7142LA5J8

Memory IC Overview

The Renesas Electronics Corporation 7142LA5J8 is a 16K-bit (2K x 8) dual-port static random-access memory (SRAM) IC. It features asynchronous parallel interface operation with a typical access time of 5 nanoseconds. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 4.5V to 5.5V and supports industrial temperature ranges from -40°C to +85°C. It is housed in a 52-lead Plastic Leadless Chip Carrier (PLCC) surface-mount package, designed for high-speed data buffering and storage applications requiring independent port access.
