Product details
Overview
7025L20JI from IDT is a high-speed 8K × 16 (128 Kbit) true dual-port static RAM with independent asynchronous left/right ports, 20 ns maximum read cycle time, 1 µA typical standby current in L-version, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), used in real-time inter-processor communication and shared-memory embedded systems.
For engineers reviewing the 7025L20JI datasheet, 7025L20JI pinout, 7025L20JI application, or 7025L20JI equivalent, this page delivers verified timing specs, validated 84-pin PGA package mapping, confirmed semaphore arbitration behavior, and two field-deployed alternative parts for memory coherency designs requiring simultaneous port access.
Technical Context
The 7025L20JI implements full hardware port arbitration with dedicated BUSY flag signaling and on-chip semaphore logic supporting eight independent flags addressed via A0–A2. Its dual-port architecture permits concurrent read/write operations to the same memory location only when BUSY protocol is observed - no internal contention resolution without external coordination.
It operates fully asynchronously per port, supports separate upper-byte (UB/UBR) and lower-byte (LB/LBR) enables for multiplexed bus compatibility, and includes battery backup capability retaining data at VCC = 2.0 V. The L-version reduces standby power to 1 mW (typ.) versus 5 mW in S-version, critical for low-power hold modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 8K × 16 bits (128 Kbit), true dual-port SRAM with independent address/data/control per port |
| Access Time (tRC) | 20 ns max - defines minimum read cycle interval for guaranteed valid data at outputs |
| Standby Current (ISB3) | 0.2 mA typ. - achieved when both ports disabled with CMOS-level inputs, enabling ultra-low-power retention |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - maintains stored data during brown-out or backup battery operation |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - TTL-compatible single 5 V ±10% rail, no auxiliary supplies required |
| Package | 84-pin ceramic PGA (PLG84) - hermetically sealed, MIL-PRF-38535 QML-compliant for reliability-critical use |
Pinout & Package
7025L20JI is housed in an 84-pin ceramic Pin Grid Array (PLG84) package with 1.15″ × 1.15″ footprint and 0.17″ height, featuring dual-row staggered pins, VCC/GND distributed across multiple pins for noise immunity, and dedicated BUSY/INT/SEM control lines per port.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low enable per port; deassertion places respective I/Os in high-Z and enters low-power mode |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left / Right) | Active-low write enable; high = read, low = write - determines direction of data flow per port |
| UBL / UBR, LBL / LBR | Upper/Lower Byte Select | Enable byte-level granularity: Ux selects I/O8–I/O15, Lx selects I/O0–I/O7 - essential for 8-bit bus interfacing |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore Enable | Active-low signal enabling access to eight on-chip semaphore flags via I/O0–I/O15 and A0–A2 addressing |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Master Output / Slave Input) | When M/S = H, BUSY is output indicating port contention; when M/S = L, BUSY is input for slave synchronization |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag | Open-drain push-pull output asserting interrupt on semaphore or write completion - requires external pull-up |
| A0L–A12L / A0R–A12R | Address Inputs (13-bit) | Directly select one of 8K (8192) memory locations per port; no internal address latching |
| I/O0L–I/O15L / I/O0R–I/O15R | Bidirectional Data Bus (16-bit) | True bidirectional interface - direction controlled by R/Wx and OE states; no tri-state conflicts between ports |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True dual-port cell architecture | Enables simultaneous reads from same address on both ports without arbitration delay or data corruption |
| On-chip semaphore logic | Eight hardware semaphore flags accessible via A0–A2 and I/O0–I/O15 eliminate need for external locking logic |
| Master/Slave cascading support | M/S pin configures BUSY as output (master) or input (slave), enabling error-free 32-bit+ word expansion without glue logic |
| Full asynchronous operation | No clock required - each port operates independently with timing governed solely by CE/R/W/OE setup/hold constraints |
| Battery backup data retention | Maintains valid data at 2.0 V supply, enabling seamless transition to backup power during main rail failure |
| Industrial-grade packaging | Ceramic 84-pin PGA meets MIL-PRF-38535 QML requirements for thermal stability and long-term reliability |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C136-20JC | 8K × 16, 20 ns, 5 V, 84-pin PLCC - higher ISB (5 mA typ.), no battery retention, commercial temp only | Lacks data retention below 4.5 V; unsuitable for brown-out resilience or extended backup operation | Select when cost-sensitive industrial designs do not require sub-2 V hold or MIL-spec packaging |
| AS7C38098B-20JIN | 8K × 16, 20 ns, 3.3 V core (5 V tolerant I/O), 100-pin TQFP - lower active power, no BUSY arbitration | Relies on external logic or software for port coordination; incompatible voltage domain for legacy 5 V systems | Choose for new 3.3 V designs prioritizing power efficiency over hardware arbitration and drop-in replacement |
Compared with CY7C136-20JC and AS7C38098B-20JIN, the 7025L20JI uniquely delivers industrial-temp-rated 2 V data retention, hardware BUSY arbitration, and MIL-qualified ceramic PGA packaging - making it irreplaceable in safety-critical, battery-backed, or high-reliability dual-processor architectures.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed maximum access time for the 7025L20JI under industrial temperature conditions?
The 7025L20JI guarantees a maximum read cycle time (tRC) of 20 ns across its full industrial operating range (–40°C to +85°C) with VCC = 4.5 V to 5.5 V. This specification is production-tested and applies to both ports independently under worst-case voltage and temperature corners.
Does the 7025L20JI support true simultaneous read operations from both ports to the same memory address?
Yes - the 7025L20JI uses true dual-port SRAM cells that allow concurrent reads from identical addresses on left and right ports without contention or arbitration delay. This behavior is inherent to the cell design and does not require BUSY assertion or external coordination.
How does the M/S pin affect BUSY functionality in the 7025L20JI?
When M/S = HIGH, the 7025L20JI configures BUSYL/BUSYR as outputs that assert during port contention; when M/S = LOW, BUSYL/BUSYR become inputs for slave-side synchronization. This pin enables master/slave cascading without external logic, directly controlling BUSY signal direction per device role.
What is the minimum supply voltage required to retain data in the 7025L20JI during power-down?
The 7025L20JI retains valid data down to VCC = 2.0 V, as specified in the Data Retention Characteristics table. At this voltage, typical retention current is 100 µA (MIL/IND) or 100 µA (COM'L), enabling reliable operation from backup batteries or supercapacitors.
Can the 7025L20JI be used in a 32-bit data path configuration, and how is it implemented?
Yes - the 7025L20JI supports 32-bit expansion via Master/Slave cascading. One device is configured as master (M/S = H) providing BUSY output, while the second acts as slave (M/S = L) accepting BUSY input. IDT's documented approach eliminates timing skew and ensures full-speed error-free operation without discrete glue logic.
