DESCRIPTION
The IDT71V256SA is a 262,144-bit high-speed static RAM
organized as 32K x 8. It is fabricated using IDT’s high-
performance, high-reliability CMOS technology.
The IDT71V256SA has outstanding low power character-
istics while at the same time maintaining very high perfor-
mance. Address access times of as fast as10 ns are ideal for
3.3V secondary cache in 3.3V desktop designs.
When power management logic puts the IDT71V256SA in
standby mode, its very low power characteristics contribute to
extended battery life. By taking
CS
HIGH, the SRAM will
automatically go to a low power standby mode and will remain
in standby as long as
CS
remains HIGH. Furthermore, under
full standby mode (
CS
at CMOS level, f=0), power consump-
tion is guaranteed to always be less than 6.6mW and typically
will be much smaller.
The IDT71V256SA is packaged in 28-pin 300 mil SOJ, 28-
pin 300 mil plastic DIP, and 28-pin 300 mil TSOP Type I
packaging.

1. Stresses greater than those listed under ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM
RATINGS may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other
conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of this
specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect reliability.

NOTES:
1.
WE
or
CS
must be HIGH during all address transitions.
2. A write occurs during the overlap of a LOW
CS
and a LOW
WE
.
3. t
WR
is measured from the earlier of
CS
or
WE
going HIGH to the end of the write cycle.
4. During this period, I/O pins are in the output state so that the input signals must not be applied.
5. If the
CS
LOW transition occurs simultaneously with or after the
WE
LOW transition, the outputs remain in a high-impedance state.
6. Transition is measured
±200mV
from steady state.
7. If
OE
is LOW during a
WE
controlled write cycle, the write pulse width must be the larger of t
WP
or (t
WHZ
+ t
DW
) to allow the I/O drivers to turn off and data
to be placed on the bus for the required t
DW
. If
OE
is HIGH during a
WE
controlled write cycle, this requirement does not apply and the write pulse can
be as short as the spectified t
WP.
