Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA12PZI from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 12 ns access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), TSOP-28 package, and TTL-compatible bidirectional I/O. It operates from a single 5 V supply, uses fully static asynchronous logic (no clock or refresh), and supports fast read/write cycles in embedded controllers, legacy industrial PLCs, and real-time data buffering systems.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA12PZI datasheet, IDT71256SA12PZI pinout, IDT71256SA12PZI application, or IDT71256SA12PZI equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12 ns access at industrial temperature, low standby current (ISB1 = 15 mA), dual chip select/output enable control, and compatibility with legacy 5 V bus architectures requiring pin-level TTL signaling.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA12PZI implements a fully static memory array with asynchronous address decoding and independent chip select (CS) and output enable (OE) control lines-enabling flexible read timing and output gating. Its internal logic ensures no hold time violations during address transitions and guarantees tOH = 3 ns output hold from address change.
It features two distinct standby modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40 mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15 mA max), allowing power optimization based on system-level control voltage thresholds. All inputs meet standard TTL voltage levels (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and drive outputs compliant with VOH ≥ 2.4 V and VOL ≤ 0.4 V under load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide parallel data interface without external data multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns maximum at TA = –40°C to +85°C; enables 83 MHz burst read capability in synchronous bus wrappers |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with legacy 5 V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA maximum at VCC = 5.5 V, CMOS-level CS deassertion; reduces idle power in always-on industrial modules |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed access time for IDT71256SA12PZI across its full operating temperature range?
The IDT71256SA12PZI has a maximum guaranteed address access time (tAA) of 12 ns over the full industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This specification is production-tested and applies to all units shipped under this part number, ensuring deterministic timing behavior in thermally demanding applications without derating.
Does IDT71256SA12PZI require a refresh circuit or clock signal to retain data?
No, the IDT71256SA12PZI is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh circuitry or clock signal. Its CMOS memory array retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is maintained within 4.5 V to 5.5 V and ambient temperature remains within –40°C to +85°C. This eliminates refresh overhead in microcontroller-based systems and simplifies power management design.
Can IDT71256SA12PZI be used with modern 3.3 V microcontrollers?
IDT71256SA12PZI is specified for 5 V operation only (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V) and features TTL-compatible I/O thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). While some 3.3 V controllers may tolerate 5 V inputs, direct connection risks damage or unreliable operation. A level-shifting buffer or voltage translator is required for safe interfacing with 3.3 V logic.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby current specifications for IDT71256SA12PZI?
IDT71256SA12PZI defines two standby modes: ISB (40 mA max) activates when CS rises above VIH (≥2.2 V), matching TTL logic thresholds; ISB1 (15 mA max) activates only when CS exceeds VHC (VCC – 0.2 V), requiring CMOS-level deassertion. Designers select ISB1 for lowest power but must ensure control logic meets tighter voltage thresholds.
Is IDT71256SA12PZI RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, IDT71256SA12PZI is a green (lead-free) device compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH regulations. The "PZI" suffix denotes industrial temperature grade and lead-free TSOP packaging, and the device carries appropriate markings per J-STD-609. Full compliance documentation is available upon request from Aetrix Electronics.
