Product details
Overview
IDT7142LA55P 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 systems, supporting independent asynchronous read/write access on left and right ports with 55 ns maximum read cycle time, 55 ns write cycle time, and 1 µA full-standby current at 5 V - deployed in real-time industrial control buffers and military-grade avionics data exchange modules.
For engineers reviewing the IDT7142LA55P datasheet, IDT7142LA55P pinout, IDT7142LA55P application, or IDT7142LA55P equivalent, key selection considerations include its BUSY-input-only arbitration interface, battery-backed 2 V data retention capability, industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), and compatibility with IDT7132LA master devices for 16-bit-or-wider word-width expansion without external logic.
Technical Context
The IDT7142LA55P implements fully independent dual-port architecture with separate address, control, and I/O buses per port, enabling concurrent access to any memory location. Its BUSY pin functions exclusively as an input for write-inhibit arbitration - unlike the IDT7132 master - and requires no internal pull-up since it receives open-drain BUSY signals from a companion IDT7132 device.
It features automatic power-down via CE-controlled standby modes: ISB3 = 0.2 mA typ. (both ports fully CMOS-disabled) and ISB4 = 40 mA typ. (one port active, one fully disabled), with TTL-compatible 5 V ±10% supply and 2 V data retention during battery backup operation - a capability exclusive to LA variants.

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 CY7C136-55JC | 55 ns access, 2K × 8, but uses active-high BUSY and lacks 2 V data retention | Requires external pull-ups and cannot support battery backup mode | Select when BUSY polarity compatibility with existing IDT7132 master is not required and backup power is unavailable |
| ISSI IS61LV25616AL-10TLI | 10 ns faster (10 ns tRC), but single-port only and no BUSY arbitration logic | Needs external FPGA-based arbitration and dual-clock domain handling | Select only if system design allows replacing hardware arbitration with programmable logic and higher speed justifies added complexity |
Compared with CY7C136-55JC and IS61LV25616AL-10TLI, IDT7142LA55P uniquely delivers integrated BUSY-input arbitration and guaranteed 2 V data retention in a drop-in SLAVE configuration - essential for deterministic real-time systems requiring zero-software-contention resolution and fail-safe memory persistence.

FAQ
What is the function of the BUSY pins on IDT7142LA55P?
The BUSYL and BUSYR pins on IDT7142LA55P serve exclusively as inputs - not outputs - and receive open-drain BUSY signals from a master IDT7132 device. When asserted low, they internally inhibit write operations on the corresponding port, ensuring deterministic arbitration in shared-memory systems. This behavior is fixed and cannot be reconfigured.
Does IDT7142LA55P support battery backup operation?
Yes, IDT7142LA55P supports battery backup operation with guaranteed data retention at VCC = 2.0 V, a feature exclusive to LA variants. The device draws ≤4000 µA (military/industrial) or ≤1500 µA (commercial) in data retention mode, enabling reliable memory persistence during main power loss without external circuitry.
Can IDT7142LA55P operate as a standalone dual-port RAM without a master device?
Yes, IDT7142LA55P can operate as a standalone dual-port RAM with independent left/right port access. However, BUSY arbitration is disabled unless connected to an IDT7132 master - meaning simultaneous writes to the same address will result in undefined data. For contention-free operation, pairing with IDT7132LA55P is required.
What package types are available for IDT7142LA55P?
IDT7142LA55P is offered in 48-pin Flatpack (FP48), 48-pin LCC (LC48), and 48-pin DIP (PDG48/SB48) packages. The FP48 variant - used in the IDT7142LA55P part number - provides hermetic sealing and thermal performance suited for extended industrial and military temperature operation.
How does IDT7142LA55P differ from IDT7132LA55P in system integration?
IDT7142LA55P is a SLAVE-only device with BUSY inputs and no on-chip arbitration logic, whereas IDT7132LA55P is a MASTER with BUSY outputs and internal port arbitration. In expansion systems, IDT7142LA55P must be paired with IDT7132LA55P to form a coherent 16-bit-or-wider memory array - IDT7142LA55P cannot substitute for IDT7132LA55P or vice versa.
