Product details
Overview
CY7C199CN-15ZXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 15 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 retains data at 2.0V, supporting embedded microcontroller systems requiring fast, low-power volatile memory for boot code or buffer storage.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199CN-15ZXC datasheet, CY7C199CN-15ZXC pinout, CY7C199CN-15ZXC application, or CY7C199CN-15ZXC equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency, standby current under CE deassertion, data retention voltage margin, and compatibility with legacy 28-pin DIP/SOJ/TSOP I footprint designs.
Technical Context
The CY7C199CN-15ZXC implements a fully asynchronous SRAM 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 ≤10 µA in CMOS-input mode.
It supports two primary operation modes: OE-controlled read (with WE high) and WE-controlled write (with OE high). Timing is defined by tRC (15 ns), tAA (15 ns), tACE (15 ns), and tPD (15 ns), all guaranteed over full VCC (4.5–5.5V) and temperature range without refresh or clocking.
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 - guarantees valid data output within 15 ns after address stabilization, enabling direct interfacing with 66 MHz system buses. |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.5V to 5.5V - supports standard 5V logic rails with ±10% tolerance, eliminating need for external regulation in industrial 5V systems. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 10 µA - achieved when CE ≥ VCC – 0.3V and inputs held at rail, enabling ultra-low-power hold mode during processor sleep. |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - allows memory contents to persist during brown-out or backup-battery operation without external supervisor circuitry. |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-compatible - accepts VIH ≥ 2.2V and VIL ≤ 0.8V, ensuring interoperability with 74LS, 8051, and Z80 families without level-shifting. |
| Package Type | 28-pin TSOP I (8 × 13.4 mm) - surface-mount form factor optimized for high-density PCB layouts while maintaining pinout compatibility with SOJ and DIP variants. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Thin Small Outline Package Type I (TSOP I), 8 mm × 13.4 mm body, 0.55 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 row/column select; A0 is LSB, A14 is MSB for 32K-word addressing. |
| IO0–IO7 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 8-bit parallel data path; driven high-Z when CE or OE inactive, enabling bus sharing with other peripherals. |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; asserts internal power-down when high, reducing ICC to 10 µA without external control logic. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; enables output drivers only when CE is low and OE is low-prevents bus contention during writes. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle when CE and WE both low; timing referenced to WE leading edge per tPWE (9 ns min). |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V ±10% core supply; powers all logic and array circuits; decoupling required within 10 mm of Pin 7. |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power return reference; connected to Pin 21; must be low-inductance plane for noise immunity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automated CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC to 10 µA without external sequencing-eliminates need for dedicated power management ICs in battery-backed systems. |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains stored data during undervoltage events down to 2.0V, enabling seamless recovery after power interruption without software reload. |
| 15 ns Guaranteed Access | Meets timing closure for 66 MHz CPU buses without wait states, directly supporting legacy x86, 8051, and Motorola 68K-based designs. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Interfaces natively with 74LS, 74F, and microcontroller GPIOs without level translators-reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Pb-Free TSOP I Packaging | RoHS-compliant 28-pin TSOP I footprint ensures drop-in replacement for legacy SOJ/DIP versions while supporting modern SMT assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ISSI IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | 32K × 16 organization, 3.3V-only supply, 15 ns access, 44-pin TSOP II | Requires data bus width adaptation and voltage translation; not pin-compatible | Select if 16-bit data path and lower VCC are prioritized over 5V legacy compatibility. |
| ON Semiconductor MCM6295DW15 | 32K × 8, 5V, 15 ns, but uses 28-pin SOJ only; no TSOP I option; higher ISB (500 µA) | Limited to through-hole or SOJ assembly; lacks low-power CE auto-down feature | Choose only for SOJ-only production lines where TSOP I reflow is unavailable. |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI and MCM6295DW15, the CY7C199CN-15ZXC uniquely combines 5V TTL compatibility, 10 µA CE-triggered standby, and TSOP I packaging-making it the sole option for drop-in replacement in existing 28-pin 5V SRAM designs requiring minimal power during idle.

FAQ
Is CY7C199CN-15ZXC compatible with 3.3V systems?
No. The device requires 4.5V to 5.5V VCC and is not 3.3V tolerant. Applying 3.3V will result in undefined operation and failure to meet 15 ns access timing. It is strictly a 5V TTL-compatible part, intended for legacy 5V designs.
Does CY7C199CN-15ZXC require an external clock or refresh signal?
No. It is a fully asynchronous static RAM with no clock input or refresh requirement. Data retention is maintained as long as VCC remains ≥2.0V and CE is asserted; no periodic access or timing controller is needed.
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY7C199CN-15ZXC?
The device does not operate at a fixed frequency. Its maximum effective throughput is governed by tRC = 15 ns, allowing up to 66.7 million read/write cycles per second in ideal conditions. System bus speed depends on controller timing margins, not internal clocking.
Can CY7C199CN-15ZXC be used in automotive applications?
The -15ZXC suffix denotes commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C). For automotive use, Cypress specifies the Automotive-A grade variant (e.g., CY7C199CN-15AXC), which is qualified to –40°C to +85°C and meets AEC-Q100 requirements-this part is not automotive-qualified.
