12 ns access time — timing closure for the bus
The CY7C109B-12VC is a 1 Mbit asynchronous SRAM from Infineon (formerly Cypress), organized as 128K x 8 bits. Its 12 ns access time means the part can deliver data within 12 ns of an address change, which is fast enough for many mid-speed 8-bit or 16-bit bus systems without inserting wait states. The write cycle time matches the read at 12 ns, so back-to-back writes are equally tight. This part runs on a 5 V ±0.5 V supply rail — a legacy voltage that is becoming less common in newer designs but is still standard in many industrial controllers, telecom line cards, and test equipment that maintain a 5 V bus.
The 32-SOJ package (32-BSOJ, 0.400" body width) is a surface-mount, J-bend footprint that was common in the 1990s and 2000s for memory modules.
Infineon lists the CY7C109B-12VC as obsolete.
