Product details
Overview
IDT71421LA35J from Integrated Device Technology is a 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 BUSY input and interrupt flag (INTR) functionality. It delivers 35 ns max read cycle time, 1 mA typical standby current at 5 V, and 2 V battery backup data retention - enabling real-time interprocessor messaging in industrial control backplanes.
For engineers reviewing the IDT71421LA35J datasheet, IDT71421LA35J pinout, IDT71421LA35J application, or IDT71421LA35J equivalent, key selection criteria include SLAVE-side BUSY input timing (tWB = 0 ns), interrupt address mapping (7FFH for INTR set), 52-pin PLCC package compatibility, and industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C).
Technical Context
The IDT71421LA35J operates as a SLAVE dual-port SRAM with dedicated BUSY input (BUSYR) that internally inhibits writes during contention, eliminating need for external arbitration logic. Its interrupt function uses fixed mailbox addresses: writing to 7FFH from the left port asserts INTR, while reading 7FFH from the right port clears it.
It supports two independent asynchronous ports (left/right), each with separate CE/OE/R/W controls and 11-bit addressing (A0–A10), enabling concurrent access to any of 2048 × 8-bit locations. The LA suffix confirms low-power design with 2 V data retention capability and 1 µA full-standby current (ISB3) under CMOS-level inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits), fully random-access dual-port architecture |
| Max Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 35 ns - defines minimum interval between successive reads on same port |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 25 mA max (TTL-level inputs, both ports disabled) - enables low-power idle operation in multi-port systems |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V - guarantees nonvolatile data hold during main power loss, critical for fail-safe industrial logging |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and automation environments |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - TTL-compatible single 5 V ±10% rail simplifies power design |
| Interrupt Address | 7FFH - fixed right-port mailbox location for interprocessor signaling via INTR flag |
Pinout & Package
Package: 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), body size ≈ 19.05 mm × 19.05 mm × 4.32 mm, lead pitch 0.635 mm, RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0R–A10R | Right-port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for accessing 2K locations on right port |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right-port bidirectional data lines | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when OER = VIH or CER = VIH |
| R/WR | Right-port write enable | Active-low control: drives write cycle when R/WR = VIL and CER = VIL |
| CER | Right-port chip enable | Active-low master enable: disables all right-port functions and reduces current to ISB1/ISB2/ISB4 levels |
| OER | Right-port output enable | Active-low control: enables I/O0R–I/O7R drivers only when CER = VIL |
| BUSYR | Busy input (SLAVE) | External BUSY signal from MASTER (IDT71321); inhibits writes when driven LOW |
| INTR | Interrupt output (right port) | Open-drain flag asserted HIGH when left port writes to 7FFH; requires 270 Ω pull-up |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 5 V ±10% supply; all VCC pins must be connected to decoupled 5 V rail |
| GND | Ground reference | All GND pins must be connected to common system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SLAVE-specific BUSY input | Enables hardware write-inhibit without external logic when used with IDT71321 MASTER in width-expanded systems |

Applications
| Industrial PLC Backplane Memory | Dual-CPU Interprocessor Messaging |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Two independent CPUs share status and command data across a ruggedized backplane in a programmable logic controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: IDT71421LA35J serves as SLAVE memory in a MASTER/SLAVE pair, accepting writes from CPU A and providing reads to CPU B with BUSY-controlled arbitration. Use Value: Eliminates software polling via hardware INTR flag (7FFH) and prevents data corruption through BUSYR-driven write inhibition during address contention. |
