Product details
Overview
71321LA45JI 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. It features 45 ns max access time, 1 mW typical standby power, 2 V data retention capability, TTL-compatible 5 V ±10% supply, and operates across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range - deployed in real-time embedded control systems requiring concurrent memory access.
For engineers reviewing the 71321LA45JI datasheet, 71321LA45JI pinout, 71321LA45JI application, or 71321LA45JI equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port arbitration timing (tBAA/tBDD), interrupt mailbox addressing (7FEh/7FFh), battery-backed data retention at 2 V, open-drain BUSY/INT output drive requirements (270 Ω pull-up), and PLCC-52 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The 71321LA45JI implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with independent left/right address, control, and I/O buses. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves port contention via BUSY flag generation based on chip enable and address match timing - not R/W state - enabling deterministic write inhibition during simultaneous access to identical addresses.
Interrupt functionality uses dedicated SRAM mailboxes: writing to address 7FEh (right port) sets INTL; reading/writing 7FEh (left port) clears it. Similarly, 7FFh controls INTR. Both BUSY and INT pins are open-drain outputs requiring external 270 Ω pull-up resistors per datasheet Figure 3.

Pinout & Package
71321LA45JI is housed in a 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC, package code PLG52) with 0.75″ × 0.75″ body and J-lead configuration. Pin 1 is marked by corner notch; all VCC pins (e.g., pins 21, 33, 47) require direct connection to 5 V supply; all GND pins (e.g., pins 26, 39) must be tied to system ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side memory access; latched on CE/WE transition per AC timing |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit tri-state I/O; direction controlled by R/WL and OEL; high-impedance when disabled |
| CEL, OEL, R/WL | Left port control enables | Chip Enable (active low), Output Enable (active low), Read/Write (high=read, low=write) |
| INTL, BUSYL | Left port interrupt & BUSY | Open-drain outputs requiring 270 Ω pull-up; BUSYL asserts during port contention to block writes |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | Independent 11-bit address path; supports simultaneous but non-conflicting access with left port |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | Electrically isolated from left I/O; no shared bus loading or timing coupling |
| CER, OER, R/WR | Right port control enables | Functionally identical to left controls but with separate timing domains and arbitration inputs |
| INTR, BUSYR | Right port interrupt & BUSY | Open-drain outputs; INTR set by left-port write to 7FFh; BUSYR driven low during right-port write conflict |
| VCC, GND | Power & ground | Multiple distributed VCC/GND pins minimize IR drop and improve noise immunity in high-speed operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip port arbitration logic | Resolves simultaneous access to same address without external logic; BUSY assertion prevents data corruption during contention |
| Dual interrupt mailboxes (7FEh/7FFh) | Enables lock-free interprocessor messaging: one port writes status/data, other port reads and clears - no polling overhead |
| Battery backup data retention | Maintains full 2K × 8 memory state at 2 V supply, supporting seamless failover in power-interrupted industrial environments |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Eliminates clock domain crossing; each port operates independently with its own timing constraints and control signals |

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pin on the 71321LA45JI?
The BUSY pin on the 71321LA45JI is an open-drain output that asserts low when port contention occurs - i.e., when both left and right ports attempt to access the same memory address simultaneously. It blocks write operations on the contending port to prevent data corruption. Per datasheet Note 1, it requires a 270 Ω pull-up resistor to VCC. This hardware arbitration eliminates need for software locks in the 71321LA45JI design.
Does the 71321LA45JI support true simultaneous read/write operations?
Yes - the 71321LA45JI supports fully asynchronous, independent read and write operations on left and right ports, provided addresses do not collide. When addresses match, BUSY arbitration activates to inhibit the later-arriving write. Reads remain unaffected. The 71321LA45JI's dual-port architecture allows concurrent access to different memory locations with no timing coupling between ports.
How is interrupt handling implemented in the 71321LA45JI?
The 71321LA45JI uses two dedicated SRAM mailboxes for interrupts: writing to address 7FEh (hex) via the right port sets the INTL flag; writing to 7FFh via the left port sets INTR. Clearing is performed by reading or writing the same address with appropriate CE/OE asserts. These are physical memory locations - not registers - so user data can be embedded in the interrupt payload. No external logic is needed for basic flag management in the 71321LA45JI.
What is the significance of the "LA" suffix in 71321LA45JI?
The "LA" suffix in 71321LA45JI denotes the low-power version with battery backup capability: it retains full 2K × 8 memory content at 2 V supply, consuming ≤1500 µA (typical) during retention mode. This distinguishes it from the "SA" variant, which lacks data retention below 4.5 V. The "45" specifies 45 ns maximum access time, and "JI" indicates industrial temperature grade (–40°C to +85°C) in PLCC packaging.
Can the 71321LA45JI be used without external pull-up resistors on BUSY and INT pins?
No - the BUSY and INT pins on the 71321LA45JI are open-drain outputs and require external 270 Ω pull-up resistors to VCC, as explicitly specified in datasheet Notes 1 and 2 on page 1 and Figure 3. Omitting these resistors results in undefined logic levels, failed interrupt signaling, and unreliable BUSY arbitration - directly compromising system integrity. This requirement applies to all 71321LA45JI units regardless of operating frequency or temperature.
