Product details
Overview
IDT6116LA45SO from Integrated Device Technology is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) low-power CMOS static RAM with 45 ns maximum 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 systems.
For engineers reviewing the IDT6116LA45SO datasheet, IDT6116LA45SO pinout, IDT6116LA45SO application, or IDT6116LA45SO equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, standby current behavior, data retention specs, and real-world use context for legacy system maintenance, industrial controller upgrades, and military-grade memory replacement where low-voltage backup and TTL interfacing are required.
Technical Context
The IDT6116LA45SO implements fully static asynchronous operation using advanced CMOS technology, eliminating need for clocks or refresh cycles. Its control logic supports three distinct operational modes-standby (CS HIGH), read (CS & OE LOW, WE HIGH), and write (CS & WE LOW)-with TTL-level input thresholds and output drive capability of ±4 mA/±8 mA.
It features dual standby power states: TTL-level standby (ISB = 20 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V) and full CMOS-level standby (ISB1 = 0.1 µA typical at VCC = 5.5 V). Data retention is guaranteed down to 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 30 µA over full industrial temperature range, enabling reliable battery backup in power-fail scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 16,384 bits (2K × 8), supporting byte-wide data bus interfaces without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 45 ns max - defines minimum address-to-valid-data delay during active read cycles |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 0.1 µA typical - enables multi-year battery backup operation from coin-cell sources |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - allows retention during brown-out or main supply interruption without data loss |
| Operating Temperature | –45°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and transportation electronics |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) - direct interface with 74LS/74HC logic families |
Pinout & Package
Package: 24-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC), gull-wing lead form, 300 mil body width, RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus accepting 0–2047 to select one of 2K memory locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface handling both read outputs and write inputs; high-impedance when CS or OE inactive |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable controlling device activation; drives ISB1 = 0.1 µA when HIGH for ultra-low standby |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal initiating write cycle; must be LOW concurrent with CS LOW and stable address/data |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers; allows read data to appear on I/O lines only when CS and OE both LOW |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V nominal supply pin; decoupling capacitor required within 1 cm for noise immunity |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return path; requires low-inductance connection to minimize switching noise |

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 | 512K × 16-bit organization, 3.3 V core, 45 ns access, SOIC-44 package | Higher density and lower voltage but incompatible pinout and wider package - requires PCB redesign | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V systems and increasing memory capacity; not drop-in compatible |
| AS6C1008-45ZIN | 128K × 8-bit, 5 V, 45 ns, SOIC-28 package, no battery retention | Larger capacity but lacks 2 V data retention and uses 28-pin footprint - no backup capability | Use where higher density is prioritized over battery backup; verify layout compatibility before substitution |
Compared with IDT6116LA45SO, CY62167EV30LL-45ZSXI offers greater density and modern voltage scaling but demands board-level changes, while AS6C1008-45ZIN provides more storage at same speed yet omits the critical 2 V retention feature essential for fail-safe operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for IDT6116LA45SO?
IDT6116LA45SO is rated for industrial temperature operation from –45°C to +85°C. This range is explicitly confirmed in the ordering information section and DC operating conditions table of the official datasheet. The "I" suffix in the part number denotes industrial grade, and all AC/DC specifications-including 45 ns access time and 0.1 µA ISB1-are guaranteed across this full range. Military variants exist but carry different suffixes (e.g., "Y" or "TD").
Does IDT6116LA45SO require a clock or refresh signal?
No, IDT6116LA45SO is a fully static RAM and requires neither a clock nor periodic refresh. Its internal circuitry maintains data indefinitely as long as VCC remains within specification and CS is held HIGH in standby or properly controlled during access. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead and simplifies integration with microcontrollers lacking dedicated DRAM controllers.
What is the minimum supply voltage for data retention on IDT6116LA45SO?
IDT6116LA45SO guarantees data retention down to 2.0 V, as specified in the Data Retention Characteristics table (Table 10). At this voltage, ICCDR is ≤ 30 µA across the industrial temperature range. This 2 V threshold is exclusive to the LA (low-power) version and enables reliable operation from backup batteries or supercapacitors during main supply failure.
Is IDT6116LA45SO pin-compatible with other 24-pin SRAMs like the 6264 or 6116 series?
IDT6116LA45SO follows the industry-standard 24-pin 2K × 8 SRAM pinout (A0–A10, I/O0–I/O7, CS, WE, OE, VCC, GND), matching the original Mostek MK6116 and compatible with 6264-class devices in read/write functionality. However, timing parameters and standby current differ significantly-especially ISB1 = 0.1 µA-so system-level validation of setup/hold and power sequencing is required before substitution.
What package type does IDT6116LA45SO use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
IDT6116LA45SO uses a 24-pin SOIC (Small Outline IC) package with gull-wing leads and 300 mil body width, designated "SO" in the ordering code. While the original 2001 datasheet predates RoHS, IDT's later manufacturing releases and current distribution channels confirm lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish. Aetrix Electronics supplies only RoHS-compliant units traceable to authorized sources.
