Product details
Overview
IDT71321SA25JI from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM with on-chip port arbitration, two interrupt flags (INTL/INTR), and BUSY signaling for interprocessor communication. It operates at 25 ns max access time, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), consumes 110 mA dynamic current (typ.), and uses a single 5V ±10% supply. It serves as the MASTER device in MASTER/SLAVE memory expansion systems for 16-bit-or-wider data buses.
For engineers reviewing the 71321SA25JI datasheet, 71321SA25JI pinout, 71321SA25JI application, or 71321SA25JI equivalent, key selection criteria include its 25 ns read cycle time, dual asynchronous port operation, integrated arbitration logic, interrupt mailbox addressing (7FEh/7FFh), and compatibility with IDT71421SLAVE devices in width-expanded systems.
Technical Context
The 71321SA25JI implements fully independent left/right ports with separate address, control, and I/O lines, enabling true asynchronous concurrent read/write access to any memory location. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves contention via BUSY flag generation based on chip enable and address match timing - not R/W state - ensuring deterministic priority resolution without external logic.
As a MASTER-only device, it features open-drain BUSYL/BUSYR outputs requiring 270 Ω pull-ups, supports interrupt-driven interprocessor messaging via dedicated mailbox addresses (7FEh for INTL, 7FFh for INTR), and enables battery-backed data retention only in LA variants - not applicable to this SA-grade part.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits), 16,384 total bits |
| Max Access Time | 25 ns (industrial grade, guaranteed over –40°C to +85°C) |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% (4.5 V to 5.5 V), single rail, TTL-compatible |
| Dynamic Current (ICC) | 110 mA typ. (both ports active, f = fMAX) |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 30 mA typ. (both ports disabled, TTL-level inputs) |
| Interrupt Addresses | INTL asserted on right-port write to 7FEh; INTR on left-port write to 7FFh |
| BUSY Arbitration | Hardware-based, triggered by CE/address match; no software overhead |
Pinout & Package
71321SA25JI is packaged in a 52-pin STQFP (PPG52), measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). All VCC and GND pins must be properly decoupled per layout guidelines.
| 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 data path; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right-port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; high-impedance when OER = VIH or CER = VIH |
| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; controls power-down mode when high |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low enables data output drivers; does not affect write path |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | High = read, low = write; determines direction of I/O bus |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags (open-drain) | INTL: left-port interrupt output; INTR: right-port interrupt output |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | BUSY arbitration signals | Open-drain outputs (MASTER only); require 270 Ω pull-up to VCC |
| VCC / GND | Power supply terminals | Multiple VCC/GND pins ensure low-noise operation and thermal dissipation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip port arbitration logic | Resolves simultaneous access conflicts deterministically using CE/address timing - eliminates need for external arbitration circuitry |
| Dual interrupt mailbox architecture | Enables lock-free interprocessor messaging via dedicated SRAM locations (7FEh/7FFh), reducing software polling overhead |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Allows independent, non-synchronized reads/writes on left and right ports - critical for real-time co-processor systems |
| Master-only BUSY signaling | Provides hardware write-inhibit coordination in width-expanded arrays with IDT71421 SLAVE devices, preventing partial-word corruption |
| Industrial temperature support | Guaranteed 25 ns performance across –40°C to +85°C ambient, suitable for embedded control and avionics |

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 CY7C1371DV33-250BZI | 3.3 V supply, 250 MHz QDR interface, no built-in BUSY arbitration | Requires external logic for contention resolution; suited for high-bandwidth streaming, not interprocessor messaging | Select if migrating to 3.3 V systems and adding custom arbitration; not drop-in compatible |
| IDT71421SA25JI | SLAVE-only variant; BUSY pins are inputs, no arbitration logic, no INTL/INTR flags | Used only in width-expanded arrays paired with 71321SA25JI; cannot operate standalone as MASTER | Required companion for 16-bit+ memory expansion; never substitutes for 71321SA25JI's MASTER functionality |
Compared with CY7C1371DV33-250BZI, 71321SA25JI delivers integrated hardware arbitration and interrupt messaging at 5 V, simplifying dual-CPU designs; compared with IDT71421SA25JI, it provides the essential MASTER logic required for autonomous arbitration and mailbox management - making it irreplaceable in standalone dual-processor topologies.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the 71321SA25JI?
The 71321SA25JI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all electrical parameters including 25 ns access time, standby current, and interrupt timing. The "I" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes industrial grade qualification, validated per IDT's internal stress and burn-in protocols.
Does the 71321SA25JI support battery backup data retention?
No, the 71321SA25JI does not support battery backup data retention. That capability is exclusive to LA-grade variants (e.g., 71321LA25JI), which specify 2.0 V data retention voltage and microamp-level retention current. The "SA" suffix indicates standard active-power operation only, with no retention mode or associated low-voltage circuitry.
Can the 71321SA25JI be used without a companion SLAVE device?
Yes, the 71321SA25JI functions fully as a standalone 8-bit dual-port SRAM. Its MASTER arbitration logic remains internally active but does not impair operation when used alone. BUSYL/BUSYR outputs default to high-impedance unless contention occurs - and since no external BUSY input is present, arbitration applies only to internal port conflicts.
What pull-up resistor value is required for BUSYL and BUSYR on the 71321SA25JI?
IDT specifies a 270 Ω pull-up resistor to VCC for both BUSYL and BUSYR pins on the 71321SA25JI. This value ensures valid logic-high levels under worst-case sink current (16 mA) while maintaining fast rise times consistent with the 25 ns timing budget. Using higher resistance may violate tHZ or cause metastability in arbitration decisions.
How are the interrupt mailboxes addressed in the 71321SA25JI?
The 71321SA25JI uses fixed SRAM addresses for interrupt signaling: writing to address 7FEh (hex) via the right port asserts INTL, and writing to 7FFh via the left port asserts INTR. These locations are ordinary memory cells - the interrupt function is purely behavioral, requiring no special register mapping or configuration bits within the 71321SA25JI.
