Product details
Overview
70V08L20PFI8 from IDT (now Renesas) is a high-speed, 3.3V, 64K × 8 true dual-ported static RAM with independent left/right ports, 20 ns max access time (industrial grade), LVTTL-compatible I/O, and on-chip semaphore/arbitration logic. It enables simultaneous read/write access to the same memory location in real-time interprocessor communication systems.
For engineers reviewing the 70V08L20PFI8 datasheet, 70V08L20PFI8 pinout, 70V08L20PFI8 application, or 70V08L20PFI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port arbitration timing (tAPS = 5 ns), BUSY flag behavior under M/S control, semaphore flag update pulse (tSOP = 10 ns), and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The 70V08L20PFI8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port operation with separate address, data, and control buses per port. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves contention via push-pull BUSY flags and supports both address-match and CE-controlled arbitration modes (tBAA/tBAC ≤ 20 ns).
It integrates dedicated semaphore registers (8 flags, addressed by A0–A2) accessible when CE = VIH and SEM = VIL, with tSAA ≤ 20 ns and tSOP = 10 ns. Interrupt signaling uses fixed mailbox addresses (FFFEH/FFFFH), with tINS ≤ 20 ns and tINR ≤ 20 ns for flag assertion/clearing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 64K × 8 bits (512 Kbit), true dual-port SRAM with independent left/right arrays |
| Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns max - guarantees full-speed operation in industrial-temp 16-bit bus systems without wait states |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - single LVTTL-compatible rail; eliminates level-shifting in 3.3V system designs |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded control, motor drives, and telecom line cards |
| Standby Current (ISB3) | 0.2 mA typ - ultra-low power full standby mode with CMOS-level inputs (VIN < 0.2 V or > VDD – 0.2 V) |
| Bus Contention Resolution | Hardware semaphore + BUSY flag arbitration - enables deterministic, lock-free interprocessor synchronization without external logic |
| Package | 100-pin TQFP (14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles |
Pinout & Package

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 70V08L20PFI8?
The 70V08L20PFI8 is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is verified per the device's DC and AC electrical characteristics tables and applies across all supported speed grades and functional modes, including semaphore, interrupt, and BUSY arbitration operations.
Does the 70V08L20PFI8 support true simultaneous read/write to the same memory address?
Yes, the 70V08L20PFI8 implements true dual-ported SRAM cells that permit independent, asynchronous read and write operations to the exact same memory location from its left and right ports - a core capability confirmed in the Functional Description and Truth Table II of the official datasheet.
How does the M/S pin affect BUSY signal behavior on the 70V08L20PFI8?
When M/S = VIH, BUSYL and BUSYR function as push-pull outputs indicating port contention; when M/S = VIL, they become inputs that inhibit writes on the respective port. This dual-role configuration enables flexible master/slave cascading in multi-device systems, as defined in Notes 1 and 2 of the Functional Block Diagram.
What is the purpose of the SEM pins on the 70V08L20PFI8?
The SEML and SEMR pins enable access to the on-chip 8-bit semaphore register file. When SEM = VIL and CE = VIH, the device routes I/O0–I/O7 to semaphore flags (addressed by A0–A2), supporting atomic resource locking - a feature distinct from main memory access and critical for deadlock-free multiprocessing.
Can the 70V08L20PFI8 be used in a 16-bit data bus configuration?
Yes, the 70V08L20PFI8 supports 16-bit expansion via MASTER/SLAVE cascading using the M/S pin. Two devices can be configured so one operates as master (BUSY output) and the other as slave (BUSY input), enabling full-speed 16-bit word access without external logic, as detailed in the Description and Features sections.
