Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA15PZI8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 15 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and TSOP-28 package. It serves as main or buffer memory in real-time control systems requiring deterministic, no-refresh asynchronous read/write.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA15PZI8 datasheet, IDT71256SA15PZI8 pinout, IDT71256SA15PZI8 application, or IDT71256SA15PZI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade timing consistency, low standby current (ISB1 = 15 mA), bidirectional TTL I/O compatibility, and TSOP-28 footprint suitability for space-constrained embedded controllers.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA15PZI8 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 and power state transitions. Its architecture supports both CS-controlled and OE-controlled read cycles, enabling flexible timing integration in microprocessor and microcontroller bus interfaces.
It features two distinct standby modes: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40 mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15 mA max), allowing system-level power optimization based on control signal drive capability. All 15 ns timing parameters-including tAA, tRC, tACS, and tOE-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); supports byte-wide parallel data transfer without multiplexing. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V and TA = –40°C to +85°C; ensures deterministic latency in hard real-time interrupt handlers. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with legacy 5 V TTL/CMOS bus environments without level-shifting. |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max under CMOS-level CS deassertion; enables ultra-low-power sleep states in battery-backed controllers. |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible bidirectional data bus (I/O0–I/O7); directly interfaces with 5 V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial automation, transportation, and outdoor instrumentation deployments. |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28); 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm footprint with gull-wing leads for reflow-solderable PCB assembly. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 8.1 mm × 13.4 mm body, 0.5 mm lead pitch, gull-wing surface-mount terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0–32767 row/column decode; all inputs TTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2.2 V. |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CS or OE inactive; drives/receives 5 V TTL levels. |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable controlling device activation; dual-threshold support (TTL/CMOS) for ISB/ISB1 power modes. |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control of output drivers only; allows read operations while CS remains asserted. |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle overlap with CS; determines tWP (10 ns min) and tDW (7 ns min). |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±10% supply input; decoupling required per high-speed RAM layout guidelines. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power return; separate ground plane recommended to minimize noise coupling into I/O paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Industrial temperature qualification | Guaranteed 15 ns timing and full functionality from –40°C to +85°C-enables deployment in uncontrolled environmental enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZAXI | 45 ns access time; 3.3 V supply only; 32K × 8 organization; SOIC-28 package. | Requires voltage translation in 5 V systems; slower timing limits use in sub-µs response loops. | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and timing budget allows ≥45 ns latency. |
| AS6C4008-15ZIN | 15 ns access time; 5 V supply; 512K × 8 organization; TSOP-32 package. | Larger density and different pinout (32-pin vs 28-pin); not drop-in compatible due to extra address lines and VPP pin. | Consider for new designs needing >256K capacity-but requires PCB redesign and firmware address map update. |
Compared with CY62128EV30LL-45ZAXI and AS6C4008-15ZIN, the IDT71256SA15PZI8 uniquely delivers 15 ns industrial-grade performance in a pin-compatible 28-pin TSOP footprint with native 5 V operation-making it the only direct replacement for legacy 5 V SRAM-based control systems requiring no layout or voltage rail changes.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed access time for IDT71256SA15PZI8 across its full operating temperature range?
IDT71256SA15PZI8 guarantees a maximum address access time (tAA) of 15 ns over the full industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C at VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This value is production-tested and specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table under the 71256SA15 speed grade column.
Does IDT71256SA15PZI8 require a refresh circuit or clock signal to retain data?
No, IDT71256SA15PZI8 is a fully static RAM using asynchronous CMOS circuitry. It retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied and CS is held high (deselected) or low (selected) - no clocks, timers, or external refresh logic are needed. This simplifies design in microcontroller-based systems lacking DRAM controllers.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby current specifications for IDT71256SA15PZI8?
IDT71256SA15PZI8 defines two standby modes: ISB (40 mA max) activates when CS exceeds VIH (TTL threshold), while ISB1 (15 mA max) activates when CS exceeds VHC (CMOS threshold, ~VCC–0.2 V). ISB1 enables deeper power savings but requires cleaner, rail-to-rail CS drive-critical for battery-backed applications.
Can IDT71256SA15PZI8 be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
IDT71256SA15PZI8 operates exclusively from a 5 V supply (4.5–5.5 V) and has TTL-compatible I/O thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V). While it can accept 3.3 V logic HIGH inputs safely, its outputs swing to 5 V levels. Direct connection to 3.3 V-only I/O ports requires level-shifting or series resistors to avoid damage or excessive current draw.
Is IDT71256SA15PZI8 compliant with modern environmental regulations such as RoHS and REACH?
Yes, IDT71256SA15PZI8 is a green (halogen-free) device compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. The datasheet explicitly states "Green parts available" and confirms restricted hazardous substance compliance in the Ordering Information section.
