Product details
Overview
R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 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-designed for battery-backed memory systems in industrial controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 datasheet, R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 pinout, R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 application, or R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage data retention (down to 2.0V), no-refresh operation, three-state OR-tie capable outputs, and 28-pin SOP packaging compatible with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 implements a fully static CMOS memory array with asynchronous parallel interface logic, supporting independent chip select (CS#), output enable (OE#), and write enable (WE#) controls. Its architecture eliminates refresh circuitry and clock dependencies, enabling deterministic read/write timing across full temperature range (–40°C to +85°C).
All address (A0–A14), data (DQ0–DQ7), and control inputs are TTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2.2V and VIL ≤ 0.8V. Output drive strength meets VOH ≥ 2.4V at IOH = –1mA and VOL ≤ 0.4V at IOL = 2mA, ensuring robust bus interfacing without external level-shifting.
Key Specifications

| Vss (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all I/O and internal logic; must be low-impedance |
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0x0000–0x7FFF; latched on CS# assertion |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional data I/O | Three-state TTL buffers; high-Z when CS# = high or OE# = high |
| CS# | Chip select | Active-low enable controlling address/data buffers and power state entry |
| WE# | Write enable | Active-low signal qualifying write cycles; sampled synchronously with CS# |
| OE# | Output enable | Active-low control for output drivers only; does not affect internal memory state |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 16-bit bus width (256K × 16), 10 ns access, 3.3V supply only | Requires bus-width adaptation and level translation; unsuitable for 8-bit systems without glue logic | Select only if migrating to wider data paths and lower voltage domains |
| AS6C4008-55PCN | Same 8-bit bus, 55 ns access, but 2.7–3.6V supply range and 28-pin SOJ package | Not pin-compatible; requires PCB redesign due to different lead pitch and body dimensions | Consider only for new designs targeting 3V operation and SOJ mounting |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0?
The R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 does not use a clock and has no maximum operating frequency specification. Its 55 ns access time defines the minimum read/write cycle period (≥18.2 MHz effective rate), but actual throughput depends on system-level timing margins for address setup, hold, and control signal propagation. The R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 is designed for asynchronous bus interfacing without clock domain constraints.
Does the R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 require external refresh circuitry?
No, the R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 is a true static RAM and requires no external refresh circuitry or periodic access to retain data. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells maintain state indefinitely as long as Vcc remains within specification and CS# is held high during standby. This eliminates refresh overhead in microcontroller firmware and simplifies system design compared to DRAM solutions.
Can the R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 retain data when Vcc drops below 4.5V?
Yes, the R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 supports data retention down to 2.0V Vcc when CS# is held high, enabling reliable operation during brown-out conditions or battery backup scenarios. At 3.0V, typical retention current is 0.6 µA at 25°C, rising to 10 µA at 85°C. Full functionality (read/write) resumes automatically once Vcc returns above 4.5V and stabilization time (tR = 5 ms) elapses.
Is the R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 pin-compatible with older Renesas SRAMs like the R1L5256ES?
Yes, the R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0 shares identical pinout, signal definitions, and electrical characteristics with earlier members of the R1L5256E family, including the R1L5256ES. It maintains full functional and mechanical compatibility in 28-pin SOP packages, allowing direct replacement without PCB modification or firmware changes.
What is the meaning of the "-7SI#S0" suffix in R1LP5256ESP-7SI#S0?
The "-7SI#S0" suffix indicates a 55 ns access time grade (7 = 55 ns), industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), 28-pin SOP package (SP), and embossed tape packaging (S) with assembly revision code 0. This matches Renesas' standardized ordering nomenclature for the R1LP5256E Series, confirming the device's timing, environmental, and packaging specifications.
