Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-15VC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply operation, TTL-compatible I/Os, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It delivers deterministic read/write timing in embedded microcontroller systems requiring nonvolatile data buffering with low standby current.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-15VC datasheet, CY7C199C-15VC pinout, CY7C199C-15VC application, or CY7C199C-15VC equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency across temperature, CMOS/TTL interface compatibility, data retention at 2.0V, and package-specific thermal resistance for industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-15VC implements a fully asynchronous memory interface with independent chip enable (CE), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls. Its internal architecture includes address decoding logic, sense amplifiers, and an automated power-down circuit triggered when CE remains high.
All timing parameters-including tRC (15 ns), tAA (15 ns), tACE (15 ns), and tPD (15 ns)-are guaranteed over commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges at VCC = 4.5V to 5.5V. Data retention operates down to 2.0V with ICCDR ≤ 150 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - supports byte-wide data bus interfacing without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns - guarantees valid data at I/O pins within 15 ns of stable address and CE assertion |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic rails and tolerant of board-level ripple |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during system sleep with CE inactive |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - preserves stored contents during brown-out or backup-battery operation |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and instrumentation |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds and output drive - interoperable with legacy 5V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
Available in 28-pin SOJ (300-mil), 28-pin DIP, and 28-pin TSOP I packages. Pin functions are identical across all variants; mechanical dimensions and thermal resistance differ per package type.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 row/column select; latched on CE transition |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when OE = VIH or CE = VIH |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; initiates automatic power-down when high, enables read/write when low |
| OE | Output Enable | Controls output buffer state only; does not affect internal power state or write operations |
| WE | Write Enable | Asserts write cycle when low with CE low; defines write pulse width (tPWE ≥ 9 ns) |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V core supply; must be stable before address/data setup to meet tSA/tSD requirements |
| VSS | Ground Reference | Common return for all signals; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling into I/O lines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automated CE Power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 µA when CE is deasserted-no external control logic required |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains SRAM contents during brown-out or battery-backup scenarios without refresh |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Eliminates need for level translators when interfacing with legacy 5V microcontrollers |
| Low Capacitance Inputs | 8 pF max CIN/COUT-minimizes signal integrity degradation on high-speed address/data buses |
| Thermal Resistance (TSOP I) | ΘJA = 88.6°C/W-supports reliable operation in compact industrial enclosures without forced air |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Buffer | Legacy Microcontroller Memory Expansion |
|---|---|

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-15TQLI | 32K × 16 organization, 3.3V-only supply, 15 ns access, LVCMOS I/O | Requires data bus width adaptation and voltage translation for 5V systems | Select when migrating to 3.3V designs or needing wider data path; not drop-in for CY7C199C-15VC |
| ON Semiconductor MCM6295DW15 | 32K × 8, 5V, 15 ns, but no automatic power-down; higher ISB = 1 mA typical | Lacks low-power retention mode-unsuitable for battery-backed or intermittent operation | Choose only if legacy footprint compatibility is mandatory and power budget allows 100× higher standby draw |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI and MCM6295DW15, the CY7C199C-15VC uniquely combines 5V TTL compatibility, sub-10 µA standby, and 2.0V data retention-making it optimal for industrial 5V systems requiring robustness during supply transients.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required to retain data in CY7C199C-15VC?
Data retention is guaranteed at VCC = 2.0V with CE held high and inputs at valid logic levels. At this voltage, ICCDR remains ≤150 µA. Operation below 2.0V risks data loss; the device does not support retention at 1.8V or lower. This specification applies only to the L-version (CY7C199CL), which CY7C199C-15VC implements.
Can CY7C199C-15VC operate reliably at 85°C ambient temperature?
Yes-the CY7C199C-15VC is rated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) with full parameter compliance. Thermal resistance ΘJA = 88.6°C/W (TSOP I) means junction temperature stays within safe limits at 85°C ambient when power dissipation remains ≤150 mW, verified per AC and DC electrical specs in Rev. *C datasheet.
Is there a Pb-free version of CY7C199C-15VC available?
Yes-Cypress explicitly states Pb-free and non-Pb-free versions are available in all supported packages (SOJ, DIP, TSOP I). The CY7C199C-15VC part number refers to the leaded variant; Pb-free equivalents use suffixes like "-15VCZ" or "-15VCT", confirmed in Cypress packaging documentation and Digi-Key/Mouser listings.
How does automatic power-down behave when CE is toggled rapidly?
Automatic power-down activates only when CE remains high for ≥tPD (15 ns). Short CE pulses <15 ns do not trigger power-down; the device remains active. During rapid toggling, internal state is preserved, and tPU (0 ns) ensures immediate readiness upon next CE assertion-no wake-up delay is incurred.
