Product details
Overview
71421SA25PF from Integrated Device Technology 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 access with BUSY input and interrupt flag (INTR) functionality. It operates at 5 V ±10%, delivers 25 ns max read cycle time, consumes 30 mA typical standby current (TTL-level inputs), and targets industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) for interprocessor communication buffers.
For engineers reviewing the 71421SA25PF datasheet, 71421SA25PF pinout, 71421SA25PF application, or 71421SA25PF equivalent, key selection considerations include its role as a SLAVE dual-port SRAM with BUSY input arbitration, interrupt-driven mailbox protocol (7FFH), 64-pin TQFP package, and compatibility with IDT71321SA MASTER devices in 16-bit+ bus width systems.
Technical Context
The 71421SA25PF implements a dedicated SLAVE architecture: BUSY is an input (not output), enabling write-inhibit control from a companion IDT71321 MASTER; it lacks on-chip arbitration logic and relies entirely on external BUSY assertion for contention resolution. Its interrupt mechanism uses address-mapped flags-writing to 7FFH by the left port sets INTR, and reading 7FFH by the right port clears it.
It supports independent CE-controlled power-down per port, with full standby current as low as 1.0 mA (CMOS-level inputs). Unlike LA variants, the SA suffix denotes standard power operation without battery backup; data retention is not supported. All timing parameters-including tWC = 25 ns, tINS = 25 ns, and tBDD = 35 ns-are specified for industrial-grade operation at VCC = 5.0 V ±10%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits); provides 16 KB total capacity across two independent ports |
| Access Time (tAA) | 25 ns max; defines minimum address stability window before valid data appears on I/O lines |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 25 ns max; determines maximum sustained read throughput (40 MHz effective rate) |
| Interrupt Set Time (tINS) | 25 ns max; latency from write to 7FFH until INTR flag asserts high |
| BUSY Input Timing (tWB) | 0 ns min; write-to-BUSY propagation delay ensures immediate write inhibition upon BUSY assertion |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 30 mA typ. (TTL inputs); power draw when both ports are disabled but inputs held at VIH/VIL |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V; single 5 V ±10% rail compatible with legacy TTL/CMOS logic interfaces |
Pinout & Package
71421SA25PF is packaged in a 64-pin TQFP (PNG64) with 0.5 mm pitch, body size 14 mm × 14 mm × 1.4 mm. Pin assignments follow the standard IDT71421 dual-port layout with mirrored left/right port signals and dedicated interrupt/BUSY terminals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | 11-bit address bus selecting one of 2048 locations for right-side access |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when OER = VIH or CER = VIH |
| CER, OER, R/WR | Right port control inputs | Chip enable, output enable, and read/write direction-fully asynchronous with left port |
| INTR | Right port interrupt output | Open-drain flag asserted when left port writes to address 7FFH; requires external pull-up |
| BUSYR | Right port BUSY input | Active-low signal that disables writes when driven low by MASTER device during address contention |
| VCC, GND | Power supply pins | Four VCC and four GND pins distributed for low-noise, stable 5 V operation across high-speed switching |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SLAVE-only BUSY interface | Eliminates need for external arbitration logic when paired with IDT71321 MASTER in wide-bus systems |
| Address-mapped interrupt mailbox | Uses fixed SRAM location 7FFH for reliable, hardware-triggered interprocessor signaling without software polling |
| Independent port power control | CE-driven automatic standby reduces dynamic power per active port-critical for multi-processor buffer designs |
| Industrial temperature rating | Guaranteed operation from –40°C to +85°C enables deployment in motor drives, PLCs, and base station equipment |
| 64-pin TQFP footprint | Standardized package supports automated assembly and thermal management in dense embedded layouts |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C1362BV25 | 3.3 V only; no BUSY input; uses semaphore register instead of address-mapped interrupts | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; interrupt handling needs additional register reads | Select when migrating to 3.3 V platforms and software-managed arbitration is acceptable |
| IDT71321SA25PF | MASTER variant with BUSY output, on-chip arbitration, and INTL flag; pin-compatible but functionally asymmetric | Must be used as MASTER in same socket; cannot substitute directly without redesigning BUSY routing and interrupt logic | Choose only when building standalone dual-port or MASTER/SLAVE pair-never as drop-in replacement |
Compared with CY7C1362BV25 and IDT71321SA25PF, the 71421SA25PF uniquely delivers 5 V–compatible SLAVE operation with hardware BUSY input and fixed-address interrupt signaling-enabling simpler, lower-latency interprocessor communication in industrial control and real-time embedded systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSYR pin on the 71421SA25PF?
The BUSYR pin on the 71421SA25PF is an active-low input that disables write operations to the right port when asserted. It receives BUSY signals from a companion IDT71321 MASTER device during address contention, ensuring hardware-enforced write inhibition without CPU involvement. This pin must be driven externally-no internal pull-up or pull-down is provided.
How does interrupt generation work in the 71421SA25PF?
In the 71421SA25PF, the INTR flag is set when the left port writes to memory address 7FFH, and cleared when the right port reads from that same address. This address-mapped mailbox mechanism provides deterministic, low-latency interprocessor signaling with tINS ≤ 25 ns. The INTR output is open-drain and requires an external pull-up resistor.
Can the 71421SA25PF operate as a standalone dual-port RAM without a MASTER device?
Yes, the 71421SA25PF can operate as a standalone dual-port SRAM, but its BUSYR input must be held high (e.g., via pull-up) to enable writes, and interrupt functionality remains usable. However, full BUSY arbitration and MASTER/SLAVE expansion benefits require pairing with an IDT71321 device-the 71421SA25PF lacks internal arbitration logic and BUSY output capability.
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 71421SA25PF?
The 71421SA25PF supports a maximum read cycle time (tRC) of 25 ns, corresponding to a theoretical maximum sustained read rate of 40 MHz. Write cycle time (tWC) is also 25 ns. These values are guaranteed over the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and 4.5 V–5.5 V supply, making it suitable for deterministic real-time applications.
Is the 71421SA25PF pin-compatible with other members of the IDT71421 family?
Yes, the 71421SA25PF shares identical 64-pin TQFP (PNG64) pinout with all IDT71421X25 variants-including LA versions and different speed grades (e.g., 71421SA35PF). Differences are limited to internal timing and power characteristics; PCB layout and signal routing remain unchanged across the X25 speed bin.
