Product details
Overview
IDT71342SA20J from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed 4K × 8 dual-port static RAM with on-chip semaphore logic, designed for interprocessor communication in real-time embedded systems. It delivers 20 ns max access time (commercial grade), operates at 5 V ±10%, supports fully asynchronous dual-port operation, and features hardware semaphore flags for conflict-free resource arbitration between left and right ports. It is used in industrial control backplanes requiring deterministic memory sharing.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71342SA20J datasheet, IDT71342SA20J pinout, IDT71342SA20J application, or IDT71342SA20J equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port timing independence, semaphore flag latency (tSOP = 10 ns), 52-pin PLCC package compatibility, and TTL-level interface compliance without level-shifting.
Technical Context
The IDT71342SA20J implements two independent CMOS SRAM ports-left (L) and right (R)-each with dedicated address (A0L–A11L / A0R–A11R), data (I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R), and control lines (CEL/CER, OEL/OER, R/WL/R/WR). Semaphore logic resides in a separate 8-location address space (A0–A2 only) accessed via SEM pin assertion, with active-low token semantics and automatic contention resolution.
Its power management uses CE and SEM to gate port-level circuitry into low-power standby modes: ISB3 = 1.0 mA (typ.) full standby, ISB1 = 25 mA (typ.) TTL-level standby. The device requires no external arbitration logic and guarantees atomic semaphore acquisition even under simultaneous write attempts from both ports.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 4K × 8 bits (4096 words × 8-bit wide), split across two independent address spaces |
| Access Time | 20 ns (max) - defines minimum read cycle time (tRC) for commercial-grade timing compliance |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - TTL-compatible single-supply operation; no mixed-voltage interface required |
| Semaphore Latency | tSOP = 10 ns (min) - pulse width for SEM flag update, critical for tight interprocessor handshake loops |
| Standby Current | ISB3 = 1.0 mA (typ.) - full standby current with CMOS-level inputs, enabling low-power idle states |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to +70°C - commercial temperature range confirmed for IDT71342SA20J variant |
| Package | 52-pin PLCC (PLG52) - surface-mount compatible with standard reflow profiles and board-level repair accessibility |
Pinout & Package
Package: 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), body size ≈ 20.0 mm × 20.0 mm × 4.3 mm, lead pitch 0.635 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low enable for respective port; controls power-down entry when HIGH |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low output driver control; enables tristate I/O during read cycles |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left / Right) | Active-low write command; determines direction of data flow per port |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore Select (Left / Right) | Active-low chip select for semaphore register space; disables SRAM access when asserted |
| A0L–A11L / A0R–A11R | Address Inputs (Left / Right) | 12-bit address bus per port; A0–A2 used exclusively for semaphore addressing when SEM active |
| I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R | Data I/O (Left / Right) | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus; D0 only used for semaphore writes; all bits reflect flag state on reads |
| VCC / GND | Power / Ground | Single 5 V supply; all VCC pins must be decoupled locally; all GND pins tied to common ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fully asynchronous dual-port operation | Independent left/right access with zero port-to-port timing dependency - eliminates arbitration wait states |
| On-chip semaphore logic | Eight dedicated binary flags with atomic set/test semantics and guaranteed single-winner resolution on simultaneous requests |
| Hardware-controlled power-down | CE- and SEM-gated standby modes reduce dynamic current to ≤1.0 mA (typ.), extending system-level energy efficiency |
| TTL-compatible interface | Direct connection to 5 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level shifters or pull-up resistors |
| Separate semaphore address space | A0–A2 only decode semaphore locations; avoids address collision with main 4K memory map |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM with semaphore applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C024AV-20AXC | 25 ns access time, 64-pin TQFP only, no battery backup support | Requires PCB redesign for 64-pin footprint; lacks PLCC option for legacy repairability | Preferred where higher pin count allows routing flexibility and industrial temp range is mandatory |
| IDT71342LA25J | 25 ns access, industrial temp (–40°C to +85°C), lower standby current (ISB3 = 0.2 mA typ.) | Valid for extended temperature environments but slower timing margin than IDT71342SA20J | Select when operating in harsh environments and 25 ns latency is acceptable for system timing budget |
Compared with CY7C024AV-20AXC and IDT71342LA25J, the IDT71342SA20J offers the fastest commercial-grade access (20 ns) in the 52-pin PLCC package, making it optimal for space-constrained, high-throughput designs where legacy footprint compatibility and minimal timing slack are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum access speed of the IDT71342SA20J?
The IDT71342SA20J has a maximum access time of 20 ns for both read and write operations under commercial temperature conditions (0°C to +70°C). This corresponds to a read cycle time (tRC) of 20 ns and is validated per AC Electrical Characteristics Table 9a in the official datasheet. The IDT71342SA20J achieves this performance using high-speed CMOS process technology and optimized internal decoding paths.
Does the IDT71342SA20J support battery backup operation?
No, the IDT71342SA20J does not support battery backup operation. Battery retention capability (VDR = 2.0 V, ICCDR ≤ 1500 µA) is exclusive to LA-grade variants such as IDT71342LA25J. The IDT71342SA20J is rated for commercial temperature range only and lacks the low-voltage retention circuitry present in LA versions.
How many semaphore flags does the IDT71342SA20J provide, and how are they accessed?
The IDT71342SA20J provides eight independent binary semaphore flags, each accessible via a dedicated 3-bit address (A0–A2) when SEM is asserted LOW. Only I/O0 is used for writing semaphore values (0 = request token, 1 = release), while all eight I/O lines reflect the flag state on reads. Access is fully isolated from the main 4K × 8 memory space.
What package type is used for the IDT71342SA20J?
The IDT71342SA20J is packaged in a 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), designated PLG52. Its dimensions are approximately 20.0 mm × 20.0 mm × 4.3 mm, with standard PLCC lead form for through-hole or surface-mount assembly. This differs from the 64-pin TQFP option used by other variants like IDT71342LA25J.
Can both ports of the IDT71342SA20J perform simultaneous read and write operations?
Yes, the IDT71342SA20J supports fully asynchronous dual-port operation: the left and right ports can independently execute reads or writes to any memory location at the same time. However, simultaneous writes to the same non-semaphore address cause undefined data; semaphore locations are protected against such conflicts by dedicated hardware logic.
