Product details
Overview
70T3599S166DR 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 on independent left and right ports. It operates at 166MHz (3.6ns access), supports selectable 2.5V or 3.3V I/O interfaces per port, and features pipelined/flow-through output modes, JTAG IEEE 1149.1 compliance, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It is used in real-time packet buffering for telecom line cards.
For engineers reviewing the 70T3599S166DR datasheet, 70T3599S166DR pinout, 70T3599S166DR application, or 70T3599S166DR equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port timing coordination, VDDQ voltage configuration per port, sleep mode (ZZ) behavior, and 208-pin PQFP package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements fully synchronous operation on both ports with register-controlled address, data, and control inputs-enabling minimal setup/hold times (1.5ns setup, 0.5ns hold @200MHz) and 5ns cycle time capability. Its dual-chip-enable architecture allows seamless depth expansion without external logic, while counter enable (CNTEN) and repeat (REPEAT) signals support burst-mode address generation.
The memory integrates interrupt and collision detection logic, with dedicated INTL/INTR and COLL/COLR flags signaling concurrent access conflicts. Power management includes three standby modes (ISB1–ISB4) and a low-current sleep mode (Izz ≤ 15mA) activated via ZZL/ZZR pins, independent of JTAG functionality.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
208-pin PQFP (DR208 package), 28mm × 28mm × 3.5mm body with 0.5mm lead pitch. All VDD pins require 2.5V; VDDQ pins must be supplied at 2.5V or 3.3V depending on OPT pin state per port; all VSS pins connect to ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKL / CLKR | Port-synchronous clock input | Drives internal registers on rising edge; determines timing reference for all port operations |
| A0L–A16L / A0R–A16R | Address inputs | 17-bit address bus per port; A17 is no-connect for 70T3599 (not used in 256K addressing) |

| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write direction control | Asynchronous control signal; defines data flow direction per port on each cycle |
| OEL / OER | Output enable | Asynchronous tri-state control; overrides output drivers regardless of clock or CE state |
| PL/FTL / PL/FTR | Pipeline/flow-through mode select | DC-level input selecting output latency mode: pipelined (1-cycle delay) or flow-through (no delay) |
| ZZL / ZZR | Sleep mode enable | Asserted high disables dynamic inputs (except JTAG); reduces current to ≤15mA; static inputs remain functional |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True dual-port memory cells | Enables concurrent read/write to identical addresses across ports-critical for handshake-free inter-processor communication |
| Dual-cycle deselect (DCD) | Prevents metastability during rapid chip disable by requiring two clock cycles to deassert CE, ensuring clean bus release |
| Configurable I/O voltage per port | OPTL/OPTR pins independently set 2.5V or 3.3V interface levels-allows mixed-voltage system integration without level shifters |
| Integrated collision detection | COLL/COLR outputs assert within 4.2ns when simultaneous writes target same address-enables hardware arbitration without software overhead |
| JTAG boundary scan (IEEE 1149.1) | Supported in BGA packages (BC256/BFG208); not available in DR208 PQFP due to pin count limitation |
Applications
| Telecom Packet Buffering | Industrial PLC Data Exchange |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Storing and forwarding variable-length Ethernet frames between ingress and egress MAC layers in carrier-grade switches. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port SRAM acts as zero-latency shared buffer; left port accepts incoming packets while right port services transmit engine.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT70T3599S166BG | 256-pin BGA package (BC256); supports JTAG; same electrical specs and timing | Requires PCB redesign for BGA layout; preferred for new designs needing boundary scan testability | Choose when JTAG debug visibility and higher pin-count routing flexibility are required over legacy PQFP compatibility |
| Cypress CY7C1362AV25-166AXC | 166MHz 256K×36 sync DPRAM; 3.3V-only I/O; no per-port voltage selection or sleep mode (ZZ) | Lacks independent VDDQ control and low-power sleep-unsuitable for mixed-voltage or battery-backed systems | Consider only if system uses uniform 3.3V I/O and does not require power-gated idle states |
Compared with IDT70T3599S166BG, the 70T3599S166DR offers drop-in replacement in existing PQFP footprints but omits JTAG; versus CY7C1362AV25-166AXC, it delivers per-port voltage flexibility and hardware sleep control essential for heterogeneous power domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency of the 70T3599S166DR?
The 70T3599S166DR is rated for 166MHz operation across the industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). This corresponds to a minimum clock cycle time of 6ns in pipelined mode and guarantees 3.6ns maximum access time. It is not qualified for 200MHz operation-only the S200 variants (e.g., 70T3599S200DR) support that speed grade.
Does the 70T3599S166DR support JTAG boundary scan?
No, the 70T3599S166DR in the 208-pin PQFP (DR208) package does not support JTAG boundary scan. The datasheet explicitly states "Due to limited pin count, JTAG is not supported in the DR208 package." JTAG is available only in BGA variants like 70T3599S166BG (BC256).
How do the OPTL and OPTR pins configure I/O voltage levels on the 70T3599S166DR?
On the 70T3599S166DR, OPTL sets the left port's I/O voltage: VIH = 2.5V selects 3.3V operation (requiring VDDQL = 3.3V), while VIL = 0V selects 2.5V operation (requiring VDDQL = 2.5V). OPTR performs the identical function for the right port. Both ports can operate at different voltages simultaneously.
What happens to the 70T3599S166DR when the ZZL or ZZR pin is asserted?
When ZZL or ZZR is driven high on the 70T3599S166DR, the corresponding port enters sleep mode: all dynamic inputs (except JTAG pins) are disabled, reducing current draw to ≤15mA. Static inputs (PL/FT, OPT, ZZ itself) remain active. The port retains memory contents but halts clock-driven operations until ZZ is deasserted.
Is A17 a functional address pin on the 70T3599S166DR?
No, A17 is a no-connect (NC) pin on the 70T3599S166DR. The device implements 256K × 36 organization, which requires only 17 address bits (A0–A16) for 131,072 words; A17 is unused and must be left unconnected. This is explicitly noted in the datasheet footnote on page 3: "Address A17 is a NC for the IDT70T3599."
