Product details
Overview
CY7C199CN-12ZXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply range, 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 data buffering in microcontroller-based systems requiring deterministic read/write timing.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199CN-12ZXCT datasheet, CY7C199CN-12ZXCT pinout, CY7C199CN-12ZXCT application, or CY7C199CN-12ZXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency under varying VCC, low standby current (≤500 µA), data retention at 2.0V, and compatibility with legacy 28-pin TSOP I footprint designs.
Technical Context
The CY7C199CN-12ZXCT 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 by CE high, reducing ICC to ≤500 µA during deselect.
All timing parameters-including tRC (12 ns), tAA (12 ns), tACE (12 ns), and tPD (12 ns)-are guaranteed over full VCC (4.5V–5.5V) and temperature (0°C–70°C). Data retention is maintained at VCC = 2.0V with ICCDR ≤150 µA, enabling battery-backed operation without external retention circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - provides byte-wide data path compatible with 8-bit microcontrollers and legacy bus architectures |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns - ensures sub-83 MHz synchronous interface compatibility when used with fast address setup |
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - supports standard 5V logic rails with ±10% tolerance for industrial-grade stability |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 500 µA max - enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep without external power gating |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - allows operation from backup coin cell or supercapacitor during main power loss |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 70°C - certified for commercial-grade embedded applications including instrumentation and peripherals |

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 | 12 ns access, 5V-only (4.5–5.5V), ISB = 1 µA typical - lower standby but no 2.0V retention | Lacks data retention below 3.0V; unsuitable for battery-backup scenarios | Select when ultra-low quiescent current is prioritized over retention voltage margin |
| IS61LV25616AL-12TQLI | 12 ns, 3.3V core (2.7–3.6V), 256K × 16 organization - wider data bus, different voltage domain | Requires level shifting for 5V systems; incompatible with byte-wide 8-bit buses | Choose only for new 3.3V designs needing higher bandwidth via 16-bit interface |
Compared with AS6C4008-12TIN and IS61LV25616AL-12TQLI, the CY7C199CN-12ZXCT uniquely balances 5V TTL compatibility, 12 ns speed, and 2.0V data retention-making it irreplaceable in legacy 5V systems requiring robust power-fail resilience without voltage translation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY7C199CN-12ZXCT?
The CY7C199CN-12ZXCT does not operate at a clock frequency-it is an asynchronous SRAM. Its maximum effective throughput is governed by tRC = 12 ns, yielding a theoretical upper limit of ~83 MHz for consecutive read/write cycles. Actual system speed depends on MPU bus timing, address setup/hold, and external wait-state logic.
Does CY7C199CN-12ZXCT support battery backup operation?
Yes. The device guarantees data retention down to VCC = 2.0V with ICCDR ≤150 µA, enabling direct connection to a lithium coin cell or supercapacitor for hold-mode operation during main power loss-no external controller or switch is required.
Can CY7C199CN-12ZXCT be used in place of CY7C199-12ZC?
Yes. CY7C199CN-12ZXCT is the Pb-free, TSOP I packaged variant of CY7C199-12ZC. Both share identical AC/DC specifications, pinout, and timing. The "N" suffix denotes lead-free compliance; "XCT" confirms TSOP I packaging per JEDEC MO-147AC.
Is thermal derating required for continuous operation at 70°C ambient?
No additional derating is required. The device is characterized across 0°C to 70°C with full parameter guarantees, including ΘJA = 88.6°C/W for TSOP I. Standard 2-layer PCB layout with adequate copper pour meets thermal requirements without heatsinking.
