Product details
Overview
R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 from Renesas Electronics is a 256Kb low-power static RAM organized as 32,768 × 8-bit, operating on a single 4.5V–5.5V supply, with 55 ns access time, 0.6 µA typical standby current at 5.0V, and TTL-compatible I/O - deployed in battery-backed memory subsystems for industrial controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 datasheet, R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 pinout, R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 application, or R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed -40°C to +85°C operation, no-refresh architecture, CS#-controlled data retention down to 2.0V, three-state OR-tie capable outputs, and 28-pin SOP packaging with magazine tube delivery.
Technical Context
The R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 implements a fully static CMOS memory array with asynchronous parallel interface logic, featuring independent chip select (CS#), output enable (OE#), and write enable (WE#) controls. Its address decoding supports full 15-bit addressing (A0–A14) and common bidirectional DQ0–DQ7 I/O lines.
It operates without clocks or refresh cycles, relying on static latch cells fabricated in Renesas's 0.15 µm CMOS process. Standby mode is activated by high CS#, reducing current to ≤2 µA over temperature while retaining data at Vcc ≥ 2.0V - critical for backup power integrity in fail-safe systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32k × 8-bit) - supports byte-wide data bus interfacing without external multiplexing |
| Access time | 55 ns - enables direct connection to legacy microcontrollers with ≤18 MHz bus timing |
| Supply voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variation |
| Standby current | 0.6 µA typical at 5.0V/25°C - extends battery life in always-on backup mode beyond 10 years |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive body electronics |
| Data retention VCC | 2.0 V minimum - maintains stored values during brown-out or backup battery switchover |
| I/O compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) - ensures interoperability with 74LS, 80Cxx, and FPGA I/O banks |
Pinout & Package
Package: 450-mil 28-pin plastic SOP (Small Outline Package), lead-free and RoHS-compliant, with 1.27 mm pitch and standard JEDEC MS-013AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Power supply | Primary 4.5–5.5 V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm |
| Vss (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all signals; must be connected before Vcc during power-up |
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit unidirectional address bus; latched on falling edge of CS# during read/write setup |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bi-directional data I/O | Shared data bus with three-state control via OE# and CS#; supports OR-tie for memory expansion |
| CS# | Chip select (active low) | Enables device operation; high state forces outputs to high-Z and activates ultra-low-power retention mode |
| WE# | Write enable (active low) | Controls write cycle initiation; must be low concurrently with CS# to store data on DQ lines |
| OE# | Output enable (active low) | Gates read data onto DQ lines; prevents bus contention when multiple devices share same data bus |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No clock, no refresh | Eliminates system-level timing constraints and external refresh circuitry - simplifies firmware and reduces BOM count |
| 0.6 µA standby current (typ.) | Enables >10-year data retention on coin-cell batteries (e.g., CR2032) in maintenance-free applications |
| CS#-controlled data retention | Automatically enters low-power retention at Vcc ≥ 2.0 V when CS# = high - no software or external logic required |
| Three-state OR-tie outputs | Allows direct wire-OR connection of multiple R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 devices for seamless memory expansion without bus transceivers |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interface with legacy 5V microcontrollers (e.g., 8051, PIC18F), CPLDs, and industrial PLC I/O modules |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power parallel SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 16-bit bus (256K × 16), 10 ns access, 3.3 V only, 44-pin TSOP | Higher bandwidth but incompatible voltage and pinout; requires PCB redesign and level-shifting | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V systems and needing wider data path - not drop-in |
| AS6C4008-55PCN | 256K × 8, 55 ns, 2.7–5.5 V, 28-pin SOP, 2 µA standby (typ.) | Wider Vcc range and same package, but 3× higher standby current erodes battery life in long-term backup | Acceptable for cost-sensitive 5V designs where battery life >3 years is sufficient |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-55PCN, the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 uniquely balances 55 ns speed, 0.6 µA ultra-low standby, and strict 5V TTL compatibility in a drop-in 28-pin SOP - making it optimal for legacy industrial upgrades requiring zero layout change and maximum battery longevity.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1?
The R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 is specified for continuous operation from -40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, validated per Renesas's industrial qualification standards. This range covers under-hood automotive environments, factory-floor PLCs, and outdoor metering enclosures. The R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 maintains full AC and DC parametric compliance across this range, including 55 ns access time and ≤2 µA standby current at +85°C.
Does the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 require a clock signal or refresh circuitry?
No, the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 is a fully static RAM and requires neither a clock nor periodic refresh cycles. Its internal latches retain data indefinitely as long as Vcc remains within specification and CS# is held high in standby. This eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead in microcontroller firmware and removes external refresh logic - a key advantage over DRAM or pseudo-SRAM solutions.
Can the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 retain data when Vcc drops below 4.5 V?
Yes, the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 guarantees data retention down to Vcc = 2.0 V when CS# is held high, per its Low Vcc Data Retention Characteristics table. At 3.0 V, typical retention current is 0.6 µA at 25°C - enabling multi-year backup on small coin cells. This behavior is intrinsic to the device and requires no external control or configuration.
Is the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 pin-compatible with other 28-pin SOP SRAMs like the 62256 family?
No - while the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 uses a standard 28-pin SOP footprint, its pinout differs from legacy 62256-style SRAMs. Specifically, A10–A14 and control signals (CS#, WE#, OE#) are assigned to different pins. Direct replacement requires PCB layout revision; refer to the official pin arrangement diagram on page 2 of R10DS0268EJ0200 Rev.2.00 for exact mapping.
What is the maximum capacitive load the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 can drive on its DQ lines?
The R1LP5256ESP-5SI#B1 is characterized with CL = 30 pF in AC testing (page 6), and its output drivers are rated for VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = -1 mA and VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 2 mA. For reliable 55 ns timing, total trace + load capacitance should remain ≤40 pF. Exceeding this may degrade tOH, tOLZ, or cause setup/hold violations in high-speed interfaces.
