CY7C1512-25VC

Product Overview

The CY7C1512-25VC from Cypress Semiconductor Corp is a parallel SRAM IC with a 512 Kbit volatile memory array organized as 64 K x 8. The device uses a synchronous SRAM technology and provides a 25 ns access time with a 25 ns write cycle time for word or page operations. It operates from a 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply and is specified for an ambient temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. The 8-bit parallel organization supports byte-oriented data movement between the memory and a controller or bus interface.

Key Features

• 512 Kbit volatile SRAM memory capacity
• 64 K x 8 memory organization with an 8-bit parallel interface
• 25 ns access time and 25 ns write cycle time
• 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply voltage range
• 0°C to 70°C ambient operating temperature range
• Synchronous SRAM technology

Applications

• Byte-wide temporary data buffering in embedded controllers
• Small memory expansion for systems with an 8-bit parallel bus
• Working storage for microprocessor or DSP subsystems
• Volatile data staging in measurement and control hardware

Design & Procurement Notes

Designers should account for the 5 V supply range and the 25 ns timing behavior when connecting the CY7C1512-25VC to a controller or memory bus. The 64 K x 8 organization supports byte-addressed data paths, while the parallel interface requires matching address, data, and control signals on the host side. Because the memory is volatile, stored data is not retained when supply is removed, so system firmware or hardware must manage reinitialization or reload after a supply interruption. The 0°C to 70°C ambient range is a key operating constraint for board placement and thermal design.