Use Scenario: Real-time embedded system with safety-critical and non-safety partitions exchanging sensor updates and actuator commands. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: IDT71421LA35J provides deterministic, low-latency mailbox memory where partition A writes to 7FFH to trigger INTR, notifying partition B of new data. Use Value: Achieves sub-35 ns inter-processor notification latency and guarantees atomic message delivery without OS intervention or shared-bus contention. |
| Motor Drive Control Co-Processor Buffer | Redundant Sensor Data Logger |
Use Scenario: High-speed motion controller uses dual processors: one handles trajectory calculation, the other manages PWM generation and feedback loops. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: IDT71421LA35J acts as SLAVE buffer, receiving interpolated position commands from the master processor and feeding them to the servo loop processor with precise timing alignment. Use Value: 35 ns tRC and asynchronous dual-port access ensure jitter-free command streaming, while 2 V data retention preserves last valid position during brief power dips. |
Use Scenario: Environmental monitoring node logs sensor readings continuously, retaining latest values during AC power failure using backup battery. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: IDT71421LA35J stores timestamped sensor snapshots in circular buffer mode; its 2 V retention mode maintains data integrity without refresh circuitry. Use Value: Reduces system BOM by eliminating external retention capacitor or EEPROM, with guaranteed 2 V hold and <1 µA ISB3 current during battery backup. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1371BV33-167AXC | 3.3 V core, 167 MHz QDR interface, no BUSY/INT logic, 16-bit data bus | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; lacks hardware arbitration and mailbox interrupts | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V architecture and implementing software-based coherency |
| IDT71321LA35J | MASTER variant with BUSY output (open-drain), on-chip arbitration logic, and INTL flag | Used as primary controller in MASTER/SLAVE pairs; cannot substitute directly as SLAVE | Required when building custom dual-port arrays needing local arbitration; not drop-in for IDT71421LA35J roles |
Compared with CY7C1371BV33-167AXC and IDT71321LA35J, the IDT71421LA35J uniquely provides SLAVE-specific BUSY input and fixed 7FFH interrupt signaling in a 5 V, industrial-temp 2K×8 package - making it irreplaceable for legacy or cost-sensitive dual-CPU designs requiring hardware-coordinated memory access.

FAQ
What is the role of IDT71421LA35J in a MASTER/SLAVE dual-port SRAM configuration?
IDT71421LA35J functions exclusively as the SLAVE device: it accepts BUSY input (BUSYR) from an IDT71321 MASTER to inhibit writes during address contention, and provides interrupt signaling via INTR flag triggered by left-port writes to address 7FFH. It does not generate BUSY signals or perform arbitration - those functions reside solely in the MASTER.
Does IDT71421LA35J support battery backup, and what voltage is required?
Yes, IDT71421LA35J supports battery backup data retention at 2.0 V (VDR), as specified in Table 6. This allows memory contents to be preserved during main power loss. The LA suffix explicitly denotes this low-power, retention-capable version - distinct from SA variants which lack 2 V hold capability.
What are the timing requirements for asserting INTR on IDT71421LA35J?
INTR is asserted when the left port performs a valid write to address 7FFH (CER = VIH, CEL = VIL, R/WL = VIL). Per Table 11b, tINS (interrupt set time) is ≤45 ns max. The flag remains asserted until the right port reads 7FFH with CER = VIL and OER = VIL - at which point INTR clears within tINR ≤45 ns.
Can IDT71421LA35J operate independently without a MASTER device?
Yes, IDT71421LA35J can operate as a standalone dual-port SRAM. In this mode, BUSYR must be held HIGH (e.g., via pull-up) since it is an input, and interrupt functionality remains active using 7FFH as the mailbox. All timing and electrical specs apply unchanged - only the hardware arbitration benefit of the MASTER/SLAVE pair is forfeited.
Which package options are available for IDT71421LA35J, and is the PLCC version lead-free?
IDT71421LA35J is offered in 52-pin PLCC (PLG52), 52-pin STQFP (PPG52), 64-pin TQFP (PNG64), and 64-pin STQFP (PPG64). The "J" suffix in IDT71421LA35J specifically denotes the 52-pin PLCC package. Per the datasheet's "Green parts available" note and ordering information, this variant is RoHS-compliant and lead-free.
