Product details
Overview
71321LA25PF8 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. It operates at 25 ns max access time, supports 5 V ±10% TTL-compatible supply, delivers 1 mW standby power (LA version), and enables battery-backed data retention down to 2 V. It is used in real-time embedded systems requiring concurrent read/write access across two independent CPU buses.
For engineers reviewing the 71321LA25PF8 datasheet, 71321LA25PF8 pinout, 71321LA25PF8 application, or 71321LA25PF8 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port arbitration timing (tBAA/tBDD), interrupt mailbox addressing (7FEh/7FFh), BUSY open-drain output requirements (270 Ω pull-up), and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The 71321LA25PF8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with separate address, control, and I/O pins per port-enabling simultaneous, independent access to any memory location. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves contention via BUSY flag generation based on chip enable and address match timing (tAPS = 5 ns), not R/W state.
As a MASTER device, it features open-drain BUSYL/BUSYR outputs (requiring external 270 Ω pull-ups) and dual INTL/INTR flags for port-to-port signaling. The LA variant adds 2 V data retention capability and ultra-low ISB3 = 0.2 mA full-standby current under CMOS-level inputs.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C136-25JC | 5 V, 2K × 8, 25 ns, but lacks built-in BUSY arbitration and interrupt logic; requires external glue logic | No native mailbox or port-to-port signaling-software-managed coherency increases firmware complexity | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs real-time determinism needs and board space allows discrete arbitration logic |
| IDT71421LA25PF8 | Same family SLAVE device: identical speed/package but BUSY pins are inputs only; no on-chip arbitration logic | Must be paired with a MASTER (e.g., 71321LA25PF8) for arbitration; cannot operate stand-alone as shared memory | Choose only for width-expansion configurations where multiple SLAVE devices share one MASTER's BUSY signal |
Compared with CY7C136-25JC, 71321LA25PF8 reduces BOM count and firmware overhead via integrated arbitration and interrupts; versus IDT71421LA25PF8, it provides autonomous MASTER functionality essential for standalone dual-CPU designs.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pin on the 71321LA25PF8?
The BUSY pin (BUSYL or BUSYR) on the 71321LA25PF8 is an open-drain output that signals port contention when both ports attempt simultaneous access to the same memory address. It must be pulled up externally with a 270 Ω resistor to VCC. When asserted low, it inhibits writes on the contending port-ensuring data coherency without software intervention. This behavior is intrinsic to the 71321LA25PF8 as a MASTER device.
Does the 71321LA25PF8 support true dual-port operation without external arbitration logic?
Yes, the 71321LA25PF8 supports fully asynchronous dual-port operation with on-chip arbitration. Its internal logic resolves address-contention events using tAPS = 5 ns priority setup time and generates BUSY flags automatically. No external gates or controllers are needed-making the 71321LA25PF8 self-contained for real-time interprocessor communication.
How does the interrupt functionality work in the 71321LA25PF8?
The 71321LA25PF8 implements hardware interrupts via dedicated mailbox addresses: writing to 7FEh sets the INTL flag (left port), and writing to 7FFh sets the INTR flag (right port). Each flag is cleared by reading its respective address. These are push-pull outputs with <25 ns set/reset timing-enabling low-latency event signaling between processors without polling overhead in the 71321LA25PF8.
Can the 71321LA25PF8 retain data during main power loss?
Yes, the 71321LA25PF8 (LA variant) supports battery-backed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V, drawing only 100 µA typical current (ICCDR). This allows seamless hold-up from backup sources such as coin cells or supercapacitors. The 71321LA25PF8 maintains valid SRAM contents indefinitely at 2 V-critical for black-box recording and fail-safe state preservation.
What package type is used for the 71321LA25PF8 and what are its layout considerations?
The 71321LA25PF8 uses a 52-pin STQFP (PPG52) package: 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm with exposed thermal pad. Layout requires symmetric decoupling (0.1 µF X7R ceramic near each VCC pin), 270 Ω pull-up resistors on BUSYL/BUSYR, and strict length matching for A0–A10 and I/O0–I/O7 traces on both ports to maintain 25 ns timing margins. The 71321LA25PF8 has no thermal pad solder requirement per IDT documentation.
