor MCM6295DW12 | 32K × 8, 5V, 12 ns, DIP-28 package; no automatic power-down; higher ISB = 5 mA | Matches pinout and function but lacks low-power mode; suitable for non-battery systems | Prefer when board space allows DIP socket and standby current >5 mA is acceptable |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-12TQLI and MCM6295DW12, the CY7C199C-12VXCT uniquely delivers 8-bit bus compatibility, 5V tolerance, and sub-10 µA standby in a legacy SOJ-28 footprint-critical for cost-sensitive, long-lifecycle industrial retrofits.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY7C199C-12VXCT?
The CY7C199C-12VXCT is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per the device's DC and AC electrical specifications in the official datasheet (Document #: 38-05408 Rev. *C), and applies to all package variants including the SOJ-28 version. No derating is required within this span.
Does CY7C199C-12VXCT support true static operation without refresh?
Yes. The CY7C199C-12VXCT is a true asynchronous static RAM with no internal refresh circuitry required. Data remains valid indefinitely as long as VCC is maintained within specification and CE is asserted during access. Its architecture uses six-transistor memory cells, eliminating periodic refresh cycles inherent in DRAM devices.
Can CY7C199C-12VXCT be used with 3.3V logic interfaces?
No. The CY7C199C-12VXCT requires a 4.5V–5.5V VCC supply and is specified only for TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V). Driving its inputs from 3.3V logic may result in marginal VIH margin and undefined behavior. A level translator or 5V-compatible buffer is required for safe interfacing.
Is Pb-free packaging available for CY7C199C-12VXCT?
Yes. Cypress offered both Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) and traditional SnPb finish variants of the CY7C199C-12VXCT in SOJ-28 packaging. The "-12VXCT" suffix denotes the Pb-free version; the non-Pb-free variant carries the "-12VXC" suffix. Both share identical electrical and thermal specifications.
