Product details
Overview
CY7C199CN-15VXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply operation, TTL-compatible I/O, and automatic CE-controlled power-down mode. It delivers 80 mA active current and 500 µA CMOS standby current in a Pb-free 28-pin TSOP I package, used in legacy industrial controllers requiring nonvolatile data retention at 2.0V.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199CN-15VXC datasheet, CY7C199CN-15VXC pinout, CY7C199CN-15VXC application, or CY7C199CN-15VXC equivalent, key selection criteria include access timing consistency across temperature, low-power deselected state behavior, data retention voltage margin, and compatibility with 5V TTL bus interfaces in space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C199CN-15VXC 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 without external control logic.
It supports dual read/write modes: OE-controlled reads (with WE high) and CE- or WE-controlled writes (with OE high). Timing parameters are guaranteed over commercial (0°C to 70°C) and industrial (–40°C to 85°C) ranges, with tRC = 15 ns, tAA = 15 ns, and tPD = 15 ns - all specified at VCC = 4.5V–5.5V and load conditions per JEDEC standard AC test setup.
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) | 15 ns - ensures reliable read response within tight timing budgets of 5V CPU buses operating up to ~66 MHz. |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - supports stable operation across noisy 5V rail environments without regulation overhead. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 500 µA at VCC = 5.5V - enables low-power hold mode during system sleep without external power gating. |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V minimum - guarantees SRAM contents survive brown-out events down to 2.0V before backup battery takeover. |
| Package Type | 28-pin TSOP I (8 × 13.4 mm) - surface-mount footprint optimized for high-density industrial PCBs with reflow compatibility. |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-level inputs and outputs - eliminates need for level-shifting when interfacing with 5V logic families. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Thin Small Outline Package (TSOP I), 8 mm × 13.4 mm body, 0.55 mm lead pitch, Pb-free finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus accepting 32K unique locations; driven synchronously with CE/WE/OE for full random access. |
| IO0–IO7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; tri-stated when OE = high or CE = high, enabling shared bus topology. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low master select; forces device into automatic power-down (ISB ≤ 500 µA) when high. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for read data output; high-Z when high, even if CE is asserted. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal initiating write cycle; latches data on IOx when CE and WE both low. |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V ±10% core supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of Pin 7 per layout guidelines. |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power return reference; connected to Pin 21 for low-inductance grounding in TSOP I layout. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automated Power Down | CE-driven transition to ≤500 µA standby without external sequencing - simplifies low-power system design. |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains stored data at VCC ≥ 2.0V - extends functional uptime during undervoltage transients in industrial power systems. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2V min, VOL = 0.4V max - interoperates directly with 5V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs without translators. |
| Multiple Package Options | TSOP I, SOJ, and DIP variants - supports migration from through-hole prototyping to volume SMT production. |
| JEDEC-Compliant Timing | tRC = 15 ns, tPD = 15 ns, tHZOE = 7 ns - meets industry-standard asynchronous SRAM timing margins for robust bus timing closure. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Legacy Medical Device Data Cache |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-15TIN | 4 Mbit (512K × 8), 15 ns, 3.3V only, no 2.0V retention | Requires level translation for 5V systems; unsuitable for brown-out retention use cases | Select only if migrating to 3.3V architecture and higher density is needed. |
| IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | 4 Mbit (256K × 16), 15 ns, 3.3V, 16-bit bus, 2.0V retention supported | Wider data bus increases PCB routing complexity; incompatible with 8-bit legacy controllers | Choose only for new 16-bit designs where bus width and voltage match system architecture. |
Compared with AS6C4008-15TIN and IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI, the CY7C199CN-15VXC uniquely satisfies 5V TTL compatibility, 8-bit bus alignment, and guaranteed 2.0V data retention - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial and medical 5V systems requiring drop-in SRAM replacement.

FAQ
Is CY7C199CN-15VXC RoHS-compliant and Pb-free?
Yes. The "VXC" suffix denotes a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 28-pin TSOP I package, verified per Cypress Document #001-06435 Rev. *B. Lead finish is matte tin, and the device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 3 (MSL3) for standard reflow profiles.
Does CY7C199CN-15VXC support battery backup operation?
Yes. It maintains data integrity at VCC ≥ 2.0V with ICCDR ≤ 150 µA, enabling direct connection to a backup lithium coin cell or supercapacitor without external regulators or switches - confirmed in the Data Retention Characteristics table on page 7 of the datasheet.
What is the maximum clock frequency this SRAM can support in practice?
While asynchronous, its 15 ns access time supports effective bus rates up to 66 MHz in systems with zero wait-state controllers. Real-world throughput depends on CE/OE/WE assertion timing; the tRC = 15 ns minimum cycle time allows sustained 66.7 MHz read/write bursts when controlled by FPGA or ASIC with precise strobe alignment.
Can CY7C199CN-15VXC be used in automotive applications?
Yes - the "CY7C199CN" base part is qualified for Automotive-A grade (–40°C to +125°C junction), but the -15VXC variant is specified only for commercial (0°C to 70°C) and industrial (–40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges per the Operating Range table on page 4. Automotive use requires validation of board-level thermal design and derating.
