7142LA20J8

Memory IC Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 7142LA20J8 is a dual-port static random-access memory (SRAM) integrated circuit. It provides a storage capacity of 16 kilobits, organized as 2K words by 8 bits. The device features asynchronous parallel interfaces with a maximum access time and write cycle time of 20 nanoseconds. It operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5 V to 5.5 V and supports a maximum supply current of 200 mA. The component is housed in a 52-pin Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier (PLCC) package designed for surface-mount installation.

Memory IC Feature Summary

• Supports simultaneous independent read and write operations through separate port architectures
• Provides high-speed data transfer capabilities via asynchronous parallel interface logic
• Ensures data retention without requiring external refresh cycles typical of dynamic memory
