Product details
Overview
RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 from Renesas Electronics is a 16-Mbit asynchronous low-power SRAM organized as 1,048,576-word × 16-bit (or 2,097,152-word × 8-bit in byte mode), fabricated with Advanced LPSRAM technology and integrated on-chip ECC for enhanced soft error immunity. It operates from a single 2.7–3.6 V supply, delivers 55 ns max access time, and draws only 4.4 µA typical standby current at +85°C - making it ideal for battery-backed industrial control, medical data loggers, and railway signaling systems requiring long-term data retention without refresh.
For engineers reviewing the RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 datasheet, RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 pinout, RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 application, or RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 equivalent, key selection criteria include its 48-ball FBGA (0.75 mm pitch) package, word-mode-only operation (BYTE# fixed high), ultra-low ISB1 standby current, and support for three independent chip-select configurations (CS1#, CS2) enabling seamless memory expansion in space-constrained embedded designs.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully asynchronous interface with no clocks or refresh cycles required. Its dual chip-select architecture (CS1# active-low, CS2 active-high) allows hierarchical memory mapping, while separate LB#/UB# controls enable byte-level write granularity in word mode.
The 48-ball FBGA variant operates exclusively in word mode (1M × 16), eliminating BYTE# pin functionality per datasheet Note 7. Data retention is guaranteed down to 1.5 V VCC with sub-5 µA ICCDR current at +70°C, enabled via CS2 low, CS1# high, or simultaneous LB#/UB# high assertion - critical for fail-safe backup operation in power-loss scenarios.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory capacity | 16 Mbit (1,048,576 × 16-bit word mode only; BYTE# not supported) |
| Access time | 55 ns max - defines minimum read cycle time in high-reliability real-time systems |
| Supply voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with standard 3.3 V rails and brown-out tolerant down to 1.5 V for data retention |
| Standby current | 4.4 µA typ. at +85°C - enables >10-year battery life in coin-cell–powered backup applications |
| Soft error rate | < 0.04 FIT/Mb - achieved via on-chip ECC and Advanced LPSRAM process, reducing uncorrectable errors by >10× vs. standard SRAM |
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and transportation-grade environments |
| Package | 48-ball FBGA, 7.5 mm × 8.5 mm, 0.75 mm ball pitch - supports fine-pitch PCB routing and thermal performance (Θja = 37.6°C/W) |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-ball fine-pitch BGA (JEITA code P-TFBGA48-7.5x8.5-0.75), RoHS-compliant, Pb-free.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0–A19 | Address inputs | 100% addressable space for 1M-word × 16-bit configuration; A-1 not used (BYTE# absent) |
| I/O0–I/O15 | Bidirectional data bus | True common I/O with 3-state output control; supports full 16-bit parallel transfers |
| CS1#, CS2 | Chip select inputs | CS1# active-low + CS2 active-high enables hierarchical decoding; both required for valid access |
| WE#, OE#, LB#, UB# | Control signals | Asynchronous write enable, output enable, and byte-lane selects - no clock dependency or timing constraints beyond tWP/tAW |
| VCC, VSS | Power and ground | Single 3.3 V supply; decoupling required per JEDEC guidelines due to fast edge rates (5 ns rise/fall) |
| NC (pins 13, 31) | No-connect | Not bonded internally; must be left floating or tied to VSS per layout best practice |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-power asynchronous SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IS61WV102416BLL-10MLI | 10 ns faster access (45 ns), higher ICC1 (35 mA typ.), no on-chip ECC, TSOP-48 only | Lacks soft error immunity; requires external watchdog/ECC for safety-critical use | Select when speed outweighs radiation tolerance and board space permits larger TSOP package |
| MT45W8MW16BGX-55 IT:B | Same 55 ns access, 48-ball FBGA, but no on-chip ECC and higher ISB1 (10 µA typ. @ +85°C) | Higher standby current reduces battery life; no FIT rating provided | Choose for cost-sensitive non-safety applications where ECC is handled at MCU level |
Compared with IS61WV102416BLL-10MLI and MT45W8MW16BGX-55 IT:B, RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 uniquely combines on-chip ECC, sub-5 µA +85°C standby, and FBGA packaging - delivering verified soft error resilience without firmware overhead or external components, essential for certified industrial and transportation systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum access time specification for RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0?
The RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 has a maximum access time of 55 ns, measured as address access time (tAA) and read cycle time (tRC) across the full operating temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (2.7 V to 3.6 V). This value is guaranteed by Renesas and applies strictly to the 48-ball FBGA package variant operating in word mode (1M × 16), as confirmed in the R10DS0314EJ0100 datasheet revision 1.00, page 6.
Does RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 support byte-mode (2M × 8) operation?
No, RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 does not support byte-mode operation. As stated in the datasheet (Note 7, page 4), the 48-ball FBGA variant operates exclusively in word mode (1,048,576 × 16-bit), and the BYTE# pin is not implemented - unlike the TSOP-48 variants (e.g., RMLV1616AGSA-5U2). The pinout diagram on page 2 confirms absence of BYTE# in the FBGA top view, and all timing waveforms on pages 8–11 omit BYTE# references for this package.
What is the standby current of RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 at +85°C?
The RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 exhibits a typical standby current (ISB1) of 4.4 µA and a maximum of 8 µA at +85°C, as specified in the DC Characteristics table (page 5) of the R10DS0314EJ0100 datasheet. This low quiescent draw is achieved through Renesas's Advanced LPSRAM process and enables multi-year battery backup in always-on systems - a key differentiator versus standard SRAMs.
How does on-chip ECC in RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 improve system reliability?
The RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 integrates on-chip ECC that achieves a soft error rate of <0.04 FIT/Mb (per JEDEC JESD89A), reducing uncorrectable bit errors by over one order of magnitude compared to conventional SRAMs. This eliminates the need for external error-correction logic or software-based scrubbing, directly enhancing functional safety compliance in IEC 61508 SIL-2 or EN 50129 applications without increasing MCU processing load or memory bandwidth overhead.
What package type and dimensions does RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 use?
RMLV1616AGBG-5U2#KC0 uses a 48-ball fine-pitch ball grid array (FBGA) package with JEITA code P-TFBGA48-7.5x8.5-0.75 - measuring 7.5 mm × 8.5 mm with 0.75 mm ball pitch. This compact, thermally efficient package (Θja = 37.6°C/W) is RoHS-compliant and Pb-free, supporting high-density PCB layouts in space-constrained industrial and transportation electronics where TSOP packages are mechanically unsuitable.
