Product details
Overview
71V321L55JI from Renesas Electronics (formerly IDT) is a high-speed, 3.3V, 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM with on-chip interrupt logic and BUSY arbitration for interprocessor communication. It supports fully asynchronous access from independent left/right ports, delivers 55 ns read/write cycle time, consumes ≤5 mA standby current (ISB3), and operates across –40°C to +85°C industrial temperature range - used in real-time embedded control systems requiring concurrent memory access.
For engineers reviewing the 71V321L55JI datasheet, 71V321L55JI pinout, 71V321L55JI application, or 71V321L55JI equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port arbitration timing (tBDD ≤ 45 ns), battery-backed data retention at 2.0 V (VDR), TTL-compatible 3.3 V I/O, and PLCC-52 package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
This device implements true dual-port SRAM architecture with separate address, control, and bidirectional I/O buses per port - enabling simultaneous read/write operations without software coordination. Its hardware BUSY arbitration resolves port contention via address and chip-enable matching, asserting BUSYL/BUSYR outputs to stall conflicting accesses.
The interrupt subsystem uses dedicated mailbox addresses (7FEh for INTL, 7FFh for INTR) to signal cross-port events; flags are set by write operations and cleared by read accesses to those locations. All control signals (CEL/CER, OEL/OER, R/WL/R/WR) operate asynchronously with no internal clock required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 bits (16,384 bits total); enables byte-wide parallel data exchange between two processors or subsystems. |
| Access Time (tAA) | 55 ns max - defines minimum address hold time before valid data appears; critical for meeting real-time latency budgets in control loops. |
| Read Cycle Time (tRC) | 55 ns max - determines maximum sustained read throughput (≈18.2 MHz) when alternating addresses. |
| Standby Current (ISB3) | 0.2 mA typ. at 3.3 V - achieved when both ports are fully deselected with CMOS-level inputs; enables ultra-low-power sleep modes. |
| Data Retention Voltage (VDR) | 2.0 V min - allows memory state preservation during main power loss using backup battery; verified for industrial temp range. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for deployment in automotive engine control units, industrial PLCs, and telecom line cards. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0 V to 3.6 V - single-rail operation simplifies power design; rejects supply noise up to ±0.3 V tolerance. |
Pinout & Package
71V321L55JI is packaged in a 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), JEDEC standard PLG52 footprint (approx. 19.05 mm × 19.05 mm × 4.32 mm), with gull-wing leads and internal heat slug. Pin 1 marked by corner notch; requires full VCC and GND decoupling per datasheet layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus selecting one of 2K locations; must be stable before CE/OE assertion for reliable access. |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit parallel data path; high-impedance when OEL = VIH or CEL = VIH; drives full TTL levels. |
| CEL, OEL, R/WL | Left port control enables | Chip enable (active low), output enable (active low), and read/write direction (high=read, low=write). |
| BUSYL, INTL | Left port status outputs | BUSYL indicates port contention (totem-pole, no pull-up needed); INTL is interrupt flag set by right-port writes to 7FEh. |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | Mirrored left-port addressing; independent timing allows concurrent access to different memory locations. |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | Electrically isolated from left I/O; supports independent data transfers without bus contention. |
| CER, OER, R/WR | Right port control enables | Functionally identical to left-side controls but with independent timing domains and arbitration interaction. |
| BUSYR, INTR | Right port status outputs | BUSYR signals contention from left port; INTR asserted when left port writes to 7FFh mailbox address. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-port arbitration with BUSY outputs | Hardware-resolved contention detection via address/CE match; eliminates need for external semaphores or polling in multi-CPU designs. |
| Interprocessor interrupt mailboxes | Dedicated 7FEh (INTL) and 7FFh (INTR) addresses enable zero-latency event signaling between ports without shared registers or software overhead. |
| 2.0 V data retention mode | Preserves memory contents during main power failure using backup battery; validated down to –40°C, supporting fail-safe system recovery. |
| TTL-compatible 3.3 V interface | Direct connection to 3.3 V microcontrollers and FPGAs without level-shifting; VIH = 2.0 V min ensures robust noise margin in noisy environments. |
| Low-power standby (ISB3 = 0.2 mA) | Enables energy-efficient operation in battery-powered or thermally constrained applications; reduces thermal load and extends system runtime. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C024AV-55AXC | 55 ns access, 2K × 16 organization, 3.3 V core, but requires external BUSY arbitration logic and lacks integrated interrupt mailboxes. | Suitable for wider data paths; not drop-in for 8-bit systems requiring mailbox-based IPC. | Select when 16-bit bus width is mandatory and external arbitration is acceptable. |
| AS7C3256B-55JC | 55 ns, 32K × 8, 3.3 V, no BUSY or interrupt logic; single-port architecture with optional dual-port variants requiring external glue logic. | Higher density but no hardware interprocessor signaling; requires firmware-managed semaphores. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-real-time applications where software coordination suffices. |
Compared with CY7C024AV-55AXC and AS7C3256B-55JC, the 71V321L55JI uniquely integrates hardware arbitration and mailbox interrupts in an 8-bit dual-port package - reducing BOM count, PCB area, and firmware complexity for tightly coupled multi-processor systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 71V321L55JI?
The 71V321L55JI is rated for industrial temperature operation from –40°C to +85°C, as confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Temperature and Supply Voltage" table (page 3) and ordering information (page 14). This qualification supports deployment in under-hood automotive ECUs and factory-floor PLCs where ambient thermal stress exceeds commercial-grade limits.
Does the 71V321L55JI support battery backup for data retention?
Yes, the 71V321L55JI supports data retention at 2.0 V minimum supply voltage (VDR), with typical retention current of 100 µA at 2 V and 25°C. This capability is exclusive to the "L" (low-power) variant and is documented in Table 7 (Data Retention Characteristics) and Figure 4 (Data Retention Waveform) of the datasheet.
How does the BUSY arbitration logic function in the 71V321L55JI?
The 71V321L55JI asserts BUSYL or BUSYR when both ports attempt access to the same memory location simultaneously - determined solely by address and chip-enable matching. The winning port proceeds; the losing port's write is gated internally. Timing parameters like tBDD (≤45 ns) define delay from BUSY deassertion to valid data, ensuring deterministic resolution without software intervention.
What package type is used for the 71V321L55JI?
The 71V321L55JI uses a 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package, identified as PLG52 in Renesas' ordering nomenclature. Pin configuration diagrams (page 2) and mechanical dimensions (note 3, page 2) confirm its 19.05 mm × 19.05 mm body size with gull-wing leads compatible with standard PLCC sockets and reflow profiles.
Can the 71V321L55JI be used in a 3.0 V system?
Yes, the 71V321L55JI operates across a 3.0 V to 3.6 V supply range, as specified in the "Recommended DC Operating Conditions" table (page 3). At 3.0 V, all AC timing parameters (e.g., tRC = 55 ns max) and DC characteristics (e.g., VOH ≥ 2.4 V) remain guaranteed, enabling interoperability with 3.0 V logic families without level shifters.
