Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA12PZ8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and industrial-grade packaging in 28-pin TSOP (PZG28). It serves as main or buffer memory in embedded controllers, data acquisition systems, and legacy industrial PLCs requiring deterministic asynchronous read/write timing.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA12PZ8 datasheet, IDT71256SA12PZ8 pinout, IDT71256SA12PZ8 application, or IDT71256SA12PZ8 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12 ns commercial-grade access time, CS/OE dual-control read enable, low-standby current (ISB1 = 15 mA), and TSOP-28 footprint compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA12PZ8 implements fully static asynchronous circuitry-no clocks or refresh required-and uses high-reliability CMOS fabrication for stable operation across 0°C to +70°C. Its control logic supports independent chip select (CS) and output enable (OE) assertion, enabling fast read cycles with tAA = 12 ns and tOE = 6 ns.
Write operations are controlled via WE and CS active-low signals, with write pulse width tWP = 8 ns minimum and data hold time tDH = 0 ns. All 8 bidirectional I/O lines are TTL-compatible (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), and power management includes two standby modes: ISB (50 mA at TTL-level CS) and ISB1 (15 mA at CMOS-level CS).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide parallel data bus interfacing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns max; enables sub-83 MHz random read throughput in synchronous bus environments |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256ELL-12ZSXI | Same 32K × 8 organization, 12 ns speed, but 28-pin SOIC (not TSOP); higher ICC (180 mA vs. 160 mA) | Requires PCB redesign for SOIC footprint; better suited for through-hole prototyping or rework-friendly designs | Select when SOIC handling or hand-soldering is preferred over TSOP reflow assembly |
| AS6C4008-12TIN | 12 ns access, 32K × 8, TSOP-28 package; lower ISB1 (5 µA vs. 15 mA), but only commercial temp (0°C to +70°C) | Superior standby power for battery-buffered applications; identical pinout and voltage specs | Select when ultra-low standby current is prioritized and temperature range matches requirements |
Compared with IDT71256SA12PZ8, CY62256ELL-12ZSXI trades TSOP compactness for SOIC serviceability, while AS6C4008-12TIN delivers 3,000× lower ISB1 at equal speed and footprint-making it ideal for power-constrained commercial systems where industrial temp rating is unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the IDT71256SA12PZ8?
The IDT71256SA12PZ8 does not operate on a clock signal-it is an asynchronous SRAM. Its performance is defined by access and cycle times: tAA = 12 ns max and tRC = 12 ns max, supporting effective random-access throughput up to ~83 MHz in ideal conditions. System-level timing depends on controller bus protocol, not internal clocking.
Does the IDT71256SA12PZ8 require external refresh circuitry?
No, the IDT71256SA12PZ8 is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh cycles or external refresh circuitry. Its CMOS memory array retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied and CS remains asserted or in standby mode-making it ideal for simple, reliable memory interfacing in microcontroller systems.
Can the IDT71256SA12PZ8 be used with 3.3 V microcontrollers?
The IDT71256SA12PZ8 is specified for 4.5 V to 5.5 V operation and TTL-compatible I/O levels (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). Direct connection to 3.3 V logic is not recommended without level translation, as its inputs may not reliably recognize 3.3 V HIGH signals and its 5 V outputs exceed 3.3 V I/O absolute maximum ratings.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby current in the IDT71256SA12PZ8?
ISB (50 mA max) applies when CS is held at TTL HIGH (>2.0 V), while ISB1 (15 mA max) applies when CS is driven to CMOS HIGH (>VCC – 0.2 V). ISB1 enables deeper power savings in systems where the controller can drive CS fully to VCC, such as with buffered address/control buses or FPGA I/O banks configured for full-swing output.
Is the IDT71256SA12PZ8 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the IDT71256SA12PZ8 is a Renesas "Green" part-compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information section of the Renesas datasheet (Rev. Jun.29.20), where "Green" availability is explicitly noted for this part number.
