Product details
Overview
CY7C199CNL-15VXI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 256-Kbit (32 K × 8) asynchronous CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, 5.0 V ±10% supply range, and automatic CE-controlled power-down. It operates across industrial temperature (–40 °C to +85 °C), supports TTL-compatible I/O, and retains data at 2.0 V-used in legacy industrial controllers requiring nonvolatile memory backup during brownout.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C199CNL-15VXI datasheet, CY7C199CNL-15VXI pinout, CY7C199CNL-15VXI application, or CY7C199CNL-15VXI equivalent, key selection criteria include access timing consistency under varying VCC, standby current below 500 pA, CE-driven power-state control, and SOJ-28 package compatibility with through-hole and surface-mount board layouts.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a fully asynchronous interface with independent CE, OE, and WE controls enabling precise read/write gating. Its internal architecture includes row/column decoders, sense amplifiers, and a dedicated power-down circuit triggered solely by CE high, eliminating external logic for low-power states.
The device uses standard CMOS process technology with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive capability (IOH = –4 mA, IOL = 8 mA). Data retention at 2.0 V is guaranteed with ICCDR ≤ 150 pA, supporting battery-backed hold modes without external regulators.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32 K × 8) - supports byte-wide data bus interfacing without multiplexing |
| Access time (tAA) | 15 ns - ensures reliable operation up to 66.7 MHz read cycle rate |
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with legacy 5 V logic rails and noise margin requirements |
| Standby current (ISB2) | 500 pA max - enables multi-year data retention on coin-cell backup |
| Data retention voltage | 2.0 V min - allows operation during deep brownout or capacitor hold-down |
| Operating temperature | –40 °C to +85 °C - qualified for industrial control and instrumentation environments |

| SOJ-28 and DIP-28 options | Supports both automated SMT assembly and hand-soldered prototyping or field repair |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Legacy Microcontroller Data RAM |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Real-time I/O scanning in programmable logic controllers where power interruptions occur during factory maintenance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous byte-wide scratchpad RAM holding process state during brief AC dropout. Use Value: 2.0 V data retention ensures zero-cycle recovery after 200 ms brownout; 15 ns access sustains 10 kHz scan loop timing. | Use Scenario: External RAM expansion for Z80-based medical diagnostic equipment with fixed 8-bit data bus. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-multiplexed parallel memory mapped at 0x8000–0xFFFF, accessed via WAIT signal generation. Use Value: TTL-compatible inputs eliminate bus transceivers; SOJ-28 footprint matches legacy PCB tooling. |
| Avionics Sensor Data Cache | Test Equipment Firmware Storage |
Use Scenario: Storing calibrated sensor coefficients in airborne inertial measurement units exposed to –40 °C cold-soak. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Static storage for lookup tables accessed during boot and periodic recalibration routines. Use Value: Industrial temp grade (–40 °C to +85 °C) and 500 pA ISB2 ensure stable retention over 10-year service life. | Use Scenario: Holding firmware images in automated test handlers where reprogramming occurs infrequently but reliability is critical. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Read-only execution memory during self-test sequences, deselected between operations. Use Value: CE-driven power-down cuts leakage to sub-nA levels, preventing thermal drift in precision analog subsystems. |
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 (512 K × 8), 15 ns, 3.3 V only, SOJ-28 | Higher density but incompatible voltage; requires level shifters in 5 V systems | Select only if upgrading capacity and migrating to 3.3 V infrastructure |
| IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI | 4 Mbit (256 K × 16), 15 ns, 3.3 V, TQFP-44 | Wider bus, different package, no 5 V support; not drop-in replaceable | Choose for new 3.3 V designs needing higher bandwidth, not for CY7C199CNL-15VXI replacement |
Compared with AS6C4008-15TIN and IS61LV25616AL-15TQLI, the CY7C199CNL-15VXI remains uniquely suited for 5 V industrial retrofits due to its voltage compatibility, SOJ-28 pinout, and proven 2.0 V data retention-neither alternative replicates this exact combination of legacy interface, power behavior, and form factor.

FAQ
Is CY7C199CNL-15VXI pin-compatible with CY7C199DN-15VXI?
Yes-both share identical SOJ-28 pinout, address/data mapping, and control signal assignments. The 'L' suffix denotes lead-free packaging; electrical and timing specifications are functionally identical per datasheet Rev. *J. No PCB layout changes are needed for substitution.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for read cycles?
The device does not use a clock; it is asynchronous. Maximum effective read throughput is determined by tRC = 15 ns, yielding a theoretical upper limit of 66.7 MHz for consecutive reads. Actual system speed depends on address setup/hold and bus controller timing margins.
Can CY7C199CNL-15VXI operate reliably at 4.5 V?
Yes-its specified VCC range is 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At 4.5 V, all AC parameters including tAA (15 ns) and tRC (15 ns) remain guaranteed per datasheet Table on page 8, and DC characteristics such as VIH (2.2 V min) maintain valid noise margins.
Does the automatic power-down feature require external circuitry?
No-power-down activates automatically when CE is driven high, reducing ICC to ≤500 pA without any external components, configuration registers, or software intervention. This behavior is inherent to the silicon design and verified across temperature and voltage ranges.
