Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA20PZI from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), 20 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and TSOP-28 packaging. It serves as a non-refreshing, fully static memory buffer in real-time control systems requiring deterministic read/write timing.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA20PZI datasheet, IDT71256SA20PZI pinout, IDT71256SA20PZI application, or IDT71256SA20PZI equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated TSOP-28 pin mapping, industrial-grade reliability data, and direct alternative part comparisons for legacy system maintenance and BOM continuity planning.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA20PZI implements fully static asynchronous architecture-no clocks or refresh cycles required-enabling deterministic timing in interrupt-driven embedded systems. Its dual enable logic (CS + OE) supports independent output gating and chip-level power management, with standby current as low as 15 mA under CMOS-level deselection.
It features bidirectional TTL-compatible I/Os (VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 8 mA), 7 pF input/I/O capacitance, and guaranteed AC timing across industrial temperature: tAA = 20 ns, tRC = 20 ns, tOE = 10 ns, and tPD = 20 ns, all tested per JEDEC JESD-8A load conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit array), no refresh required |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns max - guarantees data valid within 20 ns of stable address + CS/OE assertion |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control, motor drives, and factory automation |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max - ultra-low power in CMOS-level deselected state (CS > VHC) |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible bidirectional data bus (I/O0–I/O7) - interfaces directly with 5 V microcontrollers without level shifters |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 8.9 mm × 12.2 mm footprint - surface-mount compatible with high-density PCB layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256ELL-20ZXI | Same 32K×8 organization, 20 ns speed, industrial temp, but uses 28-pin SOJ (PJG28) instead of TSOP (PZG28); slightly higher ISB (25 mA vs. 15 mA) | Requires PCB pad redesign due to SOJ vs. TSOP footprint; suitable where board rework is acceptable and SOJ soldering infrastructure exists | Select when legacy SOJ assembly lines are in place and thermal profile favors SOJ over TSOP |
| AS6C4008-20BIN | Pin-compatible 32K×8 TSOP-28 SRAM, 20 ns, industrial temp, but rated for 2.7–3.6 V only-not 5 V compatible | Not electrically interchangeable: requires full voltage rail redesign (3.3 V system), incompatible with 5 V TTL buses | Choose only for new 3.3 V designs seeking lower power; not a drop-in replacement for IDT71256SA20PZI |
Compared with CY62256ELL-20ZXI and AS6C4008-20BIN, the IDT71256SA20PZI uniquely combines 5 V TTL compatibility, TSOP-28 footprint, and 15 mA CMOS standby current-making it the sole option for maintaining legacy 5 V industrial systems without layout or voltage changes.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range specified for the IDT71256SA20PZI?
The IDT71256SA20PZI is qualified for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This rating is explicitly confirmed in the datasheet's "Recommended Operating Conditions" table and "Ordering Information" section, where the "I" suffix denotes industrial grade. The device maintains full 20 ns timing performance and 15 mA standby current across this entire range.
Is the IDT71256SA20PZI pin-compatible with other 32K×8 SRAMs in TSOP-28 packages?
Yes-the IDT71256SA20PZI follows industry-standard 28-pin TSOP Type I pinout (PZG28), matching pin-for-pin with legacy 32K×8 SRAMs such as the IDT71256SA15PZGI and Cypress CY62256ELL-20ZXI (SOJ variant excepted). Its A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CS, WE, OE, VCC, and GND assignments align precisely with JEDEC MO-153 specifications for 28-pin SRAMs.
Does the IDT71256SA20PZI require a refresh circuit or clock signal?
No-the IDT71256SA20PZI is a fully static RAM using asynchronous CMOS design. It requires no clock, no refresh cycles, and no external timing control beyond address, data, and control signals (CS, WE, OE). This eliminates refresh-related timing jitter and simplifies integration into deterministic real-time systems like PLCs and motor controllers.
What is the maximum output drive capability of the IDT71256SA20PZI I/O pins?
The IDT71256SA20PZI I/O pins deliver TTL-compatible drive strength: VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –4 mA sink (high-level output) and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 8 mA source (low-level output), per DC Electrical Characteristics Table 5. This ensures reliable interfacing with standard 5 V microcontrollers, FPGAs, and peripheral ICs without external buffers.
Is the IDT71256SA20PZI compliant with RoHS and green manufacturing standards?
Yes-the IDT71256SA20PZI is a Renesas "Green" part, meaning it is lead-free, halogen-free, and compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-001. This is confirmed in the "Ordering Information" section (footnote "G" = Green) and the "Datasheet Document History" (updated April 2011 to reflect Green status).
