Product details
Overview
7140SA20PF from IDT (Integrated Device Technology) 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 20 ns max read cycle time, TTL-compatible 5V ±10% operation, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It enables error-free 16-bit-or-wider memory systems without external arbitration logic.
For engineers reviewing the 7140SA20PF datasheet, 7140SA20PF pinout, 7140SA20PF application, or 7140SA20PF equivalent, key selection considerations include BUSY input behavior (not output), R/W-controlled vs. CE-controlled write timing, port-to-port contention resolution via tAPS setup, tBDD delay validation, and compatibility with IDT7130SA20PF as MASTER in shared-bus architectures.
Technical Context
The 7140SA20PF implements independent left and right ports with separate address (A0L–A9L / A0R–A9R), data (I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R), and control lines (CEL/OEL/R/WL and CER/OER/R/WR). BUSYL and BUSYR are dedicated inputs - not outputs - used to inhibit writes during port contention, requiring external assertion from a MASTER IDT7130 device.
Arbitration is externally managed: tAPS = 5 ns minimum ensures priority resolution when addresses match; tWB = 0 ns means BUSY assertion occurs immediately upon write initiation on the opposing port; tWDD ≤ 40 ns and tDDD ≤ 30 ns define worst-case propagation delays for data visibility after write completion. No on-chip arbitration logic is present - unlike the IDT7130.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 1K × 8 (1024 words × 8 bits), dual-port SRAM with independent left/right access paths |
| Max Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 20 ns - defines minimum interval between successive reads on same port |
| Address Access Time (tAA) | 20 ns - time from stable address to valid data at outputs (OE-enabled) |
| Chip Enable Access (tACE) | 20 ns - time from CE assertion to valid data, critical for burst or pipelined access |
| Active Power (ICC) | 110 mA typ. - corresponds to ~550 mW at 5V, enabling high-speed operation without thermal derating |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 30 mA typ. - TTL-level standby with both CE pins high; supports low-power idle states |
| Input Leakage (|ILI|) | 10 µA max. - ensures reliable logic-level recognition across industrial temperature range |
Pinout & Package
7140SA20PF is packaged in a 48-pin ceramic flatpack (FP48), measuring approximately 0.75 in × 0.75 in × 0.11 in, with through-hole mounting and hermetic sealing suitable for industrial and military applications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground reference | All GND pins must be connected to system ground plane for noise immunity and signal integrity |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 5V ±10% supply; all VCC pins require local 0.1 µF decoupling to suppress switching noise |
| CEL, CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables; deassertion places respective port in high-impedance or standby mode |
| OEL, OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low controls I/O bus drivers; high-Z state prevents bus contention during multi-port sharing |
| R/WL, R/WR | Read/write direction (left/right) | High = read, low = write; determines data flow direction independently per port |
| BUSYL, BUSYR | Bus busy input (left/right) | Open-drain inputs driven LOW by MASTER IDT7130 to block writes during address contention |
| INTL, INTR | Interrupt flag (left/right) | Open-drain outputs signaling inter-port communication events; require pull-up resistors |
| A0L–A9L, A0R–A9R | Address inputs (left/right) | 10-bit address buses selecting one of 1024 memory locations per port |
| I/O0L–I/O7L, I/O0R–I/O7R | Data I/O (left/right) | Bidirectional 8-bit data paths; direction controlled by R/W and OE signals per port |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 7140SA20PF acts as SLAVE memory in a MASTER/SLAVE pair with IDT7130, providing contention-free dual-port access with hardware arbitration. Use Value: Eliminates polling or semaphores; tBDD ≤ 25 ns ensures rapid resolution of simultaneous access attempts. |
Use Scenario: FPGA-based motion controller reads trajectory data while a safety monitor writes fault logs to same memory space. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: 7140SA20PF serves as SLAVE port for safety-critical write path, with BUSY inputs synchronized to MASTER's arbitration logic. Use Value: Prevents overwrites during concurrent access; tWDD ≤ 40 ns guarantees timely visibility of updated safety flags. |
| Legacy System Memory Expansion | Test Equipment Pattern Memory |
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C131-20VXI | Single-port SRAM with external bus controller; no native BUSY arbitration or SLAVE mode | Requires discrete logic for dual-port emulation; higher BOM count and layout complexity | Select only if existing design uses Cypress ecosystem and can absorb added control overhead |
| IDT7130SA20PF | MASTER device with on-chip arbitration, BUSY outputs, and INT generation - not pin-compatible | Cannot substitute directly; serves complementary role in same system as 7140SA20PF | Use only as paired MASTER in new 16-bit+ memory designs; not a drop-in replacement |
Compared with CY7C131-20VXI and IDT7130SA20PF, the 7140SA20PF uniquely delivers verified SLAVE functionality with guaranteed tAPS/tBDD timing, enabling simpler, lower-power dual-port systems without external arbitration ICs or firmware coordination.

FAQ
What is the function of BUSYL and BUSYR on the 7140SA20PF?
BUSYL and BUSYR are dedicated input terminals - not outputs - that must be driven LOW by an external MASTER device (e.g., IDT7130SA20PF) to inhibit writes on the corresponding port during address contention. They are open-drain and require pull-up resistors. The 7140SA20PF itself does not generate BUSY signals.
Can the 7140SA20PF operate as a standalone dual-port RAM without a MASTER device?
No. The 7140SA20PF is explicitly designed as a SLAVE device and lacks on-chip arbitration logic, BUSY output capability, and interrupt generation circuitry. It requires pairing with an IDT7130-series MASTER to resolve port contention and manage inter-port communication - operating alone risks undetected data corruption.
What is the significance of tAPS = 5 ns in 7140SA20PF timing?
tAPS (Arbitration Priority Set-up Time) is the minimum time the MASTER must assert matching addresses on both ports before enabling CE to ensure deterministic BUSY assertion. At 5 ns, it guarantees the 7140SA20PF will correctly recognize which port wins arbitration - critical for predictable real-time response in control systems using the 7140SA20PF.
Does the 7140SA20PF support battery backup or data retention below 5V?
No. Battery backup and 2V data retention are exclusive to LA-suffix variants (e.g., 7140LA20PF). The 7140SA20PF is the standard-power version with active current of 110 mA typ. and no sub-5V retention specification - it requires continuous 5V ±10% supply for reliable operation.
Which package types are available for the 7140SA20PF, and is FP48 the only option for this speed grade?
The 7140SA20PF is specified and qualified only in the 48-pin ceramic flatpack (FP48) package, as confirmed by IDT's ordering information and timing validation. While other variants (e.g., 7140SA25PF) appear in PLCC or TQFP, the 20 ns speed grade is exclusively offered in FP48 to meet stringent AC performance and thermal requirements.
