Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA12YI 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 fast, non-refreshing main or buffer memory in real-time control systems requiring deterministic read/write latency.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA12YI datasheet, IDT71256SA12YI pinout, IDT71256SA12YI application, or IDT71256SA12YI equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, package mapping to 28-pin SOJ (PJG28), industrial-grade DC/AC specs, and functionally matched alternatives for legacy system maintenance and drop-in replacement planning.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA12YI implements fully static asynchronous circuitry-no clocks or refresh required-and uses dual-control logic with independent Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) inputs to manage read/write cycles and output impedance states. Its bidirectional I/O pins operate directly at TTL voltage levels without external level-shifting.
It supports two distinct standby modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15mA max), enabling dynamic power optimization in intermittently active embedded systems. All timing parameters-including tAA (12ns), tRC (12ns), and tOE (6ns)-are guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); enables byte-wide data bus interfacing without multiplexing or external data-width conversion. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 12 ns max; ensures sub-83 MHz sustained random-access throughput in microcontroller or FPGA-based memory subsystems. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial automation, transportation, and outdoor equipment deployments. |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-compatible inputs and outputs; eliminates need for interface buffers when connecting to 5V microcontrollers or CPLDs. |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at CMOS-level CS deassertion; reduces idle power by >60% versus TTL-level standby mode. |
| Package | 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28); surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and legacy through-hole board footprints via adapter. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28), lead pitch 0.050", body width 0.300", compliant with JEDEC MO-050AB.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word addressing; no internal latching-address must be stable before CS/WE transitions. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; direction controlled implicitly by CS/WE/OE states-no external direction control needed. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable for device selection; asserts internal logic and powers array-deassertion enters ISB or ISB1 standby per input threshold. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers only; allows read operations while CS remains asserted, enabling interleaved access schemes. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle on falling edge when CS is low-timing-critical for tWP (8ns min) and tDW (6ns min). |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Single 5V supply with dedicated VCC and GND pins; decoupling required within 10 mm of VCC/GND pair per JEDEC SOJ layout guidelines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 12ns Access + 12ns Cycle Time | Enables deterministic 83 MHz burst read/write operation in tightly timed control loops without wait states. |
| Dual Standby Modes (ISB/ISB1) | Reduces quiescent current from 40 mA to 15 mA when CS driven above VHC, improving thermal margin in sealed enclosures. |
| TTL-Compatible I/O | Direct connection to legacy 8051, Z80, or FPGA I/O banks without level translators-reducing BOM count and signal integrity risk. |
| Industrial Temperature Range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in motor drives, PLC backplanes, and railway signaling hardware. |
| Green (RoHS-Compliant) Packaging | Pb-free SOJ construction meets EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and supports lead-free reflow assembly. |

|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZAXI | 32K × 8-bit, 45ns access, 3.3V core (with 5V-tolerant I/O), TSOP-28 package | Lower speed but lower voltage; requires level translation for pure 5V systems | Select when migrating to 3.3V domains or when 45ns latency is acceptable for cost reduction |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed access time for IDT71256SA12YI across its full operating temperature range?
The IDT71256SA12YI has a maximum guaranteed address access time (tAA) of 12 ns over the full industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table under the 71256SA12 speed grade. This value is production-tested and applies to all valid VCC (4.5 V to 5.5 V) and loading conditions defined in the datasheet.
Does IDT71256SA12YI require a clock or refresh circuit to operate?
No, the IDT71256SA12YI uses fully static asynchronous circuitry and requires no clock signal or periodic refresh cycles. It retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is maintained within specification and CS is held high (deselected) or low (selected) with appropriate timing-making it ideal for simple, low-overhead memory interfaces.
Which package type does IDT71256SA12YI use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
IDT71256SA12YI is packaged in a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28) and is RoHS-compliant ("Green") per Renesas' ordering information. The "Y" in the part number denotes SOJ packaging, and the "I" suffix confirms industrial temperature qualification and Pb-free construction.
How does the dual standby mode (ISB vs. ISB1) affect power consumption in IDT71256SA12YI?
IDT71256SA12YI draws 40 mA max in ISB mode (CS > VIH) and only 15 mA max in ISB1 mode (CS > VHC), providing a 62.5% reduction in standby current. Designers achieve ISB1 by driving CS above VHC (≈4.8 V at VCC = 5.0 V), which is feasible using a simple resistor divider or logic-level shifter in 5V systems.
Can IDT71256SA12YI be used as a direct replacement for IDT71256SA12YG in existing designs?
Yes-IDT71256SA12YI and IDT71256SA12YG share identical electrical specifications, pinout, and SOJ-28 (PJG28) package; the "I" suffix denotes industrial temperature qualification, while "Y" indicates SOJ packaging. No PCB or firmware changes are required when upgrading from commercial to industrial grade in the same speed and package variant.
