Product details
Overview
70T3599S166BF8 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. It is used in real-time packet buffering for telecom line cards and FPGA co-processor interconnects.
For engineers reviewing the 70T3599S166BF8 datasheet, 70T3599S166BF8 pinout, 70T3599S166BF8 application, or 70T3599S166BF8 equivalent, key selection criteria include industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), 256-pin BGA package compatibility, JTAG IEEE 1149.1 compliance, 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 address, data, and control inputs-enabling minimal setup/hold times (1.5ns setup, 0.5ns hold @ 200MHz). Its dual-port memory array supports concurrent access with collision detection and interrupt flags for arbitration.
The architecture includes independent port-level sleep mode (ZZL/ZZR), programmable I/O voltage selection via OPTL/OPTR pins, and an address counter with repeat and enable features. Pipelined output mode delivers 3.6ns tCD2 at 166MHz, while flow-through mode provides deterministic 12ns tCD1 latency.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|

| Max Clock Frequency | 166MHz (industrial grade); supports 5ns cycle time for tightly timed control-plane processing. |
| Access Time | 3.6ns (pipelined, industrial temp); ensures sub-4ns data valid after clock edge in pipeline-critical paths. |
| Supply Voltages | VDD = 2.5V ±100mV (core); VDDQ = 2.5V or 3.3V ±150mV per port; allows mixed-voltage system integration. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for base station, industrial PLC, and transportation infrastructure deployments. |
| Package | 256-pin BGA (BC256/BCG256); 17mm × 17mm body, 1.0mm ball pitch; compatible with standard SMT reflow profiles. |

Pinout & Package
70T3599S166BF8 is housed in a 256-pin Ball Grid Array (BGA) package (BC256/BCG256), measuring 17mm × 17mm × 1.4mm with 1.0mm ball pitch. All VDD pins require connection to 2.5V; VDDQ pins must match OPT pin configuration (2.5V if OPT = VSS, 3.3V if OPT = VDD).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKL / CLKR | Port-synchronous clock input | Drives internal registers on rising edge; determines all timing parameters (tCYC, tCD, setup/hold). |
| A0L–A17L / A0R–A17R | Address inputs | A17 is NC for 70T3599; effective address range is 18-bit (256K words); supports full synchronous addressing. |
| I/O0L–I/O35L / I/O0R–I/O35R | Bidirectional data bus (36-bit) | Byte-enableable (BE0–BE3) for 9-bit granularity writes; tri-state controlled by OEL/OER and CE. |
| CE0L/CE1L / CE0R/CE1R | Dual chip enables | Enable depth expansion: CE0L+CE1L = L/H enables left port; allows stacking without glue logic. |
| PL/FTL / PL/FTR | Output mode select | VIH = pipelined (3.6ns tCD2), VIL = flow-through (12ns tCD1); configures latency vs. determinism trade-off. |
| INTL / INTR / COLL / COLR | Arbitration status flags | Open-drain outputs signal port collision or interrupt events; require external pull-ups for system-level handshaking. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True dual-port memory cells | Enables simultaneous read/write to identical addresses-critical for lock-free FIFOs and shared-memory inter-process communication. |
| Dual-cycle deselect (DCD) | Prevents metastability during rapid port disable; ensures clean power-down transitions in pipelined mode. |
| Independent port voltage selection | OPTL/OPTR pins configure each port for 2.5V or 3.3V I/O levels-supports heterogeneous ASIC/FPGA interfacing. |
| Address counter with repeat | REPEATL/REPEATR resets counter to last ADS-loaded address-simplifies burst sequential access without host CPU intervention. |
| Low-power sleep mode | ZZL/ZZR assertion reduces dynamic current to ≤15mA (industrial) while preserving JTAG accessibility for debug. |
Applications
| Telecom Packet Buffering | FPGA Co-Processor Interconnect |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1362BV33-166AXC | 166MHz, 256K × 36, 3.3V core/I/O; no separate VDD/VDDQ rails; lacks JTAG and REPEAT counter. | Requires external level-shifting for 2.5V FPGA interfaces; no hardware address repeat for burst reads. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs mixed-voltage flexibility and advanced arbitration features. |
| IDT70V9269L166PFI | 166MHz, 256K × 36, 3.3V-only I/O; 208-pin PQFP; no pipelined mode; higher tCD1 (15ns vs. 12ns). | Not suitable for space-constrained BGA layouts; lacks PL/FT mode for latency-critical paths. | Choose only for legacy through-hole assembly or when JTAG and sleep mode are unnecessary. |
Compared with CY7C1362BV33-166AXC and IDT70V9269L166PFI, the 70T3599S166BF8 uniquely combines industrial temperature support, dual-voltage I/O per port, pipelined output mode, and JTAG-all in a 256-pin BGA-making it optimal for new designs requiring mixed-signal interoperability and deterministic latency.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 70T3599S166BF8 under industrial temperature conditions?
The 70T3599S166BF8 is rated for 166MHz operation across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), delivering guaranteed 3.6ns clock-to-data valid (tCD2) in pipelined mode. This specification is validated per datasheet Table 11 and applies specifically to the BF8 suffix variant in 256-pin BGA packaging.
Does the 70T3599S166BF8 support independent voltage selection for its left and right ports?
Yes, the 70T3599S166BF8 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 I/O levels with VDDQL = 3.3V; setting OPTR = VSS (0V) configures the right port for 2.5V I/O levels with VDDQR = 2.5V-enabling mixed-voltage system integration.
How does the address counter and REPEAT feature function in the 70T3599S166BF8?
In the 70T3599S166BF8, the address counter advances on the rising CLK edge when CNTENL/R = VIL. When REPEATL/R is asserted, the counter resets to the last valid address loaded via ADSL/R-enabling automatic burst sequential access without host CPU address updates. This behavior is defined in Truth Table III and requires initialization via ADS during power-up.
What package type and pin count does the 70T3599S166BF8 use?
The 70T3599S166BF8 uses a 256-pin Ball Grid Array (BGA) package, designated BC256 or BCG256, with a 17mm × 17mm body and 1.0mm ball pitch. Pin A17 is No Connect (NC) for this specific variant, as confirmed in the Pin Configuration diagrams and Notes section of the datasheet.
Is JTAG boundary-scan supported on the 70T3599S166BF8, and what standard does it comply with?
Yes, the 70T3599S166BF8 supports JTAG boundary-scan compliant with IEEE 1149.1. Signals TDI, TDO, TCK, TMS, and TRST are implemented per the Pin Names table, and functionality is verified in the Functional Block Diagram. JTAG remains active even during ZZ sleep mode, enabling debug and test continuity.
