Product details
Overview
70T3599S166BF 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), supports independent 2.5V core and selectable 2.5V/3.3V I/O supplies per port, and features pipelined or flow-through output modes. Used in real-time packet buffering for telecom line cards and FPGA co-processor interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 70T3599S166BF datasheet, 70T3599S166BF pinout, 70T3599S166BF application, or 70T3599S166BF 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 depth expansion capability without external logic.
Technical Context
This device implements fully synchronous operation on both left and right ports with register-controlled inputs, enabling minimal setup/hold times (1.5ns setup, 0.5ns hold @ 200MHz). Its dual-port memory array uses dedicated address/data/control paths per port, with independent clocking (CLKL/CLKR), chip enables (CE0L/CE1L, CE0R/CE1R), and byte enables (BE0–BE3) for 9-bit granularity.
The architecture includes configurable pipeline/flow-through output mode (PL/FTL/R), address counter with repeat and enable (CNTENL/R, REPEATL/R), ADS-triggered address strobe, and collision/interrupt flag generation. Sleep mode (ZZL/ZZR) disables dynamic inputs while preserving JTAG accessibility.

Pinout & Package
70T3599S166BF is housed in a 208-pin fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (fpBGA) package (BF208/BFG208), measuring 15 mm × 15 mm × 1.4 mm with 0.8 mm ball pitch. All VDD pins require 2.5 V; VDDQ pins must match OPT pin configuration (3.3 V if OPT = VDD, 2.5 V if OPT = VSS). A17L and A17R are no-connect (NC) pins per datasheet note.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKL / CLKR | Port-synchronous clock input | Edge-triggered master clock for left/right port registers; all control/data/address sampled on rising edge |
| CE0L/CE1L, CE0R/CE1R | Dual chip enable inputs | Enable depth expansion: CE0X = L & CE1X = H activates port; dual enables allow stacking without glue logic |
| PL/FTL / PL/FTR | Pipeline/Flow-through mode select | VIH = pipelined (1-cycle latency, tCD2 = 3.6 ns); VIL = flow-through (0-cycle latency, tCD1 = 12 ns) |
| ADSL / ADSR | Address strobe enable | Latches current address into internal counter; enables sequential burst access without external address increment logic |
| INTL / INTR, COLL / COLR | Asynchronous status flags | Open-drain outputs signaling interrupt or write collision between ports; require external pull-up resistors |
| ZZL / ZZR | Sleep mode control | VIH disables dynamic inputs (reducing ISB to 5–15 mA), retains JTAG and static pin states (OPT, PL/FT) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True dual-port memory cells | Enables concurrent read/write to identical addresses-critical for lock-free FIFOs and shared-memory inter-processor communication |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1362BV33-166BZXI | 3.3V core supply (no 2.5V option); 166MHz max, 256K × 36; 208-pin TQFP (not BGA) | Lacks independent I/O voltage selection and sleep mode; requires board-level level-shifting for mixed-voltage systems | Choose when legacy TQFP footprint compatibility is required and 3.3V-only operation suffices. |
| AS7C3256A-166BIN | Asynchronous dual-port (not synchronous); 166MHz max, 256K × 36; 100-pin TQFP | No clock-domain synchronization, no JTAG, no pipelined mode-unsuitable for tightly timed FPGA interfaces | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-timing-critical control-plane buffers where clockless operation is acceptable. |
Compared with CY7C1362BV33-166BZXI and AS7C3256A-166BIN, the 70T3599S166BF uniquely delivers 2.5V core + flexible per-port I/O voltage, IEEE 1149.1 JTAG, and pipelined/flow-through mode selection-making it optimal for thermally demanding, mixed-voltage, high-reliability embedded designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 70T3599S166BF at industrial temperature?
The 70T3599S166BF is rated for 166MHz operation over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This corresponds to a 6ns clock cycle time in pipelined mode and guarantees 3.6ns maximum access time. Note that the 200MHz speed grade (S200) is commercial-only and not available in the BF208 package used by the 70T3599S166BF.
Does the 70T3599S166BF support independent voltage selection for each port's I/O interface?
Yes, the 70T3599S166BF supports independent I/O voltage selection per port via OPTL and OPTR pins. Setting OPTL = VDD (2.5V) configures the left port for 3.3V signaling (requiring VDDQL = 3.3V), while OPTL = VSS (0V) configures it for 2.5V signaling (VDDQL = 2.5V). The right port is controlled identically by OPTR and VDDQR. This enables seamless interfacing with mixed-voltage FPGAs or processors.
What is the function of the REPEATL and REPEATR pins on the 70T3599S166BF?
REPEATL and REPEATR are asynchronous inputs that reset the internal address counter to the last valid address loaded via ADSL or ADSR, respectively. When asserted (VIH), they cause the counter to re-output that stored address on subsequent clock edges-enabling efficient burst reads/writes without external address generation logic. The repeat address is not preset at power-up and must be initialized via an ADS access.
How does the sleep mode (ZZL/ZZR) affect JTAG functionality on the 70T3599S166BF?
When ZZL or ZZR is asserted (VIH), the 70T3599S166BF enters sleep mode, disabling all dynamic inputs except JTAG signals (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, TRST). Static inputs-including PL/FTL/R, OPTL/R, and the ZZ pins themselves-remain active. Boundary scan operations are preserved, but the datasheet recommends avoiding JTAG activity during sleep mode to ensure reliable test vector application.
Are A17L and A17R functional address pins on the 70T3599S166BF?
No, A17L and A17R are no-connect (NC) pins on the 70T3599S166BF, as explicitly stated in the datasheet notes. The device implements a 256K × 36 organization, which requires only 18 address bits (A0–A17), but A17 is unused and tied off internally. Addressing is therefore limited to A0–A16 (131K words) for this variant, consistent with the 70T3599 designation within the 70T3519/99/89 family.
