Product details
Overview
IDT7008L20PFI from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) 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 semaphore/arbitration logic for inter-processor communication in real-time embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the IDT7008L20PFI datasheet, IDT7008L20PFI pinout, IDT7008L20PFI application, or IDT7008L20PFI equivalent, key selection criteria include BUSY/INT flag timing, M/S master/slave configuration, dual CE control per port, low-power standby (1 mW typ.), and TQFP-100 packaging for space-constrained industrial controllers.
Technical Context
The IDT7008L20PFI implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with separate address, data, and control buses for left (L) and right (R) ports-enabling simultaneous read/write to same memory location. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves contention via BUSY flag assertion and supports hardware semaphore signaling using A0–A2 addressing of eight shared flags.
It operates in Master/Slave cascading mode: M/S = VIH configures BUSYL/BUSYR as push-pull outputs for arbitration; M/S = VIL configures them as inputs to accept BUSY from master. Interrupts are triggered by writes to FFFEH (INTL) or FFFFH (INTR), with tINS/tINR ≤20 ns.

Pinout & Package
Package: 100-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP), body size 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm, lead pitch 0.5 mm, RoHS-compliant green variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A15L | Left port address inputs | 16-bit address bus for left-side memory access; decoded independently from right port |
| A0R–A15R | Right port address inputs | 16-bit address bus for right-side memory access; no timing dependency on left port |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; tri-stated when OEL = VIH or CE0L/CE1L = VIH |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; tri-stated when OER = VIH or CE0R/CE1R = VIH |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control per port | Active-low write enable; drives I/O pins as outputs during write, inputs during read |
| OEL / OER | Output enable per port | Controls output drivers only; does not affect internal memory operation or CE power-down |
| CE0L, CE1L / CE0R, CE1R | Dual chip enables per port | Enable depth expansion without external logic; ISB1/ISB2/ISB3 modes defined by CE logic levels |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore enable | High = RAM access; Low = semaphore register access (A0–A2 select one of eight flags) |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags | Open-drain compatible push-pull outputs; asserted by opposite port write to FFFEH/FFFFH |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy arbitration signals | Push-pull outputs (Master) or inputs (Slave); inhibit writes during contention; tBDD ≤20 ns |
| M/S | Master/Slave select | VIH = Master (BUSY outputs); VIL = Slave (BUSY inputs); enables multi-device 16-bit+ systems |
| VCC / GND | Power and ground | All VCC pins must be connected; all GND pins must be connected - no floating supplies |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

| Industrial-grade timing assurance | tAA/tACE/tAOE ≤20 ns max across −40°C to +85°C - validated for deterministic real-time response |
| Non-tri-state BUSY/INT outputs | Push-pull (not open-drain) BUSYL/BUSYR/INTL/INTR - eliminates external pull-ups and reduces BOM count |
Applications

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 | 5V-only, 20 ns access, 64K×16 organization, 100-pin TQFP - wider data bus but no M/S cascading support | Requires external logic for 16-bit+ expansion; lacks integrated semaphore arbitration | Select when 16-bit native word width is required and arbitration is handled in firmware |
| Renesas R1EX24064ASAS-20 | 3.3V core, 20 ns access, 64K×8, 100-pin TQFP - lower voltage, higher ICC active current (220 mA vs. 180 mA) | Needs level shifters for 5V systems; no BUSY/INT hardware arbitration logic | Select for mixed-voltage designs where power efficiency outweighs need for hardware arbitration |
Compared with CY7C028V-20AC and R1EX24064ASAS-20, the IDT7008L20PFI uniquely delivers 5V-compatible dual-port operation with on-chip M/S cascading, semaphore registers, and push-pull BUSY/INT - reducing PCB area, BOM count, and firmware complexity in tightly coupled multi-processor systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the IDT7008L20PFI?
The IDT7008L20PFI is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all AC and DC electrical parameters, including 20 ns access time, BUSY arbitration timing, and standby current (ISB3 = 0.2 mA typ.). The device uses CMOS process technology optimized for thermal stability in uncontrolled environments.
How does the M/S pin configure BUSY behavior in the IDT7008L20PFI?
In the IDT7008L20PFI, the M/S pin determines BUSY signal directionality: when M/S = VIH, BUSYL and BUSYR function as push-pull outputs indicating local port contention; when M/S = VIL, they become inputs accepting BUSY assertions from a master device. This enables seamless cascading without external logic - critical for 16-bit+ memory expansion.
What is the purpose of the SEML and SEMR pins on the IDT7008L20PFI?
The SEML and SEMR pins on the IDT7008L20PFI select between RAM access (SEM = VIH) and semaphore register access (SEM = VIL). When SEM is low, A0–A2 address one of eight hardware semaphore flags, and I/O0 writes the flag value while all I/O pins (I/O0–I/O7) read it back - enabling atomic resource locking without CPU involvement.
Can the IDT7008L20PFI operate with only one port enabled?
Yes - the IDT7008L20PFI supports single-port operation. When CE0L/CE1L = VIH (left port deselected) and CE0R/CE1R = VIL (right port enabled), the device functions as a standard 64K×8 SRAM with full 20 ns access time on the right port. Standby current drops to ISB4 = 80 mA typ. (TTL inputs) or 80 mA typ. (CMOS inputs), preserving power efficiency.
What interrupt addresses trigger INTL and INTR in the IDT7008L20PFI?
In the IDT7008L20PFI, writing to address FFFEH with CER = R/WR = VIL asserts INTL (left port interrupt), and writing to FFFFH with CEL = R/WL = VIL asserts INTR (right port interrupt). Clearing is symmetric: reading FFFEH with CEL = OEL = VIL clears INTL; reading FFFFH with CER = OER = VIL clears INTR - all with tINS/tINR ≤20 ns.
