Product details
Overview
IDT71321LA20TF from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM with interrupt and BUSY arbitration logic, designed as a MASTER device for interprocessor communication systems. It delivers 20 ns max read cycle time, 2V data retention in battery backup mode, industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C), and supports fully asynchronous dual-port access. It is used in real-time embedded control systems requiring concurrent memory access by two independent processors.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71321LA20TF datasheet, IDT71321LA20TF pinout, IDT71321LA20TF application, or IDT71321LA20TF equivalent, key selection criteria include its MASTER arbitration capability, 2V data retention, 52-pin STQFP package, and compatibility with IDT71421SLAVE devices in 16-bit+ memory expansions.
Technical Context
The IDT71321LA20TF implements on-chip port arbitration logic that resolves contention when both ports access the same address simultaneously - asserting BUSYL/BUSYR outputs to inhibit writes on the losing port. Its interrupt logic uses dedicated mailbox addresses (7FEH for INTL, 7FFH for INTR) to signal cross-port events without software polling.
It operates with TTL-compatible 5V ±10% supply, features open-drain BUSY/INT outputs requiring 270Ω pull-ups, and supports full standby current as low as 0.2 mA (typ.) under CMOS-level inputs. The LA variant enables battery backup with 2V data retention and 100–1500 µA retention current.

Pinout & Package
Package: 52-pin STQFP (PPG52), 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm body, gull-wing lead form, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side processor; accesses full 2K space (000–7FFH). |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | Independent 11-bit address bus for right-side processor; fully asynchronous with left port. |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit parallel I/O; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH. |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | 8-bit parallel I/O; electrically isolated from left port I/O lines. |
| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; controls power-down mode and arbitration timing. |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low enables data drivers; separates read/write control from chip select. |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | Active-low write; high = read; determines direction of I/O bus traffic per port. |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | BUSY flag (output only) | Open-drain outputs indicating port arbitration loss; require external 270Ω pull-up to VCC. |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags (output) | Open-drain outputs signaling mailbox writes (7FEH/7FFH); also require 270Ω pull-up. |
| VCC / GND | Power supply pins | Multiple VCC (pins 18, 27, 40, 47) and GND (pins 21, 33, 45, 52) ensure low-noise decoupling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip arbitration logic | Resolves simultaneous same-address access without external logic; guarantees deterministic BUSY assertion. |
| Dual interrupt mailboxes | Hardware-triggered INTL/INTR via dedicated SRAM locations (7FEH, 7FFH) eliminates polling overhead. |
| 2V data retention | Preserves memory contents during main power failure using low-voltage battery backup (LA variant only). |
| Master-only BUSY output | BUSYL/BUSYR are outputs only on IDT71321LA20TF - enables use as master in MASTER/SLAVE configurations. |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Independent control/address/I/O per port allows true concurrent read/write across processors with no clock synchronization. |
Applications

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 CY7C024AV-20AXC | 2K × 16 organization; 20 ns access; no built-in BUSY arbitration; requires external logic for contention resolution. | Best suited for simpler dual-CPU systems where arbitration is handled in firmware or external CPLD. | Select when wider data bus (16-bit) is required and arbitration complexity can be managed externally. |
| ISSI IS61LV25616AL-20TQLI | 256K × 16 sync SRAM; 20 ns; synchronous interface only; no dual-port or interrupt logic. | Requires clocked interface and external arbitration; not drop-in compatible for asynchronous dual-access use cases. | Choose only if migrating to synchronous architecture and redesigning control logic is acceptable. |
Compared with CY7C024AV-20AXC and IS61LV25616AL-20TQLI, the IDT71321LA20TF uniquely integrates hardware arbitration and interrupt mailboxes in an asynchronous 2K × 8 format - eliminating external logic, reducing BOM count, and guaranteeing deterministic timing in real-time interprocessor communication.

FAQ
What is the function of BUSYL and BUSYR on the IDT71321LA20TF?
BUSYL and BUSYR are open-drain output signals indicating arbitration loss on the left or right port, respectively. When both ports attempt to write to the same address, the IDT71321LA20TF asserts the losing port's BUSY signal to inhibit the write. These outputs require external 270Ω pull-up resistors to VCC and are used exclusively in MASTER configuration - unlike SLAVE devices where BUSY is an input.
Does the IDT71321LA20TF support battery backup operation?
Yes, the IDT71321LA20TF supports battery backup with guaranteed data retention at VCC ≥ 2.0 V. In retention mode, it draws as little as 100 µA (typ.) at +25°C, enabling operation from standard coin-cell batteries during main power loss. This feature is exclusive to LA variants and is not available in SA versions.
How does interrupt functionality work in the IDT71321LA20TF?
The IDT71321LA20TF uses dedicated SRAM addresses 7FEH (for INTL) and 7FFH (for INTR) as hardware mailboxes. Writing to 7FFH from the left port asserts INTR; reading 7FFH from the right port clears it. Similarly, 7FEH controls INTL. Both flags are open-drain outputs requiring 270Ω pull-ups and provide zero-software-overhead interprocessor signaling.
Can the IDT71321LA20TF be used as a SLAVE device in MASTER/SLAVE configurations?
No - the IDT71321LA20TF is strictly a MASTER device. Its BUSYL and BUSYR pins are outputs only, and it contains on-chip arbitration logic required for MASTER operation. To build a 16-bit or wider dual-port memory, pair IDT71321LA20TF with IDT71421SLAVE devices, where BUSY becomes an input used to inhibit writes.
What package type is used for the IDT71321LA20TF?
The IDT71321LA20TF is packaged in a 52-pin STQFP (Surface-Mount Thin Quad Flat Package), also designated PPG52. It measures 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm with gull-wing leads, optimized for automated SMT assembly and thermal performance in industrial environments.
