Product details
Overview
71321SA55PFI from IDT (now Renesas) 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 features 55 ns max access time, TTL-compatible 5V ±10% operation, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and dual independent asynchronous ports enabling concurrent read/write access to shared memory - used in motor control co-processor interfaces and digital signal processor (DSP) offload buffers.
For engineers reviewing the 71321SA55PFI datasheet, 71321SA55PFI pinout, 71321SA55PFI application, or 71321SA55PFI equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin roles per port, confirmed interrupt timing (tINS = 45 ns max), BUSY arbitration behavior, and validated alternatives for master-side dual-port SRAM replacement in deterministic real-time systems.
Technical Context
The 71321SA55PFI implements on-chip port arbitration logic that asserts BUSYL/BUSYR outputs when address contention occurs between left and right ports - based solely on chip enable (CEL/CER) and address match timing (tAPS = 5 ns min), independent of R/W state. Its interrupt subsystem uses dedicated mailbox addresses (7FEH for INTL, 7FFH for INTR) with set/reset timing tINS/tINR ≤ 45 ns (max) at 55 ns speed grade.
It supports two distinct power modes: active operation (ICC ≤ 65 mA typ. at 55 ns) and full standby (ISB3 ≤ 1.0 mA typ.) via CMOS-level CE control. The BUSY outputs are open-drain and require external 270 Ω pull-up resistors; all VCC and GND pins must be connected per package layout rules.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2K × 8 bits (2048 words × 8-bit data width), providing shared buffer space for two independent processors or cores. |
| Access Time | 55 ns (max), defining worst-case latency from address/CE assertion to valid data output - critical for real-time synchronization. |
| Operating Voltage | 5.0 V ±10%, compatible with legacy TTL and 5V microcontroller buses without level translation. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C (industrial grade), qualified for use in motor drives, industrial PLCs, and outdoor communications equipment. |
| Interrupt Timing | tINS/tINR ≤ 45 ns (max), ensuring fast mailbox flag assertion/clearing for low-latency inter-processor signaling. |
| BUSY Arbitration | tBAA/tBAC ≤ 30 ns (max), guaranteeing rapid detection and inhibition of conflicting writes to same address across ports. |
| Power Consumption | Active: 65 mA typ.; Full Standby: 1.0 mA typ., enabling energy-efficient operation during idle cycles in battery-backed systems. |
Pinout & Package
71321SA55PFI is packaged in a 52-pin STQFP (PPG52), measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, with exposed thermal pad and lead-free RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side access; A10L enables full 2K address space (000–7FFH). |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH - supports bus sharing. |
| CEL, OEL, R/WL | Left port controls | Chip Enable (active-low), Output Enable (active-low), Read/Write (active-low); fully asynchronous operation. |
| INTL, BUSYL | Left port interrupt & BUSY | INTL is push-pull interrupt flag; BUSYL is open-drain BUSY output requiring 270 Ω pull-up - signals left-port write contention. |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | Independent 11-bit address bus; matches left port for arbitration - no internal address translation. |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | Electrically isolated 8-bit path; timing and drive strength identical to left port for symmetrical system design. |
| CER, OER, R/WR | Right port controls | Functionally identical to left-side controls; enables true dual-port concurrency without arbitration overhead. |
| INTR, BUSYR | Right port interrupt & BUSY | INTR is push-pull; BUSYR is open-drain - provides mirrored status signaling for right-port activity and conflict detection. |
| VCC, GND | Power supply | Multiple VCC/GND pins distributed across package - mandatory connection required for stable operation and EMI reduction. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip arbitration logic | Eliminates need for external glue logic in MASTER/SLAVE configurations - reduces PCB area and routing complexity in 16-bit+ memory expansions. |
| Dual independent interrupt mailboxes | Hardware-accelerated interprocessor signaling using fixed addresses 7FEH/7FFH, enabling deterministic response without polling or software overhead. |
