Product details
Overview
70V28L20PF from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed 3.3V 64K × 16 true dual-ported static RAM with independent left/right ports, 20 ns max access time (industrial & commercial), LVTTL-compatible I/O, and on-chip semaphore/arbiration logic for multiprocessor synchronization. It enables simultaneous read/write to the same memory location in systems requiring deterministic inter-processor communication.
For engineers reviewing the 70V28L20PF datasheet, 70V28L20PF pinout, 70V28L20PF application, or 70V28L20PF equivalent, key selection criteria include BUSY arbitration timing (tBAA ≤ 20 ns), dual CE support for depth expansion, M/S-configurable master/slave operation, and integrated 8-bit semaphore flags accessible via A0–A2.
Technical Context
The 70V28L20PF implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with separate address, control, and data buses per port-no shared timing constraints between left and right sides. Its hardware arbitration uses push-pull BUSY outputs (not open-drain) and supports both address-match and chip-enable-triggered contention detection.
On-chip semaphore logic operates independently of the main memory array, using dedicated latches addressed by A0–A2 and controlled by SEM pins; interrupt flags (INTL/INTR) are set/cleared via fixed addresses FFFEH (left) and FFFFH (right), with no internal state retention across power cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 64K × 16 bits (1024 Kbit total); supports true concurrent access to identical addresses from both ports |
| Access Time (max) | 20 ns - guarantees worst-case read latency under industrial conditions (–40°C to +85°C) at 3.3V ±0.3V |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - LVTTL-compatible single-supply operation; all VCC pins must be connected |
| Standby Current (ISB3) | 0.2 mA typ. - full CMOS standby mode enabled when both CE inputs > VCC−0.2V or < 0.2V |
| Bus Width Control | Separate UBL/LBL and UBR/LBR - enables byte-level write masking for 8-bit sub-accesses without external logic |
| Arbitration Mode | M/S pin selects master (BUSY output, push-pull) or slave (BUSY input, write-inhibit) behavior - no external pull-ups required in master mode |
| Semaphore Capacity | 8 independent binary flags - written via I/O0, readable on all 16 I/O lines; accessed using A0–A2 with SEM = VIL |
Pinout & Package
70V28L20PF is housed in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP) with 0.5 mm pitch; package body measures 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm. All VCC and GND pins must be connected per datasheet Note 1–2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CE0L, CE1L / CE0R, CE1R | Dual chip enable inputs per port | Enable depth expansion without external logic; either CE active selects port - TTL- or CMOS-level compatible |
| R/WL, R/WR | Read/write direction control | Active-low; determines data flow direction during CE-enabled cycles - no bus turnaround delay required |
| OEL, OER | Output enable per port | Tri-states I/O drivers independently; allows one port to drive while other reads/writes without contention |
| SEML, SEMR | Semaphore enable | Low-active; switches port operation between RAM array (SEM = VIH) and semaphore register (SEM = VIL) |
| BUSYL, BUSYR | Arbitration status flag | Push-pull output (master) or input (slave); asserts when opposing port accesses same address - gates writes internally if low |
| INTL, INTR | Interrupt flag output | Open-collector compatible (per datasheet Note 2); asserted when opposite port writes to FFFEH (INTL) or FFFFH (INTR) |
| UBL, LBL / UBR, LBR | Upper/lower byte select | Independent 8-bit masking - enables mixed-width transactions (e.g., 8-bit peripheral + 16-bit CPU on same bus) |
| A0L–A15L / A0R–A15R | Address inputs | Fully independent 16-bit addressing per port; no shared address lines - eliminates inter-port timing skew |
| I/O0L–I/O15L / I/O0R–I/O15R | Bidirectional data I/O | 16-bit parallel interface per port; supports simultaneous read/write with automatic conflict resolution via BUSY |
| M/S | Master/slave configuration | VIH = master (BUSY outputs); VIL = slave (BUSY inputs); determines arbitration role in cascaded systems |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True dual-port memory cells | Enables deterministic, cycle-accurate simultaneous access to identical memory locations - no arbitration wait states incurred |
| Hardware semaphore logic | Eight dedicated binary flags accessible via A0–A2; eliminates software-only spinlocks and reduces inter-processor latency by >50% in token-passing protocols |
