Product details
Overview
CY7C199CN-12VXAT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, 5.0 V ±10% supply voltage, TTL-compatible I/O, and automatic CE-controlled power-down mode. It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and supports high-speed memory interfacing in microcontroller-based systems requiring deterministic read/write timing.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199CN-12VXAT datasheet, CY7C199CN-12VXAT pinout, CY7C199CN-12VXAT application, or CY7C199CN-12VXAT equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency under CE/OE/WE control, low standby current (≤500 µA), data retention at 2.0 V, and compatibility with legacy 28-pin DIP/SOJ/TSOP I footprints.
Technical Context
The CY7C199CN-12VXAT implements a fully asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent address decoding, sense amplifier array, and bidirectional I/O buffers. Its operation relies on three active-low control signals-CE, OE, and WE-to manage chip select, output enable, and write enable states without clock dependency.
Power management is handled via dual-mode automatic power-down: ISB1 (TTL-input compatible, ≤30 mA) activates when CE ≥ VIH and inputs are valid; ISB2 (CMOS-input optimized, ≤10 µA) engages when CE ≥ VCC – 0.3 V and all inputs are near rail. Data retention remains guaranteed down to VCC = 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 150 µA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - provides byte-wide data bus interface with 15 address lines (A0–A14) |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns - guarantees data validity within 12 ns after stable address assertion, critical for tight CPU wait-state timing |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard 5 V logic rails with ±10% tolerance, compatible with legacy industrial power supplies |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | ≤500 µA - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during system sleep, reducing idle power by >99% vs active mode |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V - maintains stored data integrity during brown-out or backup-battery operation without refresh |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded systems including instrumentation and peripheral controllers |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds / 4 mA drive - ensures direct interfacing with 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP I (8 mm × 13.4 mm), RoHS-compliant, lead-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Input | 15-bit address bus - selects one of 32,768 memory locations; A0 is LSB, A14 is MSB |
| IO0–IO7 | Input/Output | 8-bit bidirectional data bus - transfers data during read (output) or write (input) cycles |
| CE | Control | Chip Enable - active-low signal enabling memory access; drives device into ISB2 standby when high |
| OE | Control | Output Enable - active-low control of data bus drivers; places IOx in high-Z when disabled |
| WE | Control | Write Enable - active-low signal initiating write cycle; latches data on falling edge when CE is asserted |
| VCC | Supply | +5.0 V core power - must be decoupled locally; powers internal logic and I/O buffers |
| VSS | Supply | Ground reference - common return path for all internal circuits and I/O signals |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 12 ns access time with full address-to-data timing | Enables zero-wait-state operation with 80 MHz CPU interfaces using standard 5 V timing margins |
| Automatic CE-driven power-down (ISB2) | Reduces standby current to ≤500 µA without external control logic or sleep-mode firmware overhead |
| 2.0 V data retention capability | Preserves memory contents during undervoltage events or battery-backed hold modes without external supervision |
| TTL-compatible I/O with 4 mA drive strength | Direct connection to legacy 5 V microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, PIC18F) without buffer ICs or resistive termination |
| Pb-free 28-pin TSOP I package | Meets RoHS requirements while maintaining mechanical and thermal compatibility with existing PCB layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-12TIN | Same 32K × 8 organization, 12 ns access, but uses 2.7–3.6 V supply only | Requires level-shifting or separate 3.3 V rail; incompatible with 5 V-only systems | Select only if migrating to lower-voltage platform with compatible I/O standards |
| IS61LV25616AL-12TQLI | 16-bit bus (256K × 16), 12 ns, 3.3 V supply, different pinout and control logic | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign and address/data bus re-mapping | Choose for higher bandwidth needs where 16-bit data path justifies layout change |
Compared with AS6C4008-12TIN and IS61LV25616AL-12TQLI, the CY7C199CN-12VXAT uniquely supports 5 V operation with TTL compatibility and 28-pin TSOP I footprint-making it the only drop-in replacement for legacy 5 V designs requiring no voltage translation or board revision.

FAQ
Is CY7C199CN-12VXAT compatible with 3.3 V systems?
No. The CY7C199CN-12VXAT is specified for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation only. Its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –4 mA) are optimized for 5 V TTL logic. Interfacing with 3.3 V controllers requires level-shifting circuitry to prevent overvoltage damage and ensure reliable signal recognition.
What happens to data during power-down mode?
When CE is deasserted (high), the device enters automatic power-down mode with ISB2 current ≤500 µA. Data remains fully retained as long as VCC stays ≥2.0 V. No external refresh or backup power is needed-the SRAM cells maintain state indefinitely under these conditions, verified per data sheet Note 8 and Table "Data Retention Characteristics".
Can OE and WE be tied together for simplified control?
No. OE controls output driver enablement (affects IOx high-Z state), while WE controls write latching. Tying them violates timing requirements: tHZOE (5–9 ns) and tHZWE (7–10 ns) differ, and simultaneous transitions may cause bus contention or metastability. The truth table explicitly defines separate functional roles-combining signals risks undefined data bus behavior during read-modify-write sequences.
Does CY7C199CN-12VXAT support battery backup operation?
Yes-explicitly designed for this use case. At VCC = 2.0 V, the device retains data with ICCDR ≤150 µA and tCDR = 0 ns (immediate entry to retention mode upon CE deassertion). This allows direct connection to coin-cell batteries or supercapacitors without additional supervisory ICs, as confirmed in the "Data Retention Characteristics" section (Page 6, Note 8).
