Overview

The AS6C4016-55ZIN is a 4Mbit asynchronous low-power CMOS static RAM organized as 256K x 16 bits. It operates over a wide voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V, making it compatible with both legacy 5V systems and modern low-power 3.3V architectures. The device features very low standby current and is designed for applications requiring high reliability and simple parallel interfacing without the need for a clock.

Why Choose This Part

This SRAM offers a broad supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and fully static operation, eliminating the need for refresh cycles. It includes data byte control for flexible 8-bit or 16-bit access and features tri-state outputs for easy bus integration. The low-power consumption profile, specifically the 4uA standby current, is ideal for power-sensitive designs.

Applications

Industrial Control Systems
Used as external scratchpad memory for PLCs and industrial controllers operating in harsh temperature environments from -40C to 85C.
Embedded Computing
Provides fast 55ns access time for code execution or data buffering in 16-bit microcontroller and microprocessor systems.
Battery-Powered Instrumentation
Leverages 4uA typical standby current and 1.5V minimum data retention voltage to extend battery life in portable devices.
Communication Buffers
Acts as a high-speed buffer for networking equipment and protocol converters requiring asynchronous parallel access.

Getting Started

To interface this SRAM, connect the 18-bit address bus and 16-bit data bus to your MCU's external memory interface (EMC/EBI). Ensure the Byte High Enable (BHE) and Byte Low Enable (BLE) pins are driven correctly for the desired word width. Since it is a parallel device, no software drivers or initialization sequences are required; simply perform standard memory-mapped read/write operations.
