Product details
Overview
CY7C199CN-15PXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256-Kbit (32 K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, 5.0 V ±10% supply range, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It operates across commercial temperature range (0 °C to 70 °C), supports TTL-compatible I/O, and retains data at 2.0 V-used in legacy industrial controllers requiring nonvolatile SRAM backup during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199CN-15PXC datasheet, CY7C199CN-15PXC pinout, CY7C199CN-15PXC application, or CY7C199CN-15PXC equivalent, key selection criteria include access timing consistency under 5 V operation, low standby current (≤500 pA), CE-gated power management, and DIP-28 footprint compatibility for through-hole board retrofits.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a fully asynchronous interface with independent address latch, write enable (WE), output enable (OE), and chip enable (CE) controls. Read and write cycles are defined by overlapping CE/WE/OE states per the truth table, with no internal clock or synchronization logic.
Power management relies on CE-driven automatic transition into low-power retention mode when deasserted, reducing ICC to ≤500 pA at VCC = 5.0 V. Data retention remains valid down to VCC = 2.0 V, enabling battery-backed hold functionality without external supervision circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32 K × 8), fixed parallel organization for byte-wide data bus interfacing |
| Access time | 15 ns max-guarantees read data validity within 15 ns after stable address and CE/OE assertion |
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V-supports standard +5 V rail with ±10% tolerance, compatible with legacy TTL systems |
| Standby current | ≤500 pA at VCC = 5.0 V-enables multi-year data retention on coin-cell backup |
| Data retention voltage | 2.0 V minimum-allows memory hold during deep brownout or controlled power-down sequences |
| Operating temperature | 0 °C to 70 °C-validated for commercial-grade embedded control and instrumentation applications |
| I/O compatibility | TTL input thresholds and output drive-interoperates directly with 74LS/74HC logic without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), through-hole mounting, JEDEC MS-011AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address input | 15-bit address bus (32 K locations); latched on CE assertion, no internal address register |
| IO0–IO7 | Bidirectional data I/O | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when OE = HIGH or CE = HIGH |
| CE | Chip enable | Active-low master select; initiates read/write and triggers automatic power-down when deasserted |
| OE | Output enable | Active-low control for data bus drivers; enables outputs only during read cycles when CE = LOW |
| WE | Write enable | Active-low signal qualifying write operations; sampled synchronously with CE to define write window |
| VCC | Power supply | +5 V core supply pin (Pin 28); requires local 0.1 µF decoupling |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power ground reference (Pin 14); must be low-inductance connection |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 15 ns access time | Meets cycle timing for 6502/Z80-based systems running at ≤33 MHz bus clock with wait-state-free operation |
| Automatic CE power-down | Reduces ICC to ≤500 pA without external control logic-eliminates need for sleep-mode sequencers |
| 2.0 V data retention | Preserves memory contents during undervoltage lockout (UVLO) or battery switchover events |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interface to legacy microprocessor buses (e.g., Intel 8085, Motorola 6800) without translation circuitry |
| Low standby power | Enables long-term storage of configuration or calibration data in unpowered systems using supercapacitor hold-up |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-15PCN | Same 32 K × 8 organization and 15 ns access, but 3.3 V only (2.7–3.6 V); no 5 V support | Requires level-shifting or voltage conversion when replacing in +5 V systems | Select only if migrating entire system to 3.3 V and redesigning power delivery |
| IS61LV25616AL-15KLI | Wider 16-bit bus (16 K × 16), 3.3 V core, LVCMOS I/O; not pin-compatible | Needs PCB redesign and address/data bus remapping due to different pinout and bus width | Consider only for new designs targeting higher bandwidth and lower power, not drop-in replacement |
Compared with AS6C4008-15PCN and IS61LV25616AL-15KLI, CY7C199CN-15PXC uniquely supports legacy 5 V TTL systems without voltage translation while delivering guaranteed 15 ns timing and sub-nA standby-critical for cost-sensitive, long-lifecycle industrial retrofits.

FAQ
Is CY7C199CN-15PXC RoHS-compliant?
Yes. The -15PXC suffix indicates lead-free (Pb-free) construction per RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The device uses matte tin lead finish and complies with JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL-3) for surface-mount variants; this DIP version is exempt from MSL classification but conforms to same material restrictions.
Can CY7C199CN-15PXC operate at 3.3 V?
No. The device is specified only for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation. Attempting 3.3 V supply results in undefined behavior, including failure to meet 15 ns access time, increased standby current, and potential data corruption. It lacks 3.3 V logic threshold compliance or internal voltage regulation.
What is the maximum operating frequency supported?
The CY7C199CN-15PXC does not use a clock; it is asynchronous. Its maximum effective throughput is governed by tRC = 15 ns, supporting up to ~66.7 MHz random-access cycle rate. Sustained burst reads/writes depend on external controller timing margins and bus capacitance-not an internal oscillator or PLL.
Does it require external pull-up resistors on IO pins?
No. The IO0–IO7 pins have active drivers in both directions and do not require external pull-ups. During high-impedance states (CE = HIGH or OE = HIGH), leakage is limited to ±5 pA-sufficient for clean bus sharing without termination. Pull-ups may cause contention or excess current if enabled during active drive.
