12 ns access — bus timing margin
The CY7C1021BN-12VXC: The 12 ns access time means the SRAM delivers data within 12 ns of the address being valid. The 64 K × 16 organization matches 16-bit MCUs and DSPs. Write cycle time matches read access at 12 ns.
This part is obsolete per Cypress. Sourcing is through surplus and broker channels.
5 V supply — legacy system consideration
The 44-SOJ package is a surface-mount, J-bend lead form — it reflows with standard profiles but the 0.400" body width is wider than a typical SOIC, so check the board footprint clearance.
