Product details
Overview
7142LA55J8 from IDT is a low-power 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM configured as a SLAVE device in MASTER/SLAVE memory expansion systems, featuring 55 ns max read/write cycle time, 1 μA full-standby current (ISB3), 2 V data retention capability, and TTL-compatible 5 V ±10% operation - used for real-time interprocessor communication in avionics and industrial control.
For engineers reviewing the 7142LA55J8 datasheet, 7142LA55J8 pinout, 7142LA55J8 application, or 7142LA55J8 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing parameters, BUSY-input arbitration behavior, package-specific pin mapping (48-pin flatpack), and direct alternatives for 16-bit-or-wider dual-port SRAM designs requiring battery-backed data retention.
Technical Context
The 7142LA55J8 implements independent left/right ports with separate address (A0–A10), control (CEL/CER, OEL/OER, R/WL/R/WR), and bidirectional I/O (I/O0–I/O7) lines, enabling fully asynchronous concurrent access. Its BUSY pin functions strictly as an input - unlike the MASTER 7132 - to gate write operations during address contention.
Arbitration is performed externally via the MASTER 7132's BUSY outputs; the 7142LA55J8 responds to asserted BUSY by inhibiting writes without internal logic or priority resolution. It supports CE-controlled power-down modes yielding ISB3 = 1 μA (typ.) at CMOS-level inputs and retains data down to VCC = 2.0 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits), 16 KB total capacity |
| Access Time (tAA) | 55 ns max - defines minimum address stability before valid read data appears |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 55 ns max - sets shortest interval between successive reads on same port |
| Full Standby Current (ISB3) | 1 μA typ. at VCC = 5 V - enables ultra-low-power battery backup mode |
| Data Retention Voltage | 2.0 V min - guarantees nonvolatile data hold without main supply |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems |
| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - single-rail TTL-compatible interface, no level-shifting required |
Pinout & Package
7142LA55J8 is packaged in a 48-lead flatpack (FP48) with 0.75″ × 0.75″ footprint and 0.11″ height. All VCC pins must be connected to 5 V; all GND pins tied to system ground.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND (Pins 1, 24) | Ground reference | Common return path for both ports; requires low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling |
| VCC (Pin 25) | Power supply | Single 5 V ±10% rail powering all logic and memory cells; decoupling capacitor mandatory |
| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; high state forces port into ISB1/ISB2 standby mode |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low controls I/O drivers; high state places I/O pins in high-impedance state |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | High = read, low = write; determines direction of data flow on bidirectional I/O bus |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy input (left/right) | Active-low signal from MASTER 7132; internally gates write cycles when asserted |
| A0L–A10L / A0R–A10R | Address inputs (left/right) | 11-bit address buses selecting one of 2048 memory locations per port |
| I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R | Bidirectional data (left/right) | 8-bit parallel data paths; driven only when corresponding CE and OE are active |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Slave-only BUSY input architecture | Eliminates need for external arbitration logic when paired with IDT7132 MASTER - simplifies 16+ bit width expansion |
| 2 V data retention | Enables seamless switchover to backup battery during main power loss, preserving critical state in safety-critical systems |
| Ultra-low ISB3 standby current | 1 μA typical draw allows >10-year battery life in always-on monitoring applications using coin-cell backup |
| 55 ns access with industrial temp range | Meets deterministic timing requirements for real-time OS kernels and hard real-time control loops |
| TTL-compatible 5 V interface | Direct connection to legacy microcontrollers, FPGAs, and ASICs without voltage translation circuitry |

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 lacks 2 V data retention and BUSY-input arbitration logic | Requires external glue logic for contention management; unsuitable for battery backup systems | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs retention and arbitration needs |
| IDT7134LA55J | Same 2K × 8 slave architecture, but 44-pin PLCC package and no flatpack option | Compatible timing and function, but incompatible footprint - requires PCB redesign | Choose when PLCC mounting is preferred and board space permits re-layout |
Compared with CY7C133-55JC and IDT7134LA55J, the 7142LA55J8 uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, 2 V data retention, and native BUSY-input arbitration in a 48-pin flatpack - making it the only drop-in solution for MIL-STD-810G-rated avionics and medical devices requiring guaranteed data integrity during power transitions.

FAQ
What is the role of BUSY pins on the 7142LA55J8?
The BUSYL and BUSYR pins on the 7142LA55J8 are dedicated inputs - not outputs - that receive active-low BUSY signals from a MASTER IDT7132 device. When asserted, they internally inhibit write operations to the corresponding port, preventing data corruption during address contention. This behavior is fixed and cannot be reconfigured, distinguishing the 7142LA55J8 from MASTER variants.
Does the 7142LA55J8 support battery backup operation?
Yes, the 7142LA55J8 supports true battery backup operation with guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V (min), as specified in Table 6 of the datasheet. This LA-series feature enables nonvolatile storage during main power failure, and is validated across the full –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range - a capability absent in SA-series variants.
Which packages are available for the 7142LA55J8?
The 7142LA55J8 is offered exclusively in the 48-lead flatpack (FP48) package, with dimensions of approximately 0.75″ × 0.75″ × 0.11″. Unlike earlier IDT7142 variants, it is not available in DIP, LCC, or PLCC configurations. The "J8" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the FP48 package variant.
How does the 7142LA55J8 differ from the IDT7132LA55J8?
The 7142LA55J8 is a SLAVE-only dual-port SRAM with BUSY inputs and no on-chip arbitration logic, whereas the IDT7132LA55J8 is a MASTER device featuring BUSY outputs, internal port arbitration, and a dedicated BUSY flag generation circuit. They are complementary - not interchangeable - and must be used together in width-expanded systems.
What is the minimum supply voltage for active operation of the 7142LA55J8?
The 7142LA55J8 requires a minimum supply voltage of 4.5 V for active operation, as defined in the Recommended DC Operating Conditions table (VCC Min = 4.5 V). While it retains data down to 2.0 V, functional read/write operations are only guaranteed within the 4.5–5.5 V range, and operation below 4.5 V may result in timing violations or data corruption.
