Product details
Overview
70261S25PFI from IDT is a high-speed 16K × 16 true dual-port static RAM with interrupt and semaphore logic, operating at 25 ns max access time (industrial grade), supporting simultaneous asynchronous reads/writes to the same memory location, and featuring separate upper/lower byte enables for multiplexed bus compatibility in real-time inter-processor communication systems.
For engineers reviewing the 70261S25PFI datasheet, 70261S25PFI pinout, 70261S25PFI application, or 70261S25PFI equivalent, this device serves as a critical shared-memory interface in dual-CPU architectures, telecom line cards, and industrial motion controllers where deterministic port arbitration and hardware mailbox signaling are required.
Technical Context
The 70261S25PFI implements fully independent left/right ports with dedicated address (A0–A13), data (I/O0–I/O15), and control lines (CE, R/W, OE, UB/LB, SEM), enabling concurrent access without external arbitration logic. Its on-chip arbitration resolves contention via BUSY flag assertion-either by address match or CE timing-with priority set-up time (tAPS = 5 ns) guaranteeing deterministic resolution.
It integrates full hardware semaphore support across eight flags (addressed by A0–A2), accessed via dedicated SEM/CE control states (CE = VIH, SEM = VIL), and provides interrupt generation through dedicated mailbox addresses (3FFEH and 3FFFH) with push-pull INTL/INTR outputs compliant with TTL levels under 5 V ±10% supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 16,384 × 16-bit (16K × 16), 262,144 total bits |
| Access Time (max) | 25 ns - guarantees sub-40-MHz synchronous read/write cycles in industrial temperature range |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - single-supply TTL-compatible interface, no level-shifting needed |
| Temperature Range | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded control and base station applications |
| Power Consumption | Active: 170 mA typ. (850 mW); Full standby: 1.0 mA typ. - enables low-power idle modes in always-on systems |
| Package | 100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles |
| Interrupt & Semaphore | Dedicated INTL/INTR flags + 8 hardware semaphores - eliminates software polling and race conditions in multi-core IPC |
Pinout & Package
70261S25PFI is housed in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP) with exposed thermal pad, requiring all VCC and GND pins to be connected per layout guidelines. Pin functions are strictly segregated between left port (L) and right port (R), with no shared signal lines except power and ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left/Right) | Independent port selection; deassertion places respective port in low-power standby (ISB3 ≤ 1.0 mA) |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left/Right) | Active-low write enable; determines data direction on I/O bus during CE-active window |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left/Right) | Tri-states I/O drivers independently; allows partial bus sharing without contention |
| UBL / UBR, LBL / LBR | Upper/Lower Byte Select | Enables 8-bit granularity writes-critical for mixed-width peripheral interfacing and legacy bus compliance |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag Output | Push-pull active-low signals indicating mailbox writes to 3FFEH/3FFFH; directly drive MCU interrupt inputs |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (I/O depending on M/S) | When M/S = H: output indicating local port arbitration block; when M/S = L: input disabling writes during remote contention |
| M/S | Master/Slave Select | Configures BUSY pin behavior-enables cascaded 32-bit+ memory expansion using master/slave topology |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore Enable | Activates semaphore register bank (A0–A2 addressed) when CE = VIH; isolates semaphore access from main RAM space |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Dual-Port Architecture | Simultaneous read/write to identical addresses with hardware BUSY arbitration-no external logic required for conflict resolution |
| Hardware Semaphore Logic | Eight dedicated flags accessible via A0–A2, written via I/O0, readable on all 16 I/O lines-enables lock-free resource sharing between CPUs |
| Interrupt Mailbox Function | Two dedicated 16-bit SRAM locations (3FFEH, 3FFFH) trigger INTL/INTR on write; clear via read-supports zero-latency inter-processor messaging |
| Byte-Controlled Write Enable | Separate UB/LB controls allow independent 8-bit writes-essential for PCI, VME, and other multiplexed data bus implementations |
| Low-Power Standby Modes | Four distinct standby states (ISB1–ISB4) with full CMOS-level ISB3 ≤ 1.0 mA-ideal for battery-backed or energy-constrained systems |
Applications
| Telecom Line Card Control | Industrial Motion Controller |

Use Scenario: ARINC 429 data concentrator aggregating sensor inputs for flight management system. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port RAM buffers incoming serial data (right port) while feeding processed frames to host processor (left port). Use Value: Concurrent access avoids FIFO overflow during bursty sensor traffic; BUSY logic prevents overwrites during host read cycles. |
Use Scenario: MRI subsystem where FPGA-acquired raw k-space data is transferred to ARM-based reconstruction engine. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-bandwidth memory bridge with byte-select writes enabling partial frame updates without full-buffer reload. Use Value: 16-bit parallel interface sustains >32 MB/s sustained throughput; 5 V tolerance simplifies interface to legacy FPGA I/O banks. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1362BV33-25BGXI | 3.3 V core, 25 ns access, 16K × 16, but lacks integrated semaphore logic and interrupt mailboxes | Requires external logic or firmware for resource arbitration; unsuitable for lock-free IPC designs | Select only if system already uses 3.3 V supply and can implement software semaphores |
| IDT70V261S25PF | Pin-compatible 3.3 V variant of same family; identical pinout and function but different voltage rating and lower active current (120 mA typ.) | Direct drop-in replacement only in 3.3 V systems; not interoperable with 5 V buses without level translation | Choose for new 3.3 V designs seeking lower power; verify VIO compatibility with host logic |
Compared with CY7C1362BV33-25BGXI and IDT70V261S25PF, the 70261S25PFI uniquely delivers hardware semaphore and interrupt mailbox functionality within a 5 V TTL ecosystem-making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial and telecom platforms requiring deterministic, zero-software-overhead inter-processor communication.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 70261S25PFI?
The 70261S25PFI does not specify a clock frequency; it is an asynchronous SRAM. Its 25 ns maximum access time supports effective operation up to approximately 40 MHz in systems with zero wait-state timing-verified by tRC = 25 ns read cycle time and tWC = 25 ns write cycle time under industrial conditions.
Does the 70261S25PFI support both master and slave configurations in the same system?
Yes-the 70261S25PFI uses the M/S pin to configure BUSYL/BUSYR as outputs (master) or inputs (slave). Multiple devices can be cascaded: one master coordinates arbitration while slaves respond to BUSY input, enabling scalable 32-bit or wider memory expansion without external glue logic.
How are the interrupt mailbox addresses 3FFEH and 3FFFH used in the 70261S25PFI?
In the 70261S25PFI, writing to address 3FFEH (right port) asserts INTL; reading it clears the flag. Writing to 3FFFH (left port) asserts INTR; reading it clears the flag. These are standard SRAM locations-user data written there becomes the message payload, enabling flexible inter-processor communication.
Can the 70261S25PFI operate with only one port enabled while the other remains inactive?
Yes-the 70261S25PFI supports asymmetric operation: CEL = VIH disables the left port (ISB2 = 105 mA typ.), while CER = VIL enables the right port. This reduces dynamic power and allows partial system operation during maintenance or failover scenarios without reconfiguring PCB layout.
What is the role of the SEM pin during normal RAM access versus semaphore access in the 70261S25PFI?
In the 70261S25PFI, SEM = VIH enables standard RAM access (with CE = VIL); SEM = VIL (and CE = VIH) switches the device into semaphore mode, redirecting A0–A2 to select one of eight semaphore flags-ensuring strict isolation between main memory and synchronization primitives without address decoding overhead.
