Product details
Overview
71321LA35TF8 from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM with interrupt logic and BUSY arbitration, designed as a MASTER device for interprocessor communication in real-time embedded systems. It delivers 35 ns max read cycle time, 2V data retention capability, industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C), and supports independent asynchronous access on left/right ports - used in multi-CPU shared-memory architectures requiring deterministic contention resolution.
For engineers reviewing the 71321LA35TF8 datasheet, 71321LA35TF8 pinout, 71321LA35TF8 application, or 71321LA35TF8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MASTER-only BUSY output architecture, battery-backed 2V data retention, 52-pin STQFP package, and compatibility with IDT71421SLAVE devices for 16-bit+ memory expansion without external logic.
Technical Context
The 71321LA35TF8 implements on-chip port arbitration logic that asserts BUSYL/BUSYR outputs based solely on chip enable (CEL/CER) and address match timing - independent of R/W state - enabling deterministic write-inhibit behavior during simultaneous access. Its interrupt system uses dedicated mailbox addresses (7FEH for INTL, 7FFH for INTR) with dedicated set/reset timing (tINS ≤ 25 ns, tINR ≤ 25 ns).
It operates fully asynchronously per port, with separate control/address/I/O buses, and features automatic power-down via CE-driven standby modes: ISB1 = 25 mA (both ports TTL-level standby), ISB3 = 0.2 mA (both ports CMOS-level full standby). The LA variant guarantees 2V data retention with ICCDR ≤ 1500 µA at +25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 bits (2048 words × 8-bit wide), dual-port architecture with independent left/right address/data/control paths |
| Access Time (tRC) | 35 ns max - defines minimum read cycle interval; enables real-time CPU-to-CPU handshaking in <35 ns latency-critical systems |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - supports battery backup operation with guaranteed data hold during main power loss |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor control, PLCs, and telecom infrastructure |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - single 5 V ±10% TTL-compatible supply; all VCC pins require decoupling per datasheet layout rules |
| Standby Current (ISB3) | 0.2 mA typ. - ultra-low full-standby power when both ports disabled with CMOS-level inputs, critical for low-power wake-on-interrupt designs |
| Interrupt Timing (tINS/tINR) | ≤25 ns - fast interrupt assertion/clear latency ensures timely mailbox signaling between co-located processors |
Pinout & Package
71321LA35TF8 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 functions are validated per IDT DSC-2691 Rev. 17 (2019) pin configuration diagrams for PPG52 top view.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side memory access; A10L enables full 2K addressing (0–2047) |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit tri-state I/O bus; direction controlled by R/WL and OEL; high-impedance when disabled |
| R/WL, CEL, OEL | Left port control signals | R/WL = read/write direction; CEL = chip enable (active low); OEL = output enable (active low) |
| INTL, BUSYL | Left port interrupt & BUSY | INTL = open-drain interrupt flag (asserted on right-port write to 7FEH); BUSYL = open-drain BUSY output (requires 270 Ω pull-up) |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for right-side access; matches left port width for symmetrical dual-port operation |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | 8-bit tri-state I/O bus; functionally identical to left port I/O but electrically isolated |
| R/WR, CER, OER | Right port control signals | Same functional roles as left port controls; independent timing allows true concurrent access |
| INTR, BUSYR | Right port interrupt & BUSY | INTR = open-drain interrupt flag (asserted on left-port write to 7FFH); BUSYR = open-drain BUSY output (270 Ω pull-up required) |
| VCC, GND | Power & ground | Multiple VCC/GND pins distributed across package per layout guidelines; all must be connected to maintain signal integrity and thermal performance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip port arbitration logic | Eliminates need for external glue logic in MASTER/SLAVE configurations; resolves contention deterministically using CE + address timing only |
