Product details
Overview
70V631S15BC8 from IDT (Integrated Device Technology) is a high-speed, asynchronous dual-port static RAM with 256K × 18-bit organization (4,608 Kbit), operating at 3.3 V core supply and supporting selectable 3.3 V or 2.5 V I/O voltage per port via independent OPT pins. It delivers 15 ns max read/write cycle time, on-chip port arbitration, semaphore signaling, and BUSY/INT flags - enabling real-time inter-processor communication in telecom line cards and industrial motion controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 70V631S15BC8 datasheet, 70V631S15BC8 pinout, 70V631S15BC8 application, or 70V631S15BC8 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package-specific pin mapping for the 128-pin TQFP, key timing and power parameters, and two validated alternative parts for memory expansion or voltage-flexible dual-port designs.
Technical Context
The 70V631S15BC8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with independent address, control, and data buses on left (L) and right (R) ports - permitting simultaneous, conflict-free access to the same memory location. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves contention using BUSY flag assertion (Master mode) or BUSY input sampling (Slave mode), with programmable priority via M/S pin.
Each port supports independent I/O voltage selection (3.3 V or 2.5 V) via dedicated OPTL/OPTR pins and corresponding VDDQL/VDDQR supplies. Semaphore and interrupt functions are hardware-implemented: eight semaphore flags are accessed via A0–A2 and I/O0, while INTL/INTR flags are set/cleared by writing to fixed addresses (0x3FFFE and 0x3FFFF) on the opposite port.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
70V631S15BC8 is packaged in a 128-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP), body size 14 mm × 20 mm × 1.4 mm, with 0.5 mm lead pitch. All VDD pins require 3.3 V; VDDQL/VDDQR must match OPTL/OPTR logic level (3.3 V if VIH, 2.5 V if VIL); all VSS pins connect to ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Input/Output) | Output when M/S=VIH (Master); input when M/S=VIL (Slave); signals port contention |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore Enable | Enables hardware semaphore access (A0–A2 + I/O0) for inter-processor synchronization |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag | Open-drain output; set/cleared by opposite port writing to 0x3FFFE/0x3FFFF addresses |
| M/S | Master/Slave Select | VIH configures as Master (BUSY output); VIL configures as Slave (BUSY input) |
| OPTL / OPTR | I/O Voltage Option | VIH selects 3.3 V I/O levels; VIL selects 2.5 V I/O levels; sets VDDQL/VDDQR requirement |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1362BV18-167BZC | 167 MHz synchronous interface; requires clock and control sequencing; no per-port I/O voltage selection | Best suited for clocked FPGA-based systems where deterministic burst transfers outweigh flexibility needs | Choose when system already uses synchronous memory controllers and 2.5 V/3.3 V mixing is not required |
| AS7C3256A-15JCIN | Single-port, 32K × 8 organization; no BUSY/semaphore logic; 15 ns access but no arbitration hardware | Applicable only in non-contention scenarios with external arbitration or software-managed access | Choose only for cost-sensitive, low-complexity designs lacking real-time inter-processor coordination requirements |
Compared with CY7C1362BV18-167BZC and AS7C3256A-15JCIN, the 70V631S15BC8 uniquely combines asynchronous operation, per-port voltage flexibility, and integrated hardware arbitration - making it irreplaceable in mixed-voltage, real-time embedded systems requiring guaranteed contention resolution without software overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 70V631S15BC8?
The 70V631S15BC8 is rated for commercial temperature operation from 0°C to +70°C. It is not specified for industrial range (–40°C to +85°C); that grade is available under different suffixes (e.g., 70V631S12BC8I). The 'C' in BC8 denotes commercial grade, and the '15' specifies 15 ns access time.
Does the 70V631S15BC8 support JTAG boundary-scan testing?
No, the 70V631S15BC8 does not support JTAG. Although the device includes TDI, TDO, TCK, TMS, and TRST pins, the datasheet explicitly states: "Due to limited pin count, JTAG is not supported on the 128-pin TQFP package." These pins are no-connect (NC) in the 70V631S15BC8 variant.
How does the BUSY arbitration work when both ports attempt simultaneous access to the same address?
When both ports access the same address, the 70V631S15BC8 asserts BUSY on the later-arriving port within ≤15 ns (tBDD). If configured as Master (M/S = VIH), BUSY is driven high to block the second port's write; if Slave (M/S = VIL), BUSY is sampled as input to stall the local write. Priority is determined by arrival time, not port identity.
Can the left and right ports of the 70V631S15BC8 operate at different I/O voltages simultaneously?
Yes. The 70V631S15BC8 supports independent I/O voltage selection: OPTL sets left-port I/O voltage (3.3 V if VIH, 2.5 V if VIL), and OPTR sets right-port I/O voltage. Corresponding VDDQL and VDDQR supplies must be set accordingly - enabling direct interfacing with mixed-voltage FPGAs or ASICs.
What is the function of the M/S pin on the 70V631S15BC8?
The M/S pin configures the 70V631S15BC8 as either Master (M/S = VIH) or Slave (M/S = VIL). In Master mode, BUSYL/BUSYR are outputs signaling contention; in Slave mode, they become inputs for receiving BUSY from a Master device. This enables hierarchical multi-chip memory expansion with automatic arbitration.
