Product details
Overview
70V24L20JGI8 from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) is a high-speed, low-power 4K x 16 true dual-port static RAM with independent left/right asynchronous ports, 20 ns maximum access time, 3.3 V ±0.3 V single supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports simultaneous read/write operations across ports and is used in real-time inter-processor communication, FPGA co-processing buffers, and legacy bus arbitration systems.
For engineers reviewing the 70V24L20JGI8 datasheet, 70V24L20JGI8 pinout, 70V24L20JGI8 application, or 70V24L20JGI8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated PLCC-84 pin mapping, confirmed standby power (660 µW typ.), dual-port arbitration logic behavior, and industrial-grade timing compliance - all extracted from IDT's official DSC-5624/10 datasheet (October 2019).
Technical Context
The 70V24L24L20JGI8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with on-chip port arbitration, semaphore signaling (8 flags via A0–A2), and MASTER/SLAVE cascading capability using M/S pin. Its internal logic enables concurrent access without external glue logic, and BUSY/INT flags provide hardware handshaking for deterministic inter-port coordination.
It operates exclusively at 3.3 V with LVTTL-compatible I/Os, features separate upper-byte (UBR/UBL) and lower-byte (LBR/LBL) controls for multiplexed bus compatibility, and uses CMOS high-performance fabrication yielding 400 mW typical active power and 660 µW typical standby power - optimized for embedded systems requiring deterministic latency and low quiescent consumption.

Pinout & Package
70V24L20JGI8 is housed in an 84-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC, package code PLG84), with dimensions approximately 1.15 in × 1.15 in × 0.17 in. All VDD pins require local 3.3 V decoupling; all VSS pins must be solidly grounded. A12 is No Connect (NC) per datasheet Note 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low per-port enable - allows independent power gating and selective port activation |

| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Input/Output) | Configurable as input (Slave) or output (Master) - provides hardware flow control for write collision avoidance |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag | Open-drain push-pull output - signals cross-port event completion (e.g., semaphore update or write finish) |
| A0L–A11L, A0R–A11R | Address Inputs | 12-bit addressing per port - maps to 4K depth; A12 is NC per datasheet |
| I/O0L–I/O7L, I/O0R–I/O7R | Data I/O (Lower Byte) | 8-bit bidirectional data path - matches standard 8-bit peripheral interfaces |
| I/O8L–I/O15L, I/O8R–I/O15R | Data I/O (Upper Byte) | 8-bit bidirectional data path - enables full 16-bit transfers when both byte enables asserted |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1362BV33-20ZXI | 4K × 16, 20 ns, 3.3 V, 100-pin TQFP - higher pin count, no PLCC option, identical timing and voltage | Requires PCB redesign due to TQFP vs. PLCC; better thermal dissipation but no through-hole option | Select when surface-mount assembly and thermal headroom are priorities over legacy board compatibility. |
| IDT70V25L20PF8 | 8K × 18, 20 ns, 3.3 V, 100-pin TQFP - larger density, wider data bus, different pinout and package | Not drop-in; supports 36-bit expansion via Master/Slave but requires layout and firmware adaptation | Choose for higher memory bandwidth needs where 4K × 16 is insufficient and TQFP mounting is acceptable. |
Compared with CY7C1362BV33-20ZXI and IDT70V25L20PF8, the 70V24L20JGI8 uniquely offers industrial-grade 84-pin PLCC packaging with verified 660 µW standby power - making it the only direct replacement for legacy through-hole dual-port designs requiring minimal board rework and guaranteed low-quiescent operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum access time specification for the 70V24L20JGI8?
The 70V24L20JGI8 has a maximum address access time (tAA) of 20 ns across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (3.3 V ±0.3 V), as specified in IDT's DSC-5624/10 datasheet Table 11d. This value is guaranteed - not typical - and applies to both read and write cycles under worst-case conditions.
Does the 70V24L20JGI8 support true simultaneous read operations from both ports?
Yes, the 70V24L20JGI8 implements true dual-port SRAM cells that allow concurrent reads from the left and right ports to the same memory location without contention or delay. This behavior is intrinsic to its architecture and does not require external arbitration - confirmed in the Functional Block Diagram and Description sections of the IDT datasheet.
What is the function of the M/S pin on the 70V24L20JGI8?
The M/S (Master/Slave) pin configures BUSY behavior: when driven high (VIH), BUSY functions as an output flag indicating port contention (Master mode); when driven low (VIL), BUSY becomes an input for cascade synchronization (Slave mode). This enables multi-device 32-bit+ memory expansion without external logic - explicitly defined in datasheet Notes 2 and 3.
Is A12 a functional pin on the 70V24L20JGI8?
No, A12 is a No Connect (NC) pin on the 70V24L20JGI8, as stated in datasheet Note 1 ("A12 is a NC for IDT70V24") and confirmed in the Pin Configurations section (page 4). It must remain unconnected and should not be tied to VDD, GND, or any signal.
What is the standby current consumption of the 70V24L20JGI8 in full standby mode?
In full standby mode (ISB3), where both ports are disabled with CMOS-level inputs and SEM enabled, the 70V24L20JGI8 consumes 660 µW typical (0.2 mA at 3.3 V), per datasheet Table 09b. This ultra-low quiescent power is achieved via complete internal circuit shutdown and is validated for industrial temperature operation.
