Product details
Overview
IDT71421LA25PF8 from Integrated Device Technology (IDT) is a high-speed 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM configured as a SLAVE device in MASTER/SLAVE memory expansion systems, supporting fully asynchronous port-to-port communication with interrupt flags (INTL/INTR) and BUSY input arbitration logic. It operates at 5 V ±10%, delivers 25 ns max access time (industrial grade), retains data down to 2 V for battery backup, and is used in real-time interprocessor communication subsystems requiring deterministic contention resolution.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71421LA25PF8 datasheet, IDT71421LA25PF8 pinout, IDT71421LA25PF8 application, or IDT71421LA25PF8 equivalent, key selection criteria include its SLAVE-only BUSY input behavior, 2V data retention capability, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and compatibility with IDT71321 MASTER devices in 16-bit-or-wider memory architectures.
Technical Context
The IDT71421LA25PF8 functions exclusively as a SLAVE dual-port SRAM: its BUSY pin is an input (not output), enabling write-inhibit arbitration when paired with an IDT71321 MASTER. It lacks on-chip arbitration logic - all BUSY-driven contention resolution is externally coordinated via the MASTER's BUSY output.
It supports two independent asynchronous ports (left/right), each with dedicated address (A0–A10), data (I/O0–I/O7), and control lines (CEL/CER, OEL/OER, R/WL/R/WR). Interrupt generation is triggered by writes to fixed mailbox addresses (7FEH for INTL, 7FFH for INTR), with set/reset timing specified at ≤25 ns (tINS/tINR).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits), 16 KB total capacity |
| Access Time (max) | 25 ns - guarantees deterministic read latency under industrial conditions (–40°C to +85°C) |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - TTL-compatible single-supply operation; no level-shifting required |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V - enables low-power battery backup without external regulators or supervisors |
| Standby Current (ISB3) | 0.2 mA (typ.) - ultra-low full-standby power when both CE pins are high-impedance |
| Interrupt Timing (tINS/tINR) | ≤25 ns - ensures rapid interprocessor message acknowledgment in real-time systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded control and avionics interfaces |
Pinout & Package
Package: 64-pin TQFP (PNG64), 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm body, lead-free and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side memory access (0x000–0x7FF) |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for right-side memory access (0x000–0x7FF) |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; high-impedance when OER = VIH or CER = VIH |
| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; controls automatic power-down mode |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low enables I/O drivers; overrides R/W state for read-only access |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | High = read, low = write; determines direction of I/O data flow |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags (output) | Open-drain outputs; require external pull-up; indicate mailbox writes (7FEH/7FFH) |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | BUSY input (SLAVE only) | Active-low write-inhibit signals driven by MASTER device; must be pulled high if unused |
| VCC / GND | Power supply terminals | Multiple VCC/GND pins ensure stable decoupling across high-speed operation |
Key Features

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 CY7C024AV-25AXC | 5 V, 2K × 16 organization; integrated BUSY arbitration; no battery retention | Requires redesign for 8-bit data path; eliminates need for MASTER/SLAVE pairing | Choose when wider bus width and self-contained arbitration outweigh retention needs |
| ISSI IS61WV20488BLL-25MLI | Single-port, 2K × 8; 25 ns, 3.3 V core; no BUSY/interrupt logic | Lacks hardware interprocessor coordination; requires software-managed semaphores | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-real-time applications where arbitration is handled in firmware |
Compared with IDT71421LA25PF8, CY7C024AV-25AXC offers native 16-bit width and internal arbitration but sacrifices 2V retention and requires voltage translation; IS61WV20488BLL-25MLI reduces cost and complexity but removes deterministic hardware arbitration essential for hard real-time interprocessor communication.

FAQ
What is the role of IDT71421LA25PF8 in a MASTER/SLAVE dual-port SRAM configuration?
IDT71421LA25PF8 functions exclusively as a SLAVE device: its BUSYL and BUSYR pins are inputs that accept write-inhibit signals from an IDT71321 MASTER. It contains no internal arbitration logic and relies entirely on the MASTER for BUSY-driven contention resolution. This architecture enables scalable 16-bit-or-wider memory expansion without external glue logic.
Does IDT71421LA25PF8 support battery backup operation, and what voltage is required?
Yes, IDT71421LA25PF8 supports battery backup operation with guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V (min), as specified in the LA version's data retention characteristics. This allows direct connection to a 2 V coin cell or backup rail without regulation, sustaining memory contents during main power loss.
How are interrupts generated and cleared in IDT71421LA25PF8?
Interrupts in IDT71421LA25PF8 are hardware-triggered: writing to address 7FEH asserts INTL, and writing to 7FFH asserts INTR. Clearing requires reading the same address with OE active (e.g., CEL = OEL = VIL for INTL). Timing is guaranteed at ≤25 ns (tINS/tINR), enabling fast interprocessor signaling.
What package type and pin count does IDT71421LA25PF8 use?
IDT71421LA25PF8 uses a 64-pin TQFP package (PNG64), measuring 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm. Pin assignments match the official IDT pinout diagram for 64-pin TQFP/STQFP variants, including dedicated VCC/GND pairs for noise immunity and open-drain INTL/INTR outputs requiring external pull-ups.
Can IDT71421LA25PF8 operate independently without an IDT71321 MASTER device?
IDT71421LA25PF8 can operate as a standalone dual-port SRAM for non-contention scenarios (e.g., isolated read/write per port), but its BUSY input pins must be held high (via pull-up resistors) since no internal arbitration exists. For any shared-address access requiring hardware write inhibition, an IDT71321 MASTER is mandatory.
