Product details
Overview
CY7C199CN-25PXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256K (32K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 25 ns access time, 5.0V ±10% supply range, and automatic CE-controlled power-down mode. It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to 70°C), supports TTL-compatible I/O, and retains data at 2.0V - used in legacy microcontroller-based instrumentation buffers and industrial PLC memory expansion.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199CN-25PXC datasheet, CY7C199CN-25PXC pinout, CY7C199CN-25PXC application, or CY7C199CN-25PXC equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 25 ns tAA timing, 500 µA ISB2 standby current under CMOS input conditions, VCC=4.5–5.5V compliance, and DIP-28 package compatibility with through-hole board layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C199CN-25PXC implements a fully asynchronous SRAM interface with independent CE, OE, and 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 logic.
All timing parameters are specified under defined AC test loads (30 pF C1, 480 Ω R1/R3) and transition rates (≤3 ns). Data retention at 2.0V is guaranteed with CE ≥ VCC–0.3V and VIN clamped to rail-safe levels - a feature critical for brown-out resilience in embedded control systems.
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) | 25 ns - defines maximum clock-to-data delay in read cycles; meets timing for 20 MHz bus operation |
| VCC Supply Range | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - ensures interoperability with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic families and legacy power rails |
| Standby Current (ISB2) | 500 µA max at VCC = 5.5 V, f = 0 - enables low-power hold mode during processor sleep without external gating |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - allows memory contents to persist during brown-out events down to 2.0V VCC without backup battery |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial control panels and test equipment environments |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL-compatible VIH/VIL and VOH/VOL - eliminates level-shifting requirements when interfacing with 74LS/HC logic |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin Dual In-line Package (DIP), through-hole mounting, Pb-free lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Input | 15-bit address bus (A0 LSB to A14 MSB) selects one of 32K locations; no internal latching |
| IO0–IO7 | Bidirectional Data I/O | 8-bit data bus; high-impedance when CE or OE is inactive - enables bus sharing without external transceivers |
| CE | Chip Enable | Active-low global enable; drives device into 500 µA standby when high - primary power management control |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; output disabled (high-Z) when high, even if CE is active - supports multiplexed bus reads |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write on falling edge concurrent with CE low - enables asynchronous burst writes |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5.0V ±10% core supply; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin 28 per layout guidelines |
| VSS | Ground | Signal and power return; pin 14 must be connected directly to PCB ground plane for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automated CE Power-Down | Reduces ICC to ≤500 µA without external control logic - simplifies low-power state management in battery-backed systems |
| 2.0V Data Retention | Maintains stored data during undervoltage events down to 2.0V VCC - eliminates need for external keep-alive circuitry |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Accepts 0.8V/2.0V logic thresholds and drives 2.4V/0.4V levels at 4mA/8mA - interoperable with legacy 74-series logic |
| Multiple Package Options | DIP-28 footprint matches legacy board designs; also available in SOJ-28 and TSOP-I-28 for space-constrained upgrades |
| Industrial Temperature Support | Qualified for –40°C to +85°C operation in -I variant - same pinout and timing as -25PXC with extended thermal margin |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Expansion | Legacy Microcontroller Data Buffering |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 25 ns tAA, 32K × 8, 2.7–3.6V only - no 5V support | Requires level-shifting or separate 3.3V rail; unsuitable for direct 5V TTL replacement | Select only if migrating to 3.3V system architecture and redesigning power delivery |
| IS61LV25616AL-25TQLI | 25 ns tAA, 256K × 16, 3.3V supply, 32-pin TSOP II - wider data bus, different pinout | Provides 16-bit interface; incompatible pin mapping and voltage domain - not drop-in | Choose when upgrading to 16-bit MCU and redesigning PCB layout for higher bandwidth |
Compared with AS6C4008-25ZIN and IS61LV25616AL-25TQLI, the CY7C199CN-25PXC uniquely supports 5V TTL compatibility, DIP-28 through-hole packaging, and 2.0V data retention - making it irreplaceable in legacy 5V industrial control boards requiring zero-layout-change upgrades.

FAQ
Is CY7C199CN-25PXC RoHS compliant?
Yes. The "PXC" suffix denotes a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 28-pin DIP package with matte tin lead finish. Cypress confirmed full compliance per EU Directive 2011/65/EU and JESD204B, with no exemptions applied. Certificate of Compliance is available upon request for batch-specific traceability.
Can CY7C199CN-25PXC operate at 4.0V?
No. The absolute minimum VCC is 4.5V per DC Electrical Characteristics (page 4). Operation below 4.5V violates specification limits for VIH (2.2V min), VOH (2.4V min), and ICC stability - data corruption or failure to retain may occur.
What is the maximum capacitive load the IO pins can drive?
The IO pins are characterized for 30 pF load (per AC Test Loads table, page 5). Driving >30 pF increases tHZOE/tHZCE delays beyond spec (e.g., tHZOE max = 9 ns at 30 pF); for 50 pF loads, timing margins degrade by ~2.5 ns - derating or buffer use is required.
Does CY7C199CN-25PXC support battery backup mode?
It does not include built-in battery switchover circuitry, but its 2.0V data retention capability allows external battery backup at 2.0–3.0V via diode-OR configuration. Cypress Application Note AN2157 details implementation using a 3V lithium coin cell and low-leakage Schottky diode.
