Product details
Overview
R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 from Renesas Electronics is a 256Kb low-power static RAM (32k × 8-bit) in 28-pin TSOP package, operating from 2.7V to 3.6V with 55 ns access time, 0.6 µA typical standby current at 3.0V, and TTL-compatible I/O - deployed in battery-backed memory subsystems for industrial controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 datasheet, R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 pinout, R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 application, or R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 equivalent, key selection criteria include low-voltage data retention down to 2.0V, no-refresh operation, chip-select expandability, three-state OR-tie capable outputs, and -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature support.
Technical Context
The R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 implements a fully static CMOS memory array with asynchronous parallel interface, no internal clocks or refresh circuitry, and address/data multiplexing eliminated by dedicated A0–A14 and DQ0–DQ7 lines. Its control logic relies solely on CS#, WE#, and OE# active-low signals to manage read/write cycles and output tri-state behavior.
It supports two distinct write modes (WE#-clocked and CS#-clocked), guarantees data retention at Vcc ≥ 2.0V with CS# high, and maintains <1 µA input/output leakage across full temperature range - enabling direct integration into low-power, battery-operated systems requiring nonvolatile backup without external controllers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32,768 words × 8 bits) - fixed parallel organization, no address multiplexing required |
| Access time | 55 ns - defines minimum cycle time for reliable read/write in high-speed microcontroller interfaces |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3V logic domains and battery-sourced rails down to 2.7V |
| Standby current | 0.6 µA typical at 3.0V/25°C - enables multi-year battery life in always-on backup mode |
| Data retention VCC | 2.0 V minimum - preserves stored data during brown-out or battery depletion events |
| Operating temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and telemetry applications |
| I/O compatibility | TTL-level inputs and outputs - interoperable with legacy 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin TSOP (8 mm × 13.4 mm, Type II, 0.55 mm pitch), surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Power supply | Primary 2.7–3.6V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm |
| Vss (GND) | Ground reference | Common return path for all digital and I/O circuits; must be low-impedance |
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit unidirectional address bus selecting one of 32,768 memory locations |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Bi-directional data I/O | 8-bit common bus for read data output or write data input; three-state controlled by CS#/OE# |
| CS# | Chip select | Active-low enable for device selection; high state forces standby mode and data retention |
| WE# | Write enable | Active-low signal initiating write cycle; combined with CS# to define write window timing |
| OE# | Output enable | Active-low control for output buffer; prevents bus contention when multiple devices share DQ lines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No refresh required | Eliminates need for external refresh controller or periodic CPU intervention - reduces firmware overhead and power spikes |
| Low standby current | 0.6 µA typical at 3.0V enables >10-year battery backup in SRAM-based real-time clock or configuration storage |
| OR-tie capability | Three-state outputs allow wired-OR connection of multiple R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 devices on shared data bus without external logic |
| Easy memory expansion | CS#-based chip selection supports daisy-chained or decoded addressing for multi-SRAM systems up to 1 Mbyte |
| 2.0V data retention | Maintains valid data with Vcc as low as 2.0V while CS# remains asserted - critical for graceful shutdown in power-loss scenarios |

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, 3.3V only, 44-pin TSOP | Higher density and speed but wider bus and incompatible pinout; requires PCB redesign | Select only if system demands >32K × 8 capacity or sub-55 ns timing - not drop-in compatible with R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 |
| AS6C4008-55TIN | 8-bit bus, 55 ns access, 2.7–3.6V, 28-pin SOP (not TSOP), 2 µA standby typical | Same logic interface but different package footprint; higher standby current reduces battery lifetime | Acceptable for space-constrained designs where SOP fits layout - verify thermal derating at +85°C due to lower power dissipation margin |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-55TIN, the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 uniquely balances 28-pin TSOP compactness, industry-leading 0.6 µA standby, and guaranteed 2.0V data retention - making it optimal for battery-critical, thermally demanding, and layout-sensitive industrial edge nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1?
The R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 does not operate on a clock signal - it is an asynchronous static RAM. Its timing is governed by access and cycle times: 55 ns maximum address access time (tAA) and 55 ns read/write cycle time (tRC/tWC). System timing depends on controlling MCU or FPGA setup/hold margins relative to these parameters, not a clock frequency.
Can the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 retain data when Vcc drops below 2.7V?
Yes - the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 guarantees data retention down to 2.0V, provided CS# remains high (≥ Vcc − 0.2V) and ambient temperature does not exceed +85°C. At 2.0V and 25°C, typical retention current is 0.6 µA, enabling multi-year backup with standard lithium coin cells.
Is the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 pin-compatible with the R1LV5256ESP-5SI#S1?
No - the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 uses a 28-pin TSOP package, while the R1LV5256ESP-5SI#S1 uses a 28-pin SOP package. Although both share identical pin functions and electrical specifications, their physical footprints, solder pad layouts, and mechanical dimensions differ significantly and are not interchangeable without PCB revision.
Does the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 require external refresh circuitry?
No - the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 is a true static RAM with no refresh requirement. Its CMOS latch-based memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as power is applied and CS# is held high during standby. This eliminates refresh overhead, timing constraints, and associated firmware complexity found in DRAM or pseudo-SRAM solutions.
What is the meaning of "#S1" in the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 part number?
The "#S1" suffix in R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 denotes embossed tape packaging (8 mm carrier tape, 13.4 mm pocket width) per JEDEC standard, with "S1" indicating a specific assembly site revision code. It does not affect electrical or functional characteristics - the R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S1 performs identically to R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S0 or R1LV5256ESA-5SI#B* variants.
