Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA25PZ8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 25 ns access and cycle times, TTL-compatible I/O, single 5 V supply operation, and industrial-grade temperature support (–40°C to +85°C). It serves as a non-refreshing, asynchronous memory buffer in embedded controllers, legacy instrumentation, and real-time data acquisition systems requiring deterministic read/write timing.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA25PZ8 datasheet, IDT71256SA25PZ8 pinout, IDT71256SA25PZ8 application, or IDT71256SA25PZ8 equivalent, this device delivers verified 25 ns tAA/tRC performance, low-impedance bidirectional I/O control via OE/CS/WE, and TSOP-28 packaging suited for space-constrained PCB layouts with legacy bus interfaces.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA25PZ8 implements fully static asynchronous circuitry-no clocks or refresh cycles required-and uses dual-control enable logic: Chip Select (CS) gates memory activation while Output Enable (OE) independently controls output driver state. This allows fast read access (tOE = 11 ns max) and precise output disable timing (tOHZ = 10 ns max).
It supports two standby modes: TTL-level ISB (50 mA max at 25 ns speed) when CS > VIH, and lower-power CMOS-level ISB1 (15 mA max) when CS > VHC and inputs are rail-rail. All I/O pins are bidirectional with ±4 mA drive strength, 0.4 V VOL, and 2.4 V VOH under worst-case VCC = 4.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide parallel data bus interfacing without external demultiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns max; guarantees valid data at I/O pins within 25 ns of address stabilization under VCC = 4.5–5.5 V |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 25 ns max; defines minimum interval between successive read operations on same address range |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; compatible with standard 5 V TTL/CMOS logic rails without level-shifting |

| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control of output drivers; independent of CS; allows read data gating without deselecting chip |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle when CS and WE both low; controls data capture timing (tWP = 20 ns min) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZAXI | 32K × 8-bit, 45 ns access, 3.3 V core (with 5 V tolerant I/O), 28-pin SOIC | Lower power (ISB = 1 µA), but slower and incompatible with pure 5 V systems | Select if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and board layout allows SOIC footprint change |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 32K × 8-bit, 25 ns access, 5 V operation, 28-pin TSOP-28, industrial temp | Same speed and package; higher ICC (160 mA vs. 145 mA), identical pinout | Drop-in replacement with identical timing and layout; verify VIL/VOL margins match host system |
Compared with IDT71256SA25PZ8, CY62128EV30LL-45ZAXI trades speed for ultra-low standby power and voltage scalability, while AS6C4008-25ZIN matches timing and form factor exactly but draws slightly more active current-making it ideal for direct replacement where layout reuse is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by IDT71256SA25PZ8?
IDT71256SA25PZ8 does not use a clock and therefore has no operating frequency specification. Its performance is defined by timing parameters: maximum read/write cycle time is 25 ns, supporting effective burst transfer rates up to 40 MHz in systems with zero wait-state bus controllers. The device relies on asynchronous control signals (CS, OE, WE) rather than synchronous clocking.
Does IDT71256SA25PZ8 require external refresh circuitry?
No, IDT71256SA25PZ8 is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh circuitry. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as power is applied and all DC operating conditions (VCC, temperature, input levels) remain within specification. This eliminates refresh overhead in microcontroller or FPGA designs.
Can IDT71256SA25PZ8 operate reliably at 4.5 V supply voltage?
Yes, IDT71256SA25PZ8 is fully specified from 4.5 V to 5.5 V. At VCC = 4.5 V, all AC parameters-including tAA = 25 ns, tRC = 25 ns, and tOE = 11 ns-are guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and DC parameters such as VOL ≤ 0.4 V and VOH ≥ 2.4 V remain valid.
Is the pinout of IDT71256SA25PZ8 compatible with other 28-pin TSOP SRAMs?
IDT71256SA25PZ8 uses the industry-standard 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) pinout defined in JEDEC MO-153. Its address, data, and control pin assignments match those of AS6C4008-25ZIN and IS61LV25616AL-25TLI, enabling direct PCB footprint reuse-provided voltage and timing margins align with the host system design.
What is the meaning of the '8' suffix in IDT71256SA25PZ8?
The '8' suffix in IDT71256SA25PZ8 indicates tape-and-reel packaging: 1,000 units per reel. This format is optimized for automated SMT assembly lines. The base part IDT71256SA25PZG denotes the same device in tube packaging; both share identical electrical, thermal, and mechanical specifications.
