Product details
Overview
IDT6116LA20SO8 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 static operation without clocks or refresh, and is packaged in 24-pin SOIC for high-density PCB layouts in embedded controllers and instrumentation systems.
For engineers reviewing the IDT6116LA20SO8 datasheet, IDT6116LA20SO8 pinout, IDT6116LA20SO8 application, or IDT6116LA20SO8 equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (≤35 µA full standby), data retention capability (2 V min), 24-pin SOIC footprint compatibility, and industrial-grade reliability per MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance.
Technical Context
The IDT6116LA20SO8 implements fully static asynchronous memory architecture with no clock or refresh circuitry. Its control logic uses independent Chip Select (CS), Output Enable (OE), and Write Enable (WE) inputs to manage read/write cycles and high-impedance I/O states.
It features dual standby modes: TTL-level standby (ISB ≤ 35 mA) and CMOS-level full standby (ISB1 ≤ 0.1 µA at VCC = 5 V), enabling system-level power optimization. Data retention is guaranteed at VCC ≥ 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 20 µA over full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8-bit (16,384 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns max - determines minimum read cycle latency in CPU or microcontroller bus interfaces |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 0.1 µA max at CMOS-level CS - enables ultra-low-power battery backup operation |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - allows retention from coin-cell or backup battery without regulator |
| Operating Temperature | –45°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and telecom infrastructure |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) - direct interfacing with legacy microcontrollers |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC), gull-wing lead form, 300-mil body width (SO24-2).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus for 2K-word selection; TTL-compatible, no external pull-ups required |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CS or OE inactive - enables bus sharing |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; drives device into full standby (ISB1) when high - primary power-gating control |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; latches data on falling edge - controls write cycle timing (tWP = 12 ns min) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; enables read data only when CS and OE both low - prevents bus contention |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% supply; powers core logic and I/O drivers - decoupling capacitor required per datasheet |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return - must be low-impedance connection for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Battery-backed data retention | Operates at 2.0 V with ≤20 µA retention current - eliminates need for external voltage supervisor or regulator in backup mode |
| Ultra-low full-standby current | 0.1 µA typical at VCC = 5 V - reduces system sleep-mode power by >99% vs. standard SRAMs |
| Industrial temperature qualification | –45°C to +85°C operation with full AC/DC specs - suitable for uncontrolled ambient environments |
| No refresh or clock required | Fully static CMOS design - simplifies system timing, removes DRAM controller dependency |
| TTL-compatible interface | Direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, PIC18F) without level-shifting circuitry |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62167EV30LL-45ZSXI | 32K × 8-bit, 45 ns access, 3.3 V only, no 2 V data retention | Higher density but incompatible voltage domain; requires level translation in 5 V systems | Choose only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and higher capacity is needed |
| AS6C1008-20TIN | 128K × 8-bit, 20 ns access, 5 V, no battery retention, commercial temp only (0°C to +70°C) | Lacks industrial temperature rating and 2 V retention - unsuitable for extended ambient or backup scenarios | Select only for cost-sensitive commercial applications where temperature and retention are non-critical |
Compared with CY62167EV30LL-45ZSXI and AS6C1008-20TIN, the IDT6116LA20SO8 uniquely delivers 20 ns access, industrial temperature range, and verified 2 V battery retention in a mature 5 V SOIC package - making it irreplaceable for legacy-reliant, power-constrained industrial designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for IDT6116LA20SO8?
IDT6116LA20SO8 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –45°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all DC and AC electrical parameters, including 20 ns access time and 0.1 µA full-standby current. It is not rated for commercial (0°C to +70°C) or military (–55°C to +125°C) ranges - those require different suffixes (e.g., IDT6116LA20SOI for industrial, IDT6116LA20SOY for military).
Does IDT6116LA20SO8 support true battery backup with data retention below 5 V?
Yes. IDT6116LA20SO8 supports guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V, consuming ≤20 µA (typical 1–4 µA). This is a defining feature of the "LA" (low-power, battery-retention) variant - the "SA" version does not offer this capability. Retention is valid across the full industrial temperature range and requires no external circuitry beyond a 2 V source.
What is the pin-compatible replacement for IDT6116LA20SO8 in SOIC package?
IDT6116LA20SO8 has no direct pin-compatible drop-in replacement due to its unique combination of 20 ns speed, LA retention, and industrial temperature rating. Alternate speed grades (e.g., IDT6116LA25SO8) share identical pinout and function but differ in access time and current specs. Cross-references like AS6C1008-20TIN use the same 24-pin SOIC footprint but lack retention and temperature rating - requiring redesign validation.
How does the standby power mode work on IDT6116LA20SO8?
IDT6116LA20SO8 offers two standby modes: TTL-level standby (ISB ≤ 35 mA when CS > VIH) and CMOS-level full standby (ISB1 ≤ 0.1 µA when CS > VHC and inputs held at valid logic levels). Full standby is activated automatically when CS rises above VHC and all inputs are stable - enabling µA-level system sleep current without external control logic.
Is IDT6116LA20SO8 compliant with MIL-STD-883 Class B?
Yes. IDT6116LA20SO8 is manufactured and tested to MIL-STD-883, Class B requirements, including mechanical shock, vibration, temperature cycling, and burn-in. This compliance applies specifically to devices ordered with military temperature suffixes (e.g., IDT6116LA20SOY), but the underlying die and process are qualified per Class B - confirmed in the datasheet's "Military product compliant to MIL-STD-833, Class B" statement.
