Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-12ZXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply operation, TTL-compatible I/Os, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It serves as a high-speed, low-power data buffer or working memory in microcontroller-based systems requiring deterministic read/write timing and reliable data retention down to 2.0V.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-12ZXC datasheet, CY7C199C-12ZXC pinout, CY7C199C-12ZXC application, or CY7C199C-12ZXC equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency across temperature, CMOS standby current under deselected conditions, VCC operating margin, and compatibility with legacy 28-pin SOJ/DIP/TSOP I footprints in industrial control and instrumentation designs.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-12ZXC implements a fully asynchronous interface with independent CE, OE, and WE controls-enabling flexible read/write sequencing without clock dependency. Its internal architecture includes address decoding logic, sense amplifiers, and a power-down circuit that activates automatically when CE remains HIGH, reducing ICC to ≤10 µA at VCC = 5.0V.
It supports three speed grades (12/15/20 ns), with this variant specified for 12 ns tRC and tAA. Data retention is guaranteed at VCC = 2.0V with ICCDR ≤150 µA, and all DC/AC parameters are validated over commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 Kbit (32K × 8) - provides byte-wide data path compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers and peripheral interfaces. |
| Access Time | 12 ns - ensures sub-83 MHz bus operation with setup/hold margins for synchronous controllers. |
| VCC Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard 5V TTL/CMOS system rails with ±10% tolerance for line regulation variation. |
| Standby Current | 10 µA (ISB2, CMOS inputs) - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during processor sleep or idle states. |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V - maintains stored data during brown-out or backup-battery operation without refresh. |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input / TTL-output - eliminates level-shifting requirements when interfacing with legacy logic families. |
| Package Type | 28-pin SOJ (300-mil) - surface-mount footprint with gull-wing leads suitable for automated assembly and thermal reliability in industrial PCBs. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Small Outline J-Lead (SOJ), 300-mil width, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant. Pin pitch: 1.27 mm. Body dimensions: 18.42 mm × 7.62 mm × 2.92 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus (32K locations); driven by MPU/MCU address lines with no latching required. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CE=HIGH or OE=HIGH, enabling bus sharing. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-LOW enable; initiates automatic power-down when deasserted, reducing ICC to µA-level. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-LOW control for output drivers only; does not affect write operations or power state. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-LOW signal controlling write cycle initiation; combined with CE to define valid write window. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V core supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm of pin 28. |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power return reference; connected to PCB ground plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 12 ns Access Time | Guaranteed tAA and tRC ≤12 ns across full voltage/temperature range-enables direct interface with 8051, Z80, and 68K-family processors without wait states. |
| Automatic Power-down | Zero software overhead: CE deassertion triggers hardware power gating, cutting ICC from 85 mA to 10 µA without external control logic. |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains valid contents during brown-out or battery-backup scenarios, eliminating need for external backup power management circuitry. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2 V min and VOL = 0.4 V max ensure interoperability with 5V logic families without level translators or pull-up resistors. |
| Pb-Free Packaging Option | RoHS-compliant SOJ variant available (CY7C199C-12ZXC), supporting lead-free reflow profiles and environmental compliance for industrial OEMs. |

FAQ
Is CY7C199C-12ZXC pin-compatible with CY7C199-12V?
Yes. Both share identical 28-pin SOJ pinout and signal assignments-including A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CE, OE, WE, VCC, and VSS. The only differences are package construction (SOJ vs. DIP) and RoHS compliance; electrical timing and DC characteristics are identical per datasheet Rev. *C.
What is the maximum operating temperature for industrial-grade operation?
The CY7C199C-12ZXC is rated for industrial temperature range: –40°C to +85°C ambient. This rating applies to all speed grades and package variants, including the SOJ version, and is validated per the "Operating Range" table on page 4 of datasheet 38-05408 Rev. *C.
Does automatic power-down require external circuitry or configuration?
No. Power-down is fully autonomous and triggered solely by CE remaining HIGH. No external control signals, registers, or initialization sequences are needed. When CE ≥ VCC – 0.3V and inputs are stable, ISB2 drops to ≤10 µA without any firmware or hardware intervention.
Can CY7C199C-12ZXC be used in battery-backed applications?
Yes. With guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0V and ICCDR ≤150 µA, it supports battery-backup operation using coin cells or supercapacitors. The device retains data indefinitely at 2.0V as long as CE remains asserted and ambient temperature stays within specification limits.
