Product details
Overview
71321LA25J from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) is a high-speed 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM with interrupt and BUSY arbitration logic, designed as a MASTER device for interprocessor communication in real-time embedded systems. It delivers 25 ns max read cycle time, 1 µA full-standby current at 2 V, and supports battery-backed data retention - enabling use in fault-tolerant industrial controllers where concurrent access and deterministic arbitration are critical.
For engineers reviewing the 71321LA25J datasheet, 71321LA25J pinout, 71321LA25J application, or 71321LA25J equivalent, key selection considerations include its master-mode arbitration logic, dual-interrupt flag architecture (INTL/INTR), 2V data retention capability, and compatibility with IDT71421SLAVE devices in 16-bit+ memory expansions.
Technical Context
The 71321LA25J implements fully asynchronous dual-port operation with independent left/right address, control, and I/O buses. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves port contention using chip-enable and address-match timing (tAPS = 5 ns), asserting open-drain BUSYL/BUSYR outputs to inhibit writes during conflict - no external logic required.
Interrupt functionality uses dedicated mailbox addresses (7FEH for INTL, 7FFH for INTR) with set/reset timing tINS/tINR ≤ 25 ns. The LA variant integrates ultra-low-power CMOS design, enabling 2 V battery backup with 100–1500 µA retention current and guaranteed data hold over –40°C to +85°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2K × 8 bits (2048 words × 8-bit wide), supporting independent concurrent read/write on left and right ports |
| Access Time | 25 ns max read cycle time - enables synchronization with 40 MHz bus clocks in real-time control loops |
| Standby Current | 1 µA (ISB3, full standby, CMOS inputs) - allows continuous battery backup without significant drain |
| Data Retention | 2.0 V minimum VCC - supports direct connection to coin-cell batteries for nonvolatile state preservation |
| Operating Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V (TTL-compatible) - interoperable with legacy 5 V microcontroller and FPGA I/O domains |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C industrial grade - qualified for deployment in motor drives, PLCs, and telecom line cards |
| Interrupt Timing | tINS/tINR ≤ 25 ns - ensures sub-30 ns response for time-critical inter-core signaling in dual-CPU architectures |
Pinout & Package
71321LA25J is packaged in a 52-pin STQFP (PPG52), measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, with exposed thermal pad and lead-free RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side memory access; supports full 2K addressing independently of right port |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit TTL-compatible I/O; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH |
| CEL, OEL, R/WL | Left port controls | Chip enable, output enable, and read/write direction - fully asynchronous with no clock required |
| INTL, BUSYL | Left port interrupt & arbitration | INTL is push-pull interrupt flag; BUSYL is open-drain arbitration output requiring 270 Ω pull-up |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | Independent 11-bit address space - enables true parallel access without software serialization |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | Electrically isolated from left I/O - eliminates bus contention and signal coupling |
| CER, OER, R/WR | Right port controls | Functionally identical to left controls but with separate timing domains and arbitration paths |
| INTR, BUSYR | Right port interrupt & arbitration | INTR is push-pull; BUSYR is open-drain - enables symmetric dual-interrupt, dual-BUSY signaling |
| VCC, GND | Power supply | Multiple VCC/GND pins distributed across package - ensures stable 5 V delivery and low-noise operation |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C024AV-25AXC | 3.3 V only; no 2 V data retention; 25 ns access but higher ISB (5 µA) | Requires level-shifting in 5 V systems; unsuitable for battery-retention designs | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and external retention is acceptable |
| IDT71421LA25J | SLAVE-only device; BUSY input (not output); no on-chip arbitration logic | Must be paired with 71321LA25J in MASTER/SLAVE configuration for width expansion | Use exclusively as companion SLAVE in 16-bit+ memory systems - not standalone replacement |
Compared with CY7C024AV-25AXC and IDT71421LA25J, the 71321LA25J uniquely combines 5 V operation, 2 V battery retention, and autonomous MASTER arbitration - making it irreplaceable in legacy 5 V industrial controllers requiring zero-software inter-core coordination.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 71321LA25J?
The 71321LA25J is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is production-tested and guaranteed across all electrical specifications including 25 ns access time, 1 µA full-standby current, and 2 V data retention - making it suitable for deployment in harsh environments such as factory automation and outdoor telecom equipment.
Does the 71321LA25J support true dual-port concurrent access without arbitration delay?
Yes - the 71321LA25J supports fully asynchronous, independent read/write access on left and right ports. Arbitration delay occurs only during actual address contention; otherwise, both ports operate at full 25 ns speed with no performance penalty. The tAPS = 5 ns arbitration priority setup time ensures deterministic resolution when conflicts arise.
How does the 2 V data retention feature work in the 71321LA25J?
The 71321LA25J maintains stored data at VCC = 2.0 V with ICCDR ≤ 1500 µA (commercial) or ≤ 4000 µA (industrial). This is achieved via optimized low-voltage CMOS design - no external circuitry is needed. Data remains valid indefinitely as long as VCC stays ≥ 2.0 V, enabling direct coin-cell backup without voltage regulators or supervisors.
Can the 71321LA25J be used without external pull-up resistors on BUSY pins?
No - BUSYL and BUSYR are open-drain outputs requiring external 270 Ω pull-up resistors to VCC, as specified in the datasheet (Note 2, Functional Block Diagram). Omitting these resistors prevents proper HIGH-level assertion, causing arbitration failure and potential data corruption during port contention.
What memory addresses are used for interrupt flag control in the 71321LA25J?
The 71321LA25J uses fixed mailbox addresses: writing to 7FEH (2046dec) with CER/R/WR = VIL asserts INTL; reading 7FEH with CEL/OEL = VIL clears it. Similarly, 7FFH (2047dec) controls INTR. These locations remain accessible as general RAM if interrupts are unused - no address space is permanently reserved.
