Product details
Overview
71V321SA55PF8 from Renesas Electronics is a high-speed 3.3V 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM with independent left/right ports, on-chip interrupt logic (INTL/INTR), BUSY arbitration flag, and 55 ns max read/write cycle time. It operates across commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C), supports TTL-compatible I/O, and delivers 325 mW typical active power consumption. Used in real-time interprocessor communication systems requiring concurrent memory access.
For engineers reviewing the 71V321SA55PF8 datasheet, 71V321SA55PF8 pinout, 71V321SA55PF8 application, or 71V321SA55PF8 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, package mapping, functional timing behavior, and validated alternative options for dual-port SRAM selection in embedded control and data coherency architectures.
Technical Context
The 71V321SA55PF8 implements fully asynchronous dual-port operation with separate address, control, and bidirectional I/O buses per port. Its internal arbitration logic uses address and chip-enable matching (not R/W state) to assert BUSYL/BUSYR outputs, enabling hardware-based contention resolution without external logic.
Interrupt functionality is implemented via dedicated mailbox addresses: INTL asserts when right port writes to 0x7FE; INTR asserts when left port writes to 0x7FF. Both flags are cleared by reading the same address with OE and CE asserted - no dedicated control register or command sequence required.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 2K × 8 bits (2048 words × 8-bit data width), providing 16,384 total bits of fast-access SRAM |
| Access Time | 55 ns maximum read/write cycle time - defines minimum clock period for synchronous interface designs |
| Supply Voltage | 3.3 V ± 0.3 V - requires single low-noise rail; not compatible with 5 V or 2.5 V systems |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial grade) - excludes industrial-grade thermal margin and qualification |
| Active Current | 55 mA typical (both ports active) - enables accurate power budgeting for multi-port memory subsystems |
| Standby Current | 1.0 mA typical full standby (ISB3) - achieved when both CE inputs > VCC − 0.2 V and all inputs at CMOS levels |
| I/O Interface | TTL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIH = 2.0 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) - ensures interoperability with legacy 3.3 V logic families |
Pinout & Package
71V321SA55PF8 is packaged in a 64-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Pack), code PNG64, body size 10 mm × 10 mm × 1.4 mm. All VCC and GND pins must be individually decoupled per manufacturer layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A10L | Left port address inputs | 11-bit address bus selecting one of 2048 locations for left-side access |
| A0R–A10R | Right port address inputs | Independent 11-bit address bus enabling concurrent right-side memory access |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; direction controlled by R/WL and OEL; high-impedance when deselected |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data | 8-bit data path; direction controlled by R/WR and OER; electrically isolated from left port I/O |
| CEL, CER | Chip enable inputs | Active-low enables respective port; deassertion places port into low-power standby (ISB1–ISB4) |
| OEL, OER | Output enable inputs | Active-low controls output drivers; used with R/W to define read/write direction and tri-state behavior |
| R/WL, R/WR | Read/write control | Active-low write enable; high = read mode; determines data flow direction on I/O bus |
| BUSYL, BUSYR | Arbitration status outputs | Totem-pole outputs indicating port-level contention; asserted low when opposite port accesses same address |
| INTL, INTR | Interrupt flag outputs | Open-drain capable (per datasheet note); indicate mailbox writes to 0x7FE (left) or 0x7FF (right) |
| VCC, GND | Power supply terminals | Multiple VCC/GND pairs require local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling; no shared ground plane assumption |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-port arbitration logic | Hardware-based BUSY assertion using address + CE match only - eliminates need for external priority encoder or glue logic |
| Interprocessor interrupt mailbox | User-defined 8-bit message storage at fixed addresses (0x7FE/0x7FF) with automatic flag generation and clear-on-read behavior |
| Asynchronous port independence | Full read/write capability on either port at any time - no synchronization overhead or clock domain crossing required |
| Low-power standby modes | Four distinct standby current states (ISB1–ISB4) selectable via CE and input voltage levels - supports fine-grained power gating |
| TQFP packaging | 64-pin thin quad flat pack (PNG64) with 0.5 mm pitch - suitable for automated SMT assembly and moderate I/O density layouts |
Applications
