12 ns asynchronous SRAM for fast bus glue
The Infineon CY7C1041BNV33L-12VXCT is a 4 Mbit asynchronous SRAM organized as 256K x 16, with a 12 ns access time that lets it keep up with fast microcontrollers, DSPs, or FPGAs without inserting wait states on a 50–66 MHz bus. The 44-pin SOJ package (0.400" body width) is a common footprint for 256K x 16 SRAMs, making it a candidate for board-level repair or retrofit into existing sockets.
What the 12 ns access time means for your bus
For a 66 MHz bus with a 15 ns clock period, this SRAM leaves about 3 ns of margin after address setup and hold — tight but workable with good PCB layout. If your system runs above 66 MHz or has long trace delays, you may need a pipelined or synchronous SRAM instead.
For those, look for the -12VXI variant (industrial temp, also obsolete) or a current-production industrial-grade part.
