Product details
Overview
7133LA55J8 from IDT is a high-speed 2K × 16 dual-port static RAM with master arbitration logic, 55 ns max read cycle time, 2V data retention capability, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It enables simultaneous asynchronous access from two independent ports in real-time embedded systems requiring deterministic memory contention resolution - such as dual-CPU communication buffers or video frame buffer controllers.
For engineers reviewing the 7133LA55J8 datasheet, 7133LA55J8 pinout, 7133LA55J8 application, or 7133LA55J8 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical specs, validated pin functions, confirmed package mapping (68-pin PLCC), and two technically documented alternative parts for width-expansion or low-power dual-port SRAM selection.
Technical Context
The 7133LA55J8 implements on-chip port arbitration logic that resolves simultaneous accesses to identical addresses by asserting BUSY on the losing port - a hardware-enforced priority mechanism unique to the MASTER IDT7133 family. Its open-drain BUSYL/BUSYR outputs require external pull-up resistors and support cascaded MASTER/SLAVE configurations for 32-bit+ bus expansion without external logic.
It operates fully asynchronously per port with separate byte-level write enables (R/WLUB/R/WLLB and R/WRUB/R/WRLB), TTL-compatible signaling, single 5V ±10% supply, and battery backup mode enabling 2V data retention. The LA variant reduces active power to 1050 mW (typ.) and standby current to 1 mA (typ.), critical for power-constrained industrial control nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2K × 16 bits (32,768 bits total); supports independent 16-bit word access per port |
| Read Cycle Time | 55 ns max - defines minimum interval between successive reads on same port |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - enables battery-backed operation during main power loss |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5V TTL logic rails |

| Active Power | 1050 mW typ. - 100 mW lower than SA variant, reducing thermal load in dense PCB layouts |
Pinout & Package
7133LA55J8 is packaged in a 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), body size ≈ 0.95 in × 0.95 in × 0.17 in. Both VCC and GND pins must be connected for reliable operation.

| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low tri-state control for I/O drivers; allows shared bus operation |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Open-Drain Output) | Indicates arbitration conflict on same-address access; requires external pull-up resistor |
| A0L–A10L / A0R–A10R | Address Inputs | 11-bit address per port (211 = 2048 locations); supports full 2K × 16 addressing |
| I/O0L–I/O15L / I/O0R–I/O15R | Data I/O (Bidirectional) | 16-bit parallel data path per port; electrically isolated for true dual-port concurrency |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Real-Time Dual-CPU Communication Buffer | Video Frame Buffer Controller |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Two independent processors exchange status, commands, and telemetry via shared memory without software locks or interrupts. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port SRAM acts as a lock-free inter-processor communication channel with hardware arbitration preventing data corruption during concurrent access. Use Value: Eliminates CPU stalls and race conditions; 55 ns access enables sub-18 MHz CPU handshake rates in deterministic control loops. |
Use Scenario: A graphics controller writes pixel data while a display engine reads out frames - both operating at different clock domains. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as a ping-pong frame buffer where one port writes new frame data while the other reads current frame for output. Use Value: Enables seamless frame switching with zero visual tearing; 2K × 16 capacity supports 1024×16 monochrome or segmented display buffers. |
| Industrial PLC I/O Mapping Memory | Digital Signal Processor Co-Processor Interface |
Use Scenario: Programmable Logic Controller uses dual-port RAM to decouple scan-cycle execution from real-time I/O update timing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Left port interfaces with I/O modules (scan-driven), right port interfaces with CPU (task-driven) - synchronized via BUSY arbitration. Use Value: Guarantees atomic I/O state capture; 2V retention preserves last valid I/O image during brief power interruptions. |
Use Scenario: DSP offloads compute-intensive filtering to a host microcontroller, sharing coefficient tables and streaming samples. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides zero-wait-state memory window for bidirectional parameter and sample exchange between heterogeneous processors. Use Value: Reduces inter-processor latency to ≤55 ns; byte-select writes allow efficient coefficient updates without disturbing adjacent filter taps. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT7143LA55J8 | SLAVE-only device; BUSY pins are inputs only; no on-chip arbitration logic | Requires external MASTER (e.g., 7133LA55J8) for BUSY arbitration; used only in width-expanded systems | Select when building 32-bit+ dual-port memory arrays where one MASTER coordinates multiple SLAVES |
| Cypress CY7C136-55JC | 55 ns access, 2K × 16, but lacks built-in BUSY arbitration; requires external logic for contention resolution | Suitable for simpler dual-access systems where software coordination or external arbitration is acceptable | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs need for hardware arbitration, or when legacy Cypress footprint compatibility is required |
Compared with IDT7143LA55J8 and CY7C136-55JC, the 7133LA55J8 uniquely integrates master arbitration logic and open-drain BUSY outputs - enabling self-contained, scalable dual-port memory systems without discrete glue logic or firmware overhead.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pins on the 7133LA55J8?
The BUSYL and BUSYR pins on the 7133LA55J8 are open-drain outputs that signal arbitration conflicts when both ports attempt access to the same memory location simultaneously. When asserted, they stall the losing port's operation - preventing data corruption. External pull-up resistors are mandatory, and these signals enable MASTER/SLAVE cascading with IDT7143 devices for wider bus implementations.
Does the 7133LA55J8 support battery backup operation?
Yes, the 7133LA55J8 supports battery backup operation down to 2.0 V (VDR), retaining stored data during main power loss. This is enabled by its low standby current of 1 mA (typ.) and CMOS design - allowing direct connection to a 2V backup source without additional regulators or switches.
Can the 7133LA55J8 be used without external arbitration logic?
Yes - the 7133LA55J8 contains integrated arbitration logic and requires no external components to resolve port contention. Its BUSY outputs directly manage access priority, making it self-contained for dual-CPU or processor-peripheral communication where deterministic, lock-free memory sharing is essential.
What package type is used for the 7133LA55J8?
The 7133LA55J8 is supplied in a 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, with dimensions approximately 0.95 in × 0.95 in × 0.17 in. Pin 1 is marked with a notch or dot, and both VCC and GND pins must be connected to ensure reliable operation per manufacturer specifications.
How does the 7133LA55J8 differ from the SA version?
The 7133LA55J8 consumes 100 mW less active power (1050 mW vs. 1150 mW typ.) and achieves 1 mA vs. 5 mA typical standby current compared to the SA variant. This is achieved through optimized CMOS process tuning - making the LA version preferred for thermally constrained or battery-assisted industrial applications without sacrificing speed or functionality.
