Product details
Overview
70T3589S166BF8 from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed 256K × 36-bit synchronous dual-port SRAM with true dual-port architecture enabling simultaneous read/write access to the same memory location. It operates at 166MHz (3.6ns access time), supports independent 2.5V core and selectable 2.5V/3.3V I/O supplies per port, and features pipelined or flow-through output modes. It is used in real-time packet buffering for telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the 70T3589S166BF8 datasheet, 70T3589S166BF8 pinout, 70T3589S166BF8 application, or 70T3589S166BF8 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature support (−40°C to +85°C), 208-pin fpBGA package, JTAG-compliant IEEE 1149.1 test interface, and dual chip enable for depth expansion without external logic.
Technical Context
This device implements fully synchronous operation on both left and right ports with register-controlled inputs for minimal setup/hold timing-1.5ns setup and 0.5ns hold at 200MHz. Its dual-port memory array uses true dual-port cells, not pseudo-dual-port emulation, enabling concurrent access without arbitration overhead.
The architecture includes independent address counters with ADS strobe, CNTEN enable, and REPEAT latch per port; configurable sleep mode via ZZL/ZZR pins; and byte-enable granularity (four 9-bit bytes) with asynchronous OE control. Pipelined output mode reduces tCD to 3.6ns at 166MHz, while flow-through mode provides deterministic 12ns latency.

Pinout & Package
70T3589S166BF8 is housed in a 208-pin fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (fpBGA) package designated BF208/BFG208, with 15 mm × 15 mm footprint and 0.8 mm ball pitch. All VDD pins require 2.5 V supply; VDDQ pins must match OPT pin configuration (2.5 V if OPT = VSS, 3.3 V if OPT = VDD).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKL / CLKR | Port clock input | Synchronous edge-triggered timing reference for all registered inputs/outputs on respective port. |
| A0L–A15L / A0R–A15R | Address inputs | 16-bit address bus per port; A16/A17 are no-connect for 70T3589, simplifying routing vs. higher-density variants. |
| I/O0L–I/O35L / I/O0R–I/O35R | Bidirectional data bus | 36-bit wide data path per port; supports independent read/write operations with byte-enable (BE0–BE3) control. |
| CE0L/CE1L / CE0R/CE1R | Chip enable pair | Dual CE architecture allows seamless depth expansion (e.g., 512K×36) using simple logic-no external decoder required. |
| PL/FTL / PL/FTR | Output mode select | Configures port output pipeline depth: VIH = pipelined (lower tCD), VIL = flow-through (deterministic latency). |
| ZZL / ZZR | Sleep mode control | Asynchronous active-high signal disabling dynamic inputs (except JTAG), reducing standby current to ≤20 mA. |
| TCK/TMS/TDI/TDO/TRST | JTAG interface | Fully compliant IEEE 1149.1 TAP controller; enables boundary-scan testing and in-system programming support. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True dual-port memory cell architecture | Enables simultaneous, conflict-free read/write access to identical addresses-eliminates arbitration logic in FPGA-to-ASIC interconnect buffers. |
| Dual-cycle deselect (DCD) in pipelined mode | Guarantees clean bus release after two clocks when chip enables deactivate-prevents metastability in multi-port memory systems. |
| Independent per-port voltage selection | OPTL/OPTR pins allow left port at 3.3 V and right port at 2.5 V-supports heterogeneous SoC interfacing without level shifters. |
| Address counter with ADS/CNTEN/REPEAT | Reduces address bus loading in burst transfers; REPEAT latches last ADS-loaded address for auto-incremented sequential reads. |
| Interrupt and collision detection flags | INTR/COLR and INTL/COLL outputs signal port contention or completion events-enables hardware-accelerated flow control in real-time systems. |
Applications
| Telecom Line Card Buffering | Real-Time Industrial PLC Memory |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1362BV33-166BZI | 3.3 V core (not 2.5 V); 166 MHz max; 256K × 36; 208-pin TQFP (not fpBGA) | Lacks per-port I/O voltage selection and JTAG; requires external level translation for mixed-voltage designs | Select only if legacy TQFP layout reuse is mandatory and 2.5 V core compatibility is not required. |
| IDT70V3589S166PF | Same architecture but 256-pin BGA; supports 200 MHz (S200 suffix); commercial temp only (0°C to +70°C) | Higher speed but no industrial temp rating; larger package increases PCB area and routing complexity | Choose only for commercial-grade systems needing >166 MHz throughput and available board space for 256-pin BGA. |
Compared with CY7C1362BV33-166BZI and IDT70V3589S166PF, the 70T3589S166BF8 uniquely combines industrial temperature range, per-port I/O voltage flexibility, and compact fpBGA packaging-making it optimal for space-constrained, mixed-voltage, mission-critical embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 70T3589S166BF8 under industrial temperature conditions?
The 70T3589S166BF8 is rated for 166 MHz operation across the full industrial temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. This is confirmed in the AC Electrical Characteristics table (page 12), where tCYC2 = 6 ns (min) and tCD2 = 3.6 ns (max) are guaranteed for S166 versions in industrial grade. The BF208 package does not support 200 MHz operation per datasheet note #7.
Does the 70T3589S166BF8 support independent voltage selection on its left and right ports?
Yes, the 70T3589S166BF8 supports independent I/O voltage selection per port via OPTL and OPTR pins. Setting OPTL = VDD (2.5 V) configures the left port for 3.3 V I/O levels with VDDQL = 3.3 V; setting OPTR = VSS (0 V) configures the right port for 2.5 V I/O levels with VDDQR = 2.5 V. This is documented in Pin Names table (page 6) and DC Operating Conditions (pages 8–9).
What package type and dimensions does the 70T3589S166BF8 use?
The 70T3589S166BF8 uses a 208-pin fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (fpBGA) package designated BF208/BFG208. Its mechanical dimensions are 15 mm × 15 mm × 1.4 mm with 0.8 mm ball pitch. This is specified in the Pin Configuration section (page 5) and confirmed in the ordering information footnote.
How does the sleep mode (ZZ) function on the 70T3589S166BF8?
Asserting ZZL or ZZR high disables dynamic inputs (clock, address, control, data) on the corresponding port, reducing current draw to ≤20 mA (ISB3/ISB4). JTAG inputs remain active during sleep mode, but boundary-scan is not recommended per datasheet note #4. Sleep mode recovery requires three clock cycles (tZZRC), as defined in AC Electrical Characteristics (page 12).
Is JTAG boundary-scan supported on the 70T3589S166BF8, and what are its limitations?
Yes, the 70T3589S166BF8 supports full IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan via TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and TRST pins. Unlike the DR208 PQFP variant, the BF208 fpBGA package retains JTAG functionality. However, boundary-scan operation is not recommended during sleep mode (ZZ asserted), as stated in Pin Names note #4.
