Product details
Overview
70261S55PFI8/2703 from IDT (now Renesas) is a high-speed 16K × 16 true dual-port static RAM with interrupt and semaphore support, operating at 55 ns max access time, 5 V ±10% supply, and industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C). It enables simultaneous asynchronous read/write access from independent left/right ports in real-time embedded systems requiring inter-processor communication.
For engineers reviewing the 70261S55PFI8/2703 datasheet, 70261S55PFI8/2703 pinout, 70261S55PFI8/2703 application, or 70261S55PFI8/2703 equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, validated pin functions, confirmed industrial-temperature operation, and two rigorously cross-checked alternative parts for memory coherency and arbitration-critical designs.
Technical Context
The 70261S55PFI8/2703 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 hardware supports semaphore signaling across eight flags (addressed via A0–A2), BUSY flag arbitration (M/S = H for master output, M/S = L for slave input), and interrupt generation via dedicated mailbox addresses (3FFEH and 3FFFH).
It features independent byte-enable (UBL/LBL, UBR/LBR), chip enable (CEL/CER), and output enable (OEL/OER) per port, allowing selective upper/lower byte writes and full 32-bit expansion via master/slave cascading. Power management includes TTL-compatible 5 V operation and four standby current modes (ISB1–ISB4), with full CMOS-level standby drawing as low as 0.2 mA (typ.) for the L-version.

FAQ
What is the maximum access time specification for the 70261S55PFI8/2703?
The 70261S55PFI8/2703 has a maximum address access time (tAA) of 55 ns over the full industrial temperature range (−40°C to +85°C) and 4.5 V to 5.5 V supply. This value is production-tested and guaranteed per the datasheet AC Electrical Characteristics table for the X55 speed grade. The 70261S55PFI8/2703 achieves this performance without derating at temperature extremes.
Does the 70261S55PFI8/2703 support true simultaneous read/write operations on both ports?
Yes, the 70261S55PFI8/2703 implements true dual-port static RAM cells that permit fully independent, asynchronous read or write access from left and right ports-even to the same memory location. When contention occurs, on-chip BUSY logic asserts the appropriate BUSY flag to stall the later access, preserving data integrity without external arbitration circuitry.
How does the interrupt functionality work on the 70261S55PFI8/2703?
The 70261S55PFI8/2703 uses dedicated mailbox addresses: writing to 3FFFH via the left port asserts INTR (right port interrupt flag), and writing to 3FFEH via the right port asserts INTL (left port interrupt flag). Clearing is performed by reading the same address. These are standard SRAM locations-no special registers-so the stored 16-bit payload is user-defined and retained until overwritten.
What is the role of the M/S pin on the 70261S55PFI8/2703?
The M/S (Master/Slave Select) pin configures the 70261S55PFI8/2703's arbitration behavior: when high, BUSYL and BUSYR operate as outputs indicating port contention; when low, they become inputs that inhibit writes on the receiving port. This enables hierarchical cascading-e.g., one master coordinating multiple slaves-in 32-bit or wider memory systems without external logic.
Is the 70261S55PFI8/2703 RoHS-compliant and halogen-free?
Yes, the 70261S55PFI8/2703 is a green part compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per JEDEC JS709A. The "PFI8" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes lead-free, RoHS-compliant packaging with matte tin finish on all leads, verified per Renesas' material declarations and qualification reports.
