Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA15PZ from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access and cycle times, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and industrial-grade temperature support (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as a non-refreshing, fully static memory buffer in embedded controllers, legacy industrial PLCs, and instrumentation data acquisition systems requiring deterministic timing.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA15PZ datasheet, IDT71256SA15PZ pinout, IDT71256SA15PZ application, or IDT71256SA15PZ equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 15 ns tAA/tRC timing under industrial conditions, TSOP-28 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts, low ISB1 standby current (15 mA), and direct TTL-level interface without level-shifting.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA15PZ implements fully static asynchronous architecture-no clocks or refresh cycles required-and uses dual-control enable logic with independent Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) inputs to manage read/write state transitions. Its bidirectional I/O bus supports true three-state output control via OE and CS, enabling clean bus sharing in multi-device systems.
It operates across 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply range with guaranteed VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, ensuring robust noise margin in mixed-signal environments. Standby current drops to 15 mA (ISB1) when CS is held above VHC, making it suitable for intermittent-access applications like firmware scratchpad or configuration storage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit array); supports byte-wide parallel data transfers without interleaving or banking logic |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C; enables 66.7 MHz burst read capability in synchronous glue logic |
| Cycle Time (tRC) | 15 ns max; defines minimum interval between successive read/write operations on same address |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V, f = 0; reduces power in idle states without sacrificing wake-up latency |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input and TTL-output levels; eliminates need for external level translators when interfacing with 74LS/ALS or microcontroller GPIO |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28); 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm footprint with 0.55 mm pitch, optimized for automated SMT assembly |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm body, 0.55 mm lead pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting full 32K address space; no internal latching-address must be stable before CS/OE assertion |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; high-impedance when CS = high or OE = high during reads, tri-stated during writes when WE = low |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low device enable; controls power-down (ISB1) when high and VCC ≥ 4.5 V; asserts internal standby mode |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle only when CS = low; disables outputs during write (tWHZ = 6 ns max) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output control; enables read data drive (tOE = 7 ns max) while CS = low; overrides WE during read |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V nominal supply input; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm of pin per layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; requires low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Zero-refresh static operation | Eliminates DRAM controller complexity and refresh overhead in microcontroller-based systems |
| Dual-enable read control (CS + OE) | Enables precise output gating-OE can disable outputs mid-cycle without deselecting chip, reducing bus contention |
| Low ISB1 standby current (15 mA) | Supports battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications where memory remains powered but inactive for extended periods |
| TTL-compatible I/O thresholds | Guarantees interoperability with legacy 5 V logic families without voltage translation circuitry |
| Industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) | Validated for deployment in uncontrolled environments such as factory-floor HMIs, motor drives, and outdoor telemetry units |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI | 512K × 8-bit, 45 ns access, 3.3 V core (with 5 V tolerant I/O), TSOP-28 | Higher density but slower speed; requires 3.3 V supply rail and level-aware design | Select only if migrating to lower-voltage systems and additional memory capacity is needed |
| AS6C4008-15ZIN | 512K × 8-bit, 15 ns access, 5 V operation, TSOP-28, higher ICC (25 mA active) | Same speed and voltage, but larger capacity and higher active power draw | Prefer when board layout allows same footprint and >256 Kbit capacity is required |
Compared with IDT71256SA15PZ, CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI trades speed for voltage scalability and density, while AS6C4008-15ZIN matches timing but increases capacity and active current-neither offers pin-to-pin compatibility, requiring address/data bus re-routing and timing validation.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for IDT71256SA15PZ?
IDT71256SA15PZ is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is validated per the datasheet's Recommended Operating Conditions table and applies to all AC/DC electrical parameters including tAA = 15 ns, ISB1 = 15 mA, and VIH/VIL thresholds. The part is not qualified for commercial-only grades (0°C to +70°C) in this specific PZ package variant.
Does IDT71256SA15PZ require a clock or refresh signal?
No, IDT71256SA15PZ uses fully static CMOS memory cells and requires no clock, refresh cycles, or periodic access to retain data. Its asynchronous interface responds solely to CS, OE, and WE control signals. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead in microcontroller or FPGA-based systems, simplifying memory controller design for IDT71256SA15PZ integration.
What is the maximum output drive capability of IDT71256SA15PZ I/O pins?
IDT71256SA15PZ guarantees VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 8 mA and VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = –4 mA under VCC = 4.5 V minimum. These values confirm direct drive capability into standard TTL loads (e.g., 74LS inputs) without external buffers. The datasheet specifies |ILO| ≤ 5 µA leakage, ensuring minimal bus loading during high-Z states.
Can IDT71256SA15PZ be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
IDT71256SA15PZ is a 5 V-only device with VIH minimum = 2.2 V and VIL maximum = 0.8 V. While its inputs accept 3.3 V logic HIGH, its outputs swing to 5 V levels and may damage 3.3 V-only receivers. Direct interface requires level translation or bus isolation. For native 3.3 V systems, consider alternatives like CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI-not IDT71256SA15PZ.
What package type does IDT71256SA15PZ use, and is it RoHS compliant?
IDT71256SA15PZ uses a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package, 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm body size, 0.55 mm lead pitch. Per Renesas' ordering information and datasheet revision history (June 2020), this variant is a "Green" part-lead-free, halogen-free, and RoHS compliant, with packaging marked "G" in the orderable part number suffix.
