Product details
Overview
IDT71321LA55JI 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 55 ns max read/write cycle time, supports industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C), operates on single 5V ±10% supply, and features battery-backed data retention down to 2V. It is used in dual-CPU arbitration systems requiring deterministic port conflict resolution.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71321LA55JI datasheet, IDT71321LA55JI pinout, IDT71321LA55JI application, or IDT71321LA55JI equivalent, key selection criteria include its MASTER-only arbitration logic, open-drain BUSYL/INTL outputs requiring 270Ω pull-ups, 2V data retention capability, and compatibility with IDT71421SLAVE devices for 16-bit+ memory expansion.
Technical Context
The IDT71321LA55JI implements fully asynchronous dual-port operation with independent left/right address, control, and I/O buses. Its on-chip arbitration logic monitors CE and address signals (not R/W state) to assert BUSYL/BUSYR outputs within 20 ns (tBAA/tBAC) when port contention occurs on matching addresses - enabling hardware-level write inhibition without external logic.
Interrupt functionality uses dedicated mailbox addresses: INTL asserts when right port writes to 0x7FE; INTR asserts when left port writes to 0x7FF. Both flags are open-drain outputs requiring external pull-up resistors. The LA suffix confirms low-power design with 1 µA full-standby current (ISB3) and 2V data retention (VDR = 2.0 V).

Pinout & Package
64-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP, PNG64) with exposed thermal pad; requires 270Ω pull-up resistors on BUSYL, INTL, BUSYR, and INTR pins per datasheet Note 2.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side access; must be stable before CE/WE assertion per tAS = 0 ns setup |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | Independent 11-bit address bus; enables simultaneous non-conflicting reads/writes across ports |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH; drives valid data within tAOE ≤ 25 ns |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; electrically isolated from left port; supports concurrent 16-bit word transfers with slave devices |
| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; controls power-down mode (ISB1–ISB4); tPD = 50 ns max disable-to-standby |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low enables I/O drivers; overrides R/W state for tristate control during bus sharing |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | Active-low write strobe; combined with CE defines write cycle timing (tWP = 30 ns min for 55 ns version) |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Arbitration status (open-drain) | Outputs asserted LOW during address match contention; require 270Ω pull-up; drive write-inhibit on slave devices |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags (open-drain) | Asserted on mailbox writes (0x7FE/0x7FF); used for interprocessor signaling without polling overhead |
| VCC / GND | Power supply | Four VCC (pins 23, 24, 47, 48) and four GND (pins 22, 25, 46, 49) pins ensure low-noise operation at high speed |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 CY7C1371DV33-166AXC | 3.3V core, 166 MHz (6 ns), no built-in BUSY arbitration or interrupt mailboxes | Requires external logic for port conflict resolution; suited for high-speed DSP co-processing, not inter-CPU arbitration | Select only if system operates at 3.3V and uses software-managed memory access protocols |
| ISSI IS61WV20488BLL-10MLI | Single-port, 10 ns access, no dual-port or arbitration features; 3.3V/2.5V compatible | Cannot support simultaneous CPU/FPGA access; lacks interrupt or BUSY signaling capability | Use only in cost-sensitive, non-concurrent-access designs where arbitration is handled entirely in firmware |
Compared with IDT71321LA55JI, the Cypress part offers higher speed but demands external arbitration circuitry and lacks 2V retention, while the ISSI part omits dual-port functionality entirely - making IDT71321LA55JI uniquely suited for deterministic hardware-arbitrated interprocessor communication.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSYL and INTL pins on the IDT71321LA55JI?
BUSYL and INTL are open-drain outputs requiring external 270Ω pull-up resistors. BUSYL signals port contention during address matches, enabling hardware write inhibition. INTL asserts when the right port writes to address 0x7FE, serving as an interprocessor interrupt flag. Both pins are active-low and defined in the IDT71321LA55JI functional block diagram and Truth Table II.
Does the IDT71321LA55JI support battery backup operation?
Yes, the IDT71321LA55JI supports battery backup operation with guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V (VDR parameter). This is exclusive to LA-suffix variants and confirmed in Table 6 (Data Retention Characteristics). Typical data retention current is 100 µA, enabling multi-year backup with small coin cells.
Can the IDT71321LA55JI be used as a SLAVE device in a Master/Slave configuration?
No, the IDT71321LA55JI is exclusively a MASTER device. Only IDT71421 variants function as SLAVES, with BUSY pins configured as inputs. The IDT71321LA55JI's BUSYL/BUSYR pins are outputs, and its internal arbitration logic is designed solely for MASTER role - attempting SLAVE use violates the functional specification in the datasheet Section 1.
What package type is used for the IDT71321LA55JI?
The IDT71321LA55JI uses a 64-pin Thin Quad Flat Package (TQFP), designated PNG64 in IDT documentation. Its dimensions are 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm with 0.5 mm lead pitch. Pin configuration matches Figure 3 (64-Pin TQFP Top View) in the DSC-2691/17 datasheet.
How does interrupt clearing work in the IDT71321LA55JI?
To clear the INTL flag, the left port must perform a read access to address 0x7FE with CEL = OEL = VIL (R/WL is don't-care). To clear INTR, the right port reads 0x7FF under identical conditions. This behavior is defined in Truth Table II and verified in the "Interrupts" section (page 16) of the IDT71321LA55JI datasheet.