| Dual independent interrupt mailboxes | Hardware-accelerated interprocessor messaging via dedicated 7FEH/7FFH locations - no software polling overhead |
| 2V data retention mode | Enables seamless failover to coin-cell backup during main power interruption; verified at 2.0 V, +25°C, ICCDR ≤ 1500 µA |
| Open-drain BUSY outputs | Allows wired-OR connection in multi-SLAVE arrays; 270 Ω pull-up ensures valid TTL levels while minimizing current draw |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Supports independent clock domains - left and right ports may operate with different timing constraints and control sequences |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Shared Memory | Real-Time Motor Control Hub |

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 CY7C1371D-133AXC | 3.3 V core, 133 MHz QDR interface, no native BUSY arbitration; requires external logic for contention resolution | Targeted at high-bandwidth networking buffers, not deterministic real-time interprocessor comms | Choose only if migrating to 3.3 V systems and adding custom arbitration logic is acceptable |
| IDT71421LA35TF8 | SLAVE-only variant; BUSY pins are inputs (not outputs); no on-chip arbitration logic; requires companion 71321LA as MASTER | Used exclusively in width-expanded arrays (e.g., 16-bit+ data bus) where one MASTER coordinates multiple SLAVES | Select only as secondary device in MASTER/SLAVE topology - never standalone replacement for 71321LA35TF8 |
Compared with CY7C1371D-133AXC and IDT71421LA35TF8, the 71321LA35TF8 uniquely integrates MASTER arbitration, 2V retention, and interrupt mailboxes in a single 5 V, 35 ns industrial-grade package - eliminating design complexity in deterministic dual-CPU systems.

FAQ
What is the primary functional distinction between 71321LA35TF8 and IDT71421LA35TF8?
The 71321LA35TF8 is a MASTER dual-port SRAM with on-chip arbitration logic and open-drain BUSY outputs (BUSYL/BUSYR), while IDT71421LA35TF8 is a SLAVE device with BUSY inputs only and no internal arbitration. The 71321LA35TF8 can operate stand-alone; IDT71421LA35TF8 requires a 71321LA35TF8 as MASTER to manage contention. Their pinouts differ in BUSY pin functionality and cannot be substituted directly.
Does 71321LA35TF8 support true simultaneous read/write operations on both ports?
Yes - the 71321LA35TF8 supports fully asynchronous, independent access: one port may read while the other writes, provided addresses do not conflict. When both ports access the same memory location, on-chip arbitration asserts BUSYL/BUSYR to inhibit the later-arriving write, ensuring data integrity without external logic. This behavior is guaranteed per Truth Table III in the datasheet.
How is the 2V data retention capability of 71321LA35TF8 implemented and verified?
The 71321LA35TF8's LA suffix denotes low-power design enabling data retention at VCC = 2.0 V. It is verified per datasheet Table 6: at VCC = 2.0 V and TA = +25°C, ICCDR ≤ 1500 µA (commercial) or ≤ 4000 µA (industrial), with tCDR = 0 ns (instant entry to retention mode upon VCC drop). No external circuitry is needed - simply reduce VCC to ≥2.0 V while holding CE high.
What are the mandatory external components required for reliable operation of 71321LA35TF8?
Two mandatory external components are required: (1) 270 Ω pull-up resistors on BUSYL and BUSYR pins (per datasheet Note 2), and (2) proper decoupling - at least one 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per VCC pin, placed within 5 mm of each pin per layout guidelines. Failure to install pull-ups causes BUSY signals to float; missing decoupling risks timing violations and latch-up.
Can 71321LA35TF8 be used in a system with mixed 5 V and 3.3 V logic interfaces?
No - the 71321LA35TF8 is strictly 5 V ±10% TTL-compatible (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and has no 3.3 V I/O tolerance. Driving its inputs from 3.3 V logic may result in marginal VIH margins; driving 3.3 V receivers from its 5 V outputs violates absolute maximum ratings. Level-shifting circuitry (e.g., TXB0108) is required for interoperability with 3.3 V systems.
