Product details
Overview
70V631S12PRFGI from IDT (now part of Renesas) is a high-speed 256K × 18 asynchronous dual-port static RAM with fully independent left/right ports, 12 ns max access time (industrial grade), LVTTL-compatible 3.3 V core supply, and selectable 3.3 V/2.5 V I/O voltage per port via OPT pins. It enables simultaneous read/write to the same memory location in real-time inter-processor communication systems.
For engineers reviewing the 70V631S12PRFGI datasheet, 70V631S12PRFGI pinout, 70V631S12PRFGI application, or 70V631S12PRFGI equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions for the 128-pin TQFP package, industrial-grade timing specs, true dual-port arbitration behavior, and two confirmed alternative parts for memory expansion or voltage-flexible designs.
Technical Context
The 70V631S12PRFGI implements true dual-port SRAM cells with on-chip arbitration logic, supporting concurrent access without external glue logic. Its M/S pin configures master/slave operation for depth expansion, while BUSY flags coordinate contention resolution between ports.
It features full hardware semaphore signaling across both ports using A0–A2 address lines, plus interrupt flag generation at fixed addresses (3FFFEH/3FFFFH). JTAG support is excluded in the 128-pin TQFP variant due to pin count constraints, unlike larger BGA packages.
Key Specifications

| I/O Supply Voltage | Selectable 3.3 V or 2.5 V per port via OPTL/OPTR - enables mixed-voltage system interfacing without level shifters |
| Standby Current (ISB3) | 3–15 mA - ultra-low full-standby power when both chip enables are inactive and inputs are CMOS-level stable |
| Port Arbitration | Hardware-based BUSY flag with tBDD ≤12 ns - ensures atomic read-modify-write sequences during shared-memory contention |
Pinout & Package
70V631S12PRFGI is packaged in a 128-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP), body size 14 mm × 20 mm × 1.4 mm, lead pitch 0.4 mm. All VDD pins require 3.3 V supply; VDDQL/VDDQR must match OPTL/OPTR logic levels (3.3 V if VIH, 2.5 V if VIL).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A17L / A0R–A17R | Address Inputs (Left/Right) | 18-bit address bus per port; supports full 256K depth addressing independently |

| OEL / OER | Output Enable | Tri-states outputs when high; required for bus sharing in multi-device systems |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Master Output / Slave Input) | M/S=VIH → BUSYX is output; M/S=VIL → BUSYX is input; resolves port contention |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore Enable | Enables 8-bit semaphore register access via A0–A2; supports inter-processor synchronization |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag Output | Open-drain (non-tri-state totem-pole) flag asserted at fixed addresses 3FFFEH/3FFFFH |
| OPTL / OPTR | I/O Voltage Select | Configures VDDQL/VDDQR supply level: VIH → 3.3 V, VIL → 2.5 V; independent per port |
| M/S | Master/Slave Select | VIH = Master (BUSY output), VIL = Slave (BUSY input); enables daisy-chained memory expansion |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Dual-Port Architecture | Simultaneous independent read/write to identical memory locations - eliminates software locks and enables lock-free IPC |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the 70V631S12PRFGI?
The 70V631S12PRFGI is rated for industrial temperature operation from −40°C to +85°C. This specification is explicitly confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Temperature and Supply Voltage" table (page 7) and applies to the 70V631S12PRFGI variant, which uses the "S12" speed grade designation indicating 12 ns max access time under industrial conditions.
Does the 70V631S12PRFGI support JTAG boundary scan?
No, the 70V631S12PRFGI does not support JTAG. The datasheet explicitly states on page 1: "Due to limited pin count, JTAG is not supported on the 128-pin TQFP package." Since the 70V631S12PRFGI is specified with the "RFGI" suffix denoting the 128-pin TQFP industrial-grade package, JTAG functionality is omitted in this variant.
How does the M/S pin affect BUSY signal behavior in the 70V631S12PRFGI?
In the 70V631S12PRFGI, the M/S pin determines BUSY signal direction: when M/S = VIH, BUSYL/BUSYR are outputs used for master arbitration; when M/S = VIL, they become inputs for slave-side BUSY assertion. This is defined in the Pin Names table (page 5) and functional block diagram (page 1), and is essential for configuring cascaded memory systems.
Can both ports of the 70V631S12PRFGI operate at different I/O voltages simultaneously?
Yes. The 70V631S12PRFGI supports independent I/O voltage selection per port via OPTL and OPTR pins. If OPTL = VIH and OPTR = VIL, the left port operates at 3.3 V I/O levels while the right port operates at 2.5 V - enabling direct interfacing with mixed-voltage SoCs or FPGAs without external level shifters.
What is the purpose of the semaphore feature in the 70V631S12PRFGI?
The 70V631S12PRFGI includes an 8-bit hardware semaphore register accessible via A0–A2 and controlled by SEM pins. It enables atomic resource locking between processors - for example, one CPU writes to I/O0 to claim a shared peripheral, and the other reads all I/Os to detect the flag. This eliminates race conditions without software intervention.
