Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-20ZI 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, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It operates across industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C), delivers 75 mA max operating current, and retains data at 2.0V. Used in legacy embedded controllers and FPGA configuration memory buffers.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-20ZI datasheet, CY7C199C-20ZI pinout, CY7C199C-20ZI application, or CY7C199C-20ZI equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency, CE-triggered low-power mode, industrial-grade voltage tolerance, and TSOP I package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-20ZI implements a fully asynchronous SRAM interface with independent CE, OE, and WE controls enabling flexible read/write sequencing. Its internal architecture includes row/column decoders, sense amplifiers, and an automated power-down circuit activated when CE is deasserted.
It supports two distinct read modes (CE-controlled and OE-controlled) and two write modes (WE-controlled and CE-controlled), with timing parameters tightly specified for tRC (20 ns), tAA (20 ns), tHZCE (9 ns), and tPD (20 ns). Data retention is guaranteed at VCC = 2.0V with ≤150 µA ICCDR.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - provides byte-wide data bus interface without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns - determines minimum clock-to-data latency in microcontroller or FPGA glue logic |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - ensures robust operation across industrial power rail variations |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 500 µA - enables ultra-low-power hold state during system sleep with CE high |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - allows memory contents to persist during brown-out or backup battery operation |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, automotive body electronics, and telecom line cards |
| Output Drive Strength | IOL = 8.0 mA / IOH = –4.0 mA - meets TTL load requirements without external buffers |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP I (8 mm × 13.4 mm), lead-free, surface-mount compatible.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word addressing; no multiplexing required |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path with high-impedance tri-state control via OE/CE/WE |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary device select; triggers automatic power-down when high (TTL/CMOS compatible threshold) |
| OE | Output Enable | Controls output buffer enable; does not affect power state - used for read gating only |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle when CE is asserted and OE is high |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V core supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin 7 per layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power ground reference; connected to pin 21 for low-inductance return path |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces standby current to 500 µA without external control logic or sleep-mode firmware overhead |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Eliminates level-shifting components when interfacing with legacy 5V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Preserves RAM contents during main supply interruption, enabling fast wake-from-brownout recovery |
| Multiple Package Options | TSOP I footprint (Z28) supports high-density PCB layouts; also available in DIP and SOJ for prototyping and repair |
| Industrial Temperature Rating | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in uncontrolled environments like factory floors and outdoor enclosures |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | FPGA Configuration Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stores real-time I/O mapping tables and process state variables in programmable logic controllers with intermittent power cycles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous byte-wide SRAM providing deterministic 20 ns read/write access for scan-cycle execution. Use Value: Enables zero-latency state restoration after brief power loss due to 2.0V data retention and CE-driven auto-sleep. | Use Scenario: Holds partial reconfiguration bitstreams for Xilinx Spartan or Lattice MachXO FPGAs during field updates. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-volatile configuration cache accessed via parallel bus during FPGA boot or dynamic reconfig sequences. Use Value: Eliminates need for external serial flash buffering; TTL-compatible I/O simplifies interface to FPGA's dedicated configuration pins. |
| Legacy Microcontroller Expansion | Telecom Line Card Data Log |
Use Scenario: Adds external RAM to 8051- or Z80-based systems where on-chip memory is insufficient for protocol stack buffers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Memory-mapped peripheral responding to address decode logic with CE/Ax inputs. Use Value: Matches 5V bus timing without wait states; 28-pin TSOP I fits tight board spacing constraints typical in retro-computing upgrades. | Use Scenario: Captures error logs and diagnostic snapshots in E1/T1 line interface units requiring persistent storage between resets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port accessible memory bank written by DSP core and read by management MCU over shared bus. Use Value: Industrial temp rating and 500 µA standby current support 24/7 operation in fanless telecom chassis with thermal cycling. |
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-20TQLI | 32K × 16 organization, 3.3V-only supply, 20 ns access, 32-pin TSOP II | Requires data bus width adaptation; incompatible with 5V systems and 28-pin footprints | Select only if migrating to 3.3V architecture and needing 16-bit data path |
| ON Semiconductor MCM6295DZP | 32K × 8, 5V, 25 ns access, 28-pin DIP only, no data retention spec | Lacks 2.0V retention and TSOP I option; higher 100 µA standby current | Acceptable for cost-sensitive DIP-based prototypes where retention and low power are non-critical |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-20TQLI and MCM6295DZP, the CY7C199C-20ZI uniquely combines 5V tolerance, 28-pin TSOP I packaging, 20 ns speed, and guaranteed 2.0V data retention - making it irreplaceable in industrial 5V systems requiring compact, low-power, drop-in SRAM.

FAQ
Is CY7C199C-20ZI RoHS compliant?
Yes. The "ZI" suffix denotes lead-free, RoHS-compliant construction per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. The TSOP I package uses matte tin terminations and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) requirements for standard SMT assembly.
Can CY7C199C-20ZI operate at 3.3V?
No. The device is specified only for 5.0V ±10% (4.5V–5.5V). Operation below 4.5V violates DC electrical specifications: VIH minimum drops to 2.2V, but VCC < 4.5V risks failure of internal logic thresholds and invalidates tAA/tRC timing guarantees.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for burst reads?
The CY7C199C-20ZI is asynchronous - it has no clock input. Maximum effective throughput is governed by tRC = 20 ns, yielding up to 50 MHz sustained random-access rate. Burst reads require external address sequencing; no internal burst counter or page mode is implemented.
Does CY7C199C-20ZI support battery backup operation?
Yes. With VCC reduced to 2.0V and CE held high, the device retains data while drawing ≤150 µA (ICC DR). This mode requires external circuitry to switch VCC to a backup source (e.g., coin cell) upon main supply failure, and is validated per datasheet Note 8 for the "L-version" - which includes the -20ZI variant.
