Product details
Overview
R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 from Renesas Electronics is a 2Mb low-power static RAM organized as 262,144 × 8-bit, fabricated in 0.15µm CMOS/TFT process, operating from a single 2.7–3.6V supply with 55ns access time and 1µA typical standby current at 3.0V. It serves as non-volatile memory backup buffer in battery-powered instrumentation and embedded control systems requiring zero-refresh operation and TTL-compatible interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 datasheet, R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 pinout, R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 application, or R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its sTSOP-32 package, dual chip select architecture (CS1#/CS2), common I/O bus, three-state output capability, and data retention down to 2.0V Vcc.
Technical Context
The R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 implements a fully static memory array with no internal clocks or refresh circuitry, relying on external address latching and control timing. Its dual chip select (CS1# active-low, CS2 active-high) enables hierarchical memory expansion without additional logic, while OE# and WE# provide independent read/write bus control.
It uses standard TTL-level input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.6V) and delivers VOH ≥ 2.4V at –0.5mA and VOL ≤ 0.4V at 2mA, ensuring robust interoperability with legacy microcontrollers and FPGAs. Data retention mode is activated by either CS2 ≤ 0.2V or CS1# ≥ Vcc–0.2V with CS2 ≥ Vcc–0.2V, drawing ≤10µA at +85°C.

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 | 256K × 16-bit, 10ns access, 3.3V only, SOJ-44 package | Wider data bus; faster but higher power; incompatible pinout and density | Select only if 16-bit interface and sub-10ns timing are required; board redesign needed |
| AS6C4008-55PCN | 512K × 8-bit, 55ns access, 2.7–3.6V, SOP-32 package | Double capacity; same speed and voltage; SOP-32 vs sTSOP-32 footprint differs (1.27mm vs 0.5mm pitch) | Drop-in replacement only with PCB pad revision; identical timing and control logic |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-55PCN, the R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 offers optimal balance of 2Mb density, 55ns speed, ultra-low standby current, and sTSOP-32 footprint-making it preferred for space-constrained, battery-sensitive designs where 8-bit bus width suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0?
The R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C (R-version). This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 1 of the R10DS0050EJ0100 datasheet. The device is not qualified for extended industrial temperature ranges (–40°C to +85°C), which apply only to variants ending in "I" such as R1LV0208BSA-5SI#B0. Thermal derating is not supported beyond this range.
Does the R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 require an external clock or refresh signal?
No, the R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 is a fully static RAM and requires no external clock or refresh signal. Its operation relies solely on address, data, and control signals (CS1#, CS2, WE#, OE#). This is explicitly stated in the Features section ("No clocks, No refresh") and confirmed by the block diagram showing no clock generator feeding the memory array. The R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 maintains data indefinitely as long as Vcc remains within specification and appropriate control timing is observed.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which the R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 retains stored data?
The R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 guarantees data retention down to 2.0V Vcc, as specified in the Low Vcc Data Retention Characteristics table (page 12). This applies when either CS2 ≤ 0.2V or CS1# ≥ Vcc–0.2V with CS2 ≥ Vcc–0.2V. At 2.0V, retention current is ≤10µA at +85°C. Below 2.0V, data loss may occur regardless of control pin states.
Can the R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 be used with a 5V microcontroller system?
The R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 has TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.6V), so it accepts 5V logic-high signals safely. However, its outputs are not 5V-tolerant: VOH is specified as ≥2.4V at –0.5mA (not 5V), and absolute maximum Vcc is +4.6V. Direct connection to a 5V bus risks overvoltage damage unless level translation or open-drain pull-ups are used. For mixed-voltage systems, interface buffers or voltage translators are recommended.
What package type does the R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 use, and is it lead-free?
The R1LV0208BSA-5SR#B0 uses a 32-pin plastic sTSOP (thin shrink small outline package) with dimensions 8mm × 13.4mm and normal-bend leads (package code PTSA0032KB-A). Per Renesas' environmental compliance documentation referenced in the datasheet colophon, the device is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, meeting EU Directive 2011/65/EU requirements. The "#B0" suffix denotes tray packaging; "#S0" denotes tape-and-reel.
