Product details
Overview
7008L20PFGI8 from IDT (now Renesas) is a high-speed 64K × 8 true dual-port static RAM with independent left/right ports, 20 ns max access time (industrial grade), TTL-compatible 5V ±10% supply, and integrated BUSY arbitration logic for master/slave configurations. It enables simultaneous read/write access to the same memory location and supports 16-bit-or-wider bus expansion in real-time control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 7008L20PFGI8 datasheet, 7008L20PFGI8 pinout, 7008L20PFGI8 application, or 7008L20PFGI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C), dual chip-enable architecture for depth expansion, on-chip semaphore signaling, and push-pull BUSY/INT outputs with no external logic required.
Technical Context
The 7008L20PFGI8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port operation with separate address, control, and I/O buses per port. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves contention via BUSY flag assertion based on address match or CE timing, with tAPS = 5 ns priority setup time ensuring deterministic port-to-port synchronization.
It integrates full hardware semaphore support across eight flags (addressed by A0–A2), accessed via dedicated SEM pins and controlled by CE = VIH/SEM = VIL, enabling lock-free inter-processor communication. The device uses CMOS process technology and features automatic power-down via CE0/CE1, achieving 1 mW typical standby power in low-power mode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 64K × 8 bits (512 Kbit), two independent addressable ports |
| Access Time (max) | 20 ns - guarantees worst-case read latency for real-time deterministic response |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with legacy 5V TTL logic families without level shifting |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded environments including motor drives and PLCs |

| Bus Width Expansion | Master/Slave (M/S) pin enables seamless 16-bit+ data bus stacking without glue logic |
| BUSY Logic Type | Push-pull (totem-pole), non-tri-state - eliminates need for external pull-ups in arbitration signaling |
Pinout & Package
7008L20PFGI8 is packaged in a 100-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flatpack) with 0.5 mm pitch, body size ≈14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm. All VCC and GND pins must be connected per datasheet requirements; NC pins are no-connect and must remain unconnected.

| SEML / SEMR | Left/Right Semaphore Enable | Active-low signal selecting semaphore register access (A0–A2) instead of memory array |
| INTL / INTR | Left/Right Interrupt Flag Output | Open-drain compatible push-pull output; asserted when opposite port writes to FFFE/FFFF |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Left/Right Busy Flag | Push-pull output (Master) or input (Slave); blocks write if asserted, resolving port contention |
| M/S | Master/Slave Select | VIH configures as Master (BUSY outputs), VIL configures as Slave (BUSY inputs); enables cascading |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply / Ground | Multiple distributed VCC/GND pins ensure stable core voltage and low-noise operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 7008L20PFGI8?
The 7008L20PFGI8 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is validated per the datasheet's DC electrical characteristics table under "Recommended DC Operating Conditions" and confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings section. The 7008L20PFGI8 maintains full functionality-including 20 ns access time and BUSY arbitration-across this entire range.
Does the 7008L20PFGI8 support true simultaneous read/write to the same memory address?
Yes, the 7008L20PFGI8 implements true dual-ported memory cells that allow independent, asynchronous reads or writes to the same address location from left and right ports. This capability is explicitly stated in the "Features" section and verified in the functional block diagram and truth tables. No arbitration delay or data corruption occurs during such concurrent access.
How does the M/S pin configure master versus slave operation in the 7008L20PFGI8?
When M/S = VIH, the 7008L20PFGI8 operates as a Master: BUSYL and BUSYR become push-pull outputs asserting busy status during contention. When M/S = VIL, it operates as a Slave: BUSYL and BUSYR become inputs that inhibit writes when driven low by a Master. This behavior is defined in Note 1 of the Functional Block Diagram and Truth Table V.
What are the power consumption characteristics of the 7008L20PFGI8 in standby mode?
The 7008L20PFGI8 achieves 0.2 mA typical full-standby current (ISB3) when both ports are disabled with CMOS-level inputs (CE > VCC − 0.2 V). This value is specified in Table 10a for the "L" speed grade under industrial conditions. Active current is 180 mA typical (ICC) at fMAX, confirming its low-power design for always-on industrial systems.
Can the 7008L20PFGI8 be used without external pull-up resistors on BUSY and INT pins?
Yes-the 7008L20PFGI8 features push-pull (totem-pole) outputs for BUSYL, BUSYR, INTL, and INTR, as confirmed in Note 2 of the Features section and the Pin Names table. These outputs drive high/low actively and do not require external pull-up resistors, simplifying board design and improving noise immunity compared to open-drain alternatives.
