Product details
Overview
R1LV5256ESA-7SR#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 70ns access time, 0–+70°C temperature range, and packaged in 28-pin TSOP (PTSA0028ZA-A). It serves as non-volatile memory backup buffer in battery-powered instrumentation and portable industrial controllers requiring zero-refresh operation and TTL-compatible interfacing.
For engineers reviewing the R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 datasheet, R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 pinout, R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 application, or R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 equivalent, key selection criteria include standby current ≤8μA at +70°C, chip-select–controlled data retention down to 2.0V Vcc, three-state OR-tie capable I/Os, and compatibility with legacy 28-pin SRAM footprints in space-constrained embedded systems.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully static CMOS architecture with no internal clocks or refresh circuitry, relying on address latch control via CS#, WE#, and OE# signals. Its memory array uses high-performance 0.15μm CMOS and TFT processes to achieve low active current (ICC1 ≤25mA) and ultra-low standby current (ISB ≤8μA at +70°C).
The R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 supports asynchronous read/write cycles with defined timing windows including tAA = 70ns, tOE = 35ns, tWC = 70ns, and tWP = 50ns. All inputs/outputs are TTL-compatible, and output enable (OE#) prevents bus contention during shared-data-bus operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 256Kb (32,768 × 8-bit) - provides byte-wide data path for microcontroller peripherals without external data-width conversion. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7–3.6V - compatible with 3.3V logic rails and enables direct connection to Li-ion battery-backed systems. |
| Access Time | 70ns - supports reliable interface with mid-speed MCUs (e.g., ARM7, RL78, or legacy 8051 derivatives) without wait states. |
| Standby Current | ≤8μA at +70°C - extends battery life in always-on monitoring nodes where memory must retain data during sleep modes. |
| Operating Temperature | 0 to +70°C - qualified for commercial-grade industrial control panels, test equipment, and medical handheld devices. |
| Data Retention Vcc | 2.0V minimum - allows memory contents to persist during brown-out conditions or battery voltage sag below nominal 2.7V. |
| Package | 28-pin TSOP (PTSA0028ZA-A, 8mm × 13.4mm) - surface-mount footprint optimized for compact PCB layouts with standard reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic TSOP (normal-bend type), JEDEC MO-153 compliant, body size 8mm × 13.4mm, lead pitch 0.55mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Vcc | Power supply | Primary 2.7–3.6V supply input; decoupling capacitor required within 10mm for stable read/write operation. |
| Vss | Ground | Signal and power ground reference; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane. |
| A0–A14 | Address inputs | 15-bit address bus supporting full 32k-word addressing; driven by MCU address lines A0–A14. |
| DQ0–DQ7 | Data I/O | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus with three-state outputs; supports OR-tie configuration when multiple devices share same bus. |
| CS# | Chip select | Active-low enable controlling all internal buffers; high state places outputs in high-Z and enables data retention mode. |
| WE# | Write enable | Active-low write strobe; combined with CS# low initiates write cycle; must meet tWP ≥50ns pulse width. |
| OE# | Output enable | Active-low control for output drivers; prevents bus contention when multiple SRAMs or peripherals share DQ lines. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No refresh required | Eliminates need for external refresh circuitry or periodic CPU intervention-ideal for ultra-low-power sleep modes. |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interface with 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting components or additional logic. |
| Chip-select–controlled data retention | Enters ultra-low-power retention mode (ICCDR ≤10μA) automatically when CS# is high, even at Vcc = 2.0V. |
| OR-tie capability | Three-state outputs allow multiple R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 devices to share a common data bus without external bus transceivers. |
| Common data I/O | Reduces pin count and simplifies PCB routing versus separate data-in/data-out architectures. |

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 power; requires PCB redesign. | Select when 16-bit data path and sub-10ns timing are mandatory; not drop-in compatible. |
| AS6C4008-70SCN | 256K × 8-bit, 70ns, 2.7–3.6V, 28-pin SOP (PRSP0028DB-B) | Same electrical specs but 450-mil SOP package; incompatible pinout and thermal profile vs. TSOP. | Choose for through-hole prototyping or legacy SOP-based designs; no PCB reuse possible. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0?
The R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 is rated for operation from 0°C to +70°C (commercial grade). This range is confirmed in the ordering information table on page 1 of the R10DS0068EJ0100 datasheet and applies specifically to the "R" suffix variants like R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0. Operation outside this range may result in timing violations or data retention failure.
Does R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 require a refresh clock or external refresh controller?
No, the R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 is a true static RAM and requires no refresh clock or external refresh controller. Its architecture uses latched flip-flops for each memory cell, enabling indefinite data retention as long as power and CS# are maintained-eliminating refresh overhead in MCU firmware and reducing system complexity.
What is the minimum Vcc required to retain data in R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 during standby?
The R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 guarantees data retention down to Vcc = 2.0V when CS# is held high, as specified in the Low Vcc Data Retention Characteristics table (page 12). At this voltage, retention current (ICCDR) remains ≤10μA up to +85°C, making it suitable for brown-out resilience in battery-backed systems.
Can R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 be used with a 5V microcontroller interface?
No-R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 is strictly a 2.7–3.6V device with TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.6V), but its absolute maximum input voltage is Vcc + 0.3V (≤3.9V). Direct connection to 5V logic will exceed VIH limits and risk damage. A level translator or voltage divider is required for 5V host interfaces.
What package type does R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 use, and is it RoHS compliant?
R1LV5256ESA-7SR#B0 uses an 8mm × 13.4mm 28-pin plastic TSOP (normal-bend type), part number PTSA0028ZA-A. Per Renesas documentation and compliance statements in the datasheet colophon, the device meets EU RoHS Directive requirements and contains no restricted substances above threshold limits.
