Product details
Overview
71V321SA55PF from Renesas Electronics is a high-speed 3.3V 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM with on-chip interrupt logic and BUSY arbitration, designed for interprocessor communication in embedded control systems. It supports fully asynchronous access from independent left/right ports, delivers 55 ns read/write cycle time, operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), and features TTL-compatible I/O with single 3.3V supply.
For engineers reviewing the 71V321SA55PF datasheet, 71V321SA55PF pinout, 71V321SA55PF application, or 71V321SA55PF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, real-world use scenarios, and validated alternative options for dual-port SRAM selection in real-time co-processor architectures.
Technical Context
The 71V321SA55PF implements hardware-based port arbitration via totem-pole BUSY outputs (BUSYL/BUSYR) that assert when both ports simultaneously access the same memory address-enabling deterministic conflict resolution without software overhead. Its interrupt logic uses dedicated mailbox addresses (7FEH for INTL, 7FFH for INTR) to signal cross-port events with ≤45 ns set/reset timing.
It supports battery-backed data retention down to 2.0V (L-version only), though the 'S' suffix in 71V321SA55PF confirms standard-power operation (typ. 55 mA dynamic current, 1.0 mA full standby). The device uses CMOS process technology and requires no external pull-ups on BUSY/INT lines due to internal totem-pole drivers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 (2048 words × 8 bits = 16,384 bits), enabling byte-wide parallel data exchange between two processors. |
| Access Time | 55 ns max (tRC, tWC), defining minimum cycle interval for reliable read/write operations at full speed. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0–3.6 V (nominal 3.3 V), ensuring compatibility with modern low-voltage digital logic families without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial grade), suitable for industrial control panels, test equipment, and communications infrastructure. |
| Power Consumption | Typ. 55 mA active current (both ports), 1.0 mA full standby (ISB3), enabling efficient power management in always-on systems. |
| Interrupt Timing | tINS/tINR ≤ 45 ns, allowing rapid inter-processor signaling with minimal latency in time-critical firmware handshakes. |
| BUSY Arbitration Delay | tBDD ≤ 45 ns, guaranteeing fast detection and blocking of conflicting writes before memory corruption occurs. |
Pinout & Package
71V321SA55PF is packaged in a 64-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flatpack), measuring 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm, with lead-free (Green) finish and surface-mount compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus for left-side memory access (0–2047 decimal); enables full 2K addressing. |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | Independent 11-bit address bus for right-side access; allows concurrent reads/writes to different locations. |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data bus | 8-bit parallel interface; direction controlled by R/WL and OEL; high-impedance when deselected. |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data bus | Electrically isolated 8-bit bus; supports simultaneous independent data transfers with left port. |
| CEL / CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low enables respective port; deassertion places port in low-power standby (ISB1–ISB4). |
| OEL / OER | Output enable (left/right) | Controls tri-state output drivers; allows shared bus usage without contention when disabled. |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | Defines data flow direction per port; write asserted when LOW, read when HIGH (with OE enabled). |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt flags (left/right) | Open-drain compatible (totem-pole), active-high signals indicating mailbox writes (7FEH/7FFH). |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Arbitration busy flags (left/right) | Totem-pole outputs asserting LOW during address collision; used to stall contending port access. |
| VCC / GND | Power and ground | Multiple VCC pins require decoupling near package; all GND pins must be connected to common ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent asynchronous ports | Enables true parallel processor access without clock synchronization or arbitration firmware overhead. |
| Hardware BUSY arbitration | Prevents memory corruption by automatically gating writes on contested addresses using dedicated BUSY outputs. |
| Programmable interrupt mailboxes | Uses standard SRAM locations (7FEH, 7FFH) as user-defined message registers for lightweight inter-processor signaling. |
| Low-power standby modes | Four distinct ISB states (ISB1–ISB4) allow fine-grained power control per port based on CE/SE input levels. |
| TTL-compatible 3.3V I/O | Eliminates need for voltage translators when interfacing with legacy 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs. |
Applications
| Industrial PLC Co-Processor Interface | Real-Time Data Acquisition Buffer |
|---|---|

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 CY7C024AV-55AXC | 55 ns access, 2K × 16 organization, 3.3V, but lacks integrated BUSY arbitration logic and uses separate semaphore pins. | Requires external logic for collision detection; better suited for wider-data-width systems where 16-bit access is preferred. | Select when 16-bit bus width is required and external arbitration is acceptable; avoid if deterministic hardware BUSY is mandatory. |
| Renesas 71V3555SA55PFG | Same 64-pin TQFP package and 55 ns speed, but 8K × 8 organization and enhanced interrupt vector support (INT0/INT1). | Offers larger memory footprint and dual-interrupt capability for complex multi-threaded firmware designs. | Choose for scalability beyond 2K; verify PCB layout compatibility-pinout differs in address/data grouping despite identical footprint. |
Compared with CY7C024AV-55AXC and 71V3555SA55PFG, the 71V321SA55PF delivers unique on-die BUSY arbitration and mailbox-style interrupts in a compact 2K × 8 form factor-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, latency-critical dual-processor interfaces where minimal external components are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by the 71V321SA55PF?
The 71V321SA55PF does not specify a clock frequency-it is a fully asynchronous SRAM. Its performance is defined by timing parameters: 55 ns read cycle time (tRC) and 55 ns write cycle time (tWC), corresponding to a theoretical maximum sustained transfer rate of approximately 18.2 million operations per second per port under ideal conditions.
Does the 71V321SA55PF support battery backup for data retention?
No-the 'S' suffix in 71V321SA55PF denotes standard-power operation. Battery backup with 2.0V data retention is exclusive to 'L' versions (e.g., 71V321L55PF). The 71V321SA55PF draws typical active current of 55 mA and full standby current of 1.0 mA, optimized for main-supply-only systems.
How are the INTL and INTR interrupt flags triggered in the 71V321SA55PF?
In the 71V321SA55PF, INTL asserts when the right port writes to address 7FEH; INTR asserts when the left port writes to 7FFH. Both flags clear automatically upon reading the respective address with CE and OE asserted-no dedicated reset command is needed. Timing is guaranteed ≤45 ns (tINS/tINR).
Can the 71V321SA55PF be used in depth-expanded memory arrays?
Yes-when expanding depth (e.g., stacking multiple 71V321SA55PFs for larger capacity), the BUSY outputs must be externally ANDed because BUSY arbitration is per-device. Figure 3 in the datasheet shows routing for depth expansion; no modification to the 71V321SA55PF itself is required beyond proper CE decoding and BUSY logic gating.
What is the meaning of the 'PF' suffix in 71V321SA55PF?
The 'PF' in 71V321SA55PF is the package code denoting 64-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flatpack), per Renesas ordering nomenclature. It corresponds to the PNG64 package type, with dimensions 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm and lead-free (Green) finish-confirmed in the official Orderable Part Information table.
