Functional Description
■
Automatic power-down when deselected
■
Complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) for
optimum speed/power
■
High speed
❐ tAA = 20 ns
The CY7C168A is a high-performance CMOS static RAM
organized as 4096 by 4-bits. Easy memory expansion is
provided by an active LOW chip enable (CE) and three-state
drivers. The CY7C168A has an automatic power-down feature,
reducing the power consumption by 77% when deselected.
Writing to the device is accomplished when the chip select (CE)
and write enable (WE) inputs are both LOW. Data on the four
data input/output pins (I/O0 through I/O3) is written into the
memory location specified on the address pins (A0 through A11).
■
Low active power
❐ 495 mW
■
Low standby power
❐ 110 mW
■
TTL-compatible inputs and outputs
■
VIH of 2.2 V
Reading the device is accomplished by taking the chip enable
(CE) LOW, while write enable (WE) remains HIGH. Under these
conditions, the contents of the location specified on the address
pins will appear on the four data input/output pins (I/O0 through
I/O3).
■
Capable of withstanding greater than 2001 V electrostatic
discharge
The input/output pins remain in a high-impedance state when
chip enable (CE) is HIGH or write enable (WE) is LOW.
A die coat is used to insure alpha immunity.

4. Test conditions assume signal transition times of 5 ns or less, timing reference levels of 1.5 V, input pulse levels of 0 to 3.0 V, and output loading of the specified
IOL/IOH and 30 pF load capacitance.
5. At any given temperature and voltage condition, tHZ is less than tLZ for all devices. Transition is measured 500 mV from steady state voltage with specified loading in part (b)
of AC Test Loads and Waveforms.
6. tHZCE and tHZWE are tested with CL = 5 pF as in part (a) of Test Loads and Waveforms. Transition is measured 500 mV from steady state voltage.
7. The internal write time of the memory is defined by the overlap of CE LOW and WE LOW. Both signal must be LOW to initiate a write and either signal can terminate a
write by going high. The data input set-up and hold timing should be referenced to the rising edge of the signal that terminates the write.
8. WE is HIGH for read cycle.
9. Device is continuously selected, CE = VIL.

10. WE is HIGH for read cycle.
11. Address valid prior to or coincident with CE transition LOW.
12. The internal write time of the memory is defined by the overlap of CE LOW and WE LOW. Both signal must be LOW to initiate a write and either signal can terminate a
write by going high. The data input set-up and hold timing should be referenced to the rising edge of the signal that terminates the write.
13. If CE goes HIGH simultaneously with WE HIGH, the output remains in a high-impedance state.
