Product details
Overview
M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM from Renesas is a 262,144-bit (32,768 × 8) CMOS static RAM in 28-pin SOP package, operating on single +5V supply with 55 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and battery-backup capability down to +2.0 V. It serves as non-refresh, low-power main memory in embedded controllers and instrumentation systems requiring deterministic timing and bus contention control.
For engineers reviewing the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM datasheet, M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM pinout, M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM application, or M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM equivalent, key selection criteria include access time consistency across temperature, standby current ≤0.05 µA at Vcc=5.5 V, /OE-controlled three-state outputs for bus sharing, and /S-/W dual-control write/read mode compatibility with legacy 8-bit microprocessor buses.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements a resistive-load NMOS cell array with CMOS periphery for high density and low power. Its operation relies on asynchronous /S (chip select), /W (write enable), and /OE (output enable) signals to define read, write, standby, and high-impedance modes without clocks or refresh cycles.
The device supports two write control modes (/W- or /S-driven), enforces strict setup/hold timing for address and data relative to /W and /S edges, and maintains data hold at Vcc ≥2.0 V-enabling seamless transition to battery backup during main power loss.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 32,768 words × 8 bits = 262,144 bits; supports byte-wide data bus interfacing with 80C85, Z80, or 68000-family CPUs. |
| Access time | 55 ns max at Vcc = 5V ±10%, Ta = 0–70°C; ensures reliable timing margin in 18 MHz CPU bus environments. |
| Standby current | 0.05 µA typical at Vcc = 5.5 V; enables >1-year battery life in coin-cell-backed real-time clock or configuration memory applications. |
| Supply voltage | +5 V ±10% (4.5–5.5 V); compatible with standard TTL logic rails and industrial power supplies. |
| Data retention voltage | +2.0 V minimum; guarantees nonvolatile data hold during brown-out or controlled power-down sequences. |
| Input compatibility | TTL-level inputs (VIH = 2.4 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max); eliminates need for level-shifting when interfacing with legacy microcontrollers. |
| Output drive | IOH = –1 mA (VOH ≥ 2.4 V), IOL = 2 mA (VOL ≤ 0.4 V); sufficient to drive 10 TTL loads or parallel bus segments. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic SOP (450 mil width), outline 28P2W-C, body size 18.4 mm × 7.6 mm × 2.45 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32K-word decoding; no internal multiplexing required. |
| DQ1–DQ8 | Bi-directional data I/O | Common data bus pins; tri-stated when /OE = high or /S = high, enabling OR-tie expansion. |
| /S | Chip select | Active-low enable; places device in standby (Icc ≤ 0.05 µA) when high, disabling all outputs and internal activity. |
| /W | Write enable | Active-low write strobe; initiates write cycle only when overlapped with active /S; latches data on trailing edge. |
| /OE | Output enable | Active-low output gate; overrides /W to force high-impedance state, preventing bus contention during writes. |
| Vcc | Power supply | +5 V supply pin; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required within 10 mm for stable AC operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power ground common point; must be connected before Vcc during power-up sequencing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No refresh required | Asynchronous static architecture eliminates external refresh circuitry, reducing BOM count and system complexity. |
| Battery backup support | Valid data retention at Vcc ≥ +2.0 V enables direct connection to backup lithium coin cell without diode or regulator. |
| Three-state outputs with /OE priority | /OE forces high-Z regardless of /W or /S state, allowing safe shared-bus arbitration in multi-SRAM systems. |
| Direct TTL compatibility | All inputs meet VIH/VIL specs of standard TTL; outputs drive full TTL fan-out-no interface logic needed. |
| Low active current | Icc1 ≤ 45 mA max at 55 ns access (TTL-level inputs); enables use in thermally constrained industrial enclosures. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar static RAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 32K × 16 organization, 10 ns access, 3.3 V supply only; no +5 V or battery-backup support. | Requires level translation and redesign for 5 V systems; unsuitable for battery-retention use cases. | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and needing wider data bus. |
| AS6C4008-55PCN | Same 32K × 8 organization and 55 ns speed, but 5 V-only operation and 1 µA standby (vs. 0.05 µA). | Higher standby current limits battery life in long-duration backup scenarios; otherwise pinout-identical. | Acceptable drop-in replacement where backup duration <1 month is acceptable. |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-55PCN, the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM uniquely combines 5 V operation, 55 ns timing, and ultra-low 0.05 µA standby-making it the only choice for legacy 5 V systems requiring multi-year battery-backed memory retention.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM?
The M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C. This commercial-grade temperature range is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and confirmed in the AC Electrical Characteristics section for the -55LL speed grade. It does not support extended industrial (-40°C to +85°C) operation like the -70LLI variant.
Does the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM require an external clock or refresh signal?
No, the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM is a true static RAM and requires neither an external clock nor periodic refresh cycles. Its operation is fully asynchronous and controlled solely by /S, /W, and /OE signals. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead and simplifies system design for microcontrollers without dedicated DRAM controllers.
Can the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM retain data when powered by a 2.0 V backup source?
Yes, the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM guarantees data retention at Vcc ≥ +2.0 V, as documented in the Power Down Characteristics section. This enables direct connection to a lithium coin cell or supercapacitor for nonvolatile storage during main power failure, with no additional voltage regulation or switching circuitry required.
What is the function of the /OE pin on the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM?
The /OE (output enable) pin on the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM directly controls the output buffer state. When /OE is high, all DQ pins enter high-impedance mode-even during active /S and /W conditions-preventing bus contention. When /OE is low and /S is low, data appears on DQ pins after the specified ta(OE) delay. This prioritized control is essential for shared-bus systems.
Is the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM pin-compatible with other variants in the M5M5256DFP,VP family?
Yes, the M5M5256DFP-55LL#SM shares identical pinout, package (28-pin SOP), and functional interface with all M5M5256DFP,VP variants including -70LL, -55XL, and -70XL. Speed grades differ only in access time and current specs; no PCB layout change is needed when substituting within the FP package group.
