Product details
Overview
7133SA20J from IDT is a high-speed 2K × 16 dual-port static RAM with master arbitration logic, 20 ns max read cycle time (commercial grade), TTL-compatible 5 V ±10% operation, and open-drain BUSY output requiring pull-up resistor - used in real-time multiprocessing systems requiring concurrent CPU and DMA access to shared memory.
For engineers reviewing the 7133SA20J datasheet, 7133SA20J pinout, 7133SA20J application, or 7133SA20J equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, byte-select write control, on-chip port arbitration behavior, battery backup capability (2 V data retention), and exact package mapping for 68-pin PLCC.
Technical Context
The 7133SA20J implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with independent left/right address, control, and I/O buses. It integrates on-chip arbitration logic exclusive to MASTER devices (IDT7133 series), enabling deterministic resolution of simultaneous accesses to identical memory locations via BUSY flag signaling.
It supports separate upper- and lower-byte write enables (R/WLUB/R/WLLB and R/WRUB/R/WRLB), TTL-level input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max), and automatic power-down via chip enable (CE) - delivering 25 mA typical standby current (ISB1) under TTL-level inputs at fMAX.
Key Specifications

| Memory Size | 2K × 16 bits (32,768-bit total, organized as 2048 words × 16-bit wide) |
| Max Read Cycle Time | 20 ns (commercial temperature range, guarantees full-speed interface with 50 MHz bus clocks) |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% (4.5–5.5 V), single-rail operation compatible with legacy TTL systems |
| Active Current (Typ.) | 250 mA (both ports active, f = fMAX), defining thermal and PCB layout requirements |
| Data Retention | 2 V minimum VCC (LA variant only; SA variant not rated for battery backup) |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C (commercial grade), validated across full voltage and timing margins |
| Package | 68-pin PLCC (PLG68), body size ≈ 0.95″ × 0.95″ × 0.17″, lead-free option available |
Pinout & Package
7133SA20J is packaged in a 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC, code PLG68), with dual-row gull-wing leads, surface-mount compatible, and requires both VCC pins (pins 17 & 51) and both GND pins (pins 34 & 68) to be connected for reliable operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L / A0R–A10R | Address Inputs (Left/Right Port) | 11-bit address per port, supporting full 2K-word addressing independently |
| I/O0L–I/O15L / I/O0R–I/O15R | Bidirectional Data Bus (Left/Right) | 16-bit parallel data path per port; high-impedance when CE or OE inactive |
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low enables port access; controls power-down mode when HIGH |
| R/WLUB / R/WRUB | Upper-Byte Write Enable (Left/Right) | Asserts write to I/O8–I/O15 only; enables byte-granular memory updates |
| R/WLLB / R/WRLB | Lower-Byte Write Enable (Left/Right) | Asserts write to I/O0–I/O7 only; eliminates need for external byte masking logic |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low enables data output drivers; decouples read timing from CE |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Left/Right) | BUSYL is open-drain output (requires pull-up); BUSYR is input-only on SLAVE - confirms MASTER arbitration role |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| On-chip port arbitration logic | Resolves simultaneous same-address access deterministically using BUSY flag - eliminates need for external arbitration circuitry |
| Separate upper/lower byte write control | Enables atomic 8-bit writes without disturbing adjacent bytes - critical for multi-CPU register-mapped I/O |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Permits independent, non-synchronized reads/writes from either port - supports real-time interrupt servicing and DMA coexistence |
| Open-drain BUSY output with pull-up requirement | Allows wired-OR of multiple BUSY signals for system-level contention detection - used as hardware interrupt source |
| Master/Slave expandability | One 7133SA20J MASTER + multiple 7143SLAVE devices scale data width to 32+ bits without "busy lock-out" - validated in width-expansion topologies |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cypress CY7C136-25JC | 2K × 16, 25 ns access, no built-in arbitration logic; BUSY must be implemented externally | Requires additional logic for contention management; unsuitable for MASTER/SLAVE expansion | Select when arbitration is handled at system level and lowest-cost 25 ns solution is required |
| IDT7143SA20J | Pin-compatible SLAVE device; BUSY pin is input-only; no arbitration logic; identical timing and packaging | Used only in width-expanded systems with 7133SA20J MASTER; cannot operate stand-alone as arbitrator | Select only as companion SLAVE in 32-bit+ memory systems - never as direct functional replacement |
Compared with CY7C136-25JC, 7133SA20J integrates arbitration and eliminates external logic; compared with IDT7143SA20J, it provides MASTER functionality essential for standalone or width-expansion use - making it the sole choice for systems requiring deterministic hardware arbitration.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pin on the 7133SA20J?
The BUSY pin on the 7133SA20J is an open-drain output that signals port contention when both left and right ports attempt simultaneous access to the same memory location. It requires an external pull-up resistor and is used to stall the contending port until the winning access completes. This hardware arbitration eliminates software-based locking mechanisms and ensures deterministic behavior in real-time systems using the 7133SA20J.
Can the 7133SA20J operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the 7133SA20J is specified exclusively for 5.0 V ±10% (4.5–5.5 V) operation and is TTL-compatible. Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) and internal logic levels are not guaranteed at 3.3 V. Using 3.3 V may result in undefined behavior, timing violations, or failure to meet the 20 ns read cycle specification. For 3.3 V dual-port SRAM, consider IDT71V256SA or similar LVDS/TTL-compatible variants.
Is the 7133SA20J pin-compatible with the IDT7143SA20J?
Yes, the 7133SA20J and IDT7143SA20J share identical pinouts and package footprints (68-pin PLCC), but they are functionally distinct: the 7133SA20J is the MASTER device with on-chip arbitration logic and open-drain BUSY output, while the 7143SA20J is the SLAVE device with BUSY as an input-only pin and no arbitration logic. They are designed to operate together in width-expanded systems, not as interchangeable replacements.
Does the 7133SA20J support battery backup data retention?
No - only the LA suffix variants (e.g., 7133LA20J) support 2 V data retention. The 7133SA20J is the standard-power version with active current of 250 mA (typ.) and standby current of 25 mA (typ.); it lacks the low-leakage design features required for reliable data retention below 4.5 V. For battery-backed operation, the LA variant must be selected and properly biased per the data retention waveform in the datasheet.
What is the significance of "SA" in the part number 7133SA20J?
The "SA" in 7133SA20J denotes the standard-power, commercial-grade variant: "S" indicates standard active power consumption (1150 mW typ. active, 5 mW typ. standby), and "A" specifies commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C). It distinguishes the part from "LA" (low-power, battery-retention capable) and "S"/"L" military or industrial variants. The "20" indicates 20 ns maximum read cycle time.
