Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-12ZXCT 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 instrumentation and legacy industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-12ZXCT datasheet, CY7C199C-12ZXCT pinout, CY7C199C-12ZXCT application, or CY7C199C-12ZXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12 ns read cycle timing, 2.0V data retention capability, CMOS standby current ≤10 µA, and compatibility with 28-pin SOJ/TSOP I/DIP footprints across commercial and industrial temperature grades.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-12ZXCT 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 power-down circuitry activates automatically when CE remains HIGH, reducing ICC to ≤10 µA without external control logic.
It supports three distinct read modes (OE-controlled, CE-controlled, and simultaneous OE/CE active) and two write modes (WE-controlled and CE-controlled), with all timing parameters-tRC, tAA, tACE, tDOE, and tPD-guaranteed at 12 ns under VCC = 4.5–5.5V and TA = 0°C to 70°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - provides byte-wide data interface compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers and legacy bus architectures |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns - enables direct interfacing with 8051, Z80, and 68000-family CPUs running at ≤25 MHz system clocks |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - supports standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic domains without level-shifting |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - allows battery-backed operation during main power loss while preserving contents |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA - reduces system-level quiescent power in sleep-mode embedded controllers |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade instrumentation and office automation equipment |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-compatible - ensures direct connection to 74LS/74F logic families without interface buffers |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP I (8 mm × 13.4 mm), RoHS-compliant, surface-mount.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 row/column select; no internal latching required |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when CE or OE inactive |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low master enable; triggers automatic power-down when HIGH |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output buffer; does not affect power state |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal initiating write cycle; overlaps with CE to define write window |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V ±10% core supply; decoupling capacitor required per datasheet layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power reference plane; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise |
Key Features

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 | 16-bit bus (256K × 16), 3.3V only, 12 ns access, LVCMOS I/O | Requires bus-width adaptation and voltage translation for 5V systems | Preferred for new 3.3V designs needing higher density; not pin-compatible |
| ON Semiconductor MCM6295DW12 | Same 32K × 8 organization, 5V, 12 ns, but DIP-only packaging and obsolete status | Limited to through-hole prototyping; no TSOP I or RoHS-compliant variants available | Acceptable for legacy repair only; no long-term supply assurance |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-12TQLI and MCM6295DW12, the CY7C199C-12ZXCT uniquely combines 5V TTL compatibility, TSOP I packaging, and guaranteed 2.0V data retention-making it irreplaceable in cost-sensitive, space-constrained, battery-backed 5V industrial systems.

FAQ
Is CY7C199C-12ZXCT compatible with 3.3V systems?
No. The CY7C199C-12ZXCT operates exclusively at 5.0V ±10% (4.5V–5.5V). Its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and output drive strength are specified only for 5V logic families. Interfacing with 3.3V controllers requires level-shifting circuitry.
Does this device require an external clock or refresh circuitry?
No. The CY7C199C-12ZXCT is a true static RAM: it retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied and requires no clock signal or periodic refresh cycles. Its asynchronous interface responds directly to CE, OE, and WE transitions.
What is the maximum junction temperature during continuous operation?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is +125°C, derived from the ambient rating (–40°C to +85°C industrial grade) and ΘJA = 88.6°C/W for TSOP I. At 85°C ambient and 85 mA operating current, junction temperature reaches ~115°C-within safe margin if board layout follows Cypress's thermal guidelines.
Can CY7C199C-12ZXCT be used in battery-backed applications?
Yes. With guaranteed data retention down to 2.0V VCC and standby current ≤10 µA, it supports battery-backup schemes using coin cells or supercapacitors. Retention time depends on backup source capacity and leakage, but the device itself imposes no minimum voltage or current threshold beyond the 2.0V specification.
