Product details
Overview
71321LA25PFI 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 industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C), features 2V battery backup data retention, and uses a single 5V ±10% supply. It enables error-free 16-bit+ memory expansion when paired with IDT71421 SLAVE devices in embedded control systems.
For engineers reviewing the 71321LA25PFI datasheet, 71321LA25PFI pinout, 71321LA25PFI application, or 71321LA25PFI equivalent, key selection considerations include its MASTER arbitration capability, dual-interrupt flag architecture (INTL/INTR), BUSY output behavior, 2V data retention support, and compatibility with 52-pin STQFP packaging for space-constrained industrial designs.
Technical Context
The 71321LA25PFI 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 - asserting BUSYL/BUSYR outputs when both ports access identical addresses, with tAPS = 5 ns priority setup time.
Interrupt functionality is implemented via dedicated mailbox addresses: INTL asserts on right-port write to 0x7FE, INTR on left-port write to 0x7FF; both flags are cleared by read-access to their respective addresses. The device requires external 270Ω pull-up resistors on open-drain BUSY and INT pins.

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 | 5V, 2K × 8, 25 ns, but lacks integrated BUSY arbitration and interrupt logic; requires external logic for contention resolution | No native mailbox or automatic port arbitration - increases BOM count and PCB area in multi-processor systems | Select when legacy Cypress footprint compatibility is required and arbitration can be handled externally |
| IDT71421LA25PFI | Same family, LA grade, 25 ns, but SLAVE-only: BUSY pins are inputs only; no on-chip arbitration logic | Cannot operate standalone as MASTER; must be paired with 71321LA25PFI in width-expanded configurations | Select only as companion SLAVE in 16-bit+ memory systems where 71321LA25PFI handles arbitration |
Compared with CY7C136-25JC, 71321LA25PFI integrates arbitration and interrupts, reducing system-level complexity; compared with IDT71421LA25PFI, it provides autonomous MASTER functionality essential for standalone dual-processor interfaces.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pins on the 71321LA25PFI?
The BUSYL and BUSYR pins on the 71321LA25PFI are open-drain outputs that signal port contention. When both ports attempt to access the same memory address, the on-chip arbitration logic asserts the corresponding BUSY pin LOW to inhibit writes on the delayed port. This prevents data corruption without software intervention. External 270Ω pull-up resistors are required per the 71321LA25PFI datasheet.
Does the 71321LA25PFI support true simultaneous read/write operations?
Yes - the 71321LA25PFI supports fully asynchronous, independent read and write operations on left and right ports. Each port has dedicated address, data, and control lines, allowing concurrent access to different memory locations. When accessing the same location, hardware arbitration via BUSY ensures deterministic resolution with ≤25 ns timing, preserving data integrity in the 71321LA25PFI.
How does interrupt handling work in the 71321LA25PFI?
The 71321LA25PFI implements hardware interrupts via dedicated mailbox addresses: writing to 0x7FE sets INTL (left-port flag), and writing to 0x7FF sets INTR (right-port flag). Flags are cleared by reading those same addresses. This eliminates polling and enables event-driven interprocessor communication. The 71321LA25PFI interrupt timing is guaranteed at ≤25 ns set/reset, supporting hard real-time response.
Can the 71321LA25PFI operate without external pull-up resistors on BUSY and INT pins?
No - the BUSYL, BUSYR, INTL, and INTR pins on the 71321LA25PFI are open-drain outputs and require external pull-up resistors. The datasheet specifies 270Ω for proper logic-level definition and timing compliance. Omitting these resistors will result in undefined HIGH states, failed arbitration, and unreliable interrupt signaling in the 71321LA25PFI.
What is the significance of the 'LA' suffix in 71321LA25PFI?
'LA' denotes the low-power, battery-backup variant of the IDT71321. The 71321LA25PFI guarantees data retention down to 2V supply voltage and achieves 1 µA typical full-standby current (ISB3), unlike the 'SA' (standard active) version. This makes the 71321LA25PFI suitable for applications requiring persistent memory during brownouts or battery-only operation.
