Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-15VXC 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 low standby current (10 µA in CMOS mode), 2.0V data retention, and supports high-speed memory interfacing in embedded controllers and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-15VXC datasheet, CY7C199C-15VXC pinout, CY7C199C-15VXC application, or CY7C199C-15VXC equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency across temperature, CE-triggered power-down behavior, I/O capacitance (8 pF), output drive strength (–4 mA VOH / 8 mA VOL), and compatibility with legacy 5V bus architectures requiring 28-pin SOJ/DIP/TSOP I footprints.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-15VXC 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 is deasserted, reducing ICC to ≤10 µA under CMOS input conditions.
Timing is defined by overlapping control signals: write initiation requires concurrent CE and WE LOW, while read validity depends on tACE (15 ns max), tDOE (7 ns max), and tHZOE (7 ns max). All AC parameters are specified at VCC = 5.0V, TA = 0°C to 70°C, with 30 pF load and 3 ns input rise/fall times.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - supports byte-wide data bus without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max - ensures reliable read timing in 66 MHz CPU bus cycles |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and legacy industrial power supplies |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA max - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during system sleep states |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min - preserves memory contents during brown-out or backup battery operation |
| I/O Capacitance | 8 pF - limits signal integrity degradation on long PCB traces at 20+ MHz toggle rates |
| Output Drive | –4 mA VOH / 8 mA VOL - meets TTL voltage thresholds while driving ≥10 LS-TTL loads |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin SOJ (300-mil), lead-free compliant, body size 11.43 mm × 12.7 mm × 2.54 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word addressing; no internal latching |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tri-state data path; high-impedance when CE=HIGH or OE=HIGH |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; triggers automatic power-down when HIGH (CMOS mode) |
| OE | Output Enable | Controls output buffer only; does not affect power state or write capability |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-LOW write strobe; write occurs only when CE and WE both LOW |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V core supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin 28 |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power return; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 µA without external control logic or sleep-mode registers |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Eliminates level-shifting components when interfacing with 5V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains stored data during undervoltage events down to 2.0V, enabling graceful shutdown |
| Low Input Capacitance | 8 pF per pin minimizes loading on address/data buses, preserving signal edge rates |
| Multiple Package Options | SOJ, DIP, and TSOP I footprints allow drop-in replacement across legacy and space-constrained designs |

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, 3.3V-only supply (3.0–3.6V), lower ISB (2 µA), no 5V tolerance | Requires level shifters or voltage translation in 5V systems; unsuitable for direct 5V bus replacement | Select only if migrating to 3.3V architecture and board redesign is feasible |
| IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | 15 ns access, 3.3V supply, 256K × 16 organization, different pinout (44-pin TSOP II) | Provides double data width but incompatible footprint and address mapping; not pin-compatible | Choose only for new designs needing wider bus and accepting full layout revision |
Compared with AS6C4008-15TIN and IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI, the CY7C199C-15VXC uniquely retains full 5V TTL compatibility, SOJ/DIP/TSOP I package flexibility, and CE-triggered power-down without voltage translation-making it irreplaceable in legacy 5V embedded upgrades.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY7C199C-15VXC?
The CY7C199C-15VXC is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated per its DC and AC electrical specifications in the official datasheet (Document #: 38-05408 Rev. *C), with all timing parameters guaranteed across this full span when VCC is maintained at 4.5V–5.5V.
Does CY7C199C-15VXC support true 5V-tolerant I/Os?
Yes - all inputs (A0–A14, CE, OE, WE) accept voltages up to VCC + 0.5V (max 6.0V), and outputs drive to valid TTL HIGH/LOW levels (2.4V/0.4V) at VCC = 4.5V minimum. This satisfies full 5V system interoperability without external clamping or level shifting.
How does the automatic power-down feature activate?
Power-down engages automatically when CE is driven HIGH while inputs meet CMOS thresholds (VIN ≥ VCC – 0.3V or VIN ≤ 0.3V). In this state, ICC drops to ≤10 µA. No additional control signals or configuration registers are required - activation is purely hardware-determined by CE and input voltage levels.
Can CY7C199C-15VXC be used in place of CY7C199-15VXC?
Yes - the "C" suffix denotes the commercial-grade version (0°C to 70°C), while the non-C variant is obsolete. The CY7C199C-15VXC maintains identical pinout, timing, and electrical specs, with enhanced manufacturing controls and Pb-free compliance. It is the recommended replacement per Cypress's product change notices.
