Product details
Overview
IDT71256L35Y8 from Integrated Device Technology is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) low-power CMOS static RAM with 35ns maximum access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and 2V battery backup data retention. It operates across industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), consumes ≤3µA in full standby mode, and is packaged in 28-pin 300-mil SOJ for high-density board layouts. Used in legacy industrial controllers requiring non-volatile SRAM with deterministic timing.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256L35Y8 datasheet, IDT71256L35Y8 pinout, IDT71256L35Y8 application, or IDT71256L35Y8 equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current under CMOS-level chip select, battery-retention voltage margin, AC timing compliance at –40°C/+85°C, and SOJ-28 mechanical compatibility with legacy PCB footprints.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully decoded 15-bit address space (A0–A14) driving a 262,144-bit memory array with bidirectional 8-bit data bus (I/O0–I/O7). Control logic uses three independent enables-CS (chip select), WE (write enable), and OE (output enable)-to manage read/write cycles and high-impedance tri-state output behavior.
Its low-power architecture features dual standby modes: TTL-level CS > VIH triggers ISB (≤3mA), while CMOS-level CS > VHC activates ISB1 (≤1.5µA typical). Battery backup operation is supported only in L-version devices, retaining data at VCC = 2.0V with ICCDR ≤120µA (typ.) over industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), fixed parallel interface with no internal refresh required |
| Access Time (tAA) | 35ns max - guarantees valid data at I/O pins within 35ns after stable address and CS assertion |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no external regulation needed |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | ≤1.5µA typical - enables multi-year battery-backed retention in power-critical systems |

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin SOJ (Small Outline J-Lead), 300-mil width, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, lead-free capable per IDT specification.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| I/O0–I/O7 | Bi-directional Data Bus | 8-bit shared data path; high-impedance when CS high or during write cycles with OE high |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; asserts memory array and I/O drivers; CMOS-level threshold enables ultra-low ISB1 |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low control for write operations; combined with CS LOW to initiate data latching into memory cell |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers; allows read data to appear on I/O lines without affecting write state |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5V supply pin; decoupling capacitor required within 10mm for stable 35ns timing compliance |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; must be connected to low-impedance plane to minimize tOH/tOLZ jitter |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-power standby (ISB1) | 1.5µA typical at VCC = 5.5V - reduces system sleep-mode power by >99% vs. standard SRAMs |

| TTL-compatible I/O | VIH = 2.2V min, VOL = 0.4V max at 8mA - interoperates directly with legacy 74-series logic without level shifters |
| Military-grade reliability | MIL-STD-883 Class B screening available - ensures long-term operation in vibration-prone or thermally cycled environments |
| SOJ-28 footprint | 300-mil body width, J-lead pitch 0.050″ - supports automated reflow assembly and provides superior thermal dissipation vs. DIP |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256LL-45ZSXIT | 45ns access time; 32-pin TSOP-I package; ISB1 = 2µA typical; same 32K×8 organization | Requires PCB redesign due to 32-pin TSOP footprint; lacks MIL-STD-883 qualification | Select when higher-volume automated assembly justifies footprint change and military screening is unnecessary |
| AS6C4008-35TIN | 35ns access; 28-pin SOJ; ISB1 = 5µA typical; 5V-only supply; no battery retention spec | Not rated for 2V data retention; industrial temp only; lower reliability screening than IDT71256L35Y8 | Choose for cost-sensitive industrial designs where battery backup is handled externally |
Compared with CY62256LL-45ZSXIT and AS6C4008-35TIN, IDT71256L35Y8 uniquely delivers 35ns performance in SOJ-28 with guaranteed 2V battery retention and MIL-STD-883 Class B screening-making it irreplaceable in legacy aerospace and defense upgrades requiring zero PCB changes.

FAQ
What is the minimum VCC required for data retention in IDT71256L35Y8?
IDT71256L35Y8 guarantees data retention down to 2.0V across its full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), as specified in Table 11 of the datasheet. This enables direct connection to a single 2.0V lithium battery without voltage regulation. The device draws ≤120µA (typ.) at 2.0V during retention mode, supporting multi-year backup operation. IDT71256L35Y8 does not retain data below 2.0V, and operation outside this voltage violates the retention specification.
Does IDT71256L35Y8 support true static operation without refresh cycles?
Yes, IDT71256L35Y8 is a fully static CMOS SRAM with no internal refresh requirement. Its 32K × 8-bit memory array retains data indefinitely as long as VCC remains within specification and CS is held HIGH in standby or driven LOW during active access. The absence of refresh simplifies system design-no external refresh controller or timing overhead is needed. IDT71256L35Y8 maintains data integrity even with zero clock or address activity for decades under proper bias conditions.
What is the meaning of "Y8" in the part number IDT71256L35Y8?
The "Y8" suffix in IDT71256L35Y8 denotes the 28-pin 300-mil SOJ package variant with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and low-power (L) functionality. Per IDT's ordering guide (Figure 2946 drw 13), "Y" specifies SOJ-28 packaging and "8" indicates industrial grade. This distinguishes it from ceramic DIP (D28-3), plastic DIP (P28-1), or LCC (L32-1) variants. IDT71256L35Y8 is not pin-compatible with any 32-pin version.
Can IDT71256L35Y8 be used in place of IDT71256S35Y8?
IDT71256L35Y8 and IDT71256S35Y8 share identical speed (35ns), package (SOJ-28), and temperature rating, but differ critically in power architecture: the "L" version delivers ≤1.5µA full-standby current and 2V battery retention, while the "S" version draws ≤20mA ISB and has no retention spec. Substitution is electrically safe but invalidates battery backup functionality. IDT71256L35Y8 must be used where low-power retention is required; IDT71256S35Y8 suits cost-sensitive applications without backup needs.
Is IDT71256L35Y8 compliant with RoHS or lead-free assembly requirements?
IDT71256L35Y8 was manufactured prior to mandatory RoHS enforcement and uses leaded solder in its SOJ leads. While IDT documented lead-free conversion paths for later SRAM families, no official lead-free variant of IDT71256L35Y8 was released. Aetrix Electronics supplies only original IDT-marked IDT71256L35Y8 units meeting the 2001 datasheet specifications, which predate RoHS. For new designs requiring RoHS compliance, alternative modern SRAMs must be evaluated.
