12 ns asynchronous SRAM for fast cache and buffer memory
The Renesas 71V016SA12BFGI is a 1Mbit asynchronous SRAM organized as 64K x 16 bits. Its 12 ns access time means the memory can complete a read or write cycle within a single 12 ns. The supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V covers the standard 3.3V logic rail with margin, so it drops into a 3.3V bus without a level translator. The parallel interface is straightforward — no SDRAM refresh overhead, no DDR timing complexity. Operating temperature from -40°C to 85°C qualifies the part for industrial environments: outdoor telecom cabinets, factory-floor controllers, and engine-bay electronics where commercial-grade parts would drift or fail.
Lifecycle and sourcing — active production, no LTB pressure
The 71V016SA12BFGI is listed as Active with no announced end-of-life.
