Product details
Overview
R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 from Renesas Electronics is a 256Kb low-power static RAM (32k × 8-bit) in 450-mil 28-pin SOP package, operating from 2.7V to 3.6V with 70 ns access time and 0°C to +70°C temperature range. It delivers TTL-compatible I/O, no-refresh operation, and 1 µA typical standby current at 3.0V - optimized for battery-backed memory systems in portable instrumentation and embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 datasheet, R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 pinout, R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 application, or R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 equivalent, key selection criteria include single-supply 2.7–3.6V operation, 70 ns read/write timing, 28-pin SOP mechanical compatibility, and low-leakage data retention down to 2.0V Vcc.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully static CMOS memory array with asynchronous parallel interface, using address latching via CS#, WE#, and OE# control signals. All inputs are TTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2.0V and VIL ≤ 0.6V, and outputs feature three-state capability with OR-tie support and bus contention prevention via OE#.
The R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 uses a 32k-word × 8-bit organization with common I/O pins (DQ0–DQ7), no internal clocks or refresh circuitry, and chip-select–driven memory expansion. Standby mode is entered when CS# = VIH, reducing ICC to ≤1 µA at 25°C while retaining data down to 2.0V Vcc.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0?
The R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 does not use a clock signal and operates asynchronously. Its timing is defined by access and cycle times: 70 ns maximum address access time (tAA) and 70 ns read/write cycle time (tRC/tWC). System-level maximum throughput depends on bus protocol overhead, but the device supports sustained random access at up to ~14.3 MHz effective rate under ideal conditions. The R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 requires no clock generation circuitry.
Does the R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 require external refresh circuitry?
No, the R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 is a fully static RAM and requires no refresh cycles or external refresh controller. Its CMOS memory cells retain data indefinitely as long as power is applied and CS# remains active. This eliminates timing-critical refresh windows and simplifies firmware design - a key advantage over DRAM. The R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 maintains data even in standby mode when CS# is high.
Can the R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 be used with a 5V microcontroller interface?
The R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 has TTL-compatible inputs (VIH ≥ 2.0V, VIL ≤ 0.6V) and outputs (VOH ≥ 2.4V at –0.5mA), making it safe to interface directly with 5V-tolerant 3.3V microcontrollers. However, it must be powered from 2.7–3.6V - applying 5V to Vcc will exceed absolute maximum ratings and cause permanent damage. The R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 is not 5V I/O tolerant on its power rail.
What is the data retention behavior of the R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 during power loss?
When Vcc drops below normal operating range but remains ≥2.0V and CS# stays high, the R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 enters data retention mode with ICCDR ≤10 µA at +85°C. Data is preserved without refresh for indefinite duration as long as Vcc ≥2.0V. Recovery requires tR = 5 ms after Vcc returns to ≥2.7V before normal operation resumes. The R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 guarantees retention down to 2.0V, not just "low voltage" generally.
Is the R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 pin-compatible with other variants in the R1LV5256E family?
Yes - all R1LV5256E Series parts in the same package type (e.g., 28-pin SOP) share identical pinouts, including R1LV5256ESP-5SR#S0, R1LV5256ESP-7SI#S0, and R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0. Differences are limited to access time (55 ns vs. 70 ns) and temperature grade (R: 0°C to +70°C vs. I: –40°C to +85°C). The R1LV5256ESP-7SR#S0 can be substituted for R1LV5256ESP-5SR#S0 in non-speed-critical designs without PCB changes.
