Product details
Overview
70261S55PFG from IDT (now Renesas) is a high-speed 16K × 16 true dual-port static RAM with interrupt and semaphore logic, operating at 55 ns max access time (commercial grade), supporting simultaneous independent read/write access to the same memory location from left and right ports, and featuring TTL-compatible 5 V ±10% supply - used in real-time inter-processor communication systems requiring deterministic arbitration.
For engineers reviewing the 70261S55PFG datasheet, 70261S55PFG pinout, 70261S55PFG application, or 70261S55PFG equivalent, key selection considerations include port-to-port BUSY arbitration timing (tBDD ≤ 40 ns), interrupt flag set/reset latency (tINS/tINR ≤ 40 ns), semaphore contention window (tSPS = 5 ns), and 100-pin TQFP package compatibility with 14 mm × 14 mm footprint.
Technical Context
This device implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with separate address, control, and I/O buses per port, enabling concurrent access without external glue logic. It integrates on-chip arbitration logic, push-pull BUSY/INT outputs, and eight hardware semaphores addressed via A0–A2 for inter-port synchronization.
Memory organization is 16,384 words × 16 bits (16K × 16), with independent chip enable (CEL/CER), read/write (R/WL/R/WR), output enable (OEL/OER), upper/lower byte select (UBL/UBR, LBL/LBR), and master/slave select (M/S) pins. Semaphore access requires CE = VIH and SEM = VIL, while RAM access requires CE = VIL and SEM = VIH.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Density | 16K × 16 (256 Kbit), enabling 32-bit or wider data bus expansion via MASTER/SLAVE cascading |
| Access Time (max) | 55 ns - defines minimum read cycle time (tRC) for commercial operation at 5 V |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - TTL-compatible single 5 V ±10% rail, no auxiliary supplies required |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial grade only for 70261S55PFG variant |
| Power Consumption | Active: 150 mA typ. (ICC), Standby: 13 mA typ. (ISB1) - enables low-power idle states per port |
| Interrupt Latency | tINS ≤ 40 ns, tINR ≤ 40 ns - supports sub-40 ns inter-processor message acknowledgment |
| Semaphore Timing | tSPS = 5 ns - ensures deterministic token handoff between ports under contention |
Pinout & Package
70261S55PFG is housed in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch, body size 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm. All VCC and GND pins must be connected per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left / Right) | Independent port activation; drives respective port into standby when high |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left / Right) | Active-low write enable; high = read, low = write - asynchronous per port |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left / Right) | Tri-states I/O drivers independently; allows shared bus usage without contention |
| UBL / UBR, LBL / LBR | Upper/Lower Byte Select | Enables byte-level writes (I/O0–I/O7 or I/O8–I/O15) for multiplexed bus compatibility |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag Output (Left / Right) | Push-pull active-low flags asserted on mailbox writes (3FFE/3FFF) - no external pull-up needed |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Left / Right) | Push-pull BUSY signals indicate port-to-port address collision; M/S = H → output, M/S = L → input |
| M/S | Master/Slave Select | Configures device as MASTER (BUSY output) or SLAVE (BUSY input); enables cascaded 32-bit+ systems |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore Enable | Activates semaphore register bank (8 flags) when low; CE = VIH required for semaphore access |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Dual-Port Architecture | Simultaneous independent read/write to identical addresses - eliminates software polling or external arbitration logic |
| Hardware Semaphore Logic | Eight dedicated flags accessible via A0–A2, enabling atomic resource locking across processors without CPU intervention |
| On-Chip Arbitration | Automatic BUSY assertion with priority resolution (tAPS = 5 ns) - guarantees deterministic access order during contention |
| Interrupt Mailbox Support | Dedicated 16-bit SRAM locations (3FFE/3FFF) serve as hardware-triggered inter-processor messaging registers |
| Byte-Controlled Writes | Separate UBL/LBL and UBR/LBR allow partial-word updates - critical for mixed-data-width system interfaces |
| Low-Power Standby | Per-port CE control reduces ISB1 to 13 mA typ.; full CMOS standby (ISB3) draws ≤1.0 mA - suitable for burst-mode systems |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Communication | Avionics Data Exchange |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C028V-55AXC | 55 ns access, 16K × 16, but lacks integrated interrupt/mailbox logic and uses different BUSY arbitration scheme | Requires external logic for interrupt generation and semaphore emulation | Select when interrupt/semaphore features are unnecessary and Cypress ecosystem integration is preferred |
| AS7C316000B-55PCN | 55 ns access, 16K × 16, no BUSY/INT pins; only basic dual-port functionality with separate I/Os | No hardware arbitration or inter-processor signaling - software-managed coherency required | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where deterministic hardware arbitration is not required |
Compared with CY7C028V-55AXC and AS7C316000B-55PCN, the 70261S55PFG uniquely integrates interrupt mailboxes, push-pull BUSY signaling, and eight hardware semaphores - reducing BOM count and eliminating firmware arbitration overhead in tightly coupled multi-processor systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 70261S55PFG?
The 70261S55PFG is rated for commercial temperature operation only: 0°C to +70°C. It is not qualified for industrial (-40°C to +85°C) use - that capability is reserved for variants like 70261S20PFG or 70261S25PFG. This limitation is specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and confirmed by ordering information in the datasheet.
Does the 70261S55PFG support true simultaneous read/write to the same address?
Yes, the 70261S55PFG implements true dual-ported memory cells that permit simultaneous access of the same memory location. When contention occurs, on-chip arbitration asserts BUSY on the later-arriving port, allowing the first port to complete its operation - a behavior verified in Truth Table IV and Timing Waveform 11.
How are interrupt mailboxes configured on the 70261S55PFG?
The 70261S55PFG uses fixed SRAM addresses 3FFEH (left port interrupt) and 3FFFH (right port interrupt) as hardware-triggered mailboxes. Writing to 3FFFH from the left port asserts INTR; reading 3FFFH from the right port clears it - all governed by Truth Table III in the official datasheet.
What is the function of the M/S pin on the 70261S55PFG?
The M/S (Master/Slave Select) pin configures arbitration behavior: when high, BUSY is an output (MASTER mode); when low, BUSY is an input (SLAVE mode). This enables cascading multiple 70261S55PFG devices for 32-bit-or-wider word systems without external logic, as described in the Functional Block Diagram and Pin Configuration notes.
Can the 70261S55PFG operate with mixed voltage interfaces?
No - the 70261S55PFG requires a single 5 V ±10% supply (4.5 V to 5.5 V) and is strictly TTL-compatible. Input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) and output drive levels (VOH ≥ 2.4 V, VOL ≤ 0.4 V) are defined only for 5 V operation; interfacing with 3.3 V or lower logic requires level translation.
