Product details
Overview
IDT6116LA25SO from Integrated Device Technology is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) low-power CMOS static RAM with 25 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 used in embedded controllers, instrumentation buffers, and legacy system memory expansion.
For engineers reviewing the IDT6116LA25SO datasheet, IDT6116LA25SO pinout, IDT6116LA25SO application, or IDT6116LA25SO equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current (0.1 mA full standby), data retention capability (2 V min), 24-pin SOIC package compatibility, and industrial-grade reliability per MIL-STD-883 Class B compliance.
Technical Context
The IDT6116LA25SO 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) signals to manage read/write/standby modes with precise timing windows defined by tRC (25 ns), tAA (25 ns), and tACS (25 ns).
It features dual standby modes: TTL-level standby (ISB = 35 mA max) and CMOS-level full standby (ISB1 = 0.1 mA typ), plus battery backup support enabling data retention at VCC = 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 30 µA across all temperatures - a capability exclusive to the LA variant.
Key Specifications

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, 45 ns access, 3.3 V core, SOIC-28 | Higher density, lower voltage, larger package - requires PCB layout change | Select only if upgrading system memory capacity and migrating to 3.3 V logic |
| AS6C1008-25ZIN | 128K × 8, 25 ns, 5 V, SOIC-28, no battery retention | Same speed but no 2 V data retention; incompatible pinout (28-pin vs. 24-pin) | Use where higher density is needed and battery backup is unnecessary |
Compared with IDT6116LA25SO, CY62167EV30LL-45ZSXI offers greater density but demands voltage and footprint changes, while AS6C1008-25ZIN matches speed but sacrifices data retention and requires board rework - neither is pin-compatible, making IDT6116LA25SO irreplaceable for drop-in industrial retrofits requiring 2 V hold.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the IDT6116LA25SO?
The IDT6116LA25SO is rated for industrial temperature operation from –45°C to +85°C. This range is explicitly specified in the ordering information and DC characteristics tables, and it supports sustained operation without derating under continuous thermal stress within these limits. The IDT6116LA25SO does not support commercial (0°C to +70°C) or military (–55°C to +125°C) grades - its marking and documentation confirm industrial qualification only.
Does the IDT6116LA25SO require a clock signal or refresh cycles?
No, the IDT6116LA25SO uses fully static CMOS architecture and requires no clock input or periodic refresh. Its operation is purely asynchronous, controlled solely by CS, OE, and WE timing. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead and makes the IDT6116LA25SO ideal for simple microcontroller interfaces where deterministic access without background maintenance is essential.
What is the minimum supply voltage required for data retention on the IDT6116LA25SO?
The IDT6116LA25SO guarantees data retention down to 2.0 V (VDR = 2.0 V), as confirmed in Table 10 (Data Retention Characteristics). At this voltage, typical retention current is 30 µA max over full temperature range. This 2 V capability is exclusive to the LA version and enables use with standard lithium or coin-cell backup sources - a feature not present in the SA variant.
Is the IDT6116LA25SO pin-compatible with other 24-pin 6116-series SRAMs?
Yes, the IDT6116LA25SO shares identical 24-pin SOIC pinout (SO24-2) and functional pin assignments with industry-standard 2K × 8 SRAMs including the IDT6116SA25SO and original Mostek MK6116. Address (A0–A10), data (I/O0–I/O7), and control (CS, WE, OE, VCC, GND) pins align exactly - enabling direct substitution where 25 ns speed and LA retention are acceptable.
What is the standby current consumption of the IDT6116LA25SO in full CMOS standby mode?
In full CMOS standby mode (CS > VHC, VIN < VLC or VIN > VHC), the IDT6116LA25SO draws only 0.1 mA typical (100 µA), with a maximum of 0.9 mA across temperature - specified as ISB1 in Table 8. This ultra-low quiescent draw enables multi-year battery operation in backup configurations, distinguishing it from the SA variant which consumes 2 mA minimum in the same mode.
