Memory IC Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix 'SCT' against official Cypress documentation, as available records primarily list variants such as '35VC' or '15VCR'. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as some CY7C128A series parts are noted as non-compliant. Check current product lifecycle status, as many Cypress SRAMs are discontinued. Ensure the specific package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements before ordering.

Memory IC Selection Notes

Select this part when a 16K-bit asynchronous SRAM with 20 ns speed is required. Compare against other CY7C128A variants like the 35ns version if timing constraints allow. Consider pin-compatible alternatives from the same family if different speeds or packages are needed. Verify voltage compatibility with the 4.5V to 5.5V operating range.

Memory IC Part Context

The CY7C128A belongs to Cypress's standard SRAM portfolio, designed for general-purpose memory applications. This series typically offers CMOS performance with high reliability. The 2Kx8 organization makes it suitable for small buffer or code storage tasks in microcontroller-based designs.
