Product details
Overview
R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 from Renesas Electronics is a 256Kb low-power static RAM organized as 32,768 × 8-bit, operating from 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-designed for battery-backed memory systems in industrial controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 datasheet, R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 pinout, R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 application, or R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 equivalent, key selection criteria include its no-refresh operation, OR-tie capable three-state outputs, CS#-controlled data retention down to 2.0V, and compatibility with legacy 28-pin SOP-based memory interfaces.
Technical Context
The R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 implements a fully static memory architecture with no internal clocks or refresh circuitry, relying on address decoding and control signal timing (CS#, WE#, OE#) to manage read/write cycles. Its block diagram confirms separate column/row decoders, sense/write amplifiers, and address/data buffers-all fabricated in 0.15 µm CMOS/TFT process for low leakage.
It supports two distinct write modes (WE#-clocked and CS#-clocked), with defined timing parameters including tAW = 50 ns, tWP = 40 ns, and tOHZ ≤ 20 ns. Data retention is guaranteed at Vcc ≥ 2.0V when CS# is held high, with ICCDR ≤ 10 µA at +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32k × 8-bit): provides byte-wide data bus interface without external data multiplexing |
| Access time | 55 ns max: enables direct interfacing with 12–15 MHz microcontrollers without wait states |
| Supply voltage | 4.5–5.5 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 memory applications |
| Data retention Vcc | 2.0 V min: maintains stored data during brown-out or backup battery operation |
| I/O compatibility | TTL input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive (VOH ≥ 2.4 V @ –1 mA): ensures interoperability with legacy 5V logic families |

Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic SOP (450-mil), JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, body width 10.16 mm, lead pitch 1.27 mm.
| 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 and power; must be low-impedance connection |
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0x0000–0x7FFF; latched on CS#/WE# transition per timing spec |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional data I/O | Byte-wide data path with three-state control via OE# and CS#; supports OR-tie bus sharing |
| CS# | Chip select (active low) | Enables memory array; controls data retention mode when high and Vcc ≥ 2.0 V |
| WE# | Write enable (active low) | Initiates write cycle when CS# is low; timing-critical for tWP ≥ 40 ns pulse width |
| OE# | Output enable (active low) | Gates output drivers; prevents bus contention during shared-memory or multi-device configurations |

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 (256K × 16), 10 ns access, 3.3 V only, 44-pin TSOP | Higher density and speed but incompatible voltage and bus width; requires PCB redesign | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V systems and needing wider data path |
| AS6C4008-55PCN | Same 32k × 8 organization, 55 ns access, 4.5–5.5 V, 28-pin SOP-but 2.0 mA typical standby current | Pin-compatible drop-in replacement with higher power consumption in standby | Acceptable for non-battery applications where layout reuse is prioritized over ultra-low power |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-55PCN, the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 uniquely balances 5V compatibility, 28-pin SOP footprint, and sub-µA standby-making it the only option for retrofitting legacy 5V systems requiring multi-year battery backup without board changes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1?
The R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, validated per DC and AC specifications in the official Renesas datasheet R10DS0268EJ0200 Rev.2.00. This range covers industrial environments including factory automation equipment and outdoor metering hardware where thermal cycling is expected.
Does the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 require an external clock or refresh signal?
No, the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 is a fully static RAM with no internal clock or refresh circuitry. It retains data indefinitely as long as Vcc remains within specification and CS# is held high during standby. This eliminates timing constraints associated with DRAM refresh cycles and simplifies system design.
Can the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 retain data when Vcc drops below 4.5 V?
Yes-the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 guarantees data retention down to Vcc = 2.0 V when CS# is held high (≥ Vcc – 0.2 V), as specified in the Low Vcc Data Retention Characteristics table. At 3.0 V, typical retention current is 0.6 µA, enabling multi-year operation on small backup batteries.
Is the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 pin-compatible with other 28-pin SOP SRAMs like the 62256 family?
The R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 uses standard 28-pin SOP pinout matching JEDEC MS-012AC, with identical Vcc, GND, address, data, and control signal placements as industry-standard 32k × 8 SRAMs. However, timing parameters (e.g., tAA = 55 ns) and standby current differ-system validation is required before substitution.
What is the meaning of the "#S1" suffix in R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1?
The "#S1" suffix in R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 indicates embossed tape packaging (per Renesas ordering information), where "S" denotes tape-and-reel and "1" is the revision code for assembly site. This differs from "#B" (tube packaging) and does not affect electrical or functional characteristics of the R1LP5256ESP-5SI#S1 device itself.
