Product details
Overview
7009L20PFI from IDT is a high-speed 128K × 8 true dual-ported static RAM with independent left/right ports, 20 ns max access time (industrial grade), TTL-compatible 5 V ±10% supply, and integrated hardware semaphore/INT/BUSY arbitration logic - used in real-time multi-processor interconnects requiring concurrent memory access without software overhead.
For engineers reviewing the 7009L20PFI datasheet, 7009L20PFI pinout, 7009L20PFI application, or 7009L20PFI equivalent, this page delivers verified timing specs (tAA = 20 ns, tRC = 20 ns), dual-port arbitration behavior (M/S-selectable master/slave BUSY mode), industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), and confirmed TQFP-100 package mapping - all extracted from IDT's official 7009L datasheet Rev. Jan.12.22.
Technical Context
The 7009L20PFI implements fully asynchronous dual-port operation: each port (left/right) has dedicated address (A0L–A16L / A0R–A16R), data (I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R), and control lines (CE0/CE1, R/W, OE, SEM, INT, BUSY). Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves simultaneous access via hardware BUSY flag assertion (tBAA ≤ 20 ns) and priority setup (tAPS = 5 ns), eliminating need for external glue logic in master/slave cascaded configurations.
It integrates eight dedicated semaphore latches (addressed by A0–A2) accessible via SEM = VIL, enabling token-passing resource locking between processors; interrupt flags (INTL/INTR) are triggered by writes to fixed addresses (1FFFEh/1FFFFh), with tINS/tINR ≤ 20 ns. All I/Os are TTL-compatible push-pull, no pull-ups required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 128K × 8 bits (1,048,576 total bits), two independent address/data/control ports |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns max - guarantees valid read data within 20 ns of address or enable assertion, critical for real-time processor coherency |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 20 ns max - defines minimum interval between successive reads on same port, enabling 50 MHz sustained throughput |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating, validated per IDT spec |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - single TTL-compatible rail; all VCC pins must be connected (per datasheet Note 1) |
| Package | 100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm body) - surface-mount, RoHS-compliant, thermal pad optional |
| Power Consumption | Active: 200 mA typ (1 W @ 5 V); Full standby: 0.2 mA typ - low-power mode activated by CMOS-level CE deassertion |
Pinout & Package
7009L20PFI is housed in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch, 14 mm × 14 mm body, and exposed thermal pad (optional). Pin 1 is top-left corner (marked dot), numbering proceeds counterclockwise. GND and VCC pins are distributed across all four sides for optimal noise suppression and power integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CE0L, CE1L / CE0R, CE1R | Dual-port chip enables (left/right) | Independent TTL/CMOS-selectable enables per port; CE1 enables depth expansion without external logic |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | Active-low write strobe; controls direction of data flow on respective I/O bus |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Tri-states I/O pins when deasserted; allows bus sharing in multi-device systems |
| A0L–A16L / A0R–A16R | Address inputs (left/right) | 17-bit addressing per port supports full 128K space; no shared address lines |
| I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R | Bidirectional data (left/right) | 8-bit parallel data path per port; true dual-port cells allow simultaneous read of same location |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore enable (left/right) | Activates 8-bit semaphore latch bank (A0–A2 addressed) when CE = VIH and SEM = VIL |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flag outputs (left/right) | Push-pull outputs asserted on write to 1FFFEh (INTL) or 1FFFFh (INTR); require no external pull-ups |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy flag (input/output, M/S-configurable) | When M/S = VIH: output indicating port contention; when M/S = VIL: input that inhibits writes on asserted side |
| M/S | Master/Slave select | VIH configures device as master (BUSY outputs); VIL configures as slave (BUSY inputs); determines arbitration role in cascaded arrays |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True dual-port memory cells | Enables simultaneous reads from identical memory locations on both ports - eliminates read collision risk in lock-free data exchange |
| Hardware semaphore logic | Eight dedicated latches (A0–A2) accessed via SEM = VIL; enables atomic token-passing without CPU intervention or wait states |
| Configurable BUSY arbitration | M/S pin selects master (push-pull BUSY output) or slave (BUSY input); supports scalable width-expanded arrays with single-master BUSY distribution |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | No clock required; left/right ports operate independently with full timing isolation - no performance penalty from cross-port activity |
| Low-power standby modes | Four distinct standby states (ISB1–ISB4) down to 0.2 mA typ; controlled by CE/SEM levels - ideal for burst-mode embedded systems |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1370D-200BAXI | 128K × 18, 200 MHz QDR interface, 1.8 V core / 3.3 V I/O, 165-pin FBGA | Targets high-bandwidth networking buffers; lacks native semaphore/BUSY logic; requires external arbitration | Choose for wider data bus and DDR throughput; avoid if hardware semaphore or 5 V compatibility is required. |
| AS7C3128-20JIN | 128K × 8, 20 ns, 3.3 V only, 100-pin TQFP, no dual-port arbitration logic | Single-port SRAM; no INT/BUSY/SEM pins; requires external logic for multi-CPU sharing | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-concurrent-access designs; not suitable as drop-in replacement for 7009L20PFI's dual-port features. |
Compared with CY7C1370D-200BAXI and AS7C3128-20JIN, the 7009L20PFI uniquely delivers integrated hardware arbitration (BUSY/SEM/INT), 5 V TTL compatibility, and true dual-port concurrency in a pin-compatible 100-pin TQFP - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial and avionics systems where software-light, deterministic inter-processor communication is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range certified for the 7009L20PFI?
The 7009L20PFI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as explicitly specified in IDT's datasheet (Table 3, "Recommended DC Operating Conditions"). This rating applies to the 7009L20 speed grade and is validated across all electrical parameters including tAA = 20 ns max and ISB3 = 0.2 mA typ standby current.
Does the 7009L20PFI support true simultaneous read operations from both ports to the same memory address?
Yes, the 7009L20PFI implements true dual-port memory cells that permit simultaneous reads from identical addresses on left and right ports without conflict or timing penalty. This capability is fundamental to its architecture and is confirmed in the Functional Description section and Truth Table II of the IDT 7009L datasheet.
How does the M/S pin affect BUSY pin functionality on the 7009L20PFI?
When M/S = VIH, the 7009L20PFI operates as a master: BUSYL and BUSYR are push-pull outputs asserting during port contention (tBAA ≤ 20 ns). When M/S = VIL, it operates as a slave: BUSYL and BUSYR become inputs that internally inhibit writes when driven low - enabling scalable width-expansion with one master distributing BUSY signals.
What are the exact memory addresses used for interrupt flag generation in the 7009L20PFI?
The 7009L20PFI uses fixed addresses for interrupt triggering: writing to 1FFFEh (hex) on the right port asserts INTL, while writing to 1FFFFh (hex) on the left port asserts INTR. These addresses are defined in Truth Table IV and Functional Description sections of the IDT datasheet, and are hardwired - not programmable.
Is external pull-up resistance required on the INTL, INTR, BUSYL, or BUSYR pins of the 7009L20PFI?
No. The 7009L20PFI's INTL, INTR, BUSYL, and BUSYR pins are push-pull (totem-pole) outputs per datasheet Notes 1 and 2, and Figure 2. They drive actively high/low without requiring external pull-up resistors - a key design advantage over open-drain alternatives.
