Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-20VXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 20 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply range, TTL-compatible I/Os, automatic CE-controlled power-down, and 2.0V data retention. It operates across industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) and is packaged in 28-pin TSOP I (Z28), supporting memory buffering in legacy microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-20VXC datasheet, CY7C199C-20VXC pinout, CY7C199C-20VXC application, or CY7C199C-20VXC equivalent, key selection criteria include access timing consistency across voltage variation, low standby current (500 µA), CE-driven power management, and compatibility with 5V bus architectures requiring non-volatile data hold at reduced VCC.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-20VXC implements a fully asynchronous SRAM interface with independent CE, OE, and WE controls enabling flexible read/write sequencing. Its internal architecture includes address decoding logic, sense amplifiers, and an automated power-down circuit triggered when CE remains high, reducing ICC to 500 µA without external control signals.
All timing parameters-including tRC (20 ns), tAA (20 ns), tACE (20 ns), and tHZCE (9 ns)-are specified under industrial temperature and full VCC range (4.5V–5.5V). Data retention is guaranteed at VCC = 2.0V with tCDR = 0 ns and tR = 200 µs recovery, confirming true low-voltage hold capability without refresh.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 Kbit (32K × 8) - supports byte-wide data bus interfacing without multiplexing |
| Access Time | 20 ns - guarantees deterministic read latency for 50 MHz bus cycles in real-time control loops |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with legacy 5V TTL/CMOS logic families without level shifting |
| Standby Current | 500 µA - enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep without external gating |
| Data Retention VCC | 2.0V - maintains stored data during brown-out or backup battery operation |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial motor drives and instrumentation environments |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP I (Z28, 8 mm × 13.4 mm) - surface-mount compatible with high-density PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Thin Small Outline Package Type I (TSOP I), Z28 footprint, 8 mm × 13.4 mm body, 0.55 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus accepting 32K unique locations; no internal latching - requires stable address during CE/OE assertion |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when OE = VIH or CE = VIH, enabling bus sharing |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low device select; initiates automatic power-down when high, reducing ICC to 500 µA |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; output enters high-Z state within 9 ns of OE deassertion (tHZOE) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; write cycle completes in 20 ns (tWC); overlaps with CE for write initiation |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V ±10% core supply; powers all logic and memory array; decoupling required per datasheet layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Reference return for all signals and power; dedicated pin (Pin 21) minimizes ground bounce in high-speed access |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 20 ns Access Time | Guaranteed read latency at full industrial temperature and voltage range-enables direct interfacing with 50 MHz microcontrollers |
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces ICC to 500 µA without software intervention or external circuitry-ideal for intermittent-access embedded systems |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains valid memory contents during undervoltage events down to 2.0V-supports battery-backed hold without external supervisor ICs |
| TTL-Compatible I/Os | Accepts standard 5V TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and drives 4 mA high / 8 mA low-eliminates level translators |
| Three Package Options | Available in 28-pin DIP, SOJ, and TSOP I-enables drop-in replacement across prototyping (DIP), legacy repair (SOJ), and production (TSOP I) |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Legacy Microcontroller Data RAM |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Real-time I/O scanning in programmable logic controllers where deterministic memory access prevents scan-time jitter. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous byte-wide SRAM providing zero-wait-state data storage for register-mapped peripheral buffers. Use Value: 20 ns tAA ensures consistent 50 MHz bus timing across temperature; CE power-down cuts background current during idle scan phases. |
Use Scenario: External data RAM expansion for 8-bit MCUs (e.g., 8051, PIC18) in medical sensor concentrators with limited on-chip RAM. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-multiplexed parallel memory interface supporting MOVX-style read/write with single-cycle addressing. Use Value: TTL-compatible I/Os eliminate level shifters; 2.0V retention preserves calibration data during brief power loss. |
| Automotive Instrument Cluster Display Cache | Point-of-Sale Terminal Transaction Log |
|
Use Scenario: Storing dynamic display frame buffers in analog-dial instrument clusters where EMI resilience and thermal stability are critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability SRAM holding rendered UI segments between MCU updates; operates continuously at 85°C ambient. Use Value: Industrial temp rating (–40°C to +85°C) and 88.6°C/W ΘJA ensure safe junction temperature; low ICC reduces thermal load. |
Use Scenario: Local transaction logging in offline-capable retail terminals where data integrity must survive AC dropout or battery swap. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Write-critical buffer storing encrypted receipt headers before flash commit; powered by backup capacitor. Use Value: 2.0V data retention allows >100 ms hold time on 100 µF cap; tWC = 20 ns enables fast log entry during high-throughput sales bursts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 32K × 16 organization, 10 ns access, 3.3V only, LVTTL I/O | Requires bus width adaptation (16-bit vs. 8-bit) and 3.3V system redesign | Select only if migrating to 3.3V architecture and needing wider data path; not pin-compatible |
| AS6C4008-20ZIN | 512K × 8, 20 ns, 5.0V ±10%, same TSOP I package but 32-pin | Higher density but incompatible pin count and layout; no CE power-down feature | Use for capacity upgrade only after board revision; retains 5V compatibility but loses automatic low-power mode |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-20ZIN, the CY7C199C-20VXC uniquely combines 5V tolerance, CE-triggered 500 µA standby, and 28-pin TSOP I footprint-making it irreplaceable in cost-sensitive, thermally constrained 5V designs requiring proven industrial qualification.

FAQ
Is CY7C199C-20VXC RoHS-compliant?
Yes. The CY7C199C-20VXC is manufactured in Cypress's lead-free TSOP I package (Z28) and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Lead-free marking is indicated by the "-LF" suffix in ordering codes; this variant carries full exemption documentation per JEDEC J-STD-609.
Can CY7C199C-20VXC operate at 4.0V?
No. The absolute minimum VCC is 4.5V per Maximum Ratings (Document #38-05408 Rev. *B, Page 4). Operation below 4.5V risks data corruption, timing violation, or failure to retain data-even at 2.0V retention mode, VCC must be ≥4.5V during active read/write cycles.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst reads?
The CY7C199C-20VXC is asynchronous and has no clock input. Its maximum effective throughput is determined by tRC = 20 ns, yielding a theoretical maximum cycle rate of 50 MHz. Sustained burst reads require address setup/hold compliance per tSA/tHA (both 0 ns), meaning address changes must be complete before CE or OE assertion.
Does CY7C199C-20VXC support battery backup without external circuitry?
Yes-when VCC drops to 2.0V, the device automatically enters data retention mode with ICCDR ≤150 mA and no external control needed. However, a backup power source (e.g., coin cell or supercapacitor) and diode-OR circuit must be externally implemented to switch to the backup rail during main supply failure.
