Product details
Overview
R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 from Renesas Electronics is a 256Kb low-power static RAM organized as 32,768 × 8-bit, operating from a single 2.7–3.6V supply, with 55 ns access time and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), packaged in 28-pin TSOP. It serves as non-volatile memory buffer in battery-backed systems requiring zero refresh, TTL-compatible interfacing, and ultra-low standby current.
For engineers reviewing the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 datasheet, R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 pinout, R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 application, or R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 1 µA typical standby current at 3.0V, no-clock/no-refresh operation, CS#/OE#/WE# control architecture, and compatibility with legacy 8-bit parallel bus systems in space-constrained industrial designs.
Technical Context
This SRAM implements asynchronous parallel interface logic with three-state bidirectional DQ0–DQ7 I/Os, chip-select–gated address decoding, and independent output-enable control to prevent bus contention. Its internal architecture features a 32k-word × 8-bit memory array with column/row decoders, sense/write amplifiers, and clock generator for timing synchronization - all fabricated on Renesas' 0.15 µm CMOS/TFT process.
Operation relies on active-low control signals: CS# enables memory access, WE# determines read/write direction, and OE# gates output drivers. Standby mode is entered when CS# is high, reducing ICC to ≤10 µA at +85°C; data retention remains valid down to VCC = 2.0V with CS# held high.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 256 Kbit (32,768 words × 8 bits) - supports byte-wide data transfers without external multiplexing. |
| Access Time | 55 ns - ensures compatibility with 18 MHz bus timing in microcontroller-based systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6 V - matches Li-ion battery discharge profile and eliminates need for voltage regulation in portable designs. |
| Standby Current | 10 µA max at +85°C - enables multi-year battery backup in real-time clock and configuration storage applications. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automotive body electronics. |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible inputs/outputs - allows direct connection to legacy MCU GPIOs without level-shifting circuitry. |
| Data Retention VCC | 2.0 V min - maintains stored data during brown-out or sleep-mode battery sag without external capacitor hold-up. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP (8 mm × 13.4 mm, normal-bend type, PTSA0028ZA-A).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Power supply | Primary 2.7–3.6V supply input; bypass capacitor required near pin for noise suppression. |
| Vss | Ground | Signal and power ground reference; must be low-impedance connection to system GND plane. |
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit address bus accepting 0x0000–0x7FFF; latched on falling edge of CS# during access. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bidirectional data I/O | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when CS# or OE# is high to enable OR-tie bus sharing. |
| CS# | Chip select | Active-low enable; controls internal buffers and enters standby when high (reducing ICC to µA range). |
| WE# | Write enable | Active-low write strobe; low with CS# low initiates write cycle; high with CS# low enables read. |
| OE# | Output enable | Active-low output gate; prevents bus contention when multiple devices share DQ lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No refresh required | Eliminates periodic memory refresh overhead in MCU firmware and reduces system power management complexity. |
| 1 µA typical standby current | Extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes where memory must retain state between wake cycles. |
| OR-tie capability | Enables multiple R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 devices to share a common 8-bit data bus using open-drain or wired-OR topology. |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interface with legacy 5V-tolerant or 3.3V microcontrollers without level translators or pull-up resistors. |
| Low-voltage data retention | Maintains valid data at VCC ≥ 2.0V, supporting graceful degradation during power failure or battery depletion. |

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 width (256K × 16), 10 ns access, 3.3V only, 44-pin TSOP | Requires wider data bus and PCB layout change; higher speed but higher standby current (15 µA) | Select when system demands faster access and 16-bit data path; not pin-compatible. |
| AS6C4008-55ZIN | Same 8-bit × 32k organization, 55 ns, –40°C to +85°C, 28-pin SOP (not TSOP) | Different package (SOP vs TSOP); slightly higher standby current (20 µA typ) | Use if SOP footprint is preferred; requires board rework due to different pinout and thermal profile. |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-55ZIN, the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 offers optimal balance of industrial temperature support, ultra-low standby current, and TSOP packaging for space-constrained battery-backed designs - without requiring bus width expansion or layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0?
R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 is an asynchronous SRAM with no internal clock; its timing is governed by access time and cycle time specifications. With a 55 ns access time and 55 ns cycle time, it supports reliable operation up to approximately 18 MHz in systems where address and control setup/hold times are met - verified under VCC = 2.7–3.6V and Ta = –40°C to +85°C conditions per the R10DS0068EJ0100 datasheet.
Does R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 require external refresh circuitry?
No, R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 is a static RAM and does not require external refresh circuitry. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as power is applied and CS# is held low during active use. The "No refresh" feature is explicitly listed in the official Renesas datasheet and eliminates timing-critical refresh overhead in firmware design.
What is the minimum supply voltage for data retention in R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0?
The minimum supply voltage for guaranteed data retention in R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 is 2.0 V, provided CS# is held high (≥ VCC – 0.2 V) and ambient temperature does not exceed +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the "Low Vcc Data Retention Characteristics" table on page 12 of the R10DS0068EJ0100 datasheet.
Is R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 pin-compatible with other members of the R1LV5256E Series?
Yes, all R1LV5256E Series variants - including R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0, R1LV5256ESA-7SI#B0, and R1LV5256ESP-5SI#B0 - share identical pinouts within the same package type (TSOP or SOP). However, R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 (TSOP) is not pin-compatible with SOP-packaged variants due to differing physical pin arrangements and package dimensions.
What is the typical standby current of R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 at room temperature?
The typical standby current of R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B0 is 1 µA at 3.0 V and +25°C, as specified in the DC Characteristics table on page 5 of the R10DS0068EJ0100 datasheet. Maximum standby current is 10 µA at +85°C, making it suitable for long-duration battery-backed applications.
