Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA25Y8 from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with 25 ns access time, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), TTL-compatible I/O, and single 5 V supply operation. 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 IDT71256SA25Y8 datasheet, IDT71256SA25Y8 pinout, IDT71256SA25Y8 application, or IDT71256SA25Y8 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade timing consistency, 28-pin SOJ package compatibility, 5 V-only operation, and asynchronous static RAM interface behavior without refresh or clocking requirements.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA25Y8 implements fully static asynchronous circuitry - no clocks, no refresh cycles - relying on address-stable read/write control via CS, OE, and WE. Its internal architecture includes a 262,144-bit memory array, address decoder, I/O control logic, and TTL-compatible input/output buffers.
All inputs meet VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V at VCC = 5.0 V ±10%; outputs drive VOH ≥ 2.4 V at –4 mA and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at 8 mA. Standby current drops to ISB1 = 15 mA under CMOS-level deselection (CS > VHC), enabling power-sensitive industrial hold states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), byte-wide parallel interface |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns max - defines minimum address-to-data-valid delay in read cycles |
| Cycle Time (tRC) | 25 ns max - sets shortest interval between successive read or write operations |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - requires stable 5 V rail; no dual-supply or voltage scaling support |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Package | 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28) - surface-mount, gull-wing leads, JEDEC MO-029 compliant |
| Power Consumption | ISB1 = 15 mA max in CMOS-level standby - enables low-quiescent power during idle periods |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT | 32K × 8-bit, 45 ns access, 3.3 V only, TSOP-28 package | Requires 3.3 V supply and lacks industrial temp support at 45 ns speed grade | Select only if system uses 3.3 V logic and timing budget allows 45 ns latency |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 512K × 8-bit, 25 ns access, industrial temp, SOJ-28, 5 V compatible | Higher density (512K vs. 32K); pinout differs - not drop-in compatible | Choose when memory expansion is needed and board layout permits re-routing |
Compared with IDT71256SA25Y8, CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXIT trades speed and voltage compatibility for lower cost in 3.3 V systems, while AS6C4008-25ZIN offers greater capacity but requires PCB redesign due to different address/data pin mapping.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for IDT71256SA25Y8?
IDT71256SA25Y8 operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V DC. It is strictly a 5 V device - no 3.3 V or mixed-voltage operation is supported. The datasheet specifies VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V under these conditions, ensuring reliable TTL-level interfacing with legacy 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs. Operation outside this range may cause data corruption or permanent damage.
Does IDT71256SA25Y8 require a clock or refresh signal?
No, IDT71256SA25Y8 uses fully static asynchronous circuitry and requires neither a clock nor periodic refresh. Data retention is maintained as long as VCC remains within specification and CS is held active (low) during access. This eliminates timing constraints associated with DRAM controllers and simplifies integration into FPGA- or microcontroller-based systems with tight timing budgets.
What package type does IDT71256SA25Y8 use?
IDT71256SA25Y8 is packaged in a 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28), a gull-wing surface-mount package compliant with JEDEC MO-029. It features 1.27 mm lead pitch and is RoHS-compliant (green). This package is compatible with standard reflow profiles and supports automated optical inspection (AOI) due to its exposed lead geometry.
Is IDT71256SA25Y8 suitable for industrial temperature applications?
Yes, IDT71256SA25Y8 is explicitly qualified for the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. All AC and DC specifications - including 25 ns access time, ISB1 = 15 mA standby current, and TTL-compatible I/O thresholds - are guaranteed across this full range. No derating or additional thermal margining is required for deployment in uncontrolled ambient environments.
How does the Output Enable (OE) pin function in IDT71256SA25Y8?
In IDT71256SA25Y8, the OE pin is an active-low signal that independently controls output driver enablement during read cycles. When CS is low and OE is low, data appears on I/O0–I/O7 within tOE (max 11 ns). When OE is high, outputs enter high-impedance state regardless of CS status - enabling multi-drop bus sharing and clean read/write isolation without toggling CS.
