Product details
Overview
IDT71256L25Y from Integrated Device Technology is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) low-power CMOS static RAM with 25 ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and 2 V battery-backed data retention. It operates across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), consumes ≤115 mA dynamic current and ≤3 µA full-standby current, and is used in legacy industrial controllers requiring nonvolatile SRAM backup without external battery management.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256L25Y datasheet, IDT71256L25Y pinout, IDT71256L25Y application, or IDT71256L25Y equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 25 ns AC timing compliance, 2 V data retention capability, SOJ-28 package compatibility, and MIL-STD-883 Class B qualification for high-reliability embedded systems.
Technical Context
The IDT71256L25Y implements a fully decoded 15-bit address interface (A0–A14) driving a 262,144-bit memory array with bidirectional 8-bit I/O (I/O0–I/O7). Its control logic supports three-state output via independent OE and WE, with automatic low-power standby triggered by CS HIGH at TTL or CMOS levels.
It uses advanced high-reliability CMOS fabrication and features dual standby modes: TTL-level ISB (≤3 mA) and CMOS-level ISB1 (≤0.4 µA at 25°C), enabling system-level power savings in intermittently active instrumentation and telemetry nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA / tACS) | 25 ns max - guarantees read data valid within 25 ns of address or CS assertion |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - retains data during brownout or backup battery operation |

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin SOJ (SO28-5), 300-mil width, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit tristate I/O; driven during write, enabled during read when OE = L and CS = L |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; forces device into standby (ISB1) when HIGH, enabling system power gating |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write control; latches data on falling edge when CS = L |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; places I/O pins in high-Z when HIGH, isolating bus during writes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256LN-25ZXC | 25 ns access, 5 V, SOJ-28, but only commercial temp (0°C to +70°C); no 2 V retention | Lacks battery backup support and industrial temperature rating | Select only for cost-sensitive non-critical consumer-grade designs with stable ambient conditions |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 25 ns access, 5 V, SOJ-28, industrial temp (–40°C to +85°C), but 3.5 µA ISB1 vs. 0.4 µA | Higher standby current reduces battery lifetime in long-term unpowered storage | Acceptable where board-level power management compensates for higher leakage, but not for sealed battery-only retention |
Compared with CY62256LN-25ZXC and AS6C4008-25ZIN, the IDT71256L25Y uniquely delivers verified 2 V data retention, MIL-STD-883 Class B screening, and sub-1 µA full-standby current - making it the sole option for safety-critical industrial and aerospace applications requiring guaranteed data integrity during extended brownouts.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for IDT71256L25Y?
IDT71256L25Y is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Temperature and Supply Voltage" table (Table 05) of the official datasheet, and the device is packaged in SOJ-28 (SO28-5) format qualified for this range. It does not support commercial (0°C to +70°C) or military (–55°C to +125°C) grades - the 'Y' suffix explicitly denotes industrial temperature screening.
Does IDT71256L25Y support true battery backup with 2 V operation?
Yes, IDT71256L25Y supports guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V, as specified in Table 11 ("Data Retention Characteristics") of the datasheet. In this mode, it draws ≤500 µA (typical 120 µA) and maintains stored data indefinitely as long as voltage remains ≥2.0 V. This is a defined feature of the 'L' (low-power) variant and is validated across the full industrial temperature range.
What is the standby current consumption of IDT71256L25Y in full CMOS-level standby mode?
IDT71256L25Y draws ≤0.4 µA typical (≤1.5 µA max) in full standby mode (ISB1), achieved when CS > VHC (≥VCC – 0.2 V) and no address transitions occur. This value is documented in Table 07 for the 71256L25 speed grade under "ISB1 Full Standby Power Supply Current (CMOS Level)" and is measured at VCC = 5.5 V and TA = +25°C.
Is IDT71256L25Y pin-compatible with other 28-pin SRAMs like the HM62256?
IDT71256L25Y uses the industry-standard 28-pin SOJ pinout (SO28-5) with identical A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CS, WE, OE, VCC, and GND assignments as HM62256 and other 32K×8 SRAMs. However, timing parameters (e.g., tCHZ = 11 ns vs. HM62256's 15 ns) and electrical characteristics (e.g., ISB1 = 0.4 µA vs. HM62256's ~5 µA) differ - functional substitution requires validation of timing margins and power constraints in the target design.
What package type is used for IDT71256L25Y?
IDT71256L25Y is supplied in a 28-pin Small Outline J-Lead (SOJ) package, designated SO28-5 in IDT's ordering nomenclature. This is a 300-mil body width, gull-wing leaded package conforming to JEDEC MS-012AC, and is shown in the "Pin Configurations" diagram (Figure 02) of the datasheet with pin 1 index marker and standard SOJ pin numbering.
