Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA15PZ8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM operating at 5V, with 15ns access time and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), packaged in 28-pin TSOP (PZG28). It features TTL-compatible bidirectional I/O, separate chip select (CS) and output enable (OE), and low-power standby modes (ISB1 = 15mA). Used in legacy industrial controllers requiring deterministic, non-refreshed memory access.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA15PZ8 datasheet, IDT71256SA15PZ8 pinout, IDT71256SA15PZ8 application, or IDT71256SA15PZ8 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, package mapping, functional role in asynchronous memory subsystems, and validated alternatives for drop-in replacement or design continuity planning.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA15PZ8 implements fully static asynchronous logic with no clocks or refresh required. Its address decoding, I/O control, and output enable circuitry operate independently - enabling deterministic read/write timing across all 15ns-rated conditions (tAA, tRC, tWC).
It supports two standby power states: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15mA max), with fast output disable (tOHZ ≤ 6ns) and chip-select-to-output (tCLZ = 4ns) for tight bus timing control in microprocessor co-processor interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), single-word random access without refresh |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15ns maximum - guarantees data valid within 15ns of stable address and CS assertion |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5V to 5.5V - compatible with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic rails |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15mA maximum at VCC = 5.5V - enables ultra-low-power hold mode when CS > VHC |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input and TTL-output levels - direct interface with 5V microcontrollers and FPGAs |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 8.1mm × 13.4mm footprint - surface-mount compatible with automated assembly |

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for IDT71256SA15PZ8?
IDT71256SA15PZ8 operates over a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V, fully compliant with standard 5V TTL logic families. This range ensures robust noise margin and compatibility with legacy 5V microprocessor buses such as those found in Z80, 80C88, and 68000-based systems. The device draws dynamic current up to 150mA at VCC = 5.5V and fMAX.
Does IDT71256SA15PZ8 require a clock or refresh signal?
No, IDT71256SA15PZ8 uses fully static CMOS circuitry and requires no clock, refresh, or periodic access to retain data. Its asynchronous design means data remains valid indefinitely as long as VCC is maintained within specification and CS is held active during reads/writes. This eliminates DRAM controller overhead and simplifies firmware in resource-constrained systems.
What is the meaning of "PZ8" in IDT71256SA15PZ8?
The "PZ8" suffix in IDT71256SA15PZ8 indicates a 28-pin TSOP Type I package (PZG28) supplied in tape-and-reel format (8). This matches Renesas' ordering convention where "PZ" = TSOP, "G" = green (lead-free), and "8" = tape-and-reel packaging - confirming surface-mount compatibility and RoHS compliance for automated assembly lines.
How does IDT71256SA15PZ8 handle power-down states?
IDT71256SA15PZ8 supports two distinct low-power standby modes: ISB (CS > VIH, 40mA max) and ISB1 (CS > VHC, 15mA max). ISB1 activates only when CS exceeds the CMOS-high threshold (VCC – 0.2V), enabling deeper power savings than standard TTL-level deassertion - critical for battery-backed or energy-harvesting applications.
Is IDT71256SA15PZ8 pin-compatible with other 28-pin SRAMs?
IDT71256SA15PZ8 follows industry-standard 28-pin TSOP pinout for 32K × 8 SRAMs (A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CS, OE, WE, VCC, GND). It is mechanically and functionally pin-compatible with AS6C4008-15TIN and Cypress CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT, though voltage and timing differences must be verified per application. Pin mapping is confirmed in Renesas datasheet Figure 2a.
