Product details
Overview
7140LA55J from IDT is a 1K × 8 dual-port static RAM configured as a SLAVE device in MASTER/SLAVE memory expansion systems, supporting fully asynchronous left/right port access with 55 ns max read cycle time, 2V data retention capability, and TTL-compatible 5V ±10% operation - used in real-time DSP co-processing and military-grade avionics inter-processor communication.
For engineers reviewing the 7140LA55J datasheet, 7140LA55J pinout, 7140LA55J application, or 7140LA55J equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, BUSY input behavior, battery backup operation limits, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) compliance for deterministic dual-port memory integration.
Technical Context
The 7140LA55J implements independent left/right address/data/control paths with no internal arbitration logic - unlike the MASTER IDT7130, it relies on external BUSY signaling for contention resolution. Its BUSYL and BUSYR pins are dedicated inputs that inhibit writes when asserted low, enabling deterministic port-to-port synchronization in shared-memory architectures.
It supports two distinct power modes: active operation at 550 mW typical (5V, both ports active), and full standby at ≤10 µA (CMOS-level CE high), with guaranteed 2V data retention during battery backup. All I/Os are TTL-compatible with VIH ≥ 2.2 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V under 5V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 1,024 × 8 bits - provides byte-wide dual-access storage without external data bus widening logic |
| Access Time | 55 ns max tRC - enables synchronous interfacing with 18 MHz microcontrollers or DSPs |
| Data Retention | 2.0 V min VCC - supports battery-backed operation during main power loss in mission-critical systems |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded control and aerospace subsystems |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and tolerant of ±10% regulation variance |
| Standby Current | ≤10 µA (ISB3, CMOS CE high) - enables ultra-low-power hold mode in portable or remote-sensor applications |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible - eliminates level-shifting requirements when interfacing with legacy 5V microcontrollers |
Pinout & Package
7140LA55J is available in 48-pin ceramic flatpack (FP48) and 48-pin plastic DIP (PDG48/SB48) packages. Pin functions are identical across these variants per IDT documentation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | Two dedicated pins (1, 24) require low-inductance connection to system ground plane |
| VCC | Power supply | Two dedicated pins (23, 48) must be decoupled with 0.1 µF ceramic capacitors near each pin |
| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; controls ISB1/ISB2 standby current states |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low enables I/O drivers; high-Z state reduces bus loading during multiplexed access |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | High = read, low = write; determines direction of data flow on I/O0–I/O7 lines |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Arbitration input (left/right) | SLAVE-only inputs - low assertion blocks writes to corresponding port during contention |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flag (left/right) | Open-drain outputs - require external pull-up; signal cross-port event completion or address match |
| A0L–A9L / A0R–A9R | Address inputs (left/right) | 10-bit addressing per port - supports full 1K memory map independently on each side |
| I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R | Data I/O (left/right) | Bidirectional 8-bit buses - share same physical pins for read and write operations per port |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SLAVE-only architecture | Eliminates need for external arbitration logic when paired with IDT7130 MASTER - reduces BOM count and PCB area |
| 2V data retention | Enables seamless transition to battery backup during main power failure - critical for flight data recorders and black-box systems |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Allows independent read/write cycles on left and right ports with no clock synchronization required - ideal for real-time inter-processor messaging |
| Industrial temperature rating | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C - suitable for under-hood automotive ECUs and outdoor telecom base stations |
| TTL-compatible I/O | Direct interface with legacy 5V microcontrollers (e.g., Intel 80C188, Motorola 68HC11) without level translators |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1355KV18-55BZXI | 1M × 18 QDR SRAM, 1.8V core, 3.3V I/O; no BUSY arbitration; requires external logic for contention handling | Higher density but lacks native SLAVE arbitration - unsuitable for drop-in replacement in IDT7130/7140 MASTER/SLAVE systems | Select only if migrating to QDR architecture with FPGA-based arbitration and voltage translation |
| AS7C31026B-55JCIN | 1M × 16 async SRAM, single-port, 3.3V only; no dual-port capability or BUSY signaling | Cannot support simultaneous left/right access - requires redesign of memory controller and software layer | Use only for cost-sensitive, non-real-time applications where dual-port functionality is unnecessary |
Compared with CY7C1355KV18-55BZXI and AS7C31026B-55JCIN, the 7140LA55J uniquely delivers native SLAVE arbitration, 2V data retention, and industrial temperature operation in a pin-compatible 48-pin footprint - making it irreplaceable for legacy IDT-based dual-port memory systems requiring deterministic contention resolution.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 7140LA55J?
The 7140LA55J is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, validated across all electrical parameters including 55 ns access time, 2V data retention, and standby current. This range is explicitly confirmed in IDT's "Recommended Operating Temperature and Supply Voltage" table and applies to all package variants (FP48, PDG48, SB48) of the 7140LA55J.
Does the 7140LA55J include on-chip arbitration logic?
No, the 7140LA55J does not include on-chip arbitration logic - it is a SLAVE-only device. Arbitration is handled externally via its BUSYL and BUSYR input pins, which must be driven low by a MASTER device (e.g., IDT7130) during address contention. This architectural distinction is fundamental: only the IDT7130 MASTER contains internal arbitration circuitry.
Can the 7140LA55J retain data at 2V, and under what conditions?
Yes, the 7140LA55J guarantees data retention at VCC = 2.0 V minimum, as specified in the "Data Retention Characteristics (LA Version Only)" table. This applies only when CE is held high (standby mode), ambient temperature is +25°C, and the device is in full standby (ISB3 condition). The parameter is guaranteed but not production tested per IDT documentation.
What is the function of the BUSYL and BUSYR pins on the 7140LA55J?
On the 7140LA55J, BUSYL and BUSYR are dedicated arbitration input pins - not outputs. When either pin is driven low by an external MASTER device (e.g., IDT7130), writes to the corresponding port (left or right) are internally inhibited. This behavior is strictly defined in Truth Table III and distinguishes the 7140LA55J from the MASTER IDT7130, whose BUSY pins are open-drain outputs.
Is the 7140LA55J pin-compatible with other speed grades in the IDT7140LA family?
Yes, the 7140LA55J is pin-compatible with all IDT7140LA speed variants (e.g., 7140LA25J, 7140LA35J) across identical package types (FP48, PDG48, SB48). Pin functions, voltage levels, and timing interfaces are identical; only AC timing parameters (tRC, tAA, etc.) differ. This allows direct substitution in existing layouts when timing margins permit.
