Product details
Overview
CY7C199C-25PC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 25 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply range, TTL-compatible I/Os, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and supports legacy microprocessor bus interfaces in embedded controllers and industrial instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199C-25PC datasheet, CY7C199C-25PC pinout, CY7C199C-25PC application, or CY7C199C-25PC equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency at 25 ns, low standby current (500 µA), 2.0V data retention capability, and compatibility with 28-pin DIP packaging for through-hole PCB integration.
Technical Context
The CY7C199C-25PC implements a fully asynchronous memory 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 two primary read modes (CE-controlled and OE-controlled) and two write modes (WE-controlled and CE-controlled), with timing parameters fully specified for 25 ns operation - including tRC = 25 ns, tAA = 25 ns, tACE = 25 ns, and tHZCE = 9 ns - ensuring deterministic bus timing in non-pipelined systems.
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 legacy peripherals |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns - guarantees data validity within 25 ns after address stabilization, meeting timing budgets for 20 MHz bus systems |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic domains without level-shifting |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 500 µA - enables low-power hold mode during processor idle cycles without external power gating |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V - maintains stored data during brown-out or controlled power-down sequences |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded applications with no derating required |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-compatible - ensures direct interfacing with 74LS, 74F, and early microprocessor families (e.g., Z80, 8085) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic DIP (Dual In-line Package), 0.6-inch width, through-hole mountable. Pin pitch: 0.1 inch (2.54 mm).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 to select one of 32K memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path supporting read and write transfers without separate data direction control |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; disables all internal operations and activates automatic power-down when high |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for data bus drivers; places I/O pins in high-impedance state when disabled |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal initiating write cycle; latches data on rising edge when CE is asserted |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V core supply; must be stable within ±10% to meet AC timing and DC leakage specifications |
| VSS | Ground Reference | 0V return path for all signals and internal circuitry; requires low-inductance connection to minimize noise coupling |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automatic CE Power-down | Reduces ICC to 500 µA when CE is deasserted - eliminates need for external sleep-mode logic |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains valid memory contents during brown-out or backup battery operation below nominal VCC |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Accepts standard 0.8V/2.0V logic thresholds and drives 4mA HIGH / 8mA LOW - interoperable with legacy logic families |
| Multiple Package Options | 28-pin DIP variant (P21) supports prototyping, repair, and legacy board rework without redesign |
| Low Input Capacitance | 8 pF max per input pin - minimizes bus loading and preserves signal integrity on long traces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 25 ns access, 5V-only (no ±10% tolerance), 300 µA ISB, 28-pin SOJ only | Lacks DIP package; lower standby current but narrower voltage margin | Select if SOJ footprint is fixed and tighter VCC regulation is available |
| IS61LV25616AL-25TQLI | 25 ns access, 3.3V supply, 32K × 16 organization, 44-pin TSOP II | Wider data bus, different voltage domain, incompatible pinout and package | Choose only when migrating to 3.3V systems and requiring 16-bit data path |
Compared with AS6C4008-25ZIN and IS61LV25616AL-25TQLI, the CY7C199C-25PC uniquely combines 5V ±10% operation, 28-pin DIP availability, and 2.0V data retention - making it irreplaceable in legacy 5V designs requiring physical and electrical backward compatibility.

FAQ
Is CY7C199C-25PC RoHS-compliant?
Yes. The CY7C199C-25PC is offered in a lead-free 28-pin DIP variant (documented in the datasheet Rev. *B as "Also available in Lead-Free 28 DIP"). It meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements with homogeneous lead content below 1000 ppm and no restricted substances above threshold limits.
Can CY7C199C-25PC operate at 4.5V while maintaining 25 ns access time?
Yes. The device is fully characterized across 4.5V to 5.5V. All AC timing parameters-including tAA = 25 ns and tRC = 25 ns-are guaranteed at VCC = 4.5V and TA = 70°C, per the "DC Electrical Characteristics Over the Operating Range (–25)" table on page 5 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum capacitive load the I/O pins can drive reliably?
The CY7C199C-25PC specifies output drive strength of IOH = –4.0 mA and IOL = 8.0 mA at VCC = 4.5V. With typical output impedance of ~30 Ω and 8 pF pin capacitance, it reliably drives up to 30 pF total load (including trace and receiver input capacitance) while meeting tDOE ≤ 9 ns and VOL ≤ 0.4 V.
Does CY7C199C-25PC require external pull-up resistors on control lines?
No. All control inputs (CE, OE, WE) have TTL-compatible thresholds and do not require external pull-ups. Internal input leakage is ±5 µA (IIX), and VIH/VIL specs ensure robust noise margins without external biasing - provided PCB layout avoids floating nodes and excessive trace length.
