Product details
Overview
R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 from Renesas Electronics is a 256Kb low-power static RAM (32k × 8-bit) in 28-pin TSOP package, operating from 4.5V to 5.5V with 55 ns access time, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and 1 µA typical standby current. It serves as non-volatile memory backup buffer in battery-powered instrumentation and embedded controllers requiring zero-refresh, TTL-compatible interfacing, and data retention down to 2.0V.
For engineers reviewing the R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 datasheet, R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 pinout, R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 application, or R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial-grade temperature support, TSOP-28 footprint compatibility, 55 ns read/write timing, low VCC data retention capability, and three-state I/O with OR-tie capability for bus expansion.
Technical Context
The R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 implements a fully static CMOS memory array with no internal clocks or refresh circuitry, enabling deterministic timing and ultra-low power in sleep modes. Its address decoder supports full 15-bit addressing (A0–A14), and all control signals (CS#, WE#, OE#) are active-low with TTL-level thresholds.
It features common bidirectional data I/O (DQ0–DQ7), chip-select–gated output enable, and write-enable–controlled write cycles. Standby current drops to 1 µA at 5.0V/25°C, and data retention remains valid at VCC ≥ 2.0V with CS# held high, making it suitable for battery-backed memory hold applications.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32,768 × 8-bit); provides byte-wide storage for microcontroller data buffers and configuration registers. |
| Access time | 55 ns max; ensures compatibility with 18 MHz bus systems without wait states. |
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; operates reliably across standard 5V rail tolerances and brown-out conditions. |
| Standby current | 1 µA typical at 5.0V/25°C; enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup memory applications. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 8 mm × 13.4 mm 28-pin plastic TSOP (normal-bend type), PTSA0028ZA-A (28P2C-A), surface-mount, tape-and-reel (1000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Power supply | +4.5V to +5.5V main supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise immunity. |
| Vss | Ground | Signal and power return reference; must be connected to system ground plane. |
| A0–A14 | Address input | 15-bit address bus; selects one of 32,768 memory locations for read/write operations. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; high-impedance when CS# or OE# is high. |
| CS# | Chip select | Active-low enable; disables all internal circuitry and reduces current to standby level when high. |
| WE# | Write enable | Active-low write strobe; latches DQ0–DQ7 into memory when CS# is low and OE# is high. |
| OE# | Output enable | Active-low output control; prevents bus contention by tri-stating DQ0–DQ7 when high. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0?
The R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 does not use a clock signal and has no maximum operating frequency specification. Its performance is defined by timing parameters: 55 ns access time (tAA), 55 ns read cycle (tRC), and 55 ns write cycle (tWC). These values support reliable operation with bus controllers running up to approximately 18 MHz without wait states, assuming proper setup/hold margins are met in the system design. The R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 relies on asynchronous control signals (CS#, WE#, OE#) rather than synchronous clocking.
Does the R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 require external refresh circuitry?
No, the R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 is a fully static RAM and requires no external refresh circuitry or periodic access to retain data. Its CMOS memory cell design maintains state indefinitely as long as power is applied and CS# is held high during standby. This eliminates refresh overhead, simplifies system design, and improves timing predictability-key advantages over DRAM or pseudo-SRAM solutions. The R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 retains data even at reduced VCC (down to 2.0V) when CS# is asserted.
What is the pin compatibility status of R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 with other members of the R1LP5256E Series?
The R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 shares identical pinout, signal definitions, and electrical characteristics with all other R1LP5256E Series variants in the same TSOP package-including R1LP5256ESA-5SR#S0, R1LP5256ESA-7SI#S0, and R1LP5256ESA-7SR#S0. Differences are limited to access time (55 ns vs. 70 ns) and temperature grade (industrial -40°C to +85°C vs. commercial 0°C to +70°C), both of which are fully backward-compatible. The R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 may be substituted for slower or commercial-grade versions without hardware changes.
Can the R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 be used in a 3.3V system?
No, the R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 is specified exclusively for 4.5V to 5.5V operation and is not rated for 3.3V supply. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.2V min, VIL = 0.8V max) and DC/AC characteristics are validated only within the 5V range. Attempting to operate the R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 at 3.3V may result in unreliable read/write behavior, increased standby current, or data corruption. For 3.3V systems, consider functionally similar alternatives such as the IS61LV25616AL series or AS6C4008-55TIN, which are explicitly characterized at 3.3V.
What is the meaning of the "#S0" suffix in R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0?
The "#S0" suffix in R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 indicates embossed tape-and-reel packaging: 1000 units per reel, compliant with EIA-481-D standards. This differs from "#B0", which denotes tube packaging (max. 234 pcs/tray). The "S" denotes tape format, and "0" specifies the standard reel size and orientation. The core electrical and thermal specifications-including 55 ns access time and -40°C to +85°C operation-are unchanged between #S0 and #B0 variants. The R1LP5256ESA-5SI#S0 is optimized for automated SMT placement in high-volume manufacturing.
