Product details
Overview
70T3539MS166BC from IDT (now Renesas) is a high-speed synchronous dual-port static RAM with true dual-access architecture, 512K × 36-bit organization, 2.5V core supply, and selectable 2.5V/3.3V I/O interfaces per port. It delivers 3.6ns clock-to-data-out (pipelined mode) and supports 166MHz operation for real-time inter-processor communication in telecom line cards and FPGA co-processing systems.
For engineers reviewing the 70T3539MS166BC datasheet, 70T3539MS166BC pinout, 70T3539MS166BC application, or 70T3539MS166BC equivalent, key selection criteria include pipelined vs. flow-through output timing, independent port voltage configuration via OPT pins, collision/interrupt flag handling, JTAG boundary-scan support, and industrial-grade (-40°C to +85°C) thermal stability at full speed.
Technical Context
The 70T3539MS166BC implements fully synchronous dual-port operation with separate clock domains (CLKL/CLKR), register-controlled address/data/control inputs, and dual-cycle deselect (DCD) for pipelined output mode. Its memory array uses true dual-port SRAM cells enabling simultaneous read/write access to identical addresses without arbitration logic.
Each port features independent power domains: 2.5V core (VDD) and configurable I/O supply (VDDQ) set by OPTL/OPTR pins-supporting mixed-voltage system integration. Critical timing functions-including address counter enable (CNTEN), repeat (REPEAT), and address strobe (ADSL/ADSR)-are synchronized to respective port clocks and decoupled from chip-enable states.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 512K × 36 bits (18 Mbit total); enables 36-bit parallel data exchange between two independent bus masters. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 166 MHz (commercial grade); supports 6 ns cycle time in pipelined mode for 12 Gbps aggregate bandwidth. |
| Access Time | 3.6 ns (pipelined), 12 ns (flow-through); determines minimum latency for deterministic real-time data handoff. |
| I/O Voltage Support | Selectable 2.5V or 3.3V per port via OPTL/OPTR; allows seamless interfacing with legacy 3.3V FPGAs and modern 2.5V ASICs. |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C (industrial); validated for continuous operation at 133 MHz under full thermal stress. |
| Power Management | Dual CE-based standby modes and ZZ sleep mode; reduces dynamic current to 12 mA (ISB3) or 12 mA (Izz) during idle. |

Pinout & Package
70T3539MS166BC is housed in a 256-pin BGA (17 mm × 17 mm, 1.0 mm ball pitch), with dedicated power/ground balls distributed across the array to minimize noise coupling between ports. VDD (2.5V core) and VDDQ (2.5V/3.3V I/O) supplies are segregated per port, and all VSS balls must be connected to a low-impedance ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKL / CLKR | Port-specific synchronous clock input | Drives all internal registers on left/right port; defines timing reference for setup/hold and access cycles. |
| A0L–A18L / A0R–A18R | 19-bit address inputs per port | Directly selects one of 524,288 (219) memory locations; no external address decoding required. |
| I/O0L–I/O35L / I/O0R–I/O35R | 36-bit bidirectional data bus per port | Supports byte-wise write enable (BE0–BE3) for partial-word updates without read-modify-write overhead. |
| CE0L/CE1L / CE0R/CE1R | Dual chip enable inputs per port | Enables depth expansion: CE0L=LOW + CE1L=HIGH activates left port; both HIGH disables port entirely. |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write direction control per port | Synchronous edge-triggered; combined with OE and BE signals to define precise read/write window timing. |
| OEL / OER | Asynchronous output enable per port | Tri-states I/O bus independently of clock; critical for bus sharing and hot-swap-safe memory access. |
| OPTL / OPTR | I/O voltage select input per port | Set to VDD (2.5V) → 3.3V I/O levels; set to VSS (0V) → 2.5V I/O levels; configures VDDQX supply requirement. |
| ZZL / ZZR | Port-specific sleep mode input | Asserted HIGH disables dynamic inputs (except JTAG), reducing power to 12 mA while preserving memory state. |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flag output per port | Signals completion of write or counter-triggered event; used for handshake-driven firmware synchronization. |
| COLL / COLR | Collision detection output per port | Asserts when simultaneous access to same address occurs; enables software/hardware arbitration recovery paths. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Dual-Port Architecture | Enables concurrent read/write access to identical memory locations-eliminates arbitration logic and lock-step delays in multi-core systems. |
| Selectable Pipelined or Flow-Through Output | Pipelined mode (FT/PIPE = VIH) cuts tCD to 3.6 ns for burst throughput; flow-through (FT/PIPE = VIL) provides zero-cycle latency for deterministic control loops. |
| Independent Port Voltage Configuration | OPTL/OPTR pins allow left port at 3.3V (FPGA interface) and right port at 2.5V (ASIC interface) simultaneously-no level shifters needed. |
| Address Counter with Repeat Function | CNTENL/R and REPEATL/R enable auto-incrementing address sequences and instant return to last ADS-loaded address-ideal for FIFO emulation and DMA buffering. |
| Collision and Interrupt Flags | COLL/COLR and INTL/INTR outputs provide hardware-level event signaling-reduces CPU polling overhead and improves real-time response predictability. |
| JTAG Boundary-Scan Support | Full IEEE 1149.1 compliance enables production test, in-circuit debugging, and solder-joint integrity verification without physical probe access. |
Applications
| Telecom Line Card Buffering | FPGA-ASIC Co-Processing Interface |

FAQ
What is the maximum guaranteed operating frequency of the 70T3539MS166BC?
The 70T3539MS166BC is specified for 166 MHz operation in commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) with pipelined output mode. In industrial range (-40°C to +85°C), it is guaranteed up to 133 MHz. Both ratings assume proper power supply decoupling, signal integrity, and adherence to AC timing parameters including tCH2/tCL2 and tCD2.
How does the OPTL and OPTR pin configuration affect I/O voltage levels on the 70T3539MS166BC?
On the 70T3539MS166BC, OPTL = VDD (2.5V) configures the left port for 3.3V I/O signaling and requires VDDQL = 3.3V; OPTL = VSS (0V) configures it for 2.5V I/O with VDDQL = 2.5V. OPTR operates identically for the right port. This independence allows mixed-voltage system integration without external level shifters.
Does the 70T3539MS166BC support true simultaneous read/write access to the same memory address?
Yes-the 70T3539MS166BC uses true dual-port SRAM cells that permit concurrent read and write operations to identical addresses on left and right ports. Collision detection (COLL/COLR) flags assert when this occurs, enabling hardware-aware arbitration without data corruption or bus contention.
What is the purpose of the ZZL and ZZR pins on the 70T3539MS166BC?
The ZZL and ZZR pins on the 70T3539MS166BC activate port-specific sleep mode when driven HIGH. This disables dynamic inputs (except JTAG), reducing standby current to 12 mA per port while preserving memory contents. Sleep mode recovery requires three clock cycles (tZZRC), and JTAG remains fully functional during sleep.
Can the 70T3539MS166BC be used for depth expansion, and how is it implemented?
Yes-the 70T3539MS166BC supports depth expansion using dual chip enables (CE0/CE1). For example, two devices can be stacked: CE0L = LOW/CE1L = HIGH enables first device; CE0L = HIGH/CE1L = LOW enables second. No additional logic is required, and pipelined timing waveforms remain consistent across expanded configurations.
