Product details
Overview
IDT6116SA20SO from Integrated Device Technology is a 16K-bit (2K × 8) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 20 ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and 5 V ±10% supply operation. It features asynchronous static operation-no clock or refresh required-and supports military, industrial, and commercial temperature ranges. Used in embedded controllers, instrumentation buffers, and legacy system memory expansion where deterministic timing and low standby power are critical.
For engineers reviewing the IDT6116SA20SO datasheet, IDT6116SA20SO pinout, IDT6116SA20SO application, or IDT6116SA20SO equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 20 ns access under military-grade conditions, TTL-level interface compatibility, 24-pin SOIC packaging, and dual standby modes (TTL- and CMOS-level) enabling system-level power optimization in real-time control and avionics subsystems.
Technical Context
The IDT6116SA20SO implements fully static asynchronous logic with independent chip select (CS), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) controls, supporting three distinct operational modes: read, write, and standby. Its address decoder drives a 128 × 128 memory array, and all inputs/outputs meet TTL voltage thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) at VCC = 5.0 V ±10%.
Two standby current modes are supported: ISB = 40 mA (TTL-level CS deassertion) and ISB1 = 2 mA (CMOS-level CS deassertion with VIN < VLC or > VHC). Data retention is not supported-this is the SA (standard power) variant, distinct from the LA battery-backup version.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8-bit (16,384 bits), single-port SRAM |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns max - guarantees data valid within 20 ns of address/CS assertion at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - operates across full industrial/military range without regulation overhead |
| Operating Temperature | –45°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial applications per ordering code "I" |
| Standby Current (ISB) | 40 mA max - active-low TTL-compatible CS disables outputs and reduces dynamic power |
| Input/Output Compatibility | TTL - interfaces directly with 74LS/74ALS logic without level-shifting |
| Package | 24-pin SOIC (SO24-2), 300-mil width - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
24-pin Small Outline IC (SOIC), gull-wing lead form, 300-mil body width (SO24-2), RoHS-compliant lead finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A10 | Address Inputs | 11-bit binary address bus selecting one of 2K locations |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; high-impedance when CS or OE inactive |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; forces standby mode and high-Z I/O when HIGH |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control; initiates write cycle only when CS = LOW |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control; enables output drivers during read cycles |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% main supply; powers core logic and I/O buffers |
| GND | Ground Reference | 0 V return path for all internal circuits and I/O signals |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Military/industrial qualification | Manufactured to MIL-STD-883 Class B standards; validated for –45°C to +85°C operation |
| Low soft-error rate | Advanced CMOS process minimizes alpha-particle-induced bit flips-critical for avionics and medical devices |

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 core (with 5 V tolerant I/O), SOIC-28 | Higher density and lower voltage, but requires PCB redesign due to 28-pin footprint and different timing margins | Select when upgrading capacity and power efficiency is prioritized over pin compatibility |
| AS6C1008-20TIN | 128K × 8-bit, 20 ns access, 5 V operation, SOIC-28 | Four times the memory depth; same speed grade but incompatible pinout and address bus width (17-bit vs. 11-bit) | Choose for new designs needing scalable memory without legacy footprint constraints |
Compared with IDT6116SA20SO, CY62167EV30LL-45ZSXI offers higher integration at lower voltage but demands layout changes, while AS6C1008-20TIN delivers greater capacity at identical speed-neither provides pin-for-pin replacement, making IDT6116SA20SO the sole option for direct 24-pin SOIC retrofits in industrial control backplanes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for IDT6116SA20SO?
IDT6116SA20SO is rated for industrial temperature operation from –45°C to +85°C, as indicated by the "I" suffix in its ordering code. It is not rated for military (–55°C to +125°C) or commercial (0°C to +70°C) ranges unless explicitly ordered with corresponding temperature-grade suffixes (e.g., "Y" for commercial or "D" for military).
Does IDT6116SA20SO support battery backup or data retention?
No. IDT6116SA20SO is the standard-power SA variant and does not support battery backup or low-voltage data retention. That capability is exclusive to the LA variant (e.g., IDT6116LA20SO), which specifies 2 V data retention voltage and microamp-level retention current.
Is IDT6116SA20SO pin-compatible with other 2K × 8 SRAMs?
Yes-IDT6116SA20SO uses the industry-standard 24-pin SOIC (SO24-2) package with JEDEC-standard pinout for 2K × 8 SRAMs, including compatibility with IS61C256, HM6116LP-4, and other legacy 24-pin devices. Address, data, and control signal assignments match the common 2K × 8 footprint.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby current in IDT6116SA20SO?
ISB = 40 mA max is the standby current when CS is driven to a TTL-high level (≥2.2 V); ISB1 = 2 mA max occurs only when CS exceeds VHC (VCC – 0.2 V) and all inputs are held at valid CMOS logic levels. ISB1 enables deeper power savings but requires stricter input voltage control.
Can IDT6116SA20SO be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
No. IDT6116SA20SO requires a 5.0 V ±10% supply and is specified only for TTL-compatible signaling (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). It is not 3.3 V tolerant and will not operate reliably with 3.3 V I/O drivers or supplies without level translation.
