Product details
Overview
7142LA55CB from IDT is a 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM configured as a slave device in master/slave memory expansion systems, supporting independent asynchronous read/write access on left and right ports, 55 ns read cycle time (max), 5V ±10% supply, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and battery-backed data retention at 2V - used in real-time avionics data buffers and redundant control memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the 7142LA55CB datasheet, 7142LA55CB pinout, 7142LA55CB application, or 7142LA55CB equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, BUSY-input arbitration behavior, package-specific pin mapping (48-pin flatpack), and direct alternative part comparisons for memory width expansion designs requiring deterministic contention resolution.
Technical Context
The 7142LA55CB implements a true dual-port SRAM architecture with fully independent address, control, and I/O buses per port - no internal multiplexing or shared timing paths. Its BUSY pin functions strictly as an input (not output), enabling write-inhibit signaling from a companion IDT7132 master during address-contention events.
It supports CE-controlled and R/W-controlled write cycles with defined tWC = 55 ns, tWP = 30 ns, and tBDD = 50 ns (BUSY-disable-to-valid-data), and features full CMOS-level standby modes (ISB3 = 0.2 mA typ.) with 2V data retention - all validated for industrial-temperature operation without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Size | 2K × 8 bits (2048 words × 8-bit wide), enabling compact dual-access buffer storage without external width expansion logic |
| Read Cycle Time | 55 ns max - defines minimum interval between successive reads on same port; determines real-time data throughput ceiling |
| Write Pulse Width | 30 ns min - shortest guaranteed duration for reliable write strobe assertion; critical for high-speed controller interface timing |
| Standby Current (ISB3) | 0.2 mA typical at full CMOS-level inputs - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during system sleep states |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V minimum - allows backup from coin-cell or supercapacitor during main power loss, preserving state across brownouts |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial embedded control, motor drives, and transportation electronics without thermal derating |
| Supply Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - compatible with standard 5V TTL/CMOS logic families and legacy power rails |
Pinout & Package
7142LA55CB is packaged in a 48-lead flatpack (FP48) with 0.75″ × 0.75″ footprint and 0.11″ height, featuring gull-wing leads and index mark for orientation. All VCC and GND pins must be externally decoupled per datasheet layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low port selection; deassertion places respective port into ISB1/ISB2/ISB3 low-power state |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left/Right) | Controls I/O bus direction: low enables read data output; high forces high-impedance tri-state |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left/Right) | Low = write cycle active; high = read cycle active; determines data flow direction on I/O lines |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Input (Left/Right) | Asynchronous write-inhibit signal: low blocks writes regardless of R/W or CE state - driven by IDT7132 master |
| A0L–A10L / A0R–A10R | Address Inputs (Left/Right) | 11-bit address bus per port; supports full 2K-word addressing independently on each side |
| I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R | Data I/O (Left/Right) | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus per port; shares pins for read output and write input under R/W control |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Slave-only BUSY input architecture | Eliminates need for external arbitration logic when paired with IDT7132 master - simplifies 16-bit+ memory width expansion |
| 2V data retention (LA version) | Preserves memory contents during main power interruption using backup supply - essential for fail-safe control state recovery |
| Independent port power-down | Each port enters low-power standby (ISB2 = 40 mA typ.) when CE is high - enables dynamic power gating per subsystem |
| TTL-compatible 5V operation | Direct interface with legacy microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs without level-shifting - reduces BOM and layout complexity |
| Industrial temperature qualification | Validated performance across –40°C to +85°C without parameter degradation - suitable for under-hood, factory-floor, and outdoor deployments |
Applications
| Avionics Data Buffering | Redundant PLC Memory |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C133-55JC | 55 ns access, 2K × 8, but uses 3-state BUSY outputs (not input); requires external pull-up and AND logic for master/slave arbitration | Lacks native slave-mode BUSY input - increases PCB area and timing uncertainty in width-expanded arrays | Choose only if existing design uses Cypress ecosystem and can accommodate added discrete logic |
| AS7C3256B-55PCN | 55 ns, 32K × 8, single-port architecture with burst mode; no dual-port or BUSY arbitration capability | Cannot replace 7142LA55CB in contention-aware systems - requires full firmware arbitration layer | Select only for non-contention applications where higher density and lower cost outweigh deterministic hardware arbitration needs |
Compared with CY7C133-55JC and AS7C3256B-55PCN, the 7142LA55CB uniquely delivers integrated slave-mode BUSY input functionality - reducing system-level timing risk and eliminating external arbitration components required by alternatives.

FAQ
What is the function of BUSYL and BUSYR on the 7142LA55CB?
On the 7142LA55CB, BUSYL and BUSYR are dedicated input pins - not outputs - that accept active-low write-inhibit signals from a companion IDT7132 master device. When asserted low, they block all write operations on the respective port regardless of R/W or CE state, enabling hardware-enforced contention resolution in width-expanded memory systems.
Does the 7142LA55CB support battery backup operation?
Yes, the 7142LA55CB supports battery backup operation with guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V (min), consuming ≤100 µA typical in retention mode. This feature is exclusive to LA-grade parts and is validated per datasheet Table 6 - enabling state preservation during main power loss in industrial and transportation applications.
Can the 7142LA55CB operate as a standalone dual-port RAM without a master device?
Yes, the 7142LA55CB can operate standalone: its BUSY inputs default to inactive (high) when unconnected or pulled up, allowing normal read/write access on both ports. However, hardware arbitration during simultaneous same-address access is disabled - software or system-level coordination becomes necessary to avoid data corruption.
What package types are available for the 7142LA55CB?
The 7142LA55CB is specified in the 48-lead flatpack (FP48) package per datasheet Figure 3, with dimensions 0.75″ × 0.75″ × 0.11″. While the broader 7142LA family offers DIP, LCC, and PLCC variants, the 'CB' suffix explicitly denotes the flatpack configuration - confirmed in IDT ordering information tables and mechanical drawings.
How does the 7142LA55CB differ from the 7132LA55CB in system implementation?
The 7142LA55CB is a slave-only device with BUSY inputs and no on-chip arbitration logic, whereas the 7132LA55CB is a master with BUSY outputs and internal priority resolution. In a width-expanded system, one 7132LA55CB controls multiple 7142LA55CB slaves - the 7142LA55CB cannot substitute for the master due to missing arbitration circuitry and open-drain BUSY drivers.
