Product details
Overview
RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 from Renesas Electronics is an 8Mb Advanced LPSRAM organized as 524,288-word × 16-bit (or 1,048,576-word × 8-bit), operating from a single 2.4–3.6V supply, with 45ns max access time at 2.7–3.6V and 0.45µA typical standby current at +25°C - designed for low-power battery-backed memory in industrial controllers and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 datasheet, RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 pinout, RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 application, or RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 equivalent, key selection criteria include byte/word mode flexibility, TSOP (I) package compatibility, low-voltage data retention down to 1.5V, TTL-level I/O compatibility, and dual chip select architecture for memory banking.
Technical Context
This static RAM implements a dual-mode address/data architecture supporting both word (A0–A18) and byte (A−1–A18) addressing via BYTE# control, enabling seamless 8-bit or 16-bit bus interfacing without external logic. Its internal column decoder and sense/write amplifier support simultaneous upper/lower byte writes and word reads with equal access and cycle times.
The device uses Renesas's Advanced LPSRAM process to achieve sub-microamp standby current while maintaining full-speed operation across −40°C to +85°C. Three-state DQ outputs, direct TTL compatibility on all pins, and independent LB#/UB# controls allow precise byte-level access in mixed-width systems.

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 | 10 ns faster access (35 ns), 3.3 V only (3.0–3.6 V), no 2.4 V operation | Requires stable 3.3 V rail; unsuitable for wide-input battery systems | Choose when speed > power savings and supply regulation is tight |
| AS6C4008-55PCN | 55 ns access, 2.7–3.6 V, 44-pin SOJ package - no BYTE# pin or byte-mode support | Lacks hardware-configurable bus width; requires external address muxing for 8-bit interfaces | Choose for cost-sensitive, fixed-bus-width designs where 45 ns timing is not required |
Compared with IS61LV25616AL-10TLI and AS6C4008-55PCN, the RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 uniquely balances ultra-low standby current, wide supply range, and hardware-selectable 8/16-bit operation - making it optimal for battery-backed, thermally constrained, or mixed-bus embedded systems where flexibility and longevity outweigh raw speed.

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for data retention in the RMLV0816BGSA-4S2?
The RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 guarantees data retention down to 1.5 V, as specified in the Low VCC Data Retention Characteristics table (Page 13). At this voltage, with CS2 ≤ 0.2 V or other valid retention entry conditions met, the device maintains stored data while drawing only 0.45 µA typical current at +25°C - enabling robust operation during brown-out or battery-depletion scenarios.
Does the RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 support both 8-bit and 16-bit data buses natively?
Yes, the RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 supports native 8-bit and 16-bit operation via the BYTE# pin. When BYTE# is asserted, the device operates in byte mode (1,048,576 × 8), using A−1 as the LSB; when deasserted, it operates in word mode (524,288 × 16). This eliminates external address multiplexing or bus-width translation logic in mixed-interface systems.
What is the maximum operating frequency implied by the RMLV0816BGSA-4S2's 45 ns access time?
A 45 ns access time corresponds to a maximum sustainable random-read frequency of approximately 22.2 MHz (1 / 45 ns). The RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 achieves this at 2.7–3.6 V supply; at 2.4–2.7 V, access time increases to 55 ns (≤18.2 MHz). Cycle time equals access time, ensuring deterministic timing for synchronous controller interfaces.
How does the dual chip select (CS1# and CS2) architecture benefit system design with the RMLV0816BGSA-4S2?
The RMLV0816BGSA-4S2's CS1# and CS2 inputs enable hierarchical memory decoding: CS2 acts as a master enable for address/control buffers, while CS1# selects the device within that group. This allows flexible bank switching, partial memory disablement for power gating, and clean isolation during bus sharing - reducing contention and simplifying address decoding in multi-SRAM systems.
Is the RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 pin-compatible with standard 48-pin TSOP (I) SRAMs such as the IS61LV25616AL?
No, the RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 is not pin-compatible with IS61LV25616AL. While both use 48-pin TSOP (I), pin assignments differ significantly - notably, RMLV0816BGSA-4S2 places A15–A18 and NC pins in positions occupied by DQ lines on the IS61LV25616AL. Layout reuse requires verification against the official Renesas pin diagram (Page 2).
