Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA12YGI8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM operating at 5V, with 12ns access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), TTL-compatible I/O, and single-chip-select architecture. It serves as main or buffer memory in real-time control systems requiring deterministic read/write timing without refresh.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA12YGI8 datasheet, IDT71256SA12YGI8 pinout, IDT71256SA12YGI8 application, or IDT71256SA12YGI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 12ns tAA under industrial conditions, low 15mA ISB1 standby current, TSOP/SOJ package compatibility, and direct TTL-level interfacing with microcontrollers and FPGAs.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA12YGI8 implements fully static asynchronous circuitry-no clocks or refresh required-and uses dual-control enable logic with independent Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) inputs to manage data bus contention. Its bidirectional I/O pins support true three-state operation with tOHZ ≤ 6ns and tOLZ = 0ns.
It operates across VCC = 4.5V to 5.5V with VIH ≥ 2.2V and VIL ≤ 0.8V, ensuring robust noise margin in mixed-signal environments. The device supports both CS-controlled and OE-controlled read cycles, and write operations are gated by simultaneous CS and WE assertion per JEDEC-standard SRAM timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns max - guarantees deterministic read latency for 83 MHz bus handshaking |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with legacy 5V TTL and LVTTL logic families |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max - enables ultra-low-power hold mode when CS > VHC |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial automation and transportation control units |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-level - directly interfaces with 80Cxx, Z80, and FPGA I/O banks without level shifters |
| Package | 28-pin 300-mil SOJ (PJG28) - surface-mountable with standard reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28), lead pitch 0.05 inches, body width 0.3 inches, compliant with JEDEC MS-012.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | True three-state I/O with separate OE/WE control; drives/receives TTL loads directly |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; deassertion places outputs in high-Z and reduces ICC to ISB1 (15 mA) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low; controls output drivers independently of CS for bus sharing |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low; initiates write cycle when CS = L; defines tWP (8 ns min) and tDW (6 ns min) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed parallel SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256ELL-12ZXI | Same 32K×8 organization, 12ns tAA, but 32-pin SOIC package (not pin-compatible); higher ISB (25 mA) | Requires PCB redesign due to 32-pin footprint; better suited for new designs with space for wider SOIC | Select if board layout allows SOIC and lower standby current is not critical |
| AS6C4008-12BIN | 12ns tAA, 32K×8, 28-pin SOJ, but only commercial temp (0°C to +70°C); slightly higher tOHZ (8ns vs. 6ns) | Limited to non-industrial environments; unsuitable for extended outdoor or under-hood deployment | Select only for cost-sensitive commercial equipment with controlled ambient |
Compared with CY62256ELL-12ZXI and AS6C4008-12BIN, the IDT71256SA12YGI8 uniquely delivers industrial-temperature 12ns performance in the compact 28-pin SOJ form factor with the lowest ISB1 (15 mA), making it optimal for space-constrained, thermally demanding embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum clock frequency supported by IDT71256SA12YGI8?
IDT71256SA12YGI8 is an asynchronous static RAM and does not use a clock signal. Its timing is governed by access parameters such as tRC (12 ns read cycle time) and tWC (12 ns write cycle time), enabling reliable operation with bus controllers running up to 83 MHz (1/12 ns) when timing margins are observed. No internal clock circuitry exists in the IDT71256SA12YGI8.
Does IDT71256SA12YGI8 require refresh circuitry?
No, IDT71256SA12YGI8 is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh cycles or external refresh controllers. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as power is applied and CS remains asserted, making it ideal for systems where deterministic timing and zero-refresh overhead are essential - a core architectural feature of the IDT71256SA12YGI8.
What is the meaning of "YGI8" in IDT71256SA12YGI8?
In IDT71256SA12YGI8, "YG" denotes 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ package (PJG28), "I" indicates Industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C), and "8" specifies tape-and-reel packaging format. This full suffix confirms the IDT71256SA12YGI8 is supplied in moisture-sensitive, machine-ready reels compliant with J-STD-020C.
Can IDT71256SA12YGI8 be used with 3.3V microcontrollers?
IDT71256SA12YGI8 operates strictly at 5V (4.5–5.5V) and has TTL-compatible I/O thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V). Direct interface with 3.3V-only microcontrollers is not recommended without level translation, as its VIL max (0.8V) may not reliably recognize 3.3V logic LOWs. The IDT71256SA12YGI8 is intended for 5V system integration.
Is IDT71256SA12YGI8 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, IDT71256SA12YGI8 is a green part: it is RoHS-compliant (Directive 2011/65/EU), lead-free, and halogen-free, as confirmed in the Renesas ordering information and datasheet revision history dated June 29, 2020. The "G" in the package code explicitly denotes green material content for the IDT71256SA12YGI8.
