Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA25PZ from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 25 ns access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), TSOP-28 package, TTL-compatible I/O, and single 5 V supply operation. It serves as main or buffer memory in embedded controllers, industrial PLCs, and legacy instrumentation requiring deterministic asynchronous read/write timing.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA25PZ datasheet, IDT71256SA25PZ pinout, IDT71256SA25PZ application, or IDT71256SA25PZ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 25 ns tAA/tRC timing under industrial conditions, low ISB1 standby current (15 mA), dual chip select/output enable control logic, and TSOP-28 footprint compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA25PZ implements fully static asynchronous architecture-no clocks or refresh required-with independent address decoding, bidirectional TTL-compatible I/O drivers, and dual-level chip deselect (TTL- and CMOS-compatible CS thresholds). Its control logic supports both WE-controlled and CS-controlled write cycles, with tWHZ ≤ 11 ns ensuring clean bus release before data input.
Timing is characterized across industrial temperature and 4.5–5.5 V supply, with tCLZ = 4 ns and tOHZ = 10 ns enabling fast output enable transitions, while tPD = 25 ns guarantees full power-down after chip deselect-critical for low-power intermittent operation in battery-backed systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide parallel data transfers without multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns max at VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, TA = –40°C to +85°C; ensures deterministic latency in real-time control loops |
| Cycle Time (tRC) | 25 ns max; defines minimum interval between successive read/write operations |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V, f = 0; enables ultra-low-power hold mode when CS > VHC |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL-input/outputs; interfaces directly with 74LS/74F logic and microcontroller GPIO without level shifters |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial automation, transportation, and outdoor equipment environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 300-mil width, JEDEC MO-141 compliant, surface-mountable with 0.55 mm pitch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus; selects one of 32,768 memory locations (215) |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path; direction controlled by WE and OE states |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; device enters standby (high-Z I/O, low ISB) when high |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low; enables output drivers only during read cycles; tOE ≤ 11 ns |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low; initiates write cycle when CS and WE both low; tWP ≥ 20 ns minimum |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling required within 10 mm of pin per high-speed RAM layout rules |
| GND | Ground | Signal reference; separate ground plane recommended for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully static asynchronous operation | No clock, no refresh, no wait states-simplifies timing-critical MCU interfacing |
| Dual standby modes (ISB/ISB1) | 15 mA ISB1 current when CS > VHC enables deeper power savings than TTL-level deselect |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct connection to legacy 5 V microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, Z80) and peripheral ICs without interface logic |
| Industrial temperature qualification | Guaranteed 25 ns timing across –40°C to +85°C-validates use in uncontrolled ambient environments |
| TSOP-28 footprint | Compact 18.4 mm × 8.2 mm surface-mount package; replaces DIP/SOJ in space-constrained designs |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Memory Buffer | Legacy Test Equipment Data Storage |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing real-time sensor acquisition buffers and program instruction cache in programmable logic controllers deployed in factory-floor cabinets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous SRAM providing zero-wait-state memory access for deterministic scan-cycle execution. Use Value: 25 ns tAA ensures sub-microsecond response to I/O interrupt events, meeting IEC 61131-3 cycle-time requirements. | Use Scenario: Holding calibration tables and waveform capture buffers in benchtop oscilloscopes and signal generators built before 2010. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Non-refreshed, pin-compatible drop-in replacement for obsolete 28-pin SRAMs in repair and obsolescence mitigation. Use Value: TSOP-28 package and identical pinout allow direct PCB reuse-no layout revision needed for field upgrades. |
| Avionics Data Logger | Medical Imaging Control Board |
Use Scenario: Capturing flight parameter snapshots (altitude, attitude, engine telemetry) during transient events in certified airborne systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Radiation-tolerant (per design heritage), non-volatile-buffer SRAM holding critical pre-failure data before power loss. Use Value: Industrial-grade temperature margin and 15 mA ISB1 support extended battery-backed hold time during brownout conditions. | Use Scenario: Supporting real-time image processing pipelines in ultrasound and X-ray control boards where deterministic latency is mandatory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability, low-jitter memory for frame buffering between FPGA-based image processors and display controllers. Use Value: tOH = 3 ns and tCHZ ≤ 11 ns minimize bus contention windows, reducing risk of data corruption in multi-master configurations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256ELL-25ZXI | Same 32K × 8 organization, 25 ns speed, industrial temp, but uses SOIC-28 (not TSOP); higher ICC (160 mA vs. 145 mA) | Requires PCB pad redesign due to SOIC-28 footprint; unsuitable for space-constrained TSOP layouts | Select only if SOIC mounting is preferred and board rework is acceptable |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 25 ns access, industrial temp, TSOP-28, but 5 V ±10% tolerance tighter (4.75–5.25 V); lower ISB1 (5 µA vs. 15 mA) | Lower standby current benefits battery-powered devices; narrower VCC window requires tighter regulator control | Choose when ultra-low ISB1 is prioritized and supply regulation meets spec |
Compared with CY62256ELL-25ZXI and AS6C4008-25ZIN, the IDT71256SA25PZ offers optimal balance of TSOP-28 compatibility, 4.5–5.5 V supply flexibility, and proven industrial reliability-making it the preferred choice for legacy system sustainment and industrial control retrofit programs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for IDT71256SA25PZ?
IDT71256SA25PZ is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all AC and DC parameters-including 25 ns access time, 15 mA ISB1 standby current, and TTL-compatible I/O thresholds-under full voltage (4.5–5.5 V) and thermal stress conditions.
Does IDT71256SA25PZ require a clock or refresh circuit?
No, IDT71256SA25PZ uses fully static CMOS architecture and requires neither a clock nor periodic refresh. Its internal memory array retains data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied and CS remains asserted low during active use-making it ideal for simple microcontroller interfaces without timing overhead.
What package type does IDT71256SA25PZ use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
IDT71256SA25PZ uses a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package, 300-mil width, with 0.55 mm lead pitch. It is a green (lead-free, halogen-free) device compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH SVHC regulations, as confirmed in Renesas' ordering information and material declarations.
Can IDT71256SA25PZ be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller?
IDT71256SA25PZ is specified for 5 V operation only (4.5–5.5 V). Its TTL-compatible inputs accept 3.3 V logic HIGH as valid (VIH min = 2.2 V), but outputs swing to ~3.5 V (VOH min = 2.4 V at IOH = –4 mA), which may not meet 3.3 V receiver thresholds reliably. A level-shifter is recommended for robust 3.3 V system integration.
What is the difference between ISB and ISB1 standby current in IDT71256SA25PZ?
IDT71256SA25PZ defines two standby modes: ISB (50 mA max) activates when CS > VIH (TTL threshold), while ISB1 (15 mA max) engages when CS > VHC (CMOS threshold, ≈ VCC – 0.2 V). ISB1 delivers deeper power savings and is enabled by driving CS to near-VCC-critical for battery-hold applications where every milliamp matters.
