Product details
Overview
IDT7142LA25J8 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 architectures. It features 25 ns maximum access time, 1 mW typical standby power, battery-backed data retention down to 2 V, and operates on a single 5 V ±10% supply. It is used in real-time embedded systems requiring concurrent read/write access across independent processor or DMA channels.
For engineers reviewing the IDT7142LA25J8 datasheet, IDT7142LA25J8 pinout, IDT7142LA25J8 application, or IDT7142LA25J8 equivalent, key selection criteria include BUSY input timing for port arbitration, low-power standby current under CMOS-level control, dual-port address/data isolation, and compatibility with IDT7132 master devices in 16-bit+ width expansions.
Technical Context
The IDT7142LA25J8 implements a fully asynchronous dual-port SRAM architecture with independent left/right address, control, and I/O buses. Its BUSY pin functions exclusively as an input-unlike the IDT7132 master-to gate write operations during contention, with tWB = 0 ns and tWH ≥ 12 ns minimum hold after BUSY assertion.
It supports two distinct power-down modes: TTL-level standby (ISB1/ISB2) and full CMOS-level standby (ISB3/ISB4), delivering 0.2 µA typical ISB3 current. Fabricated in CMOS, it achieves 200 µW typical battery-retention power at VCC = 2 V, enabling nonvolatile operation without external backup circuitry.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2K × 8 bits (2048 words × 8-bit data width per port) |
| Access Time (max) | 25 ns - guarantees worst-case read latency for real-time deterministic response |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails; no separate VDDQ required |
| Standby Current (ISB3) | 0.2 µA typ. - enables ultra-low-power battery retention mode with 2 V VCC |
| BUSY Function | Input-only - internally inhibits writes when asserted; requires external pull-up for open-drain master interface |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications |
| Package | 48-pin Flatpack (J8) - hermetically sealed, leadless ceramic package for high-reliability environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 48-pin Flatpack (J8), hermetic ceramic, body size ≈ 0.75 in × 0.75 in × 0.11 in. Pin 1 index corner marked; all VCC pins must be connected to +5 V, all GND pins to ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 24, 48) | Ground reference | Three dedicated ground pins minimize ground bounce in high-speed dual-port switching |
| VCC (Pin 25) | Power supply | Single 5 V supply powers both ports; decoupling required at pin |
| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; controls port-specific power-down entry/exit |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low enables I/O drivers; high-Z state isolates bus during contention or idle |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | Active-low write; high = read; determines direction of data flow on I/O lines |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | BUSY input (left/right) | Asynchronous write-inhibit signal from IDT7132 master; must be pulled up externally |
| A0L–A10L / A0R–A10R | Address inputs (left/right) | 11-bit address per port selects one of 2048 locations independently |
| I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R | Data I/O (left/right) | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus per port; high-impedance when OE or CE inactive |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-port arbitration via BUSY input | Enables deterministic resolution of simultaneous same-address access without software overhead or external logic |
| Battery-backed data retention | Maintains stored data at 2 V VCC with only 100 µA typical ICCDR - eliminates need for external backup battery management |
| Ultra-low standby power | 0.2 µA ISB3 current allows years of retention in battery-critical applications such as medical telemetry or remote sensors |
| Industrial temperature range | –40°C to +85°C operation validated across full speed grade - suitable for engine control units and factory automation |
| Master/slave expandability | Supports seamless 16-bit+ word width expansion using IDT7132 master with automatic BUSY propagation - no glue logic required |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C136-25JC | 5V, 2K × 8, 25 ns, but uses bidirectional BUSY (I/O) rather than dedicated input; no battery retention | Requires external arbitration logic for master/slave expansion; unsuitable for 2 V backup scenarios | Select when legacy Cypress footprint compatibility is required and battery retention is unnecessary |
| AS7C3256B-25JC | 5V, 32K × 8, 25 ns, single-port only; no BUSY logic or dual-port arbitration | Cannot replace dual-port functionality - requires redesign with external FIFO or dual-CPU interface logic | Consider only for capacity upgrade paths where dual-port concurrency is handled at system level |
Compared with CY7C136-25JC and AS7C3256B-25JC, the IDT7142LA25J8 uniquely delivers hardware-enforced write inhibition via dedicated BUSY input and guaranteed 2 V data retention - critical for fault-tolerant industrial and avionics designs where deterministic arbitration and zero-power memory persistence are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pins on the IDT7142LA25J8?
The BUSYL and BUSYR pins on the IDT7142LA25J8 serve exclusively as inputs - unlike the IDT7132 master - and are used to inhibit write operations when asserted low by an external IDT7132 master device. When BUSY is low, internal write gating blocks data from being written to memory, preventing corruption during port contention. The IDT7142LA25J8 does not drive BUSY; it responds to it.
Does the IDT7142LA25J8 support battery backup operation?
Yes, the IDT7142LA25J8 supports battery backup operation with guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V. In this mode, it draws only 100 µA typical ICCDR current, enabling multi-year retention from a small coin cell. This capability is exclusive to LA versions and is not available in SA variants. The IDT7142LA25J8 retains full 2K × 8 memory contents without refresh during backup.
What is the difference between IDT7142LA25J8 and IDT7132LA25J8?
The IDT7142LA25J8 is a slave-only dual-port SRAM with BUSY inputs, while the IDT7132LA25J8 is the master device featuring BUSY outputs and on-chip arbitration logic. The IDT7142LA25J8 cannot operate standalone in arbitration mode - it requires an IDT7132LA25J8 (or compatible master) to drive its BUSY pins. Both share identical timing (25 ns), power specs, and pinout except for BUSY directionality and absence of arbitration logic in the IDT7142LA25J8.
Which packages are available for the IDT7142LA25J8?
The IDT7142LA25J8 is offered in the 48-pin Flatpack (J8) package - a hermetically sealed, leadless ceramic package with dimensions approximately 0.75 in × 0.75 in × 0.11 in. This package is distinct from DIP, LCC, or PLCC variants and is specified for high-reliability industrial and military applications. The "J8" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes this flatpack configuration.
Can the IDT7142LA25J8 be used without a master device like the IDT7132?
Yes, the IDT7142LA25J8 can operate as a stand-alone dual-port SRAM without a master device, provided BUSYL and BUSYR are held high (via pull-up resistors) to disable write inhibition. In this configuration, both ports function independently with full read/write capability - but hardware arbitration for same-address contention is disabled. The IDT7142LA25J8 retains all timing, power, and retention specifications in standalone mode.
