Product details
Overview
R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 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 70ns access time, -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range, and packaged in 28-pin TSOP (PTSA0028ZA-A). It serves as non-volatile backup memory in battery-powered instrumentation and embedded control systems requiring zero-refresh operation and TTL-compatible interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 datasheet, R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 pinout, R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 application, or R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current ≤10µA at +85°C, no-clock/no-refresh architecture, chip-select–based memory expansion capability, and compatibility with 3.3V microcontroller buses in space-constrained industrial modules.
Technical Context
The R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 implements a fully static CMOS memory array with independent address, data, and control buffers-no internal clocks or refresh circuitry required. Its three-state bidirectional DQ0–DQ7 I/Os support OR-tie bus configurations, while CS#, WE#, and OE# enable precise cycle control for read, write, and output disable operations.
Designed for low-voltage battery backup, it supports data retention down to VCC = 2.0V with ICCDR ≤10µA at +85°C and tCDR = 0ns chip-deselect-to-retention transition. All DC inputs meet TTL voltage thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.6V), ensuring interoperability with legacy 3.3V logic families without level-shifting.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 16-bit bus (256K × 16), 10ns access, 3.3V only, 44-pin TSOP | Higher bandwidth but larger footprint and higher active current (45mA typ) | Select when 16-bit data path and faster timing outweigh board area and power constraints |
| AS6C4008-70ZIN | 8-bit bus, 70ns access, 2.7–3.6V, 28-pin SOJ (not TSOP), 1µA standby at 25°C | Same speed and voltage but different package (SOJ vs TSOP); not pin-compatible | Choose only if SOJ mounting is acceptable and thermal profile permits same industrial temp range |
Compared with R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0, IS61LV25616AL-10TLI delivers higher throughput at cost of layout area and quiescent power, while AS6C4008-70ZIN matches electrical specs but requires PCB redesign due to SOJ lead form and incompatible pinout.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature specification for R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0?
The R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 is rated for industrial temperature operation from -40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed in the Ordering Information table on page 1 of the R10DS0068EJ0100 datasheet, where the "I" suffix denotes the -40°C to +85°C range, and the "SI" variant explicitly maps to this grade. The device meets all DC and AC specifications across this full range.
Does R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 require an external clock signal to operate?
No, the R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 is a fully static RAM and requires no external clock. As stated in the Features section on page 1, it operates with "No clocks, No refresh." All timing is controlled solely by the asynchronous assertion of CS#, WE#, and OE# signals, making it ideal for simple microcontroller interfaces without clock domain management.
What is the minimum supply voltage at which R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 retains stored data?
The R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 guarantees data retention down to VCC = 2.0V, as specified in the "Low Vcc Data Retention Characteristics" table on page 12. At this voltage, with CS# held high and ambient temperature ≤+85°C, the device draws ≤10µA and maintains memory contents indefinitely-critical for battery-failover scenarios in industrial systems.
Is R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 pin-compatible with other variants in the R1LV5256E Series?
Yes, all R1LV5256E Series parts-including R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0-share identical 28-pin TSOP pinouts per the Pin Arrangement diagram on page 2. The "ESA" prefix denotes TSOP packaging, and the pin functions (A0–A14, DQ0–DQ7, CS#, WE#, OE#, Vcc, Vss) are fixed across speed grades (-5S/-7S) and temperature versions (-SR/-SI), enabling drop-in replacement within the same package type.
What is the purpose of the OE# pin on R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0?
The OE# (Output Enable) pin on R1LV5256ESA-7SI#S0 is an active-low control that places the DQ0–DQ7 data lines in high-impedance state when deasserted (OE# = high), preventing bus contention during multi-device sharing. As shown in the Operation Table on page 4, OE# must be low during read cycles to enable valid output; its timing (tOE ≤35ns) directly determines data valid window relative to address and CS# transitions.
