Product details
Overview
CY7C199CN-20ZXIT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K-bit (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 20 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, serving as main memory or buffer in microcontroller-based instrumentation and legacy industrial controllers.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199CN-20ZXIT datasheet, CY7C199CN-20ZXIT pinout, CY7C199CN-20ZXIT application, or CY7C199CN-20ZXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency under 5.0V operation, low standby current (≤500 µA), CE-driven power management, and compatibility with 28-pin TSOP I footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C199CN-20ZXIT implements a fully asynchronous SRAM interface with independent address latching, no internal clocks or refresh circuitry, and three-state bidirectional I/Os controlled by OE and CE. Its read/write timing is governed solely by external control signal transitions - CE, OE, and WE - with no internal state machine or pipeline.
Power management relies on CE assertion: when CE ≥ VCC – 0.3V (CMOS input threshold), the device enters low-power retention mode drawing ≤10 µA; when CE is active low, full operation resumes with ICC ≤75 mA at max frequency. Data retention at 2.0V is guaranteed without external bias or backup circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits - supports byte-wide data bus interfacing without multiplexing or external glue logic |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns - defines minimum address-to-valid-data delay for deterministic timing in 50 MHz-equivalent bus systems |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic rails and tolerant of typical board-level ripple |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | ≤500 µA - enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep without external power gating |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0V - allows battery-backed retention using single-cell LiFePO₄ or coin cell without voltage regulation |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade embedded systems including test equipment and point-of-sale terminals |
| Package Type | 28-pin TSOP I (8 × 13.4 mm) - surface-mount compatible with automated assembly and moderate thermal dissipation (ΘJA = 88.6°C/W) |
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 parallel latch-on-CE or latch-on-OE depending on control sequence |
| IO0–IO7 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 8-bit tri-state data bus; driven high-Z when CE or OE inactive, supports shared bus topology |
| CE | Chip Enable | Primary selection signal; asserts memory array and I/O drivers; enables automatic power-down when deasserted |
| OE | Output Enable | Controls output driver enable only; does not affect internal array power state or write capability |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle when CE is active; overlaps with CE for valid write window |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V 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 ground path in TSOP I |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 20 ns access time with full 5.0V operation | Enables direct interface with 8-bit microcontrollers (e.g., 8051 derivatives) running at ≤25 MHz system clock without wait states |
| Automatic CE-controlled power-down | Reduces standby current to ≤10 µA without requiring external control logic or firmware intervention |
| TTL-compatible inputs and outputs | Eliminates level-shifting components when interfacing with legacy 5V logic families (74LS, 74HC) |
| 2.0V data retention | Permits use of simple 2.0V backup source (e.g., supercapacitor or single LiFePO₄ cell) for nonvolatile data hold |
| Pb-free TSOP I package | Meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and supports lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020D) |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Legacy Test Equipment Data Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Stores real-time sensor acquisition buffers and configuration registers in modular I/O modules of DIN-rail mounted PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous byte-wide SRAM providing zero-wait-state memory access for ARM7-based controller peripherals.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Volatile overlay RAM loaded at boot from SPI flash; updated dynamically during firmware patching. Use Value: TTL-compatible I/O eliminates level translators needed for legacy 5V flash memory interfaces, reducing BOM count. |
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 | 20 ns access, same 32K × 8 organization, but requires 2.7V–3.6V supply; no 5V tolerance | Not suitable for 5V legacy systems; requires voltage translation or redesign of power rail | Select only if migrating to 3.3V platform and replacing all 5V peripherals |
| IS61LV25616AL-20TQLI | 256K × 16 organization, 3.3V-only, 20 ns access, LVCMOS I/O levels | Doubles data width but incompatible pinout and voltage; needs bus-width adaptation logic | Choose when upgrading to 16-bit data path and accepting full PCB redesign |
Compared with AS6C4008-20TIN and IS61LV25616AL-20TQLI, the CY7C199CN-20ZXIT uniquely supports direct drop-in replacement in existing 5V designs with identical 8-bit bus width, TSOP I footprint, and CE-driven power-down behavior-no voltage translation, bus widening, or timing recalibration required.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating current for CY7C199CN-20ZXIT under full read/write activity?
The maximum operating supply current (ICC) is 75 mA at VCC = 5.5V, with all I/Os loaded and operating at maximum frequency defined by tRC = 20 ns. This value is measured with outputs driving 4 mA high and 8 mA low loads per pin, per DC electrical specifications on page 4 of the datasheet.
Does CY7C199CN-20ZXIT require an external clock or refresh signal?
No. The CY7C199CN-20ZXIT is a fully asynchronous static RAM with no internal clock, timer, or refresh circuitry. All operations are edge-triggered by CE, OE, and WE signals; data remains valid as long as VCC is maintained above 2.0V, even with all controls inactive.
Can CY7C199CN-20ZXIT be used in automotive applications?
No. The CY7C199CN-20ZXIT is specified only for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). While the datasheet mentions "Automotive-A" in the Operating Range table, that designation applies only to other speed grades (e.g., –25 variant) and is not validated for this specific –20ZXIT marking. It lacks AEC-Q100 qualification.
What is the pin 1 identifier for the 28-pin TSOP I package of CY7C199CN-20ZXIT?
Pin 1 is the OE (Output Enable) signal, located at the top-left corner of the TSOP I package when the notch or dot marker is oriented upward. This matches the pin 1 location shown in Figure 2 (TSOP I layout) on page 2 of the datasheet (Document #: 001-06435 Rev. *B).