| Real-Time Interprocessor Communication | Redundant Control System Memory |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Two microcontrollers exchange status and command data through shared memory without software polling or OS intervention. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port SRAM acts as hardware-synchronized mailbox; BUSY signals stall conflicting writes; INTL/INTR trigger CPU interrupts. Use Value: Eliminates race conditions during concurrent access; reduces inter-CPU latency to ≤55 ns; removes need for semaphore software overhead. | Use Scenario: Primary and backup controllers maintain identical state copies in mirrored memory banks for failover readiness. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Left port serves primary controller; right port serves backup; arbitration ensures atomic updates during switchover sequences. Use Value: Enables sub-microsecond state synchronization; guarantees memory coherency without external arbitration logic or FPGA resources. |
| Video Frame Buffer Sharing | DSP + MCU Co-Processing Interface |
Use Scenario: Video processor writes rendered frames while display controller reads previous frame - simultaneous access required. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as ping-pong buffer; left port connects to video engine; right port connects to display timing controller. Use Value: Supports continuous 60 Hz video streaming with zero-frame-drop guarantee; eliminates FIFO depth estimation and overflow handling. | Use Scenario: DSP performs signal processing while MCU handles user interface and system management - shared results buffer needed. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides deterministic, low-latency data handoff between heterogeneous processors; interrupt flags notify completion. Use Value: Reduces inter-processor handshaking time from milliseconds (UART) to nanoseconds; enables pipelined execution across domains. |
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 supply, but lacks integrated BUSY arbitration logic | Requires external logic for contention detection; wider data bus suits 16-bit systems but increases pin count | Choose when 16-bit data path is required and external arbitration is acceptable |
| AS7C3256A-55JCIN | 55 ns access, 32K × 8 organization, 3.3 V supply, no interrupt or BUSY features | Higher density but no hardware interprocessor signaling; suited for simple shared memory, not real-time coherency | Choose when larger memory capacity is critical and software-managed synchronization suffices |
Compared with CY7C024AV-55AXC and AS7C3256A-55JCIN, the 71V321SA55PF8 uniquely integrates hardware arbitration and interrupt mailbox logic - reducing BOM count, PCB area, and firmware complexity in tightly coupled dual-processor systems.

FAQ
What is the exact memory capacity and organization of the 71V321SA55PF8?
The 71V321SA55PF8 provides 2K × 8 bits of static RAM - 2048 addressable words, each 8 bits wide, totaling 16,384 bits. This organization supports byte-aligned access from both ports independently, with no internal banking or interleaving. The 71V321SA55PF8 does not support word-wide (16-bit) or larger data paths without external multiplexing.
Does the 71V321SA55PF8 support battery backup or data retention below 3.3 V?
No - the 71V321SA55PF8 is the 'S' (standard power) variant and does not include battery backup capability. Only the 'L' (low-power) versions (e.g., 71V321L55PF8) specify 2.0 V minimum data retention voltage and microamp-level standby current. The 71V321SA55PF8 requires continuous 3.3 V ± 0.3 V supply for reliable operation and data retention.
How does BUSY arbitration work on the 71V321SA55PF8, and what triggers BUSYL or BUSYR?
BUSY arbitration on the 71V321SA55PF8 activates when both ports attempt to access the same memory address simultaneously - determined solely by matching A0–A10 and asserting CEL/CER low. BUSYL goes low if the right port wins arbitration; BUSYR goes low if the left port wins. The 71V321SA55PF8 does not consider R/W state or OE in arbitration - only address and chip-enable alignment.
Can the interrupt flags (INTL and INTR) on the 71V321SA55PF8 be used as open-drain outputs?
Yes - although the 71V321SA55PF8 datasheet specifies INTL and INTR as totem-pole outputs, application notes and pin configuration diagrams confirm they are compatible with open-drain usage when externally pulled up. This allows wired-OR interrupt aggregation across multiple devices. The 71V321SA55PF8 interrupt behavior remains unchanged: INTL asserts on right-port write to 0x7FE; INTR asserts on left-port write to 0x7FF.
What package type and footprint does the 71V321SA55PF8 use, and are there thermal or layout constraints?
The 71V321SA55PF8 uses a 64-pin TQFP (Thin Quad Flat Pack), package code PNG64, with 10 mm × 10 mm body and 0.5 mm lead pitch. Layout requires strict adherence to Renesas' recommended decoupling: one 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor per VCC pin pair, placed within 3 mm of each pin. Thermal vias under the exposed pad (if present) are not applicable - the PNG64 variant has no thermal pad.
