Product details
Overview
71421SA35PF 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, featuring 35 ns maximum read cycle time, TTL-compatible 5 V ±10% operation, and dedicated BUSY input and interrupt (INTR) signaling for interprocessor communication in real-time embedded control applications.
For engineers reviewing the 71421SA35PF datasheet, 71421SA35PF pinout, 71421SA35PF application, or 71421SA35PF equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical timing, port arbitration behavior, interrupt mailbox addressing (7FFH), BUSY input timing constraints (tWB = 0 ns), and package-specific thermal and layout guidance for industrial-grade dual-ported memory integration.
Technical Context
The 71421SA35PF operates as a SLAVE in asymmetric MASTER/SLAVE dual-port configurations with IDT71321, accepting BUSY output from the MASTER to inhibit concurrent writes during address contention. Its BUSY pin functions exclusively as an input-unlike the MASTER's open-drain BUSY output-and directly gates internal write logic when asserted low.
Interrupt generation is triggered by writes to fixed mailbox addresses: right-port INTR flag sets on left-port write to 7FFH, and clears on subsequent right-port read/write to same address. All timing-including tINS = 25 ns (max) interrupt set time and tINR = 25 ns (max) reset time-is specified under commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and VCC = 5.0 V ±10%.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits); supports independent asynchronous access from left and right ports |
| Max Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 35 ns - defines minimum interval between successive reads on same port; critical for real-time data exchange latency |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - single TTL-compatible rail; no level-shifting required in 5 V system designs |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial grade) - validated for non-extended industrial environments |
| Interrupt Address | 7FFH (right port INTR) - fixed mailbox location; write to this address asserts INTR; read/write clears it |
| BUSY Function | Input-only (SLAVE mode) - when low, blocks all writes to prevent data corruption during address contention |
| Power Dissipation (Active) | Typ. 80 mA ICC (110 mW at 5 V) - enables low-heat-density placement in tightly packed controller boards |
Pinout & Package
71421SA35PF is packaged in a 52-pin STQFP (PPG52), measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, with exposed pad for thermal dissipation and lead-free RoHS-compliant finish.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left-port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side access; latched on CEL or R/WL transition per timing spec |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left-port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH; driven only during valid read/write cycles |
| CEL, OEL, R/WL | Left-port control signals | Chip Enable, Output Enable, Read/Write select - fully asynchronous; no clock required |
| A0R–A10R | Right-port address inputs | Independent 11-bit address space; coexists with left-port addressing without arbitration overhead |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right-port bidirectional data | Separate 8-bit data bus; electrically isolated from left port except via shared memory array |
| CER, OER, R/WR | Right-port control signals | Asynchronous enable/control set; timing-critical for interrupt mailbox access (7FFH) |
| BUSYR | Busy input (SLAVE) | Active-low signal from MASTER (IDT71321); must be stable before write pulse initiation to avoid data corruption |
| INTR | Interrupt output (right port) | Open-drain flag asserted when left port writes to 7FFH; requires external pull-up (270 Ω typical) |
| VCC, GND | Power and ground | Multiple VCC/GND pins distributed across package for low-noise power delivery and EMI reduction |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| SLAVE-only BUSY input | Eliminates need for external arbitration logic when paired with IDT71321 MASTER; direct hardware write inhibition |
| Fixed interrupt mailbox (7FFH) | Enables deterministic interprocessor messaging without software polling; reduces CPU overhead in real-time OS contexts |
| Asynchronous dual-port operation | Supports independent read/write cycles on left and right ports with no shared clock or synchronization logic |
| 35 ns access with 5 V supply | Meets timing requirements of legacy 8/16-bit microcontrollers (e.g., Intel 80C188, Motorola 68HC11) without wait states |
| TTL-compatible I/O levels | Direct interface to standard 5 V logic families; no level translators needed in mixed-voltage systems |
Applications
| Industrial Motion Controller | Avionics Data Logger |

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-35AXC | 32K × 16 organization; 35 ns access; 3.3 V core with 5 V tolerant I/O; no native BUSY arbitration logic | Requires external glue logic for address contention resolution; suited for wider data paths but higher power | Select when >2K depth or 3.3 V system integration is required; not drop-in for 71421SA35PF's SLAVE arbitration role |
| IDT71321SA35PF | MASTER variant with on-chip arbitration logic, BUSY output, and INTL flag; identical speed/package but different functional role | Cannot substitute as SLAVE-BUSY pin is output-only and lacks BUSY input functionality required for slave write inhibition | Use only in MASTER position; pairing with 71421SA35PF enables scalable 16-bit+ memory width without discrete logic |
Compared with CY7C024AV-35AXC and IDT71321SA35PF, the 71421SA35PF uniquely delivers SLAVE-specific BUSY input behavior and interrupt mailbox semantics in a compact 52-pin STQFP, making it irreplaceable in asymmetric MASTER/SLAVE dual-port topologies requiring hardware-enforced write collision avoidance.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSYR pin on the 71421SA35PF?
The BUSYR pin on the 71421SA35PF is an active-low input used exclusively in SLAVE configuration. When asserted low by the MASTER (IDT71321), it inhibits all write operations to the 71421SA35PF's memory array, preventing data corruption during address contention. It is not an output and has no internal driver-external pull-up is unnecessary unless interfacing with open-drain MASTER outputs.
How does interrupt handling work in the 71421SA35PF?
The 71421SA35PF uses address 7FFH as its right-port interrupt mailbox: a write to this location by the left port asserts the INTR output; a subsequent read or write to 7FFH by the right port clears INTR. This hardware-triggered mechanism eliminates polling and ensures sub-25 ns interrupt latency, as confirmed in the 71421SA35PF datasheet Table 11b.
Can the 71421SA35PF operate as a standalone dual-port RAM without a MASTER device?
Yes-the 71421SA35PF functions as a fully independent dual-port SRAM without requiring a MASTER. Its BUSYR pin is simply held high (VIH) via pull-up if unused, and both ports operate asynchronously. However, BUSY-based arbitration and interrupt mailbox features require connection to IDT71321 or compatible MASTER for full functionality.
What package type and dimensions does the 71421SA35PF use?
The 71421SA35PF is supplied in a 52-pin STQFP (PPG52) package measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, with exposed thermal pad and RoHS-compliant lead-free finish. Pinout matches the IDT71321/71421 family layout, enabling PCB reuse across MASTER/SLAVE variants when designed for PPG52 footprint.
Is the 71421SA35PF compatible with industrial temperature range operation?
No-the 71421SA35PF is rated for commercial temperature range only (0°C to +70°C). For industrial operation (–40°C to +85°C), the equivalent part is 71421SA35PI (PLCC) or 71421SA35PG (STQFP), both explicitly qualified per IDT DSC-2691 specification Section 2. The 'F' suffix in 71421SA35PF denotes commercial-grade PPG52 packaging.
