Product details
Overview
IDT71V256SA15PZ8 from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM designed for secondary cache in 3.3V processor systems. It delivers 15ns access time, operates on a single 3.3V ±0.3V supply, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and features LVTTL-compatible I/O for seamless integration with contemporary microprocessors.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71V256SA15PZ8 datasheet, IDT71V256SA15PZ8 pinout, IDT71V256SA15PZ8 application, or IDT71V256SA15PZ8 equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current ≤2mA under full CMOS-level standby, tAA ≤15ns read timing, TSOP Type I (PZG28) package compatibility, and dual-mode chip-select control enabling low-power operation in battery-sensitive embedded designs.
Technical Context
The IDT71V256SA15PZ8 implements a fully decoded 15-bit address interface (A0–A14) driving a 262,144-bit memory array organized as 32K words × 8 bits. Its control logic supports three distinct operational modes-active read, active write, and two-tiered standby-governed by independent CS, WE, and OE inputs with TTL/CMOS voltage thresholds.
Power management is hardware-automated: asserting CS high places the device into standby; further raising CS above VHC (VCC – 0.2V) with f = 0 enables full standby mode, guaranteeing ISB1 ≤ 2mA and power dissipation < 6.6mW. All I/Os are bidirectional, LVTTL-compatible, and feature high-impedance tri-state control during deselect or output disable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8-bit (262,144 bits), enabling byte-wide data transfers without external multiplexing |
| Access Time (tAA) | 15ns max - meets timing budgets for 66MHz bus interfaces in desktop and industrial controllers |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3V ±0.3V - compatible with standard 3.3V logic rails and eliminates need for level-shifting circuitry |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | ≤2mA at full CMOS-level standby - extends battery life in portable instrumentation and edge nodes |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in uncontrolled industrial enclosures and transportation electronics |
| I/O Compatibility | LVTTL - ensures direct interfacing with Intel Pentium, AMD K6, and FPGA I/O banks without translation |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 8.1mm × 13.4mm footprint - supports high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained modules |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28), 8.1mm × 13.4mm body, 0.55mm pitch, JEDEC MO-153 compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address Inputs | 15-bit unidirectional address bus accepting 0–32767 row/column select signals |
| I/O0–I/O7 | Bidirectional Data Bus | 8-bit parallel data path supporting simultaneous read/write with automatic direction control via WE/OE |
| CS | Chip Select | Active-low enable controlling full device activation or entry into standby (high = standby) |
| WE | Write Enable | Active-low signal qualifying write cycles; must overlap low CS to initiate data storage |
| OE | Output Enable | Active-low control for output drivers; disables outputs (high-Z) when deasserted during reads |
| VCC | Power Supply | 3.3V core and I/O supply rail - decoupling required within 10mm of pin per Renesas layout guidelines |
| GND | Ground Reference | Primary return path for all internal logic and I/O currents - requires dedicated low-impedance plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low-Power Standby Mode | Guaranteed ISB1 ≤ 2mA at full CMOS-level standby, reducing system idle power by >90% vs. active operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI | 45ns access time, 5V tolerant I/O, SOIC-28 package | Designed for legacy 5V systems; lacks 3.3V-native LVTTL drive strength and low-ISB1 capability | Select only if migrating from 5V infrastructure where voltage translation is impractical |
| AS6C4008-55ZIN | 55ns access, 3.3V-only, 32K × 8 organization, same PZG28 TSOP package | Higher tAA increases latency in cache-critical paths; lower cost but no industrial temp option | Acceptable for non-real-time buffering where 15ns timing margin is not required |
Compared with IDT71V256SA15PZ8, CY62128EV30LL-45ZSXI trades speed and power efficiency for 5V compatibility, while AS6C4008-55ZIN matches the package and voltage but sacrifices 40ns of timing headroom - making IDT71V256SA15PZ8 optimal for latency-sensitive, thermally demanding embedded caches.

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed access time for IDT71V256SA15PZ8?
The IDT71V256SA15PZ8 has a maximum guaranteed address access time (tAA) of 15ns across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (3.0V to 3.6V). This value is production-tested and specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table under the 71V256SA15 speed grade. The IDT71V256SA15PZ8 achieves this timing without requiring external wait-state insertion in 66MHz bus systems.
Does IDT71V256SA15PZ8 support both commercial and industrial temperature grades?
Yes, the IDT71V256SA15PZ8 is specifically qualified for the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the Ordering Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section. While the base IDT71V256SA family offers commercial-grade variants, the "I" suffix in the orderable part number (e.g., PZGI8) and the datasheet's Grade Table explicitly designate this variant for industrial use with full AC/DC specifications guaranteed across that range.
What package type does IDT71V256SA15PZ8 use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
IDT71V256SA15PZ8 uses the 28-pin TSOP Type I package (PZG28), measuring 8.1mm × 13.4mm with 0.55mm lead pitch. Per the Renesas datasheet revision history and Ordering Information footnote, this part is a "restricted hazardous substance device" and complies with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. The "G" in the part number denotes green (halogen-free) construction, and the "8" suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging.
How does the standby power consumption of IDT71V256SA15PZ8 compare between TTL and CMOS-level chip select?
IDT71V256SA15PZ8 provides two standby modes: TTL-level standby (CS = VIH) draws ≤20mA, while full CMOS-level standby (CS > VHC, f = 0) draws ≤2mA. This 10× reduction enables significant energy savings in battery-backed or thermally constrained systems. The datasheet guarantees ISB1 ≤ 2mA under full standby, with typical power dissipation below 6.6mW - a key differentiator for always-on edge devices using IDT71V256SA15PZ8.
Can IDT71V256SA15PZ8 be used as a drop-in replacement for older 5V SRAMs like the 62256?
No, IDT71V256SA15PZ8 is not a drop-in replacement for 5V SRAMs such as the 62256. It operates exclusively at 3.3V ±0.3V, has LVTTL input thresholds (VIH = 2.0V min), and lacks 5V tolerance on I/O pins. Interfacing with 5V systems would require level-shifting circuitry. The IDT71V256SA15PZ8 is intended for native 3.3V designs - its architecture, timing, and power profile are optimized for that voltage domain, not legacy 5V infrastructure.
