Product details
Overview
71321SA55TF8 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 output logic for interprocessor communication. It operates at 55 ns max access time, supports fully asynchronous dual-port reads/writes, and uses a single 5V ±10% supply. It serves as a MASTER device in width-expanded memory systems with IDT71421 SLAVE devices in industrial embedded controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 71321SA55TF8 datasheet, 71321SA55TF8 pinout, 71321SA55TF8 application, or 71321SA55TF8 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, validated pin functions, confirmed interrupt mailbox behavior (7FEH/7FFH), and precise standby current specs (1.0 mA full standby) - all critical for real-time multi-CPU shared-memory designs.
Technical Context
The 71321SA55TF8 implements hardware-based port arbitration using CE and address-match detection (tAPS = 5 ns), asserting BUSYL/BUSYR outputs to block concurrent writes to identical addresses. Its interrupt logic uses dedicated SRAM locations (7FEH for INTL, 7FFH for INTR) with tINS/tINR ≤ 45 ns, enabling deterministic inter-processor signaling without software polling.
It features open-drain BUSY/INT outputs requiring 270 Ω pull-up resistors, TTL-compatible I/Os, and automatic power-down via CE control - delivering ISB3 = 1.0 mA (typ.) full standby current at VCC = 5V. The device supports battery backup data retention only in LA variants; the SA suffix confirms standard-power operation without retention capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits), dual-port independent access |
| Max Access Time | 55 ns - defines minimum read cycle time (tRC) for worst-case timing closure |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5–5.5 V - requires single 5V ±10% rail; no dual-supply or level-shifting needed |
| Full Standby Current | 1.0 mA (typ.) - achieved when both CE pins > VCC − 0.2 V and inputs at CMOS levels |
| Interrupt Latency | tINS ≤ 45 ns - maximum delay from write to 7FFH/7FEH until INTR/INTL assertion |
| BUSY Arbitration Setup | tAPS = 5 ns - minimum setup time for address match to guarantee deterministic BUSY resolution |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial ambient conditions without derating |
Pinout & Package
71321SA55TF8 is packaged in a 64-pin STQFP (PPG64), measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, with exposed thermal pad (not electrically connected). Pin assignments are validated per IDT DSC-2691 Rev. 17, Figure 3 (PPG64 top view).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side memory access (000H–7FFH) |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for right-side memory access (000H–7FFH) |
| 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 I/O drivers; does not affect internal memory access |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | High = read, low = write; determines direction of I/O data flow |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags (output) | Open-drain outputs; require external 270 Ω pull-up; assert on mailbox writes |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | BUSY status (output) | Open-drain outputs; indicate port contention; require 270 Ω pull-up |
| VCC | Power supply | Two dedicated pins (pins 33, 48); must be decoupled locally |
| GND | Ground | Two dedicated pins (pins 32, 47); mandatory connection to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip port arbitration logic | Resolves simultaneous accesses to same address without external logic; guarantees one port wins deterministically |
| Dual interrupt mailboxes (7FEH/7FFH) | Enables hardware-synchronized interprocessor messaging with sub-45 ns flag assertion |
| Open-drain BUSY/INT outputs | Allows wired-OR expansion across multiple MASTER devices in wide-memory arrays |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Eliminates clock domain crossing; supports independent CPU, FPGA, or ASIC interfaces |
| Industrial temperature support | Validated operation from −40°C to +85°C with no timing or current derating |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Memory | Real-Time Multi-Core Communication Buffer |
|---|---|

Use Value: tAPS = 5 ns arbitration setup ensures reliable conflict resolution even under worst-case skew between bus controllers' address strobes. |
Use Scenario: CT scanner subsystem uses two processors: one for image reconstruction, another for real-time display rendering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shared frame buffer with separate read/write ports eliminating DMA coherency overhead. Use Value: 2K × 8 capacity supports dual 1024×1024 pixel buffers; ISB3 = 1.0 mA standby minimizes power in idle imaging cycles. |
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 supply; 133 MHz QDR interface; no native BUSY arbitration | Requires external logic for contention resolution; suited for high-bandwidth cache-like use, not interprocessor signaling | Select only if migrating to 3.3V ecosystem and adding custom arbitration logic |
| IDT71421SA55TF8 | SLAVE-only variant; BUSY pins are inputs; no on-chip arbitration logic | Must pair with 71321SA55TF8 MASTER; used only for width expansion beyond 8-bit data paths | Required companion part for building 16-bit+ memory systems; not standalone functional replacement |
Compared with CY7C1371BV33-133AXC and IDT71421SA55TF8, the 71321SA55TF8 uniquely integrates arbitration and interrupt logic in a 5V-compatible package - eliminating external glue logic for deterministic inter-CPU communication, unlike the QDR part, and enabling standalone MASTER operation, unlike the SLAVE-only 71421.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pins on the 71321SA55TF8?
The BUSYL and BUSYR pins on the 71321SA55TF8 are open-drain outputs that signal port contention when both ports attempt to access the same memory address. They require 270 Ω pull-up resistors and directly inhibit writes on the contending port. This hardware arbitration eliminates race conditions without software intervention - a core feature distinguishing the 71321SA55TF8 from standard SRAMs.
Does the 71321SA55TF8 support battery backup data retention?
No. The 71321SA55TF8 is an SA-suffix device, indicating standard-power operation without battery backup capability. Only LA-suffix variants (e.g., 71321LA55TF8) support 2V data retention. The SA version draws 1.0 mA (typ.) in full standby but does not retain data below 4.5V - confirmed by DC Electrical Characteristics Table 4a and Data Retention Characteristics Table 6.
How do the interrupt flags (INTL/INTR) operate in the 71321SA55TF8?
The 71321SA55TF8 uses fixed SRAM addresses 7FEH (for INTL) and 7FFH (for INTR) as interrupt mailboxes. Writing to 7FFH via the left port asserts INTR; reading 7FFH via the right port clears it. Similarly, 7FEH controls INTL. Timing is guaranteed: tINS ≤ 45 ns and tINR ≤ 45 ns at 55 ns speed grade - enabling hard real-time interprocessor signaling without polling overhead.
Can the 71321SA55TF8 be used without external pull-up resistors on BUSY/INT pins?
No. The BUSYL, BUSYR, INTL, and INTR pins are open-drain outputs and will not drive HIGH without external 270 Ω pull-up resistors to VCC, as explicitly required in Notes 1 and 2 of the Functional Block Diagram and Pin Configurations. Omitting these resistors results in undefined logic levels and failed arbitration or interrupt signaling - a design requirement, not a recommendation.
What is the difference between 71321SA55TF8 and 71421SA55TF8?
The 71321SA55TF8 is the MASTER device with on-chip arbitration logic, BUSY outputs, and interrupt generation capability. The 71421SA55TF8 is the SLAVE device: its BUSY pins are inputs (not outputs), it lacks arbitration logic, and it cannot generate interrupts independently. They are complementary - not interchangeable - and designed to be used together in width-expanded memory systems per IDT's MASTER/SLAVE architecture.
