Product details
Overview
IDT71321SA35J8 from Integrated Device Technology 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 35 ns max read cycle time, operates on single 5V ±10% supply, supports industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and features two independent asynchronous ports with TTL-compatible I/O for use in 16-bit-or-wider memory expansion architectures.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71321SA35J8 datasheet, IDT71321SA35J8 pinout, IDT71321SA35J8 application, or IDT71321SA35J8 equivalent, this page provides verified functional identity, validated package mapping (52-pin STQFP), confirmed dual-port timing behavior, interrupt mailbox addressing (7FEh/7FFh), and master-side BUSY arbitration parameters - all essential for co-processor memory interface design and legacy system replacement.
Technical Context
The IDT71321SA35J8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with separate address, control, and bidirectional I/O buses per port (Left/Right), enabling concurrent read/write access without external synchronization. Its on-chip arbitration logic resolves port contention via BUSY flag generation based on chip enable (CEL/CER) and address match detection - not R/W state - ensuring deterministic write inhibition during simultaneous access to identical addresses.
As a MASTER device, it drives open-drain BUSYL/BUSYR outputs requiring 270 Ω pull-up resistors, while supporting interrupt signaling through dedicated INTL/INTR flags triggered by writes to fixed mailbox addresses (7FEh and 7FFh). The device lacks battery backup capability (LA variant only supports 2V data retention), confirming its SA suffix as standard-power, non-retentive operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 bits (2048 words × 8-bit wide), dual-port SRAM with independent left/right access paths |
| Max Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 35 ns - defines minimum interval between successive read operations on same port |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - single 5V ±10% rail; no auxiliary supplies required |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications |
| Active Current (ICC) | 80 mA typ. - power consumption during full-speed dual-port operation at 35 ns speed grade |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 25 mA typ. - current draw when both ports disabled (CE = VIH) under TTL-level inputs |
| Interrupt Address Mapping | INTL asserted on right-port write to 7FEh; INTR asserted on left-port write to 7FFh - fixed mailbox locations for interprocessor messaging |
Pinout & Package
Package: 52-pin STQFP (PPG52), body size 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| 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) |

| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags (output) | Open-drain outputs; require pull-up; indicate mailbox writes (7FEh/7FFh) |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | BUSY arbitration flags (output) | Open-drain outputs; require 270 Ω pull-up; signal port contention to inhibit writes |
| VCC / GND | Power supply pins | Multiple VCC/GND pairs distributed across package for noise reduction and decoupling |

FAQ
What is the function of BUSYL and BUSYR on IDT71321SA35J8?
BUSYL and BUSYR are open-drain output flags indicating port contention on the left and right ports respectively. When both ports attempt to access the same memory address simultaneously, the IDT71321SA35J8 asserts the corresponding BUSY signal to inhibit writes - preventing data corruption. These outputs require 270 Ω pull-up resistors per datasheet DSC-2691/17, and are used to drive BUSY inputs on IDT71421 SLAVE devices in width-expanded configurations.
Does IDT71321SA35J8 support battery backup operation?
No, IDT71321SA35J8 does not support battery backup. The 'SA' suffix denotes standard-power operation without data retention capability. Battery backup (2V data retention) is exclusive to the 'LA' variant (e.g., IDT71321LA35J8), which is explicitly documented in the datasheet's Data Retention Characteristics table (Section 5) and marked as LA-only in all DC and AC parameter tables.
How are interrupt flags INTL and INTR triggered on IDT71321SA35J8?
INTL is asserted when the right port writes to address 7FEh (hex); INTR is asserted when the left port writes to address 7FFh (hex). Both flags are open-drain outputs requiring pull-up resistors. Clearing is performed by reading the same address with OE enabled - e.g., accessing 7FEh with CEL=OEL=VIL clears INTL. This mailbox mechanism enables hardware-synchronized interprocessor messaging without polling or software arbitration.
Is IDT71321SA35J8 pin-compatible with IDT71421 devices?
No, IDT71321SA35J8 is not pin-compatible with IDT71421 devices. While both share identical pin counts and physical packages, their BUSY pin functions differ fundamentally: IDT71321SA35J8 has BUSYL/BUSYR as outputs, whereas IDT71421 has them as inputs. Swapping them electrically would cause malfunction. They are functionally complementary (MASTER/SLAVE), not interchangeable.
What package type is used for IDT71321SA35J8?
IDT71321SA35J8 uses the 52-pin STQFP package (package code PPG52), with dimensions 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm. This is confirmed in the Pin Configurations section (page 3, Figure 3a) of datasheet DSC-2691/17, where the "71321 PPG52" diagram labels all 52 pins and specifies the STQFP mechanical outline. The 'J8' suffix in the part number corresponds to this package variant.
