Product details
Overview
7143LA20JG8 from IDT is a low-power, 2K × 16-bit (32 Kbit), dual-port static RAM with independent left/right asynchronous ports, 20 ns max read cycle time, TTL-compatible 5V ±10% operation, and battery backup data retention down to 2V - used in real-time embedded systems requiring concurrent CPU/DSP memory access without arbitration logic.
For engineers reviewing the 7143LA20JG8 datasheet, 7143LA20JG8 pinout, 7143LA20JG8 application, or 7143LA20JG8 equivalent, this page delivers verified timing specs, master/slave BUSY interface behavior, byte-level write control, industrial temperature support (–40°C to +85°C), and exact package mapping for PLCC-68 (JG8).
Technical Context
The 7143LA20JG8 operates as a SLAVE dual-port SRAM in MASTER/SLAVE configurations: BUSY is an input (not output), enabling write inhibition during contention when paired with IDT7133 MASTER devices. It supports fully asynchronous, independent read/write on both ports with separate CE, R/W, OE, and address buses.
It implements per-byte upper/lower write enable (R/WLUB/R/WLLB and R/WRUB/R/WRLB), open-drain BUSY input synchronization, and automatic power-down via chip enable - delivering 1 mW typical standby power and 200 µW typical 2V battery-retention current per port.
Key Specifications

| Supply Voltage | 5.0 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL logic families and legacy 5V embedded platforms |
| Standby Current | 1 µA typ. - enables ultra-low-power hold mode during system sleep or battery backup |
| Data Retention | 2 V minimum - retains memory contents during brown-out or backup battery operation |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment |
| I/O Voltage Levels | TTL-compatible inputs (VIH = 2.2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max); outputs drive 4 mA low / –4 mA high |
Pinout & Package
7143LA20JG8 is packaged in a 68-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), designated JG8 per IDT ordering nomenclature. The package is leaded, surface-mountable, and RoHS-compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left Port Address Inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side memory access (2K = 211) |
| A0R–A10R | Right Port Address Inputs | Independent 11-bit address bus for right-side access |
| I/O0L–I/O15L | Left Port Bidirectional Data | 16-bit data path; direction controlled by R/WLUB/R/WLLB and OEL |
| I/O0R–I/O15R | Right Port Bidirectional Data | 16-bit data path; direction controlled by R/WRUB/R/WRLB and OER |
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left / Right) | Active-low enables respective port; controls power-down entry/exit |
| R/WLUB / R/WLLB | Left Upper/Lower Byte Write Enable | Independent byte-level write control - enables partial writes without masking logic |
| R/WRUB / R/WRLB | Right Upper/Lower Byte Write Enable | Enables selective 8-bit writes on right port - critical for mixed-data-size protocols |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left / Right) | Tri-states I/O pins independently - allows shared bus architectures |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | BUSY Input (Left / Right) | SLAVE-only function: active-low write inhibit signal from MASTER device |
| VCC (×2) | Power Supply | Both pins must be connected to 5V ±10%; ensures stable core and I/O voltage distribution |
| GND (×2) | Ground | Both pins must be connected to system ground - minimizes noise coupling and ensures timing integrity |

Applications
| Real-Time DSP Memory Buffer | Dual-CPU Shared Memory System |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Two independent processors (e.g., ARM + DSP) concurrently access shared instruction/data buffers without software locks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SLAVE dual-port SRAM providing synchronized, contention-free memory access via hardware BUSY arbitration with IDT7133 MASTER.

| Telecom Line Card Buffer | Battery-Backed Data Logger |
Use Scenario: TDM switch fabric buffering voice/data packets between line interface and switching matrix. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port RAM acting as ping-pong buffer - one port receives packet data while the other feeds the switch core. Use Value: Sustains 50 MHz sustained throughput with zero packet loss - validated by 20 ns tRC and 12 ns tAOE. |
Use Scenario: Environmental sensor node logging temperature/pressure at 1 Hz with 10-year battery life. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-power SLAVE SRAM retaining 32 Kbit of historical data during main power outage. Use Value: Draws only 1 µA in full standby - extends CR2032 battery life beyond 10 years with periodic wake-up writes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7143LA25JG8 | 25 ns max access time vs. 20 ns; otherwise identical pinout, features, and voltage specs | Suitable where 40 MHz bus timing margin allows relaxed cycle time | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 5 ns performance gain and thermal/power budget permits same LA power profile |
| CY7C133-25JC | 25 ns access; Cypress part uses different BUSY logic (bidirectional), no native MASTER/SLAVE pairing | Requires external arbitration for multi-chip width expansion; no guaranteed BUSY propagation delay matching | Choose only if existing design uses CY7C133 footprint and timing analysis confirms compatibility with 7143LA20JG8's 20 ns window |
Compared with 7143LA25JG8 and CY7C133-25JC, the 7143LA20JG8 delivers the fastest guaranteed access (20 ns), native SLAVE BUSY input timing alignment for IDT MASTER/SLAVE systems, and lowest standby power - making it optimal for latency-critical industrial and telecom designs.

FAQ
What is the role of BUSY pins on the 7143LA20JG8?
The BUSY pins (BUSYL and BUSYR) on the 7143LA20JG8 function exclusively as inputs - unlike the IDT7133 MASTER, which drives BUSY as an open-drain output. When asserted low by a connected IDT7133 MASTER, they inhibit write operations on the corresponding port. This SLAVE-only behavior eliminates arbitration conflicts in width-expanded systems and requires external pull-up resistors only on the MASTER side.
Does the 7143LA20JG8 support true simultaneous read/write across ports?
Yes, the 7143LA20JG8 supports fully asynchronous, independent read and write operations on left and right ports - provided addresses do not collide. When both ports access the same memory location concurrently, the BUSY input mechanism (driven by a MASTER IDT7133) stalls the later write attempt. No internal arbitration logic exists within the 7143LA20JG8 itself - it relies entirely on external BUSY signaling for conflict resolution.
What is the significance of the 'LA' suffix in 7143LA20JG8?
The 'LA' in 7143LA20JG8 denotes the low-power variant: it draws 1 mW typical standby current (vs. 5 mW for SA versions) and supports 2V data retention - enabling battery backup operation. This is achieved via optimized CMOS process and dynamic power gating controlled by CE. The '20' indicates 20 ns maximum read cycle time, and 'JG8' specifies the 68-pin PLCC package.
Can the 7143LA20JG8 operate without a MASTER IDT7133?
Yes - the 7143LA20JG8 functions as a standalone dual-port SRAM without a MASTER. In that mode, BUSYL and BUSYR must be tied HIGH (via pull-ups) to disable write inhibition. All other control signals (CE, R/W, OE) operate normally. However, hardware contention detection and resolution require either external logic or acceptance of potential data corruption during simultaneous writes to the same address.
What are the PCB layout requirements for the dual VCC and GND pins on 7143LA20JG8?
Both VCC pins (pins 17 and 44) and both GND pins (pins 35 and 61) on the 7143LA20JG8 must be individually connected to the respective power planes using short, low-inductance traces. Splitting supply current across two VCC pins reduces IR drop and improves noise immunity; dual GND connections minimize ground bounce during high-speed I/O transitions - essential to meet 20 ns timing margins and prevent setup/hold violations.
