Product details
Overview
IDT71256SA25YI from Renesas Electronics is a 32K × 8-bit (256 Kbit) high-speed CMOS static RAM with industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), 25 ns read/write cycle time, TTL-compatible I/O, and single 5 V supply operation. It serves as main or buffer memory in embedded controllers, legacy industrial PLCs, and instrumentation systems requiring deterministic, non-refreshed data retention.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71256SA25YI datasheet, IDT71256SA25YI pinout, IDT71256SA25YI application, or IDT71256SA25YI equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade timing consistency, low standby current (ISB1 = 15 mA), bidirectional TTL I/O compatibility, and SOJ-28 package footprint for through-hole or socketed legacy board upgrades.
Technical Context
The IDT71256SA25YI implements fully static asynchronous architecture-no clocks or refresh cycles required-enabling seamless integration into microcontroller-based systems with irregular memory access patterns. Its dual control scheme uses independent Chip Select (CS) and Output Enable (OE) pins to support both chip-level deselection (standby ISB1 = 15 mA) and output gating without affecting internal state.
Timing is defined by fixed-cycle parameters: tRC = 25 ns, tAA = 25 ns, tWC = 25 ns, with guaranteed tOH = 3 ns hold time and tCHZ = 11 ns high-impedance transition after CS deassertion. All inputs meet TTL voltage thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and drive ±8 mA outputs compliant with standard TTL loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144-bit total); supports byte-wide parallel bus interfacing without external data multiplexing |
| Access/Cycle Time | 25 ns; ensures compatibility with 40 MHz Z80, 80C88, and similar legacy CPU buses without wait-state insertion |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; tolerates nominal 5 V rail variation in unregulated industrial power domains |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for deployment in factory-floor automation, motor drives, and outdoor metering enclosures |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 15 mA max at VCC = 5.5 V; enables low-power sleep mode during CPU idle periods without data loss |
| I/O Compatibility | TTL input thresholds and output drive strength; eliminates need for level-shifting logic when interfacing with 74LS/74HC peripherals |
| Package | 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28); provides mechanical robustness and thermal performance suitable for reflow or wave-soldered industrial PCBs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ (PJG28), gull-wing lead form, JEDEC MS-013AC compliant, body width 390 mil, lead pitch 50 mil.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting full 32K range; latched on CS low transition for asynchronous access |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit TTL-compatible data path; direction controlled implicitly by WE and CS states per truth table |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable; places device in standby (ISB1 = 15 mA) when high, enabling system-level power gating |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle only when CS is also low; controls data latch timing (tWP = 20 ns min) |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low output gate; allows shared bus usage by disabling outputs (high-Z) while CS remains asserted |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor placement adjacent to this pin critical for noise immunity in noisy industrial environments |
| GND | Ground Reference | Signal and power ground return; requires low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce during I/O transitions |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully static operation | No clock, no refresh required-ideal for battery-backed or intermittently powered systems where deterministic latency is mandatory |
| Dual standby modes | ISB = 40 mA (TTL-level CS high) and ISB1 = 15 mA (CMOS-level CS high) enable hierarchical power management |
| Guaranteed 25 ns timing | All AC parameters (tRC, tAA, tWC) specified at worst-case industrial temperature and voltage extremes-no derating needed |
| TTL-compatible interface | Direct connection to legacy microprocessor buses (e.g., 8086, 68000) without bus transceivers or level shifters |
| Green packaging option | Halogen-free, RoHS-compliant materials meet industrial environmental compliance requirements without performance trade-offs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62256LL-25ZSXIT | Same 32K × 8 organization, 25 ns speed, but uses 28-pin TSOP (SOIC-type) instead of SOJ; ISB1 = 10 µA vs 15 mA | Lower standby current suits battery-powered portable testers; TSOP footprint requires PCB redesign from SOJ | Select when ultra-low ISB1 and surface-mount assembly are priorities over mechanical robustness and socket compatibility |
| AS6C4008-25ZIN | 25 ns speed, industrial temp, but operates at 2.7–5.5 V; VIH/VIL thresholds differ (CMOS, not TTL) | Requires level-shifting for legacy 5 V TTL buses; wider VCC range supports mixed-supply designs | Select when migrating toward modern low-voltage systems or integrating with 3.3 V microcontrollers alongside 5 V peripherals |
Compared with CY62256LL-25ZSXIT and AS6C4008-25ZIN, the IDT71256SA25YI offers proven mechanical reliability in SOJ packaging, native TTL compatibility for drop-in legacy replacement, and consistent 25 ns timing across full industrial temperature range-making it optimal for retrofit and long-lifecycle industrial hardware.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the IDT71256SA25YI?
The IDT71256SA25YI does not operate on a clock signal-it is a fully static RAM. Its maximum effective bus frequency is derived from its 25 ns cycle time, supporting up to 40 MHz sustained random-access throughput on compatible 8-bit buses. No external clock is required, and timing is governed solely by address and control signal setup/hold windows per the datasheet AC specifications.
Does the IDT71256SA25YI require refresh circuitry or periodic memory maintenance?
No, the IDT71256SA25YI is a true static RAM and requires no refresh cycles, clocks, or periodic maintenance. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as VCC is applied within specification (4.5 V to 5.5 V) and ambient temperature remains within –40°C to +85°C. This eliminates refresh overhead in microcontroller firmware and simplifies system design.
Can the IDT71256SA25YI be used as a direct replacement for the IDT71256SA20YI in an existing design?
Yes, the IDT71256SA25YI is pin- and function-compatible with the IDT71256SA20YI, sharing identical pinout, voltage levels, control protocol, and SOJ-28 package. The only difference is timing: IDT71256SA25YI has 25 ns access/cycle versus 20 ns. System timing margins must be verified, but no PCB or firmware changes are required for substitution.
What is the meaning of "YI" in the part number IDT71256SA25YI?
In the IDT71256SA25YI ordering code, "Y" denotes the 28-pin 300-mil Plastic SOJ package (PJG28), and "I" indicates Industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C). This distinguishes it from commercial-grade variants (e.g., IDT71256SA25YG) and other package options like TSOP ("PZG") or PDIP ("TPG").
Is the IDT71256SA25YI RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the IDT71256SA25YI is a green part: it meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and is halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. This is confirmed in the Renesas datasheet revision history (June 2020 update) and ordering information, where "Green" status is explicitly assigned to all YI variants including IDT71256SA25YI.
