Product details
Overview
CY7C024-25AXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 4K x 16-bit true dual-port static RAM with independent left/right ports, 25 ns access time, 5 V supply, and integrated semaphore/INT/BUSY arbitration logic-used in interprocessor communication buffers and video memory coherency management.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C024-25AXC datasheet, CY7C024-25AXC pinout, CY7C024-25AXC application, or CY7C024-25AXC equivalent, key selection criteria include asynchronous dual-port timing, on-chip semaphore latch behavior, M/S master/slave expansion capability, and PLCC-84 package compatibility with legacy industrial control backplanes.
Technical Context
The device implements fully asynchronous dual-port operation with separate CE/R/W/OE controls per port, enabling concurrent read/write access to any memory location. Arbitration is handled by hardware BUSY flag generation (tBLA = 10 ns) and deterministic INT flag assertion upon mailbox write (addresses FFEh/FFFh).
Semaphore logic comprises eight dedicated latches accessible via SEM pin activation; only one port may write to a given semaphore at a time, with state mirrored across ports to enforce mutual exclusion. The M/S pin configures BUSY as output (master) or input (slave), enabling 32-bit-wide memory expansion without external logic.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 4K × 16-bit (64 Kbit total), two independent address/data paths |
| Access Time | 25 ns maximum - defines minimum cycle time for non-contention reads/writes |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic families |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (Commercial grade) - validated for office and lab environments |
| ICC (Typ) | 160 mA - determines power budget for multi-device dual-port memory subsystems |
| Standby Current ISB1 | 30 mA (typ) - enables low-power hold mode when CE is deasserted per port |
| Bus Width Control | Separate UB/LB pins per port - allows byte-selective writes without masking logic |
Pinout & Package
Available in 84-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) with 0.050″ lead pitch and Pb-free finish. Pin layout supports through-hole mounting and rework-friendly socketing in legacy industrial PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left/Right) | Independent port activation; deassertion places port in automatic power-down mode |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left/Right) | Active-HIGH write enable; synchronous with CE and address setup for valid write cycle |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left/Right) | Controls data bus drivers; required HIGH for read outputs, ignored during writes |
| SEML / SEMR | Semaphore Enable (Left/Right) | Activates semaphore latch access instead of memory array; CE must remain HIGH |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag (Left/Right) | Open-drain output asserted when opposite port writes to mailbox (FFEh/FFFh) |
| BUSYL / BUSYR | Busy Flag (Left/Right) | In master mode: output indicating local port lost arbitration; in slave mode: input from master's BUSY |
| M/S | Master/Slave Select | Configures BUSY pin direction; HIGH = master (BUSY output), LOW = slave (BUSY input) |
| UBL / UBR, LBL / LBR | Upper/Lower Byte Select | Enables byte-granular writes to I/O0–I/O7 (lower) or I/O8–I/O15 (upper) independently |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Dual-Port Memory Cells | Enables simultaneous read from same address on both ports - eliminates need for external synchronization logic |
| On-Chip Semaphore Logic (8 latches) | Provides hardware-enforced mutual exclusion for shared resources without software polling overhead |
| Mailbox-Based Port-to-Port Interrupts | Uses fixed high-address locations (FFEh/FFFh) for deterministic inter-processor signaling with auto-clear on read |
| Master/Slave Expansion Mode | Allows 32-bit data bus construction using M/S pin and daisy-chained BUSY signals - no glue logic required |
| Independent Per-Port Power Control | Each port enters low-power standby when its CE is deasserted - reduces system-level idle current |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT70V25L25PF | 4K × 16-bit, 25 ns, but uses 3.3 V supply and LVDS-compatible I/O | Requires level-shifting for 5 V systems; lacks M/S pin for native 32-bit expansion | Select when migrating to lower-voltage designs with existing IDT ecosystem support |
| CY7C024-25JC | Identical electrical specs and pinout, but in ceramic J-lead package rated for –55°C to +125°C | Qualified for extended temperature industrial/military use; higher cost and longer lead time | Select when operating outside commercial temperature range or requiring hermetic packaging |
Compared with IDT70V25L25PF and CY7C024-25JC, the CY7C024-25AXC offers direct 5 V compatibility, PLCC-84 footprint for legacy repair, and integrated M/S expansion-making it optimal for cost-sensitive commercial embedded upgrades without voltage or package redesign.

FAQ
What is the function of the M/S pin on CY7C024-25AXC?
The M/S pin configures the device as master (HIGH) or slave (LOW), determining BUSY pin direction. In master mode, BUSY is an output signaling arbitration outcome; in slave mode, BUSY is an input receiving arbitration status from the master. This enables 32-bit memory expansion using daisy-chained BUSY signals without external logic.
How do the semaphore latches operate in CY7C024-25AXC?
The device contains eight dedicated semaphore latches accessed via SEM pin activation. Writing 0 to a semaphore grants exclusive access to that resource; the value appears as 1 on the opposite port. Only the side reading 0 may modify the latch. Reading returns the current state latched to prevent corruption during cross-port writes.
Can CY7C024-25AXC be used in a single-port configuration?
Yes - either port can be disabled by holding its CE pin HIGH while using the other port normally. All control signals (R/W, OE, UB, LB) remain functional on the active port, and the inactive port draws only standby current (30 mA typ). No reconfiguration or external termination is required.
What timing parameters govern interrupt generation from mailbox writes?
Writing to address FFEh (left port mailbox) or FFFh (right port mailbox) asserts the corresponding INT flag within tACE (25 ns max) after CE assertion. The flag remains active until the owning port reads the mailbox location; BUSY assertion on either port blocks INT assertion and mailbox reads until arbitration resolves.
