Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-15PXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/Os, 5.0V ±10% supply operation, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It serves as a high-speed, low-power data buffer in microcontroller-based systems requiring deterministic read/write timing and reliable data retention down to 2.0V.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-15PXC datasheet, CY7C199C-15PXC pinout, CY7C199C-15PXC application, or CY7C199C-15PXC equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency across temperature, CMOS standby current (≤10 µA), VCC operating range (4.5–5.5V), and compatibility with legacy 28-pin DIP/SOJ/TSOP I footprints.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-15PXC implements a fully asynchronous memory interface with independent CE, OE, and WE controls enabling flexible bus arbitration. Its internal architecture includes a 32K × 8 RAM array with dedicated row/column decoders, sense amplifiers, and input/output buffers designed for zero-bus-turnaround operation.
Power management is handled by dual-mode automatic power-down: ISB1 (30 µA, TTL inputs) activates when CE ≥ VIH and inputs are valid; ISB2 (10 µA, CMOS inputs) engages under deeper sleep conditions with VIN ≥ VCC–0.3V or ≤0.3V. Data retention at 2.0V draws ≤150 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - supports byte-wide data buses without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns - guarantees data validity within 15 ns of address stabilization, critical for 66 MHz bus timing |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerates ±10% regulation drift |
| CMOS Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during system idle without external gating |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V - preserves stored data during brown-out or battery-backup scenarios |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input/TTL-output - interfaces directly with 74LS/74HC families without level-shifting |
| Package Type | 28-pin Plastic DIP (300-mil) - through-hole mounting for prototyping and industrial control PCBs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (DIP), 300-mil width, 0.6-inch body length, 0.1-inch lead pitch.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus (32K = 2¹⁵) - supports full memory mapping without external address latching |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path - high-impedance when OE or CE inactive, eliminating bus contention |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select - initiates automatic power-down when HIGH, enabling multi-SRAM bank management |
| OE | Output Enable | Read-gating control - disables output drivers without affecting internal state or power mode |
| WE | Write Enable | Write strobe - low-active signal that latches data on rising edge of WE or CE, per timing waveforms |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V core supply - decoupling required at Pin 28 per layout guidelines to maintain tAA stability |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power reference - connected at Pin 14 to minimize ground bounce in high-speed cycles |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 15 ns Access Time | Guaranteed tAA ≤15 ns over full commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), enabling direct interfacing with 66 MHz microcontrollers |
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces ICC from 80 mA (active) to 10 µA (standby) without external control logic or clock gating |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains stored contents during brown-out events or backup battery operation, verified per JEDEC JESD22-A107 |
| TTL-Compatible I/Os | VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V, VOH = 2.4 V, VOL = 0.4 V - eliminates need for level translators in mixed-logic systems |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-15TIN | 15 ns access, 32K × 8, 2.7–3.6V supply only - no 5V operation | Requires level-shifting or regulator redesign for 5V systems | Select only if migrating to 3.3V architecture and revalidating timing margins |
| IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | 15 ns, 256K × 16, 3.3V supply, TSOP-44 package - wider data bus, different footprint | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign and bus-width adaptation | Choose for higher bandwidth needs but only with full hardware revision |
Compared with AS6C4008-15TIN and IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI, the CY7C199C-15PXC uniquely supports 5V operation in legacy DIP form factor with proven 15 ns timing at temperature, making it irreplaceable for drop-in upgrades of installed industrial base.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY7C199C-15PXC?
The CY7C199C-15PXC does not operate on a clock signal-it is an asynchronous SRAM. Its maximum effective throughput is governed by tRC (read cycle time) of 15 ns, enabling up to ~66.7 MHz random access bursts when interfaced with appropriate address/data setup/hold timing. No internal oscillator or PLL is present.
Does CY7C199C-15PXC support battery backup operation?
Yes-CY7C199C-15PXC guarantees data retention at VCC = 2.0V with ICCDR ≤150 µA, meeting JEDEC JESD22-A107 requirements. This allows direct connection to a 3V lithium coin cell or supercapacitor for hold-mode backup without external regulators or switches.
Can CY7C199C-15PXC be used in place of CY7C199-15PC?
Yes-CY7C199C-15PXC is the Pb-free (RoHS-compliant) revision of CY7C199-15PC. Both share identical timing, pinout, DC characteristics, and package dimensions. The "C" suffix denotes the lead-free version; no design changes or derating are required for substitution.
Is thermal derating required for CY7C199C-15PXC in a 70°C ambient environment?
No thermal derating is needed for commercial-grade CY7C199C-15PXC (0°C to +70°C). Its ΘJA = 69.33°C/W in DIP package ensures junction temperature remains within safe limits (<125°C) at 80 mA ICC and 70°C ambient, assuming standard 2-layer PCB layout per datasheet Figure 5.
