Product details
Overview
IDT71342SA55J8 from Integrated Device Technology is a high-speed 4K × 8 dual-port static RAM with on-chip semaphore logic, operating at 55 ns max read cycle time, supporting independent asynchronous access from left and right ports, and featuring TTL-compatible 5V ±10% supply - used in real-time interprocessor communication systems requiring concurrent memory access without software arbitration.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71342SA55J8 datasheet, IDT71342SA55J8 pinout, IDT71342SA55J8 application, or IDT71342SA55J8 equivalent, this device delivers deterministic port-to-port timing (tDDD = 55 ns), hardware semaphore contention resolution (tSPS = 10 ns), low-power standby (ISB3 = 1.0 mA typ.), and industrial-grade reliability across –40°C to +85°C.
Technical Context
The IDT71342SA55J8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with separate address, control, and I/O buses for left (L) and right (R) ports, enabling simultaneous read/write operations without bus contention except at non-semaphore memory locations. Its dedicated 3-bit semaphore address space (A0–A2) and SEM pin enable hardware-level token passing between processors.
Semaphore logic uses dual request latches per flag with priority arbitration: only one side can write '0' to claim a flag, and the first valid write wins; subsequent writes from the other side are latched but deferred until release. Flag reads return uniform 8-bit values (all 0s or all 1s), latched on SEM/OE activation to prevent mid-cycle state changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 4K × 8 bits (32,768 bits total), split into main RAM and 8 semaphore flag locations |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 55 ns max - defines minimum interval between successive reads on same port |
| Address Access Time (tAA) | 55 ns max - determines earliest valid data output after address stabilization |
| Write Pulse Width (tWP) | 50 ns min - ensures reliable data capture during write cycles |
| Full Standby Current (ISB3) | 1.0 mA typical - power consumed when both ports disabled with CMOS-level inputs |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - supports standard TTL-compatible 5V systems with ±10% tolerance |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial environments without derating |
Pinout & Package
Package: 64-pin TQFP (PNG64), body size 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm, lead pitch 0.5 mm, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A11L | Left port address inputs | 12-bit address bus for left-side memory access (4K = 2¹²) |
| A0R–A11R | Right port address inputs | 12-bit address bus for right-side memory access, electrically isolated |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; high-impedance when OE/CE inactive |

| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; controls power-down entry (ISB1–ISB4) |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low enables data outputs; overrides R/W for tri-state control |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | Active-low write; high = read; determines direction of I/O pins |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore enable (left/right) | Active-low selects semaphore register space (A0–A2 only); disables RAM access |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 5V ±10% supply; all VCC pins must be connected |
| GND | Ground | Reference for all signals; all GND pins must be connected |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Applications
| Real-Time Dual-Processor Systems | High-Speed Data Acquisition Front-Ends |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Two independent CPUs share sensor data buffers and control registers in a motion-control PLC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port RAM acts as synchronized shared memory; semaphores coordinate access to critical I/O registers without CPU stalls. Use Value: Eliminates wait states during cross-processor data exchange; tDDD = 55 ns ensures sub-100 ns port-to-port write-read latency. |
Use Scenario: FPGA-based digitizer captures analog waveforms while ARM processor processes prior frames. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Right port accepts streaming ADC data; left port feeds processed results to host interface - no DMA arbitration needed. Use Value: Enables continuous 55 ns-cycle-rate data ingestion and concurrent analysis; ISB3 = 1.0 mA reduces idle power in battery-backed modules. |
| Telecom Line Card Buffering | Avionics Sensor Fusion Units |
Use Scenario: DSP and network processor exchange packet headers and metadata in a 10Gbps line card. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as zero-latency mailbox memory; semaphore flags signal buffer full/empty status between domains. Use Value: Prevents packet loss under burst traffic via hardware-guaranteed flag ownership; tSWR = 10 ns ensures immediate post-write semaphore visibility. |
Use Scenario: Multiple flight computers read inertial and GPS data from shared memory in a triple-redundant navigation unit. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides fault-isolated memory access; semaphores enforce strict read-before-write sequencing for integrity-critical updates. Use Value: Meets DO-254 deterministic timing requirements; –40°C to +85°C rating supports wide ambient operation in unpressurized bays. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1352BV33-55AXI | 3.3V supply, 55 ns access, 4K × 16 organization; no integrated semaphore logic | Requires external arbitration logic or software protocol; higher density but incompatible voltage | Select if system uses 3.3V core logic and can implement semaphore in firmware or companion CPLD |
| IDT71344SA55J8 | Same family, 8K × 8 organization; identical pinout, timing, and semaphore architecture | Provides double memory depth; requires PCB layout verification for signal integrity at extended trace lengths | Choose when application needs >4K bytes of shared memory without changing interface or timing margins |
Compared with CY7C1352BV33-55AXI and IDT71344SA55J8, the IDT71342SA55J8 uniquely balances 5V compatibility, hardware semaphore integration, and industrial temperature support in a proven 4K × 8 footprint - making it optimal for legacy 5V designs requiring deterministic interprocessor coordination.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the IDT71342SA55J8?
The IDT71342SA55J8 is rated for industrial operation from –40°C to +85°C. This range is validated across all electrical parameters including tRC = 55 ns max, ISB3 = 1.0 mA typical, and VIH/VIL thresholds - no derating required. The device uses CMOS process technology optimized for thermal stability in embedded control environments.
Does the IDT71342SA55J8 support battery backup for data retention?
No, the IDT71342SA55J8 does not support battery backup. Only the LA variant (e.g., IDT71342LA55J8) provides 2V data retention capability. The SA suffix indicates standard active power profile without retention mode; ICC = 140 mA typical during dual-port operation at 55 ns speed grade.
How many semaphore flags does the IDT71342SA55J8 provide, and how are they accessed?
The IDT71342SA55J8 provides eight hardware semaphore flags, each accessible via A0–A2 address lines when SEM is asserted low. Only I/O0 is used for writing; reads return uniform 8-bit values (all 0s or all 1s). Flag ownership is resolved in hardware with tSPS = 10 ns contention window - no external logic required.
What is the pin compatibility between IDT71342SA55J8 and IDT71344SA55J8?
IDT71342SA55J8 and IDT71344SA55J8 share identical 64-pin TQFP (PNG64) packaging, pinout, and timing specifications. The only functional difference is memory depth: 4K × 8 vs. 8K × 8. Address lines A12–A13 are N/C on IDT71342SA55J8 but used on IDT71344SA55J8 - allowing drop-in replacement where additional memory is not required.
Can both ports of the IDT71342SA55J8 perform read and write operations simultaneously?
Yes, both ports operate fully asynchronously: left and right ports can execute independent read or write cycles concurrently. Conflict occurs only when both attempt to write to the same non-semaphore memory location. Semaphore flags are protected against simultaneous writes - hardware guarantees exclusive ownership with tSPS = 10 ns resolution.
