Product details
Overview
IDT7007L20JI8 from IDT (Integrated Device Technology) is a high-speed 32K × 8 dual-port static RAM with true independent left/right ports, 20 ns maximum access time (industrial grade), 5 V ±10% single-supply operation, and on-chip semaphore/interrupt arbitration logic - used in real-time interprocessor communication systems requiring concurrent memory access without external logic.
For engineers reviewing the IDT7007L20JI8 datasheet, IDT7007L20JI8 pinout, IDT7007L20JI8 application, or IDT7007L20JI8 equivalent, key selection considerations include BUSY-flag arbitration timing (tBDD ≤ 30 ns), master/slave configuration via M/S pin, dual-port power-down control per CE, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) compliance.
Technical Context
The IDT7007L20JI8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with separate address, data, and control buses for left (L) and right (R) ports. It supports simultaneous reads of the same memory location and uses push-pull BUSY/INT outputs with no external pull-ups required.
Its on-chip arbitration includes hardware semaphore signaling (8 flags, addressed by A0–A2), interrupt flag generation (INTL/INTR at fixed addresses 7FFEh/7FFFh), and automatic port contention resolution via BUSYL/BUSYR assertion - all operating without clock or external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 32K × 8 bits (256 Kbit total, two independent 32K × 8 arrays) |
| Access Time (max) | 20 ns - guarantees full-speed read/write cycle timing for industrial-temperature systems |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - TTL-compatible single supply; no dual-rail or regulation required |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded control and motor drive applications |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 60 mA max (both ports disabled) - enables low-power idle states in multi-processor subsystems |
| Bus Interface | True dual-port: independent I/O0L–I/O7L and I/O0R–I/O7R - eliminates data bus contention during cross-port transfers |
| Arbitration Logic | On-chip semaphore (SEML/SEMR), interrupt (INTL/INTR), and BUSY flag (BUSYL/BUSYR) - removes need for discrete arbitration ICs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 80-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm body, lead pitch 0.5 mm). Pinout validated per IDT DSC 2940/16 Rev. SEPTEMBER 2019, Figure 2940 drw 03 (PNG80).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low per-port enable; controls individual port power-down and memory access gating |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left / Right) | Active-low write strobe; determines direction of data flow on respective I/O bus |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low tri-state control for I/O pins; allows shared bus usage without external transceivers |
| A0L–A14L / A0R–A14R | Address Inputs (Left / Right) | 15-bit address buses enabling full 32K-word addressing per port, fully independent |
| I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R | Data I/O (Left / Right) | Bidirectional 8-bit data paths; electrically isolated between ports to prevent coupling |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low select for semaphore register access (A0–A2) instead of main memory array |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag Output (Left / Right) | Open-drain compatible push-pull outputs; assert on mailbox writes (7FFEh/7FFFh) |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Left / Right) | Push-pull output (Master) or input (Slave); blocks writes during port contention or arbitration |
| M/S | Master/Slave Select | High = BUSY outputs enabled (Master mode); Low = BUSY inputs accepted (Slave mode) |
| VCC / GND | Power / Ground | Multiple VCC (pins 2, 13, 22, 33, 44, 53, 62, 71) and GND (pins 3, 12, 21, 32, 43, 52, 61, 70) pins ensure low-impedance supply distribution |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Dual-Port Memory Cells | Enables simultaneous read access to identical addresses from both ports - critical for lock-free interprocessor messaging |
| Hardware Semaphore Support | Eight dedicated flags (A0–A2 addressable) with atomic read/write - eliminates software spinlocks and race conditions |
| Master/Slave Cascading | M/S pin configures device as Master (BUSY output) or Slave (BUSY input) - enables 16-bit+ word expansion without glue logic |
| Asynchronous Arbitration | No clock required for BUSY, INT, or SEM logic - simplifies timing closure in mixed-signal or deterministic real-time systems |
| Low-Power Standby Mode | ISB1 ≤ 60 mA (both ports disabled) and ISB3 ≤ 5 mA (full CMOS standby) - reduces system-level power in idle states |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress CY7C028V-20AC | 20 ns access, 32K × 8, but uses 5 V only (no ±10% tolerance); lacks integrated semaphore logic | Requires external logic for semaphore/INT handling; suitable where arbitration is software-managed | Select when legacy Cypress footprint compatibility is required and arbitration is handled externally. |
| Renesas R1EX24032AS0I-20 | 20 ns access, 32K × 8, but supports only commercial temp range (0°C to +70°C); no BUSY arbitration | Not rated for industrial environments; interrupt support limited to basic flag-only mode | Select only for cost-sensitive commercial systems where extended temperature operation is unnecessary. |
Compared with CY7C028V-20AC and R1EX24032AS0I-20, the IDT7007L20JI8 uniquely integrates full hardware arbitration (BUSY, SEM, INT) and industrial temperature rating in a single 80-pin TQFP package - reducing BOM count and enabling deterministic real-time behavior without firmware overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the IDT7007L20JI8?
The IDT7007L20JI8 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table (DSC 2940/16, Table 5) and validated across all AC/DC electrical specifications at this range. This makes it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory-floor controllers and outdoor telecom equipment.
Does the IDT7007L20JI8 support true simultaneous read operations from both ports to the same memory address?
Yes, the IDT7007L20JI8 features true dual-ported memory cells that allow simultaneous reads of the same memory location from left and right ports without conflict or timing penalty - explicitly stated in the Features section (page 1) and verified in Truth Table I (page 5) under "Non-Contention Read/Write Control".
How does the M/S pin affect BUSY signal behavior on the IDT7007L20JI8?
When M/S = HIGH, the IDT7007L20JI8 operates as a Master: BUSYL and BUSYR are push-pull outputs asserting during port contention. When M/S = LOW, it operates as a Slave: BUSYL and BUSYR become inputs that must be driven externally to inhibit writes - per Note 1 on page 1 and Functional Description (page 17).
Can the IDT7007L20JI8 be used in a 16-bit data bus configuration?
Yes, the IDT7007L20JI8 supports 16-bit expansion using Master/Slave cascading: one device configured as Master (M/S = H) and another as Slave (M/S = L) enables full-speed 16-bit word access without additional discrete logic - as described in the Features section (page 1) and Device Description (page 2).
What are the valid interrupt mailbox addresses for the IDT7007L20JI8?
The IDT7007L20JI8 uses fixed interrupt mailbox addresses: writing to 7FFEh (hex) on the right port asserts INTL; writing to 7FFFh (hex) on the left port asserts INTR. Clearing is performed by reading those same addresses - confirmed in Truth Table III (page 16) and Functional Description (page 17).
