Product details
Overview
IDT71321SA25JI8 from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) is a high-speed 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM with on-chip interrupt and BUSY arbitration logic, designed as a MASTER device for interprocessor communication systems. It supports 25 ns max access time, operates at 5V ±10%, delivers 325 mW typical active power, and features open-drain BUSY/INT outputs requiring 270 Ω pull-up resistors. It is used in real-time embedded control systems where two CPUs share memory without software coordination.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71321SA25JI8 datasheet, IDT71321SA25JI8 pinout, IDT71321SA25JI8 application, or IDT71321SA25JI8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MASTER arbitration capability, 25 ns industrial-grade timing, dual-interrupt mailbox addressing (7FEh/7FFh), and compatibility with SLAVE IDT71421 devices in 16-bit+ bus expansions.
Technical Context
The IDT71321SA25JI8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port operation with independent left/right address, control, and I/O buses. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves port contention using chip enable (CE) and address match detection - not R/W state - and asserts open-drain BUSY flags to inhibit writes during conflict.
Interrupt functionality uses dedicated mailbox addresses: writing to 7FEh (right port) sets INTL; reading/writing 7FEh (left port) clears it. Similarly, 7FFh controls INTR. Both interrupts are edge-triggered and latched until explicitly cleared, enabling reliable inter-CPU signaling without polling overhead.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits), 16 kB total capacity |
| Access Time (max) | 25 ns - guarantees deterministic read/write latency for real-time CPU co-processing |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - TTL-compatible single-supply operation, no level-shifting required |
| Active Current (typ) | 110 mA (ICC) - ~325 mW power at 5 V, suitable for thermally constrained embedded designs |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 30 mA (both ports disabled) - enables low-power idle states between interprocessor transactions |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments including motor drives and PLCs |
| Interrupt Addresses | 7FEh (INTL), 7FFh (INTR) - fixed SRAM locations used as hardware mailboxes for CPU-to-CPU signaling |
Pinout & Package
Package: 52-pin STQFP (PPG52), 10 mm × 10 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 CPU access (0–2047) |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for right-side CPU 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; overrides R/W for tristate control |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | High = read, low = write; determines direction of I/O bus transfer |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags (open-drain) | Asserted low to signal mailbox event; require external 270 Ω pull-up |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | BUSY arbitration signals | BUSYL/BUSYR are outputs on IDT71321SA25JI8; indicate port contention |
| VCC / GND | Power supply pins | Multiple VCC/GND pairs ensure stable noise margin across high-speed operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip port arbitration logic | Resolves simultaneous access conflicts via CE/address-based priority, eliminating need for external glue logic |
| Dual interrupt mailbox architecture | Hardware-signaled CPU synchronization using dedicated SRAM addresses 7FEh and 7FFh |
| Open-drain BUSY/INT outputs | Enable wired-OR connection in multi-SLAVE systems; 270 Ω pull-up ensures clean TTL-level signaling |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Independent left/right timing allows non-synchronized CPU clocks and variable access patterns |
| Master-only BUSY generation | IDT71321SA25JI8 generates BUSY flags; IDT71421 (SLAVE) consumes them - enforces deterministic expansion topology |

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 CY7C136-25JC | 2K × 8, 25 ns, but lacks integrated BUSY arbitration and interrupt logic; requires external logic for contention resolution | Suitable only in systems where arbitration is handled in firmware or external CPLD | Select only if interrupt/BUSY features are unused and board space permits added discrete logic |
| IDT71421SA25JI8 | Same speed/package, but SLAVE-only: BUSY pins are inputs, no on-chip arbitration; must be paired with IDT71321 as MASTER | Used exclusively in width-expanded systems (e.g., 16-bit bus) where IDT71321SA25JI8 drives BUSY | Not a drop-in replacement; only valid as companion part in MASTER/SLAVE configurations |
Compared with CY7C136-25JC, IDT71321SA25JI8 reduces BOM count and improves determinism via hardware arbitration; compared with IDT71421SA25JI8, it provides autonomous MASTER control essential for standalone dual-CPU interfaces.

FAQ
What is the function of BUSYL and BUSYR on the IDT71321SA25JI8?
BUSYL and BUSYR are open-drain output flags on the IDT71321SA25JI8 that indicate port contention. When both ports attempt simultaneous access to the same memory location, the arbitration logic asserts one BUSY line low to inhibit writes on the losing port. These outputs require external 270 Ω pull-up resistors to VCC and are used to coordinate MASTER/SLAVE configurations - unlike IDT71421, which uses BUSY as an input.
How does interrupt handling work in the IDT71321SA25JI8?
The IDT71321SA25JI8 uses fixed SRAM addresses 7FEh and 7FFh as hardware mailboxes. Writing to 7FEh via the right port sets INTL; reading/writing 7FEh via the left port clears it. Similarly, 7FFh controls INTR. Both flags are latched and remain asserted until explicitly cleared, enabling edge-triggered ISR activation without polling. The IDT71321SA25JI8 implements this entirely in hardware with no firmware dependency.
Can the IDT71321SA25JI8 operate in battery backup mode?
No. Battery backup with 2V data retention is exclusive to LA-suffix variants (e.g., IDT71321LA25JI8). The IDT71321SA25JI8 is the standard-power version and does not support data retention below 4.5 V. Its standby current is 30 mA (ISB1), whereas LA versions achieve 1 mA standby and retain data at 2 V - a key differentiator confirmed in DC Electrical Characteristics Table 4a.
What package type is used for the IDT71321SA25JI8?
The IDT71321SA25JI8 uses a 52-pin STQFP package (package code PPG52), measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm. This surface-mount, lead-free, RoHS-compliant package is distinct from the 64-pin TQFP variants and is optimized for high-density industrial PCB layouts. Pin configuration matches the PPG52 diagram in Figure 3a of the datasheet (DSC-2691/17).
Is the IDT71321SA25JI8 pin-compatible with IDT71421 devices?
No. Although both share identical pin counts and many signal names, IDT71321SA25JI8 and IDT71421SA25JI8 have opposite BUSY pin roles: BUSYL/BUSYR are outputs on IDT71321SA25JI8 but inputs on IDT71421SA25JI8. Swapping them causes functional failure. They are complementary components - not pin-compatible replacements - intended for MASTER/SLAVE pairing only.
