Product details
Overview
IDT71321LA55TFG8 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 in real-time embedded systems. It delivers 55 ns max read/write cycle time, operates on single 5V ±10% supply, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and enables battery-backed data retention at 2V - used in dual-CPU arbitration buffers and shared-memory co-processor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71321LA55TFG8 datasheet, IDT71321LA55TFG8 pinout, IDT71321LA55TFG8 application, or IDT71321LA55TFG8 equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port asynchronous access timing, MASTER-mode BUSY output behavior, interrupt mailbox addressing (0x7FE/0x7FF), low-power standby current (1 µA full standby), and 64-pin TQFP package compatibility with legacy IDT dual-port memory layouts.
Technical Context
The IDT71321LA55TFG8 implements fully independent left/right ports with separate address, control, and I/O buses, enabling true concurrent read/write operations without internal arbitration delay. Its on-chip port arbitration logic responds to address and chip-enable timing (not R/W state) to assert open-drain BUSYL/BUSYR outputs - critical for preventing write collisions in master/slave configurations.
Interrupt functionality uses dedicated SRAM addresses (0x7FE for INTL, 0x7FF for INTR) as mailbox registers; assertion occurs on write by opposite port, and clearing requires read-access with OE/CE asserted. The LA suffix confirms low-power design: active current typ. 220 mA at 55 ns, full standby current ≤10 µA at 2V retention voltage.

Pinout & Package
Package: 64-pin TQFP (PNG64), 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm body, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side access (0x000–0x7FF); must be stable before CE/WE assertion |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit tri-state I/O; direction controlled by R/WL; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH |
| CEL, OEL, R/WL | Left port controls | Chip enable, output enable, read/write select - all active-low; CE-driven power-down reduces current to µA range |
| BUSYL, INTL | Left port open-drain flags | BUSYL: arbitration conflict indicator (requires 270 Ω pull-up); INTL: interrupt flag asserted on right-port write to 0x7FE |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | Independent 11-bit address bus; enables simultaneous access to different memory locations across ports |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | Electrically isolated from left port I/O; no contention risk when accessing distinct addresses |
| CER, OER, R/WR | Right port controls | Functionally identical to left-side controls but with independent timing domains and arbitration inputs |
| BUSYR, INTR | Right port open-drain flags | BUSYR: conflict output (MASTER mode only); INTR: interrupt flag set by left-port write to 0x7FF |
| VCC, GND | Power pins | Multiple VCC/GND pairs (pins 33, 47, 48, 63, 64 / 17, 32, 45, 46) ensure low-noise operation and reduce ground bounce |
| NC | No-connect | Pins 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62 - must remain unconnected |
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 CY7C024AV-55AXC | 55 ns access, 2K × 16 organization, 3.3V core with 5V-tolerant I/O, no built-in BUSY arbitration logic | Requires external logic for port collision detection; suited for wider data paths but adds board area and timing complexity | Select when 16-bit data width is mandatory and external arbitration is acceptable |
| Renesas R1EX24002AS0C-55#U0 | 55 ns access, 2K × 8, 3.3V supply only, integrated interrupt but no BUSY flag outputs | Lacks hardware write-inhibit signaling - relies on software coordination or external BUSY gate | Choose for lower-voltage systems where power efficiency outweighs need for hardware arbitration |

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pins on the IDT71321LA55TFG8?
The BUSYL and BUSYR pins on the IDT71321LA55TFG8 are open-drain outputs that signal write arbitration conflicts when both ports attempt simultaneous access to the same memory location. When asserted (pulled low), they inhibit writes on the corresponding port - ensuring data integrity without software intervention. Each requires a 270 Ω pull-up resistor per datasheet Figure 3. This hardware arbitration is exclusive to the MASTER IDT71321LA55TFG8 and not present in SLAVE variants.
Does the IDT71321LA55TFG8 support battery backup operation?
Yes, the IDT71321LA55TFG8 supports battery backup operation with guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V (min), as specified in Table 6. This LA-series feature allows continuous memory preservation during main power loss - critical for black-box logging, configuration storage, and state recovery in industrial and automotive systems. Retention current is ≤1500 µA (commercial) or ≤4000 µA (industrial) at +25°C.
How do the interrupt flags INTL and INTR work on the IDT71321LA55TFG8?
The IDT71321LA55TFG8 uses fixed SRAM addresses 0x7FE and 0x7FF as interrupt mailboxes: writing to 0x7FE (by right port) asserts INTL; writing to 0x7FF (by left port) asserts INTR. Clearing requires reading the same address with OE/CE enabled. These flags operate independently of BUSY status and provide sub-45 ns latency - enabling lock-free interprocessor signaling without polling or shared semaphores in real-time firmware.
Can the IDT71321LA55TFG8 be used as a SLAVE device in a master/slave configuration?
No, the IDT71321LA55TFG8 is exclusively a MASTER device. Only the IDT71421 series functions as SLAVE, accepting BUSY as an input to inhibit writes. The IDT71321LA55TFG8's BUSY pins are outputs only; its arbitration logic is designed to drive external SLAVE devices. Attempting to use it as SLAVE will result in incorrect BUSY behavior and potential data corruption due to missing input-handling circuitry.
What package type is used for the IDT71321LA55TFG8?
The IDT71321LA55TFG8 is packaged in a 64-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Package), designated PNG64 in IDT documentation. Its dimensions are 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). This RoHS-compliant, lead-free package supports standard reflow profiles and provides robust thermal performance for industrial ambient temperatures up to +85°C.
