Product details
Overview
CY7C026AV-20AXI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 3.3V, 16K × 16-bit true dual-port static RAM with independent asynchronous ports, 20 ns access time, on-chip arbitration logic, and integrated semaphores - designed for interprocessor communication in real-time embedded systems requiring deterministic memory coherency.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C026AV-20AXI datasheet, CY7C026AV-20AXI pinout, CY7C026AV-20AXI application, or CY7C026AV-20AXI equivalent, key selection criteria include simultaneous port access timing, BUSY/INT/SEM signal behavior, M/S expandability for 32-bit bus width, and industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C) in 100-pin TQFP packaging.
Technical Context
This device implements a fully asynchronous dual-port SRAM architecture with separate address, data, and control buses per port (left/right), enabling concurrent read/write operations to any memory location. It integrates hardware arbitration via BUSY flags, software handshaking via eight semaphore latches, and port-to-port messaging using dedicated mailbox addresses (0x3FFF and 0x3FFE).
Arbitration resolution occurs within tPS (≤5 ns), with BUSY asserted tBLA (≤8 ns) after address match or tBLC (≤10 ns) after CE assertion. The M/S pin configures the device as master (BUSY output) or slave (BUSY input), supporting seamless 32-bit expansion without external logic.

Applications
| Industrial PLC Data Exchange | Real-Time Video Frame Buffering |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Two independent CPUs in a programmable logic controller share status, I/O mapping, and motion control parameters via shared memory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port SRAM acts as coherent interprocessor communication buffer with deterministic arbitration and semaphore-based mutual exclusion. Use Value: Eliminates software handshake delays; BUSY/INT signals ensure zero-latency coordination between ladder logic and motion engines. |
Use Scenario: A video processor writes rendered frames while a display controller reads prior frames for HDMI output - requiring zero-copy, non-blocking memory access. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Memory serves as ping-pong frame buffer with independent read/write ports synchronized only by BUSY flag during line-buffer overlap. Use Value: Enables 60 Hz full-HD streaming with no frame tearing or CPU intervention due to hardware-managed port arbitration. |
| Telecom Protocol Stack Buffering | Avionics Sensor Fusion Hub |
|
Use Scenario: Baseband and application processors exchange packetized voice/data in LTE base station firmware using shared descriptor rings and payload buffers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: SRAM provides low-latency, cache-coherent packet metadata exchange with semaphore-protected ring head/tail pointers. Use Value: Reduces protocol stack latency by 3.2 μs vs. software-mutexed DRAM, meeting 3GPP sub-10μs inter-CPU sync requirements. |
Use Scenario: Flight control computer aggregates inertial, GPS, and barometric sensor data across redundant processing channels with strict determinism. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Memory functions as fault-tolerant sensor fusion register bank, where semaphores enforce single-writer/multi-reader consistency. Use Value: Guarantees <100 ns worst-case arbitration delay between safety-critical channels, satisfying DO-254 Level A timing budgets. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT70V27L20PF | 16K × 16-bit, 20 ns, 3.3V, but lacks integrated semaphores and INT mailbox logic | Requires external logic or firmware for resource arbitration and inter-port signaling | Choose when system already implements software semaphore management and needs pin-compatible drop-in replacement |
| ISSI IS61WV102416BLL-20NLI | 1M × 16-bit, 20 ns, 3.3V, no BUSY/INT/SEM - single-port architecture with async interface | Cannot support true simultaneous dual-access; requires external arbitration circuitry | Choose only for cost-sensitive, non-contention applications where interprocessor coordination is handled externally |
Compared with IDT70V27L20PF and IS61WV102416BLL-20NLI, CY7C026AV-20AXI delivers hardware-enforced coherency through on-die arbitration, semaphores, and mailbox interrupts - reducing BOM count, firmware complexity, and worst-case latency in tightly coupled multiprocessor systems.

FAQ
What is the function of the M/S pin in CY7C026AV-20AXI?
The M/S pin configures the device as master (logic HIGH) or slave (logic LOW). In master mode, BUSY pins drive outputs to coordinate arbitration with slave devices; in slave mode, BUSY pins accept inputs from the master. This enables seamless 32-bit data bus expansion using multiple CY7C026AV-20AXI units without external logic.
How does the semaphore mechanism prevent race conditions between ports?
The eight on-chip semaphore latches operate as mutually exclusive resource locks: writing '0' to a semaphore grants ownership to that port; reading returns '0' if owned, '1' if free. The latch state is visible to both ports, and only the owning port can modify it - ensuring atomic acquisition/release without CPU polling or external arbitration.
Can CY7C026AV-20AXI operate with mixed voltage interfaces (e.g., 3.3V core, 1.8V I/O)?
No. CY7C026AV-20AXI is a single-supply 3.3V device (VCC = 3.3V ± 0.3V). All I/O pins - including address, data, and control signals - are strictly 3.3V-tolerant and require compatible 3.3V logic levels. Interfacing to 1.8V systems requires level-shifting circuitry on all signal paths.
What happens when both ports attempt to access the same address simultaneously?
On-chip arbitration asserts BUSY on the losing port within ≤8 ns (tBLA) of address match. The winning port gains immediate access; the losing port's data bus enters high-impedance state and must wait until BUSY deasserts. If tPS (≤5 ns setup) is violated, arbitration outcome remains deterministic but not predictable - requiring firmware to poll BUSY before retrying.
