Product details
Overview
IDT6116LA20SO from Integrated Device Technology is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) low-power CMOS static RAM with 20 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and battery-backed data retention at 2 V. It operates across industrial temperature range (–45°C to +85°C), supports asynchronous read/write cycles without clocks or refresh, and is packaged in 24-pin SOIC for high-density PCB layouts in embedded controllers and instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the IDT6116LA20SO datasheet, IDT6116LA20SO pinout, IDT6116LA20SO application, or IDT6116LA20SO equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (≤35 mA TTL-level / ≤0.1 mA CMOS-level), data retention capability at 2 V, 24-pin SOIC footprint compatibility, and guaranteed 20 ns access timing under industrial conditions.
Technical Context
The IDT6116LA20SO implements fully static asynchronous operation using advanced CMOS technology, eliminating need for clocks or refresh cycles. Its control logic uses independent Chip Select (CS), Output Enable (OE), and Write Enable (WE) inputs to manage read, write, and standby modes - with automatic transition to low-power standby when CS is HIGH.
It features dual standby modes: TTL-level standby (ISB = 35 mA max) and full CMOS-level standby (ISB1 = 0.1 µA max), plus battery backup support enabling data retention at VCC = 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 20 µA (commercial) or ≤ 300 µA (military). Input/output pins meet TTL voltage thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and exhibit ≤8 pF capacitance.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62167EV30LL-45ZSXIT | 512K × 16-bit, 45 ns access, 3.3 V only, no 2 V retention | Higher density but incompatible voltage and retention profile; requires level-shifting and external backup | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V systems and increasing memory depth beyond 16K × 8 |
| AS6C1008-20PCN | 128K × 8-bit, 20 ns access, 5 V, industrial temp, no battery retention | Larger capacity and same speed, but lacks 2 V data retention and has higher ISB1 (1 µA vs. 0.1 µA) | Prefer when board space permits larger SOIC-28 and battery backup is handled externally |
Compared with IDT6116LA20SO, CY62167EV30LL-45ZSXIT offers greater density but sacrifices 2 V retention and introduces voltage incompatibility, while AS6C1008-20PCN matches speed and voltage but requires external retention circuitry and consumes 10× more standby current in full sleep mode.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for IDT6116LA20SO?
IDT6116LA20SO is rated for industrial temperature operation from –45°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Recommended Operating Conditions section of the official datasheet, and applies specifically to the LA version in SOIC packaging. It does not support military-grade –55°C to +125°C operation unless ordered with MIL-spec suffixes (e.g., IDT6116LA20D).
Does IDT6116LA20SO require an external clock or refresh signal?
No, IDT6116LA20SO is a fully static RAM and requires no clock or refresh signals. Its asynchronous architecture relies solely on CS, OE, and WE control lines to manage read, write, and standby states. This eliminates timing-critical refresh circuitry and simplifies integration with microcontrollers lacking dedicated SRAM controllers.
What is the minimum supply voltage for data retention in IDT6116LA20SO?
IDT6116LA20SO supports data retention down to 2.0 V DC, as specified in the Data Retention Characteristics table. At this voltage, it draws ≤300 µA (military grade) or ≤20 µA (commercial/industrial grade), enabling reliable operation from lithium coin cells or backup batteries without regulation.
Is IDT6116LA20SO pin-compatible with other 2K × 8 SRAMs in 24-pin SOIC?
IDT6116LA20SO follows industry-standard 24-pin SOIC pinout for 2K × 8 SRAMs (e.g., A0–A10, I/O0–I/O7, CS, WE, OE, VCC, GND), matching JEDEC MS-012. However, functional compatibility depends on timing parameters and standby behavior - for example, competitors may lack 2 V retention or CMOS-level ISB1.
What is the typical standby current consumption of IDT6116LA20SO in battery backup mode?
In full CMOS-level standby (CS > VHC, VIN < VLC or > VHC), IDT6116LA20SO consumes 0.1 µA typical and 0.9 µA maximum - verified in the ISB1 parameter table. This ultra-low current enables multi-year data retention from small backup batteries, distinguishing it from standard SA versions which draw 2–10 mA in the same condition.
