Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA15Y8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 15 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It features separate Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) pins, bidirectional data bus, and low-power standby modes - used in legacy industrial controllers, instrumentation buffers, and embedded system boot memory.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA15Y8 datasheet, IDT71256SA15Y8 pinout, IDT71256SA15Y8 application, or IDT71256SA15Y8 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, package mapping to PJG28 SOJ, functional truth table behavior, industrial-grade reliability data, and direct alternative part comparisons for memory upgrade or obsolescence mitigation.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA15Y8 implements fully static asynchronous architecture - no clocks or refresh required - with independent CS and OE control enabling flexible read/write gating. Its address decoding supports 15-bit addressing (A0–A14), and bidirectional I/O lines (I/O0–I/O7) operate at TTL voltage levels with 6 ns OE-to-output delay.
Two standby current modes are supported: ISB (TTL-level CS deassertion, 40 mA max) and ISB1 (CMOS-level CS deassertion, 15 mA max), enabling power optimization based on system logic family. All DC and AC parameters - including tAA = 15 ns, tRC = 15 ns, tWP = 10 ns - are guaranteed across –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide data transfers without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15 ns max; determines minimum latency between address valid and stable output data |
| Cycle Time (tRC) | 15 ns max; defines shortest interval between successive read or write operations |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails without regulation overhead |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial environments including factory automation and test equipment |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V; achieved when CS driven above VHC (VCC – 0.2 V), enabling ultra-low idle power |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input and TTL-output compatible; eliminates level-shifting requirements in mixed-logic systems |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28), surface-mount, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MS-013 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel interface; functions as input during write, output during read, high-Z when disabled |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; device responds only when CS = L; controls ISB/ISB1 standby entry |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low read control; enables output drivers independently of CS; tOE = 7 ns max |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write control; initiates write cycle when CS = L and WE = L; tWP = 10 ns min |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor placement near Pin 24 critical for noise immunity |
| GND | Ground | Reference return path; Pin 14 must be connected to system ground plane for signal integrity |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed access time for IDT71256SA15Y8?
The IDT71256SA15Y8 has a maximum guaranteed address access time (tAA) of 15 ns across the full industrial temperature range (–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. The IDT71256SA15Y8 maintains this timing without derating under worst-case voltage and temperature conditions.
Does IDT71256SA15Y8 support true bidirectional I/O operation?
Yes, IDT71256SA15Y8 supports true bidirectional data transfer on I/O0–I/O7. During write cycles (CS = L, WE = L), these pins act as inputs accepting data; during read cycles (CS = L, OE = L), they function as outputs driving data. When CS = H or OE = H (and WE = H), all I/O pins enter high-impedance state - confirmed by the Truth Table and functional block diagram in the Renesas datasheet for IDT71256SA15Y8.
What package type and pin count does IDT71256SA15Y8 use?
IDT71256SA15Y8 uses a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (Small Outline J-lead) package, designated PJG28 per Renesas ordering information. It features gull-wing leads, JEDEC MS-013 outline, and is compatible with standard SOJ reflow profiles. The pinout - including A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CS, OE, WE, VCC, and GND - is identical across all 28-pin variants of the IDT71256SA family.
Is IDT71256SA15Y8 RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, IDT71256SA15Y8 is a green, RoHS-compliant device. Renesas explicitly states "Green parts available" in the Features section and confirms "Restricted hazardous substance device" status in the Ordering Information. The "Y" in the part number denotes SOJ packaging, and the "8" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging - both consistent with Renesas' green manufacturing program for IDT71256SA15Y8.
How does the standby current differ between ISB and ISB1 modes for IDT71256SA15Y8?
IDT71256SA15Y8 offers two standby current modes: ISB (40 mA max) activates when CS rises above VIH (2.2 V), while ISB1 (15 mA max) engages when CS exceeds VHC (VCC – 0.2 V ≈ 4.8 V at VCC = 5.0 V). ISB1 delivers ~63% lower current draw but requires tighter logic-high drive - a design trade-off documented in the DC Electrical Characteristics table for IDT71256SA15Y8.
