Product details
Overview
CY7C199CN-20ZXI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 20 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply operation, and automatic CE-controlled power-down mode. It supports TTL-compatible I/O, retains data down to 2.0V, and is packaged in Pb-free 28-pin TSOP I for space-constrained embedded memory buffering in industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199CN-20ZXI datasheet, CY7C199CN-20ZXI pinout, CY7C199CN-20ZXI application, or CY7C199CN-20ZXI equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency across temperature, low standby current (500 µA), data retention voltage margin, and compatibility with legacy 28-pin SRAM footprints in real-time control systems.
Technical Context
The CY7C199CN-20ZXI implements a fully asynchronous interface with independent CE, OE, and WE controls enabling flexible read/write sequencing. 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 logic.
It operates across industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) at 4.5V–5.5V, delivering guaranteed tAA = 20 ns and tRC = 20 ns under worst-case conditions. Input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4V at –4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4V at 8 mA) ensure robust interfacing with 5V TTL and CMOS microcontrollers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - provides byte-wide data bus alignment for 8-bit microcontrollers and peripherals. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns - ensures deterministic read latency in real-time interrupt service routines. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - supports stable operation across noisy industrial power rails with ±10% tolerance. |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 500 µA at VCC = 5.5V - enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep without external gating. |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - allows memory state preservation during brown-out events or battery-backed operation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in industrial automation and motor control enclosures. |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP I (8 × 13.4 mm) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and PCB area constraints. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Thin Small Outline Package Type I (TSOP I), Pb-free, 8 mm × 13.4 mm body, 0.55 mm lead pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Input | 15-bit address bus - selects one of 32K locations; A0 is LSB, A14 is MSB. |
| IO0–IO7 | Input/Output | 8-bit bidirectional data bus - shares pins for read and write; high-impedance when disabled. |
| CE | Control | Chip Enable - active-low; forces device into low-power ISB2 mode (500 µA) when high. |
| OE | Control | Output Enable - active-low; gates output drivers only; does not affect power state. |
| WE | Control | Write Enable - active-low; initiates write cycle when CE and WE both low; latches data on falling edge. |
| VCC | Supply | +5.0V core supply - must be decoupled locally; tolerates 4.5V–5.5V per spec. |
| VSS | Supply | Ground reference - dedicated pin (Pin 21) minimizes noise coupling in high-speed reads. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automated CE Power Down | Reduces ICC to 500 µA without external control logic or clock gating - simplifies low-power system design. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Accepts standard 5V TTL input levels (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and drives 4 mA high / 8 mA low - eliminates level-shifter requirements. |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains stored data during undervoltage events down to 2.0V - supports graceful shutdown and backup power transitions. |
| Low Capacitance I/O | Input/output capacitance ≤ 8 pF - minimizes signal distortion and timing skew on dense PCB traces. |
| Industrial Temp Range | Rated for –40°C to +85°C ambient - validated for continuous operation in unventilated control cabinets and motor drive environments. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-20TIN | Same 32K × 8 organization, 20 ns access, but uses 2.7V–3.6V supply - incompatible with 5V systems. | Requires level translation or separate 3.3V rail; unsuitable for direct 5V TTL replacement. | Select only if migrating to lower-voltage platform with redesign of power and I/O interfaces. |
| IS61LV25616AL-20TQLI | 32K × 8, 20 ns, 3.3V core, but offers 16-bit bus option and higher speed grades; pinout differs (32-pin TSOP). | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign and may over-specify for simple byte-wide buffering needs. | Consider only when future scalability to wider data paths or lower voltage is planned. |
Compared with AS6C4008-20TIN and IS61LV25616AL-20TQLI, the CY7C199CN-20ZXI uniquely delivers verified 5V TTL compatibility, industrial temperature support, and true drop-in replacement capability in existing 28-pin TSOP I layouts - critical for sustaining legacy industrial designs.

FAQ
Is CY7C199CN-20ZXI RoHS compliant and Pb-free?
Yes. The "X" suffix in -20ZXI denotes Pb-free construction per JEDEC J-STD-609, confirmed in Cypress Document #001-06435 Rev. *B. The TSOP I package uses matte tin terminations and complies with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and China RoHS.
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by CY7C199CN-20ZXI?
The device has no clock input and operates asynchronously. Its maximum effective throughput is governed by tRC = 20 ns, yielding up to 50 MHz sustained read/write cycling. Timing is controlled solely by CE, OE, and WE signal edges per the truth table on page 3 of the datasheet.
Can CY7C199CN-20ZXI interface directly with a 3.3V microcontroller?
No. Its inputs require VIH ≥ 2.2V but are rated for 5V operation only; driving from 3.3V logic violates the minimum VIH specification under worst-case VCC = 4.5V. A level translator or 5V-tolerant MCU I/O is required for reliable operation.
Does the automatic power-down feature require external circuitry to activate?
No. Power-down is fully automatic: asserting CE high (≥ VCC – 0.3V) immediately places the device in ISB2 mode (≤500 µA), regardless of OE or WE state. No external timer, enable signal, or configuration register is needed.
