IDT71256SA20Y

IDT71256SA20Y is a static RAM (SRAM) from Integrated Device Technology. It stores 256 kilobits, organized as 32K × 8, and typically runs at 20 ns. Supply voltage is usually 5 V (TTL-compatible I/O). The device comes in a 28-pin package (DIP or SOIC) with address inputs A0–A14, data I/O DQ0–DQ7, and control pins CE#, OE#, WE# (all active-low).
Operation is asynchronous:
- Read: CE# = OE# = low, data appears on DQ after ~20 ns.
- Write: CE# = WE# = low with valid address/data, data is stored during the write window.
Common uses include fast local RAM for microprocessors, caches, buffers, and test equipment. The “SA20Y” suffix typically denotes a speed grade of 20 ns and packaging/temperature options; check the exact datasheet for voltage, temperature range, and pinout for your specific package.
