Product details
Overview
IDT71V256SA20PZ from Renesas Electronics is a 256K (32K × 8-bit) high-speed CMOS static RAM designed for secondary cache in 3.3V processor systems. It operates at 3.3V ±0.3V, delivers 20ns access time, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and features LVTTL-compatible I/O with 2mA full-standby current.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71V256SA20PZ datasheet, IDT71V256SA20PZ pinout, IDT71V256SA20PZ application, or IDT71V256SA20PZ equivalent, this SRAM is selected for low-power, high-reliability embedded memory subsystems requiring fast random-access timing, TTL-level interface compatibility, and stable operation across extended temperature environments.
Technical Context
The IDT71V256SA20PZ implements asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent chip select (CS), output enable (OE), and write enable (WE) control lines enabling flexible bus interfacing. Its address decoding supports 15-bit addressing (A0–A14) for 32K words, and bidirectional I/O0–I/O7 pins provide byte-wide data transfer without external transceivers.
Power management is implemented via CS-driven standby: CS = VIH places the device in TTL-level standby (ISB ≤ 20mA), while CS > VHC and f = 0 enables full CMOS-level standby (ISB1 ≤ 2mA). All DC and AC parameters are guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range at VCC = 3.3V ±0.3V.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the IDT71V256SA20PZ?
The IDT71V256SA20PZ is fully specified and guaranteed for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. All AC and DC electrical characteristics-including 20ns access time, 2mA full-standby current, and LVTTL I/O thresholds-are validated across this full range at VCC = 3.3V ±0.3V. This makes the IDT71V256SA20PZ suitable for deployment in demanding environments such as factory automation, outdoor networking, and transportation control systems where ambient temperatures fluctuate widely.
Does the IDT71V256SA20PZ support true static operation without refresh?
Yes, the IDT71V256SA20PZ is a true asynchronous static RAM with no refresh requirement. Its CMOS-based memory array retains data indefinitely as long as VCC remains within specification and CS is held HIGH in standby mode. Unlike DRAM, the IDT71V256SA20PZ does not require external refresh circuitry, simplifying system design and eliminating timing-critical refresh overhead in real-time applications.
How does the standby power management work on the IDT71V256SA20PZ?
The IDT71V256SA20PZ implements dual-level standby: TTL-level standby (ISB ≤ 20mA) activates when CS = VIH, and full CMOS-level standby (ISB1 ≤ 2mA) engages when CS > VHC with zero input toggling (f = 0). This two-tier approach allows system designers to optimize power savings based on activity patterns-e.g., using ISB1 during deep sleep modes and ISB during brief inter-burst idle intervals-without modifying hardware or firmware for the IDT71V256SA20PZ.
Is the IDT71V256SA20PZ pin-compatible with earlier speed grades like IDT71V256SA15PZ?
Yes, the IDT71V256SA20PZ shares identical pinout, package (28-pin TSOP Type I, PZG28), and functional interface with IDT71V256SA12PZ and IDT71V256SA15PZ. All variants use the same A0–A14, I/O0–I/O7, CS, WE, OE, VCC, and GND assignments. This allows drop-in replacement for timing margining or cost optimization-though system timing must be revalidated to ensure setup/hold margins remain sufficient at the slower 20ns grade.
What package type and mounting configuration does the IDT71V256SA20PZ use?
The IDT71V256SA20PZ is supplied in a 28-pin TSOP Type I (PZG28) package, measuring 10.16mm × 11.43mm with 0.5mm lead pitch and gull-wing leads. It is designed for surface-mount reflow assembly per IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020, and its low-profile form factor supports high-density routing in space-constrained industrial PCBs. The IDT71V256SA20PZ is not offered in SOJ or DIP variants under this specific orderable part number.