| Open-drain BUSY outputs | Enables wired-OR expansion across multiple MASTER devices - supports scalable multi-SRAM arrays with unified BUSY indication. |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Permits simultaneous, unsynchronized access from two clock domains - essential for heterogeneous processor integration (e.g., ARM + DSP). |
| Industrial-grade reliability | Qualified over –40°C to +85°C with 100% production-tested AC timing - ensures consistent performance in harsh environments. |
Applications
| Motor Control Co-Processor Interface | DSP Offload Buffer |
|---|---|

Use Value: Asynchronous dual-port architecture avoids bus contention, sustaining 80 MB/s aggregate throughput across both ports. |
| Redundant Safety Controller Memory | Industrial PLC I/O Mapping Table |
Use Scenario: Dual-core lockstep safety controller validates memory writes via cross-checking - one core writes, other verifies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 71321SA55PFI provides atomic, hardware-arbitrated memory access; BUSY prevents simultaneous writes to same location. Use Value: Deterministic tBDD ≤ 50 ns ensures immediate write inhibition during contention - meeting SIL-3 functional safety timing requirements. | Use Scenario: PLC main CPU updates I/O configuration tables while real-time I/O scan engine reads current state values. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 71321SA55PFI functions as MASTER SRAM bridging CPU and scan engine; INTL/INTR flags signal table update completion. Use Value: 5V TTL compatibility integrates directly with legacy 5V I/O ASICs; industrial temp rating supports operation inside DIN-rail enclosures. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1371BV33-133AXC | 3.3V core, 133 MHz QDR interface, no native BUSY arbitration - requires external logic for contention resolution. | Targeted at high-bandwidth networking ASICs; lacks interrupt mailboxes and 5V compatibility. | Select only if migrating to 3.3V domain and adding custom arbitration; not drop-in for 71321SA55PFI's MASTER role. |
| IDT71421SA55PF | SLAVE-only variant; BUSY pins are inputs (not outputs); no on-chip arbitration logic; identical timing and pinout except BUSY/INT function reversal. | Used only in width-expanded arrays paired with 71321SA55PFI; cannot operate standalone as MASTER. | Valid companion part for 16-bit+ systems but not functionally equivalent - never substitutes for 71321SA55PFI in MASTER configuration. |
Compared with CY7C1371BV33-133AXC and IDT71421SA55PF, the 71321SA55PFI uniquely combines 5V operation, integrated MASTER arbitration, open-drain BUSY outputs, and hardware interrupt mailboxes - making it irreplaceable in legacy industrial designs requiring deterministic, self-contained dual-port memory control.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 71321SA55PFI?
The 71321SA55PFI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C. This specification is guaranteed across all electrical parameters including tRC = 55 ns (max), tINS/tINR ≤ 45 ns, and ISB3 ≤ 1.0 mA - validated per IDT DSC-2691/17 datasheet revision September 2019.
Does the 71321SA55PFI support battery backup data retention?
No, the 71321SA55PFI does not support battery backup data retention. That feature is exclusive to LA-suffix variants (e.g., 71321LA55PFI), which specify VDR = 2.0 V and ICCDR ≤ 4000 µA at –40°C to +85°C. The SA suffix indicates standard active-power operation only.
How are the BUSY outputs configured on the 71321SA55PFI?
The 71321SA55PFI features open-drain BUSYL and BUSYR outputs requiring external 270 Ω pull-up resistors to VCC. These signals assert low during address contention to inhibit writes on the respective port - a core part of its MASTER arbitration function, as defined in Truth Table III and Timing Waveform drw 12–13.
Can the 71321SA55PFI be used as a SLAVE device in a dual-port array?
No, the 71321SA55PFI is exclusively a MASTER device. Its BUSY pins are outputs and include on-chip arbitration logic. SLAVE functionality is implemented only in the IDT71421 series (e.g., 71421SA55PF), where BUSY pins are inputs and arbitration is disabled - per Functional Description section and Pin Configurations note 1.
What are the interrupt mailbox addresses for the 71321SA55PFI?
The 71321SA55PFI uses fixed interrupt mailbox addresses: writing to 7FEH (hex) sets the INTL flag, and writing to 7FFH sets the INTR flag. Clearing is performed by reading those same addresses with OE asserted - detailed in Truth Table II and Functional Description section on page 16 of the datasheet.
