12 ns async SRAM — 512Kbit in a 44-SOJ footprint
The Infineon CY7C1020BN-12VXCT is a 512Kbit asynchronous SRAM organised as 32K x 16 bits, with a 12 ns access time that matches fast bus cycles without wait states in 5V logic systems. The 44-SOJ (BSOJ) package with J-leads is a surface-mount footprint that was common on mid-1990s through 2000s designs — still findable on repair or retrofit BOMs.
Infineon (formerly Cypress Semiconductor) lists the CY7C1020BN-12VXCT as Obsolete. No last-time-buy window remains open from the factory.
5V supply, commercial temperature — deployment context
Not rated for automotive, outdoor, or extended-temperature industrial use.
Package and mounting — 44-SOJ on Tape & Reel
The 44-SOJ (Small Outline J-lead) package has a 0.400-inch (10.16 mm) body width. Surface-mount only — no through-hole variant. The J-lead form factor gives a smaller footprint than a SOIC but requires a specific solder-paste stencil aperture for reliable wetting.
