Product details
Overview
71321SA35TF8 from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM with interrupt logic and on-chip arbitration, designed as a MASTER device for interprocessor communication 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 open-drain BUSY/INT outputs requiring 270Ω pull-up resistors - used in real-time embedded control and multi-CPU data exchange applications.
For engineers reviewing the 71321SA35TF8 datasheet, 71321SA35TF8 pinout, 71321SA35TF8 application, or 71321SA35TF8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its MASTER arbitration capability, dual-interrupt flag support (INTL/INTR), 35 ns timing grade, 52-pin STQFP package, and compatibility with IDT71421 SLAVE devices for 16-bit+ memory expansion.
Technical Context
The 71321SA35TF8 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 signaling - asserting BUSYL/BUSYR outputs when address matches occur, with tBDD ≤ 35 ns delay to valid data after BUSY deassertion.
Interrupt functionality uses dedicated mailbox addresses (7FEH for INTL, 7FFH for INTR) triggered by cross-port writes; interrupt flags are cleared by reading those same locations. Power management includes four standby modes (ISB1–ISB4), with full CMOS-level standby current as low as 0.2 mA (typ.) in LA variants - though 71321SA35TF8 is SA-grade with 25 mA ISB1 (industrial).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits), dual-access SRAM array with no refresh required |
| Max Read Cycle Time | 35 ns - defines minimum time between successive reads on same port |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - TTL-compatible single 5V rail; VCC pins must be decoupled per datasheet layout rules |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 25 mA (max, industrial) - power consumed when both ports disabled (CEL = CER = VIH) |
| Interrupt Mailbox Addresses | 7FEH (left INTL set), 7FFH (right INTR set) - user-defined 8-bit message storage locations |
| BUSY Output Type | Open-drain - requires external 270Ω pull-up resistor to VCC for proper logic level and timing |
Pinout & Package
71321SA35TF8 is packaged in 52-pin STQFP (PPG52), body size 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 marked by dot; all VCC and GND pins require dedicated PCB routing per datasheet layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side memory access (000H–7FFH) |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; direction controlled by R/WL and OEL |
| R/WL, CEL, OEL | Left port control signals | Read/write enable, chip select, output enable - fully asynchronous operation |
| INTL, BUSYL | Left port interrupt & busy | INTL: open-drain interrupt flag; BUSYL: open-drain busy output (MASTER only) |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for right-side memory access (000H–7FFH) |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; direction controlled by R/WR and OER |
| R/WR, CER, OER | Right port control signals | Read/write enable, chip select, output enable - independent of left port timing |
| INTR, BUSYR | Right port interrupt & busy | INTR: open-drain interrupt flag; BUSYR: open-drain busy output (MASTER only) |
| VCC, GND | Power supply | Multiple VCC/GND pins - must be connected to minimize noise and ensure stable operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip port arbitration logic | Resolves simultaneous access conflicts without external logic; asserts BUSY within 20 ns (tBAA) to block conflicting writes |
| Dual interrupt flags (INTL/INTR) | Hardware mailbox signaling enables lock-free interprocessor messaging using dedicated 7FEH/7FFH addresses |
| Master-only BUSY outputs | BUSYL/BUSYR drive open-drain LOW during contention - directly usable as write-inhibit for SLAVE devices in width-expanded systems |
| Four standby power modes | Supports dynamic power gating per port: ISB1 (both ports disabled), ISB2 (one active), ISB3/ISB4 (CMOS-level input hold) |
| 52-pin STQFP (PPG52) | Compact 10 mm × 10 mm footprint with thermal pad - optimized for high-density industrial PCB layouts |
Applications
| Real-Time Multi-CPU Control Systems | Industrial PLC Memory Expansion |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT71421SA35TF8 | SLAVE-only device; BUSY pins are inputs, no arbitration logic, no INTL/INTR generation | Requires pairing with MASTER (e.g., 71321SA35TF8) for width expansion; cannot operate stand-alone as interrupt-capable memory | Select when building 16-bit+ arrays where 71321SA35TF8 handles arbitration and interrupts |
| Cypress CY7C136-35JC | 35 ns, 2K × 8 dual-port SRAM; no built-in interrupt logic or BUSY arbitration; separate interrupt controller needed | Lacks hardware mailbox and automatic port conflict resolution - requires external logic or firmware coordination | Choose for cost-sensitive designs where interrupt arbitration is handled in software or external ASIC |
Compared with IDT71421SA35TF8 and CY7C136-35JC, the 71321SA35TF8 uniquely integrates MASTER arbitration, dual interrupt flags, and open-drain BUSY outputs - enabling self-contained interprocessor communication without external logic or timing-critical firmware intervention.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pins on the 71321SA35TF8?
The BUSYL and BUSYR pins on the 71321SA35TF8 are open-drain outputs that assert LOW when port contention occurs - i.e., when both left and right ports attempt to access the same memory address simultaneously. This signal blocks writes on the losing port, ensuring data integrity. External 270Ω pull-up resistors to VCC are mandatory for correct voltage levels and timing compliance per datasheet Figure 3.
Can the 71321SA35TF8 operate as a standalone dual-port RAM without a SLAVE device?
Yes, the 71321SA35TF8 functions fully as a standalone 2K × 8 dual-port SRAM with interrupt and arbitration capabilities. It does not require pairing with an IDT71421 SLAVE device unless expanding data bus width beyond 8 bits. In standalone mode, both BUSYL and BUSYR serve as contention indicators, and INTL/INTR provide cross-port messaging without external components.
What are the exact mailbox addresses used for interrupt generation in the 71321SA35TF8?
The 71321SA35TF8 uses address 7FEH (2046 decimal) to set the left-port interrupt flag (INTL) and address 7FFH (2047 decimal) to set the right-port interrupt flag (INTR). Writing to these locations with the opposite port's chip and write-enable asserted triggers the respective flag; reading the same address clears it. These locations remain accessible as general SRAM when interrupts are unused.
Does the 71321SA35TF8 support battery backup data retention?
No, the 71321SA35TF8 is an SA-grade device and does not support battery backup data retention. Only LA-grade variants (e.g., 71321LA35TF8) guarantee 2V data retention with typical ICCDR ≤ 100 µA. The SA version requires continuous 4.5–5.5V supply for operation and retains no data below VCC minima.
What is the significance of the 'TF8' suffix in the 71321SA35TF8 part number?
The 'TF8' suffix in 71321SA35TF8 denotes the 52-pin STQFP (PPG52) package variant with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and lead-free, RoHS-compliant finish. It distinguishes this version from PLCC (e.g., TF1), TQFP (e.g., TF2), and commercial-grade (e.g., TF0) variants - confirming mechanical compatibility and thermal qualification for harsh environments.
