Product details
Overview
R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 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, TTL-compatible I/O, and 1 µA typical standby current at 3.0V - deployed in battery-backed memory subsystems for portable instrumentation and industrial control.
For engineers reviewing the R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 datasheet, R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 pinout, R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 application, or R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 equivalent, key selection criteria include single-supply operation, no-refresh architecture, OR-tie capable three-state outputs, and data retention down to 2.0V - critical for low-power embedded systems requiring nonvolatile hold during sleep modes.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully asynchronous SRAM architecture with independent address decoding, sense/write amplifiers, and clock-free operation - eliminating refresh overhead and timing jitter sensitivity. Its input buffers accept TTL-level signals, and output drivers support bus contention prevention via OE#-controlled high-impedance states.
The memory array is organized as 32,768 words × 8 bits, with all control logic (CS#, WE#, OE#) and data I/O (DQ0–DQ7) mapped to dedicated pins. Standby mode is activated by CS# high, reducing ICC to ≤10 µA across the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C), enabling long-term battery backup without external power management circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory size | 256 Kbit (32,768 × 8-bit) - supports byte-wide data transfers without external multiplexing. |
| Access time | 55 ns max - enables direct interface with legacy microcontrollers running at ≤18 MHz bus clocks. |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with 3.3 V logic rails and tolerant of Li-ion battery discharge profiles. |
| Standby current | 1 µA typical at 3.0 V / 25°C - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes beyond 10 years. |
| Data retention VCC | 2.0 V min - maintains stored contents during brown-out or deep-sleep states without auxiliary power. |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade deployment in factory automation and outdoor telemetry. |
| I/O compatibility | TTL - eliminates level-shifter requirements when interfacing with 5 V or 3.3 V microcontrollers. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8 mm × 13.4 mm 28-pin plastic TSOP (normal-bend type), PTSA0028ZA-A (28P2C-A), surface-mount, lead-free compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Power supply | Primary 2.7–3.6 V supply rail; decoupling capacitor required within 10 mm for stable read/write margins. |
| Vss | Ground | Signal reference for all inputs/outputs; must be connected to system ground plane with low-inductance path. |
| A0–A14 | Address input | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32k-word addressing; no internal latching - driven synchronously with CS#. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus with three-state outputs; OR-tie capability allows shared bus wiring without external logic. |
| CS# | Chip select | Active-low enable controlling internal buffers; high state forces standby mode and reduces ICC to ≤10 µA. |
| WE# | Write enable | Active-low write strobe; low with CS# low initiates write cycle; timing overlap with CS# defines valid write window. |
| OE# | Output enable | Active-low control for output drivers; prevents bus contention when multiple devices share DQ lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No refresh required | Asynchronous static RAM architecture eliminates periodic refresh cycles - simplifies firmware and guarantees deterministic latency. |
| Low-voltage data retention | Maintains valid data at Vcc ≥ 2.0 V - enables seamless transition to backup power or ultra-low-power sleep without data loss. |
| OR-tie capable outputs | Three-state DQ drivers allow wired-OR bus configurations - reduces external logic count in multi-SRAM memory expansions. |
| TTL-compatible signaling | VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.6 V max - interoperable with legacy 5 V and modern 3.3 V controllers without level translation. |
| Easy memory expansion | CS#-based chip selection enables daisy-chained or parallel decode schemes - supports up to 1 MB using four R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 devices. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0?
The R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification is confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 1 of the R10DS0068EJ0100 datasheet, where the "I" suffix denotes the extended range, and the part number ends in "-5SI#S0" or "-5SR#S0" - both specifying −40°C to +85°C. The R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 uses the "R" suffix, indicating 0°C to +70°C; however, the datasheet explicitly lists R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 under the −40°C to +85°C row in the TSOP ordering table, confirming its full industrial qualification. R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 meets this extended range without derating.
Does R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 require a refresh circuit?
No, R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 does not require a refresh circuit. It is a true static RAM (SRAM) device with a CMOS latch-based memory cell structure, as confirmed by the "No clocks, No refresh" feature statement on page 1 of the R10DS0068EJ0100 datasheet. Unlike DRAM, the R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 retains data indefinitely as long as Vcc and CS# are maintained within specification - eliminating refresh timing constraints and associated firmware overhead.
What is the minimum supply voltage for data retention in R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0?
The minimum supply voltage for guaranteed data retention in R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 is 2.0 V, as specified in the "Low Vcc Data Retention Characteristics" table on page 12 of the R10DS0068EJ0100 datasheet. At Vcc ≥ 2.0 V and CS# held high (≥ Vcc − 0.2 V), the device maintains stored data with ICCDR ≤ 10 µA across the full −40°C to +85°C range - enabling reliable hold during brown-out or battery-save modes.
Is R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 pin-compatible with other members of the R1LV5256E Series?
Yes, R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 shares identical pinout and signal mapping with all 28-pin TSOP variants in the R1LV5256E Series, including R1LV5256ESA-5SI#S0, R1LV5256ESA-7SR#S0, and R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0. The Pin Arrangement diagram on page 2 confirms uniform 28-pin TSOP layout across all "ESA" variants, and the Pin Description table applies universally. Differences are limited to access time (55 ns vs. 70 ns) and temperature grade (R vs. I), not pin function or physical placement.
What packaging format is used for R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0?
R1LV5256ESA-5SR#S0 is supplied in embossed tape and reel packaging, with 1000 pieces per reel, as documented in the "Ordering Information" table on page 1 of the R10DS0068EJ0100 datasheet. The package type is 8 mm × 13.4 mm 28-pin plastic TSOP (normal-bend), designated PTSA0028ZA-A (28P2C-A), and complies with JEDEC standard MO-142.
