Product details
Overview
M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM from Renesas is a 262,144-bit (32,768 × 8) CMOS static RAM in 28-pin 450-mil SOP package, operating on single +5V supply with 70 ns access time, TTL-compatible I/O, and battery backup support down to +2.0 V. It serves as non-refreshing, low-power memory in embedded controllers and instrumentation systems requiring direct bus interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM datasheet, M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM pinout, M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM application, or M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM equivalent, key selection criteria include its /S-/W-/OE three-control logic, 0.05 µA typical standby current at Vcc = 5.5 V, and compatibility with legacy 8-bit data buses in industrial control modules.
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, and high-impedance states without clocks or refresh cycles.
The device supports two write modes (/S-controlled and /W-controlled), requires no address hold during read, and maintains data integrity at Vcc ≥ 2.0 V-enabling seamless transition to battery backup during main power loss in safety-critical monitoring units.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 32,768 words × 8 bits = 262,144 bits; supports byte-wide parallel data access without interleaving. |
| Access time | 70 ns max at Vcc = 5V ±10%; determines minimum bus cycle duration in microcontroller memory interfaces. |
| Standby current | 0.05 µA typical at Vcc = 5.5 V; enables multi-year battery backup in always-on sensor nodes. |
| Supply voltage | +5.0 V ±10% (4.5–5.5 V); compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and legacy 5 V systems. |
| Data retention voltage | +2.0 V minimum; allows uninterrupted memory hold during brown-out or controlled power-down sequences. |
| Input compatibility | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max); eliminates level-shifting in mixed-logic designs. |
| Output drive | IOH = –1 mA, IOL = 2 mA; sufficient to drive 10 TTL loads or terminate short PCB traces without buffers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic SOP (450 mil width), outline 28P2W-C, body size 18.4 mm × 7.6 mm × 2.35 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 ≤ 40 µA) when high, disabling all internal activity. |
| /W | Write enable | Active-low write control; latches data on trailing edge of /W or /S, whichever occurs first. |
| /OE | Output enable | Active-low output gate; isolates DQ pins from bus contention during writes or chip deselection. |
| Vcc | Power supply | +5 V supply pin; powers both core and I/O circuits; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm. |
| GND | Ground reference | Signal and power ground return; must be connected to low-impedance plane to minimize noise coupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No clock or refresh required | Asynchronous operation simplifies timing design and eliminates refresh overhead in real-time firmware. |
| Three-state outputs with OR-tie capability | Enables memory expansion up to 64K×8 using multiple chips sharing DQ lines and /S daisy-chaining. |
| Direct TTL compatibility | Eliminates external level shifters when interfacing with 8051, Z80, or 68K-family microcontrollers. |
| Battery backup support | Retains data at Vcc ≥ 2.0 V, allowing integration with coin-cell backup circuits in portable diagnostics tools. |
| Low active current | 50 mA max at 70 ns access ensures thermal stability in sealed enclosures without forced air cooling. |

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 | 16-bit bus width, 10 ns access, 3.3 V only; no battery backup below 2.7 V. | Requires bus-width adaptation and level translation in 5 V systems; unsuitable for brown-out hold. | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and higher bandwidth is prioritized over legacy compatibility. |
| AS6C4008-70PCN | Same 8-bit bus, 70 ns access, 5 V supply; but 10 µA standby (200× higher than M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM). | Limited battery backup duration; requires larger backup cells or frequent replacement in field-deployed units. | Acceptable for mains-powered applications where standby current is non-critical, but not for long-term battery operation. |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-70PCN, the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM uniquely balances 5 V TTL compatibility, ultra-low 0.05 µA standby, and proven +2.0 V data retention-making it irreplaceable in cost-sensitive, battery-backed 8-bit embedded memory designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM?
The M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C, as confirmed in the "Operating Temperature" section of the Renesas datasheet. This commercial-grade specification makes it suitable for indoor industrial equipment and consumer-grade instrumentation, but not for under-hood automotive or extended-temperature outdoor deployments.
Does the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM support true battery backup mode?
Yes, the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM supports true battery backup: it retains stored data at supply voltages as low as +2.0 V, verified in the "Power Down Characteristics" section. This enables integration with lithium coin cells (e.g., CR2032) to preserve memory contents during main power failure without external supervision circuitry.
Can the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM be used with a 3.3 V microcontroller interface?
No-the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM is strictly a 5 V device with TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and 5 V output swing. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic risks overvoltage damage to the microcontroller's I/O pins and violates absolute maximum ratings; level translation is mandatory.
What is the function of the /S pin during write operations on the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM?
On the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM, the /S (chip select) pin must be low to enable any internal operation-including write cycles. A write is executed only when /S and /W are simultaneously low; if /S goes high during /W low, the output remains high-impedance and no write occurs, preventing unintended data corruption.
Is the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM pin-compatible with other variants in the M5M5256D family?
Yes-the M5M5256DFP-70XG#BM shares identical 28-pin SOP pinout and signal mapping with M5M5256DFP-55LL, -70LL, and -55XL variants. Differences are limited to access time (55 ns vs. 70 ns) and temperature grade; no PCB redesign is needed when substituting within the same FP package suffix.
