Product details
Overview
71321LA55PF8 from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) 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 delivers 55 ns max read/write cycle time, 2V battery-backed data retention, industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C), and TTL-compatible 5V ±10% supply - used in real-time embedded systems requiring concurrent access to shared memory buffers.
For engineers reviewing the 71321LA55PF8 datasheet, 71321LA55PF8 pinout, 71321LA55PF8 application, or 71321LA55PF8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MASTER arbitration capability, dual-interrupt flag support (INTL/INTR), low 1 µA full-standby current, and compatibility with SLAVE IDT71421 devices in 16-bit+ bus expansion architectures.
Technical Context
The 71321LA55PF8 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 output (open-drain, requires 270 Ω pull-up) triggered by address match detection - not dependent on R/W direction.
Interrupt functionality uses dedicated mailbox addresses (7FEH for INTL, 7FFH for INTR) with set/reset timing defined by tINS ≤ 45 ns and tINR ≤ 45 ns. Battery backup mode operates at VCC = 2.0 V with guaranteed data retention and ICCDR ≤ 4000 µA (industrial grade).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 bits (2048 words × 8-bit wide), dual-access random access |
| Access Time (tAA) | 55 ns max - defines minimum address hold before valid data appears |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 55 ns max - sets minimum interval between successive reads on same port |
| Full Standby Current (ISB3) | 10 µA max at VCC = 2.0 V - enables ultra-low-power battery retention mode |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - TTL-compatible with standard 5V logic systems and noise margin |
| Interrupt Timing (tINS/tINR) | ≤ 45 ns - ensures fast interprocessor signaling latency in real-time co-processing |
Pinout & Package
71321LA55PF8 is packaged in a 64-pin STQFP (PPG64) measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, with exposed thermal pad and lead-free RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side memory access (0–2047) |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for right-side memory access (0–2047) |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when OER = VIH or CER = VIH |
| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; controls power-down entry (ISB1–ISB4) |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low enables outputs; does not affect internal memory access or power state |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | High = read, low = write; determines data flow direction on I/O bus |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags (output) | Open-drain outputs asserting on mailbox writes (7FEH/7FFH) |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | BUSY arbitration signals | BUSYL/BUSYR are outputs on 71321LA55PF8 (MASTER); require 270 Ω pull-up |
| VCC, GND | Power and ground | Multiple VCC/GND pins distributed for low-noise, stable 5V operation |

Applications
| Real-Time Dual-Core Processor Interface | Industrial PLC Shared Memory Buffer |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Two independent microcontrollers exchange sensor data and control commands via shared memory without software polling or OS-level synchronization. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 71321LA55PF8 acts as MASTER dual-port RAM with hardware BUSY arbitration and interrupt flags to coordinate atomic read/write operations across cores. Use Value: Eliminates race conditions and reduces inter-core latency to ≤45 ns interrupt response, enabling deterministic sub-millisecond task handoff. | Use Scenario: A programmable logic controller uses separate I/O processor and motion control processor sharing status registers, command queues, and fault logs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 71321LA55PF8 provides non-blocking concurrent access to 2KB of shared configuration and runtime data with battery-backed retention during power cycling. Use Value: Ensures zero-data-loss persistence across brownouts and supports hot-swappable firmware updates without memory reinitialization. |
| Avionics Data Concentrator | Medical Imaging Frame Buffer |
Use Scenario: Multiple sensor acquisition modules (ARINC 429, discrete I/O) feed time-stamped telemetry into a central flight management unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 71321LA55PF8 serves as MASTER buffer with interrupt-driven mailbox protocol to signal new packet arrival from any input channel. Use Value: Guarantees bounded interrupt latency (<45 ns) and eliminates CPU polling overhead, improving system determinism for DO-178C certification. | Use Scenario: Ultrasound or MRI systems acquire raw pixel data at high throughput while display subsystem renders previous frames. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 71321LA55PF8 operates as dual-port frame buffer - acquisition engine writes to one port while rendering engine reads from the other. Use Value: Enables continuous 55 ns-cycle pipelined data flow without FIFO bottlenecks or frame tearing, supporting real-time 60+ fps imaging. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT71421LA55PF8 | SLAVE-only device; BUSY pins are inputs (not outputs); no on-chip arbitration logic | Requires pairing with a MASTER (e.g., 71321LA55PF8) for arbitration; cannot operate standalone as memory controller | Select only when expanding bus width beyond 8 bits using MASTER/SLAVE topology |
| Cypress CY7C1371DV33-55BGXI | 3.3V core supply (not 5V); different pinout; no built-in interrupt mailboxes or BUSY arbitration | Needs external logic for interrupt generation and port contention resolution; incompatible with legacy 5V TTL systems | Choose only for new 3.3V designs where external arbitration is acceptable and voltage scaling is required |
Compared with IDT71421LA55PF8 and CY7C1371DV33-55BGXI, the 71321LA55PF8 uniquely integrates MASTER arbitration, dual interrupts, and 5V/2V dual-supply operation - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial and avionics systems requiring self-contained, drop-in dual-port memory coordination.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating speed of the 71321LA55PF8?
The 71321LA55PF8 has a maximum read/write cycle time (tRC) of 55 ns, corresponding to a theoretical peak bandwidth of ~18.2 MHz per port. This speed is guaranteed across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) under VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, and applies to both left and right ports independently.
Does the 71321LA55PF8 support battery backup operation?
Yes, the 71321LA55PF8 supports true battery backup operation at VCC = 2.0 V, retaining all 2K × 8 bits of data with ICCDR ≤ 4000 µA (industrial grade). This is a defining feature of the "LA" suffix variant and is not available in the "SA" (standard active) version.
How does BUSY arbitration work on the 71321LA55PF8?
On the 71321LA55PF8, BUSY arbitration is implemented as open-drain outputs (BUSYL/BUSYR) that assert low when both ports attempt simultaneous access to the same memory address. The assertion occurs within ≤30 ns (tBDD) and blocks writes on the delayed port - no external logic is needed, and the decision is based solely on address and chip-enable timing alignment.
Can the 71321LA55PF8 be used without interrupt functionality?
Yes, the 71321LA55PF8 operates fully as a dual-port SRAM without using interrupts. Addresses 7FEH and 7FFH function as standard memory locations unless explicitly used for mailbox signaling. Disabling interrupts requires no hardware changes - simply avoid writing to those addresses or ignore INTL/INTR outputs.
What package type is used for the 71321LA55PF8?
The 71321LA55PF8 uses a 64-pin STQFP package (PPG64), measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm with an exposed thermal pad. This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package supports fine-pitch PCB assembly and provides superior thermal performance over PLCC alternatives.
