Product details
Overview
70261S55PFI 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 in commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), powered by single 5V ±10% supply, and packaged in 100-pin TQFP. It enables simultaneous independent read/write access to the same memory location across left and right ports for real-time inter-processor communication in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 70261S55PFI datasheet, 70261S55PFI pinout, 70261S55PFI application, or 70261S55PFI equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port arbitration timing (tBDD ≤ 40 ns), interrupt flag setup/reset times (tINS/tINR ≤ 40 ns), semaphore contention window (tSPS = 5 ns), and industrial-grade alternatives for extended temperature operation.
Technical Context
The 70261S55PFI implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with separate address, control, and I/O buses per port, enabling concurrent access without external arbitration logic. Its on-chip arbitration uses BUSY flag assertion (push-pull, not open-drain) triggered by address match or chip-enable overlap, with priority determined by tAPS (5 ns setup).
Interrupt generation is memory-mapped: writing to address 3FFFH sets INTR, reading 3FFFH clears it; writing to 3FFEH sets INTL, reading 3FFEH clears it. Semaphore flags (8 total) are accessed via A0–A2 with CE = VIH/SEM = VIL, supporting mutual exclusion in multi-processor environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 16K × 16 bits (256 Kbit), fully random-access SRAM array |
| Access Time (max) | 55 ns - defines minimum read cycle time (tRC) for worst-case timing closure |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard TTL-compatible 5V system rails with ±10% tolerance |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial grade; not rated for industrial -40°C to +85°C operation |
| Power Consumption | Active: 150 mA typ. (750 mW); Standby (ISB1): 13 mA max - enables low-power idle states via CE control |
| Package | 100-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP), 14 mm × 14 mm body - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles |
| Interrupt Timing | tINS/tINR ≤ 40 ns - ensures fast inter-processor signaling latency for real-time response |
Pinout & Package
70261S55PFI is housed in a 100-pin TQFP (PNG100) package with 0.5 mm pitch, 14 mm × 14 mm footprint, and 1.4 mm height. All VCC and GND pins must be individually decoupled per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low enable controlling port power-down; CE = VIH places port in standby (ISB1/ISB2) |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left / Right) | Active-low signal determining data direction: VIL = write, VIH = read (with OE asserted) |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low control of I/O bus drivers; disables outputs to prevent bus contention |
| UBL / UBR, LBL / LBR | Upper/Lower Byte Select | Enable byte-level access (I/O8–I/O15 or I/O0–I/O7) for multiplexed bus compatibility |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag Output | Open-collector compatible (per datasheet note: push-pull), asserted when opposite port writes mailbox address |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Input/Output) | Push-pull BUSY: output when M/S = H (Master), input when M/S = L (Slave); stalls conflicting writes |
| M/S | Master/Slave Select | Configures device role in cascaded 32-bit+ systems: H = BUSY output (Master), L = BUSY input (Slave) |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore Enable | Active-high control for accessing 8 semaphore flags via A0–A2; requires CE = VIH for semaphore mode |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Dual-Port Architecture | Enables simultaneous, independent read/write to identical addresses without external logic or wait states |
| Hardware Semaphore Support | Eight dedicated flags accessible via A0–A2, enabling atomic resource locking between processors |
| On-Chip Arbitration Logic | Automatic BUSY assertion on address or CE overlap eliminates need for discrete priority encoders |
| Memory-Mapped Interrupts | Mailbox addresses 3FFEH (INTL) and 3FFFH (INTR) provide zero-software-overhead inter-processor signaling |
| Byte-Controlled I/O | Separate UBL/LBL and UBR/LBR allow 8-bit data transfers on 16-bit bus, easing integration with legacy peripherals |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 70261L55PFI | Same speed grade (55 ns), lower standby current (ISB3 = 0.2 mA vs. 1.0 mA), but only available in commercial temp range | Identical pinout and function; preferred where ultra-low standby power is critical and ambient stays <70°C | Select 70261L55PFI if system sleep current budget is <100 µA and thermal environment is controlled. |
| 70261S20PFI | Slower access (20 ns max), industrial temp rating (-40°C to +85°C), same 100-pin TQFP package | Supports harsh environments but requires 2.75× longer read cycles; incompatible for 55 ns timing-critical paths | Choose 70261S20PFI only when extended temperature operation is mandatory and system timing budget allows ≥20 ns latency. |
Compared with 70261S55PFI, the 70261L55PFI reduces full-standby current by 80% with no timing or interface trade-offs, while the 70261S20PFI sacrifices speed for industrial temperature resilience-neither is pin-compatible drop-in replacements due to differing DC/AC specs and qualification grades.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 70261S55PFI?
The 70261S55PFI does not specify a clock frequency; it is an asynchronous SRAM. Its maximum effective throughput is governed by the 55 ns read cycle time (tRC), allowing up to ~18.2 MHz sustained random-access bandwidth per port when interfaced with appropriately timed control logic.
Does the 70261S55PFI support industrial temperature operation?
No. The 70261S55PFI is rated only for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). For industrial operation (-40°C to +85°C), consider the 70261S20PFI or 70261L20PFI variants, which share the same pinout but are characterized across the extended range.
How does the BUSY arbitration logic work in the 70261S55PFI?
In the 70261S55PFI, BUSY asserts when both ports attempt access to the same address simultaneously. With M/S = H (Master), BUSYL/BUSYR are outputs that stall the later-arriving write. Priority is resolved by tAPS (5 ns setup), ensuring deterministic resolution without external logic.
Can the 70261S55PFI be used in a 32-bit data path configuration?
Yes. The 70261S55PFI supports cascaded MASTER/SLAVE operation using the M/S pin. Two devices can be combined-one as Master (M/S = H), one as Slave (M/S = L)-to construct a 32-bit wide dual-port memory without additional glue logic.
What are the voltage levels required for interrupt flag operation on the 70261S55PFI?
The 70261S55PFI interrupt flags (INTL/INTR) are push-pull outputs compatible with TTL logic: VOH ≥ 2.4 V at IOH = −4 mA, VOL ≤ 0.4 V at IOL = 4 mA. No external pull-up resistors are needed, simplifying interface design in 5V systems.
