Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-15VI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/Os, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It operates across 4.5V–5.5V, retains data at 2.0V, and draws only 10 µA in CMOS standby mode. Used in legacy industrial controllers and embedded instrumentation where deterministic timing and low-power deselected operation are required.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-15VI datasheet, CY7C199C-15VI pinout, CY7C199C-15VI application, or CY7C199C-15VI equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 15 ns tRC/tAA timing, VCC = 5.0V ±10% compliance, 28-pin SOJ/TSOP I/DIP package mapping, and automatic CE-driven power-down behavior under deselected conditions.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-15VI implements a full asynchronous SRAM interface with independent CE, OE, and WE controls-no clock or synchronization logic required. Its internal array uses standard CMOS six-transistor cells, supporting true random-access read/write without refresh cycles.
Power management relies on dual-mode automatic power-down: ISB1 (30 µA) for TTL-level inputs when CE ≥ VIH, and ISB2 (10 µA) for CMOS-level inputs when CE ≥ VCC – 0.3V. 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 interfacing without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA / tRC) | 15 ns - guarantees valid data within 15 ns of address/CE assertion for synchronous system integration |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy power domains |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA - enables ultra-low-power hold state during processor sleep or idle modes |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - maintains stored contents during brown-out or backup-battery operation |
| Input Compatibility | TTL-compatible VIH/VIL - interfaces directly with 5V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting |
| Package Type | 28-pin SOJ (300-mil) - surface-mount variant optimized for high-density PCB layouts with JEDEC-standard footprint |
Pinout & Package
28-pin SOJ (300-mil) molded package with gull-wing leads, 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant. Pin 1 marked by notch or dot; pin 14 = VSS (ground), pin 28 = VCC (5V supply).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 row selection; no internal latching - requires stable address before CE assertion |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when OE = VIH or CE = VIH - enables bus sharing |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low primary device select; initiates automatic power-down when deasserted (≥ VIH) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output buffer; does not affect power state - used for read gating only |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; combined with CE LOW to define write cycle window per AC timing table |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V ±10% supply input; decoupling capacitor required at pin 28 per layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return path for all signals and internal circuitry; connected to system ground plane at pin 14 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 µA when CE is deasserted - eliminates need for external power-gating logic |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains memory contents during undervoltage events down to 2.0V - supports battery-backed hold mode |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Accepts standard 5V TTL logic thresholds (VIH = 2.2V, VIL = 0.8V) - direct interface with legacy microcontrollers |
| Low Capacitance I/Os | Input/output capacitance ≤ 8 pF - minimizes signal loading and timing skew on high-speed buses |
| Multiple Package Options | SOJ, TSOP I, and DIP variants share identical pinout and timing - enables drop-in replacement across form factors |

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, 44-pin TSOP II | Wider data bus but incompatible voltage and pinout - requires PCB redesign and level translation | Select only if migrating to 3.3V systems and needing 16-bit data path; not drop-in |
| ON Semiconductor MCM6295DWX | 32K × 8, 5V, 15 ns, 28-pin SOJ - identical pinout and timing but higher ISB2 (25 µA) | Same physical and electrical interface - validated for industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) | Preferred for new designs requiring extended temperature support and RoHS-compliant sourcing |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI, CY7C199C-15VI offers direct 5V compatibility and SOJ footprint reuse; versus MCM6295DWX, it delivers lower standby current (10 µA vs. 25 µA) but lacks extended lifecycle support beyond 2015.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY7C199C-15VI?
The CY7C199C-15VI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This rating is explicitly confirmed in the "Operating Range" table on page 4 of the official datasheet (Document #: 38-05408 Rev. *C), and applies to all package variants including the SOJ version denoted by the '-15VI' suffix.
Does CY7C199C-15VI support true bidirectional I/O without external direction control?
Yes - the I/O0–I/O7 pins are internally managed bidirectional data lines. Direction is controlled solely by OE and WE states: outputs enabled when OE = LOW and CE = LOW during reads; inputs latched when WE = LOW and CE = LOW during writes. No external transceiver or direction pin is required.
Can CY7C199C-15VI operate reliably at 4.5V supply voltage?
Yes - the device is fully specified across 4.5V to 5.5V per its "Wide voltage range: 5.0V ± 10%" feature. All AC and DC parameters, including 15 ns access time and 10 µA ISB2 standby current, are guaranteed at VCC = 4.5V as confirmed in the "DC Electrical Characteristics" table (page 4) and "Operating Range" section.
Is there a Pb-free version of CY7C199C-15VI available?
Yes - the datasheet explicitly states availability in both Pb-free and non-Pb-free versions. The '-15VI' suffix denotes the industrial-grade SOJ package; Pb-free compliance is indicated by the '-15VIT' or '-15VIX' suffix variants per Cypress's packaging nomenclature, and is verified in the "Product Portfolio" section on page 1.