| Configurable BUSY arbitration | M/S pin selects master (push-pull BUSY output) or slave (BUSY input) mode - supports scalable multi-device arrays without external logic |
| Byte-selectable write control | UBL/LBL and UBR/LBR allow independent 8-bit writes per port - avoids read-modify-write cycles for partial updates |
| Automatic power-down | CE-driven standby draws only 0.2 mA typ. (ISB3); enables dynamic power gating in burst-mode embedded systems |
| Industrial temperature range | Rated for –40°C to +85°C operation - qualified for use in motor drives, industrial PLCs, and outdoor communications equipment |
Applications
| Real-Time Motion Control | Multi-Core DSP Co-Processing |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 70V28L20PF acts as deterministic shared memory buffer with hardware semaphore coordination - eliminates race conditions during trajectory update handoffs. Use Value: Enables sub-microsecond inter-controller synchronization without software overhead; BUSY arbitration ensures zero-data-loss writes during simultaneous access. |
Use Scenario: Dual SHARC or C6000 DSPs exchange FFT coefficients and filter taps in real-time audio processing pipelines. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 70V28L20PF serves as low-latency, non-blocking memory bridge - left port handles DMA from ADC, right port feeds FIR engine. Use Value: 20 ns access time sustains 50+ MB/s sustained throughput; independent byte enables allow asymmetric data packing (e.g., 24-bit audio samples into 16-bit bus). |
| Redundant Safety PLC Memory | High-Speed Test Equipment Data Buffer |
Use Scenario: Primary and backup safety controllers maintain mirrored process state in SIL-3-certified programmable logic controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 70V28L20PF provides fault-tolerant dual-port storage where each controller owns one port - semaphores coordinate safe state transitions. Use Value: Hardware-enforced mutual exclusion prevents conflicting writes; M/S configuration allows primary to act as master with BUSY-driven failover signaling. |
Use Scenario: Automated test equipment captures high-speed digital patterns (≥100 MHz) and streams to host PC via PCIe - requires burst buffering with minimal latency. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 70V28L20PF functions as ping-pong buffer: left port accepts pattern generator output, right port feeds PCIe DMA engine. Use Value: Simultaneous read/write capability eliminates pipeline stalls; 100-pin TQFP supports dense PCB layout with matched trace lengths for signal integrity. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range supported by the 70V28L20PF?
The 70V28L20PF is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is explicitly confirmed in the "Features" section and "Recommended DC Operating Conditions" table of the official datasheet (DSC-4849/8, June 2019), and applies to both commercial and industrial speed grades of the 70V28L20PF device.
How does the M/S pin affect BUSY pin functionality in the 70V28L20PF?
When M/S = VIH, the 70V28L20PF operates as a master: BUSYL and BUSYR become push-pull outputs that assert low during address-contention events. When M/S = VIL, it operates as a slave: BUSYL and BUSYR become inputs that must be held high for normal operation or pulled low to inhibit writes - no external pull-up resistors needed in master mode.
Can the 70V28L20PF perform simultaneous read and write operations on the same memory address?
Yes - the 70V28L20PF supports true simultaneous access to the same memory location. If both ports attempt a read/write to the same address, the BUSY logic asserts to stall the later access, while the earlier access proceeds. This behavior is guaranteed by the on-chip arbitration logic and documented in the "Busy Logic" section and timing waveforms (e.g., Figure 11).
What are the valid address ranges for interrupt flag control in the 70V28L20PF?
The 70V28L20PF uses fixed addresses for interrupt control: writing to FFFEH (hex) with the right port sets the left-port interrupt flag (INTL), and reading FFFEH with the left port clears it. Writing to FFFFH with the left port sets the right-port flag (INTR), and reading FFFFH with the right port clears it - as defined in Truth Table IV.
Does the 70V28L20PF require external pull-up resistors on its BUSY or INT pins?
No - the 70V28L20PF's BUSY pins (BUSYL/BUSYR) are push-pull outputs in master mode and do not require external pull-ups. The INT pins (INTL/INTR) are specified as non-tri-state totem-pole outputs per Note 2 in the "Features" section, confirming they drive actively high/low without external biasing components.
