Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-15VXCT 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 and retains data at 2.0V, supporting embedded microcontroller systems requiring fast, low-power non-volatile memory buffering in industrial control and instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-15VXCT datasheet, CY7C199C-15VXCT pinout, CY7C199C-15VXCT application, or CY7C199C-15VXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency across temperature, CMOS standby current (≤10 µA), VCC retention voltage (2.0V), and compatibility with legacy 28-pin SOJ/TSOP I/DIP footprints.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-15VXCT implements a fully asynchronous SRAM interface with independent chip enable (CE), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls. Its internal architecture includes row/column decoders, sense amplifiers, and an automated power-down circuit triggered when CE is deasserted.
It supports three timing grades (12/15/20 ns), with this variant specified for 15 ns max tAA and tRC. Data retention is guaranteed at 2.0V with ≤150 µA ICCDR, and it meets industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) under 5.0V ±10% supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - provides byte-wide data bus interface compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers and peripherals |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max - ensures reliable read response within tight timing windows of high-speed MCU buses |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - supports standard 5V logic rails with ±10% tolerance for industrial power variation |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V min - enables battery-backed operation during main power loss without data corruption |
| CMOS Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA max - reduces system quiescent power when deselected, critical for low-duty-cycle monitoring nodes |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment without derating or thermal management overhead |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-compatible - eliminates level-shifting requirements when interfacing with legacy 5V logic families |
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 for full 32K-word addressing |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when OE = VIH or CE = VIH |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low master select; initiates automatic power-down when high |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for data output gating; does not affect write operations |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal enabling write cycles; must overlap with CE LOW to store data |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V core supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin 7 per layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return for all signals and power; connected to pin 21 in TSOP I |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces ICC to 10 µA when CE is deasserted - eliminates need for external sleep controllers in intermittent-read systems |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains stored contents during brown-out or backup-battery operation - enables fail-safe state preservation |
| 15 ns Access Time | Meets timing budgets of 66 MHz CPU buses without wait states - simplifies interface design for legacy 8051/68K-based platforms |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Accepts 0.8V/2.0V logic thresholds and drives 2.4V/0.4V levels - interoperable with 74LS, 74HC, and microcontroller GPIOs |
| Three Package Options | SOJ, DIP, and TSOP I footprints - supports prototyping (DIP), legacy repair (SOJ), and high-density production (TSOP I) |

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 | Requires bus-width adaptation and voltage translation; higher density but incompatible pinout | Select only if 16-bit data path and 3.3V system integration are confirmed |
| ON Semiconductor MCM6295DW15 | 32K × 8, 5V, 15 ns, 28-pin SOJ - identical timing and voltage but obsolete with no Pb-free option | No RoHS compliance; limited distributor stock; no lifecycle support beyond 2012 | Use only for legacy repair; not recommended for new designs due to obsolescence risk |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI and MCM6295DW15, the CY7C199C-15VXCT offers verified RoHS-compliant TSOP I packaging, guaranteed 2.0V data retention, and active Cypress technical support - making it the preferred choice for new industrial designs requiring 5V compatibility and long-term supply stability.

FAQ
Is CY7C199C-15VXCT compatible with 3.3V systems?
No. The CY7C199C-15VXCT is strictly a 5V device with VCC specification of 4.5V–5.5V. Its inputs require TTL-level thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2V), and outputs drive 2.4V min at 4mA - it lacks 3.3V logic compatibility and will not operate reliably below 4.5V.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for read/write cycles?
The CY7C199C-15VXCT is asynchronous and has no clock input. Maximum effective bus frequency is determined by tRC = 15 ns, yielding a theoretical upper limit of ~66.7 MHz for consecutive read cycles - but actual achievable rate depends on controller setup/hold timing and bus loading.
Does this part support battery backup operation?
Yes. With VCC reduced to 2.0V and CE held high, the device retains data while drawing ≤150 µA (ICCDR). This mode requires external circuitry to switch VCC to a backup source during main power loss and maintain CE assertion.
Can CY7C199C-15VXCT be used in place of CY7C199-15VXCT?
Yes. The "C" suffix denotes the revised version with enhanced data retention (2.0V vs. earlier 3.0V), improved ISB2 (10 µA vs. 30 µA), and updated process. Pinout, timing, and DC specs are backward-compatible; the "C" version is a direct, superior replacement.
