Product details
Overview
70V27S15BF from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed 3.3V 32K × 16 dual-port static RAM with true dual-ported memory cells enabling simultaneous access to the same address, 15 ns maximum read cycle time (tRC), LVTTL-compatible I/O, and on-chip port arbitration logic - used in real-time embedded systems requiring deterministic inter-processor communication.
For engineers reviewing the 70V27S15BF datasheet, 70V27S15BF pinout, 70V27S15BF application, or 70V27S15BF equivalent, this page delivers verified specifications, functional pin mapping, industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), and validated alternative parts for bus-width expansion, semaphore-based synchronization, and master/slave memory configurations.
Technical Context
The 70V27S15BF implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with independent left/right control paths, supporting concurrent read/write operations without external arbitration logic. It integrates dedicated BUSY/INT flag outputs, full hardware semaphore signaling across eight flags (A0–A2 addressed), and Master/Slave select (M/S) for cascaded 32-bit+ data bus expansion.
Its CMOS-based design operates at 3.3V ±0.3V with TTL-compatible thresholds, features separate upper-byte (UB) and lower-byte (LB) enables for flexible bus matching, and supports four standby modes (ISB1–ISB4) controlled by CE0/CE1 logic levels and input voltage states.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress CY7C028V-15AXC | Same 32K × 16 organization, 15 ns access, but uses 3.3V core + 2.5V I/O; requires level-shifting for pure 3.3V systems | Designed for mixed-voltage SoC interfaces; lacks integrated M/S cascading logic | Select when interfacing with 2.5V FPGAs; avoid if board uses only 3.3V rails and requires native master/slave expansion |
| Renesas R1EX24032AS0C-15 | 15 ns access, industrial temp, but only supports asynchronous single-port mode unless paired with external arbitration logic | Requires external gates for dual-port arbitration; doubles PCB area and increases signal routing complexity | Choose only for cost-sensitive designs where dual-port concurrency is infrequent; not suitable for real-time deterministic use cases |
Compared with CY7C028V-15AXC and R1EX24032AS0C-15, the 70V27S15BF delivers native hardware arbitration, unified 3.3V operation, and M/S-configurable cascading - reducing BOM count, layout risk, and firmware complexity in tightly coupled multiprocessing systems.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for the 70V27S15BF?
The 70V27S15BF operates strictly within 3.0 V to 3.6 V (3.3 V ±0.3 V). It is not 5V-tolerant, and applying voltages outside this range may cause permanent damage. All DC electrical characteristics - including VIH (2.0 V min), VIL (0.8 V max), and output drive strength - are specified and tested only within this window.
Does the 70V27S15BF support true simultaneous read/write to the same memory location?
Yes, the 70V27S15BF implements true dual-ported memory cells that allow concurrent access to identical addresses from left and right ports. This capability is fundamental to its architecture and enables deterministic inter-processor communication without software locks - confirmed by functional block diagram and truth table behavior in the official datasheet.
How does the BUSY signal function in Master vs. Slave configuration on the 70V27S15BF?
When M/S = VIH, the 70V27S15BF operates as Master: BUSYL and BUSYR are push-pull outputs asserting during address contention. When M/S = VIL, it operates as Slave: BUSYL and BUSYR become inputs that inhibit writes when driven low by a Master - a hardware-enforced arbitration mechanism documented in Truth Table V and timing waveforms.
Can the 70V27S15BF be used in a 32-bit data path without external logic?
Yes. The 70V27S15BF supports native 32-bit expansion via Master/Slave cascading: two devices can be configured with M/S = VIH (Master) and M/S = VIL (Slave), using BUSY handshake and dedicated CE0/CE1 enables - eliminating need for discrete logic, as explicitly stated in the device description and functional block diagram.
What is the purpose of the semaphore feature in the 70V27S15BF?
The 70V27S15BF provides eight hardware semaphore flags accessed via A0–A2 and controlled by SEM pins. These flags are written via I/O0 and read across all 16 I/O lines - enabling atomic resource locking between ports without CPU intervention. This functionality is verified in Truth Table VI and timing diagrams for semaphore read/write cycles.
