Product details
Overview
CY7C131-15JC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1K × 8 true dual-port static RAM with independent left/right ports, 15 ns access time, 5 V ±10% supply, and 52-pin PLCC package. It supports simultaneous reads of the same memory location, features BUSY arbitration logic and INT interrupt flag, and serves as master device in 16-bit+ bus expansion systems using CY7C141 slaves.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C131-15JC datasheet, CY7C131-15JC pinout, CY7C131-15JC application, or CY7C131-15JC equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port arbitration timing (tBLA = 15 ns), CMOS standby current (ISB3 = 15 mA), open-drain BUSY output requiring pull-up, and compatibility with IDT7130/IDT7140 in multiprocessor shared-memory designs.
Technical Context
This device implements fully asynchronous dual-port SRAM architecture with separate address/data/control buses per port. Each port has dedicated CE, R/W, OE, BUSY, and INT signals, enabling concurrent read/write operations - subject to hardware arbitration when accessing identical addresses.
The CY7C131-15JC integrates on-chip arbitration logic that asserts BUSY when contention occurs, and uses fixed interrupt locations (3FFL, 3FER) for inter-port communication. Its automatic power-down is controlled independently per port via CE, supporting dynamic power management in real-time DSP or bit-slice systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 1K × 8 (1024 words × 8 bits), providing 8 KB total storage capacity across two independent ports |
| Access Time | 15 ns maximum - enables operation at up to ~66 MHz read cycle rate in high-speed embedded control loops |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with legacy TTL/CMOS logic families without level-shifting circuitry |
| Operating Current | ICC = 190 mA max (commercial) - defines worst-case active power draw under full-address cycling at fMAX |
| Standby Current | ISB3 = 15 mA (CMOS inputs, both ports disabled) - critical for low-power idle states in portable instrumentation |
| I/O Capacitance | CIN = 15 pF, COUT = 10 pF - constrains trace length and fan-out in high-density PCB layouts |
| Arbitration Delay | tBLA = 15 ns - minimum latency before BUSY asserts on address collision, bounding worst-case contention resolution time |
Pinout & Package
Package: 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-026AC compliant, surface-mountable with gull-wing leads.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A0L–A9L | Left port address inputs | 10-bit address bus for left-side memory access; decoded internally to select one of 1024 locations |
| I/O0L–I/O7L | Left port bidirectional data lines | 8-bit data path; tri-stated when OEL = HIGH or CEL = HIGH |
| CEL, R/WL, OEL | Left port control signals | Chip enable (active LOW), read/write direction, output enable - fully asynchronous operation |
| BUSYL, INTL | Left port status flags | BUSYL is open-drain output indicating address contention; INTL signals data written to 3FFH location |
| A0R–A9R | Right port address inputs | Independent 10-bit address bus; enables concurrent access to same or different memory locations |
| I/O0R–I/O7R | Right port bidirectional data lines | Electrically isolated from left port I/Os; requires separate bus loading consideration |
| CER, R/WR, OER | Right port control signals | Functionally identical to left port controls but operate independently; no internal synchronization required |
| BUSYR, INTR | Right port status flags | BUSYR is input (when used as slave); INTR indicates data written to 3FEH location |
| VCC, GND | Power supply pins | Single 5 V supply; decoupling required within 1 cm of VCC/GND pair to maintain 15 ns timing integrity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True dual-port architecture | Enables simultaneous, independent access to any memory location by two processors or DMA engines without software arbitration overhead |
| Hardware BUSY arbitration | Dedicated open-drain BUSY output (left port) detects address collisions in <15 ns, eliminating race conditions in real-time systems |
| Inter-port interrupt signaling | Fixed-location flags (3FFL/3FER) provide zero-latency notification of data availability between ports without polling |
| Per-port power-down control | Independent CE-driven sleep mode reduces active current to 15 mA per port, extending battery life in portable test equipment |
| Pin- and function-compatible with IDT7130 | Enables drop-in replacement in existing designs using IDT dual-port SRAMs, preserving layout and firmware logic |
Applications
| DSP Shared Memory Buffer | Multiprocessor Cache Coherence |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Two TMS320C54x DSPs share real-time sensor data streams via common memory space. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: CY7C131-15JC acts as master dual-port RAM, arbitrating concurrent accesses while maintaining deterministic 15 ns read latency. Use Value: Eliminates external arbitration logic and reduces inter-processor communication latency by 40% versus single-port SRAM + FPGA controller. |
Use Scenario: Dual-MIPS R3000 CPUs implement write-through cache with snoop-based coherency protocol. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides synchronized access to tag/status memory; BUSY flag prevents invalid cache line updates during simultaneous probes. Use Value: Guarantees atomic update of cache tags across CPUs with hardware-enforced serialization, avoiding software lock overhead. |
| Bit-Slice Processor Interconnect | Industrial Motion Controller FIFO |
Use Scenario: Four AMD 2901 ALUs share instruction and operand memory in custom bit-slice CPU design. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Serves as central register file with left/right ports mapped to ALU clusters; INT flags coordinate pipeline stage handoffs. Use Value: Enables 4-way parallel execution without bus contention, sustaining >50 MIPS aggregate throughput at 15 ns cycle time. |
Use Scenario: PLC-based servo drive buffers encoder position data and PWM command updates between ARM core and FPGA motion engine. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Functions as dual-clock domain FIFO: left port clocks with ARM AHB, right port clocks with FPGA logic at 100 MHz. Use Value: Absorbs jitter between domains with zero packet loss; BUSY arbitration prevents overrun during burst encoder sampling. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT7130LA15JG | Same 1K × 8 organization, 15 ns access, 52-pin PLCC; BUSY is push-pull (not open-drain) | No external pull-up required on BUSY; slightly higher ICC (200 mA vs 190 mA) | Select when simplifying BOM by eliminating pull-up resistors; verify system-level BUSY timing margins remain intact |
| CY7C141-15JC | Slave-only variant; BUSY input (not output); lacks arbitration logic; shares identical timing specs | Requires CY7C131-15JC as master; used only in 16-bit+ bus expansion configurations | Choose only when expanding data width beyond 8 bits; cannot replace CY7C131-15JC standalone |
Compared with IDT7130LA15JG, CY7C131-15JC offers lower active current and open-drain BUSY for wired-OR arbitration networks, while CY7C141-15JC serves strictly as a companion slave - neither provides standalone master functionality or identical pin-for-pin arbitration capability.

FAQ
Is CY7C131-15JC RoHS-compliant?
No - CY7C131-15JC was manufactured prior to RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC implementation and contains leaded solder in its 52-pin PLCC package. It is exempt under Annex III for legacy industrial equipment where form-fit-function replacement is required and no compliant alternative exists with identical timing and arbitration behavior.
Can BUSY output drive multiple inputs directly?
Yes - BUSYL is an open-drain output rated for 20 mA sink current and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7 kΩ to VCC). It can wire-OR with other open-drain BUSY signals from additional CY7C131 devices to create a system-wide contention indicator without level-shifting.
What happens if both ports attempt writes to the same address simultaneously?
The internal arbitration logic grants access to one port while asserting BUSY on the contending port. The winning port completes the write; the losing port's write is blocked until BUSY deasserts. No data corruption occurs, and tBHA (20 ns) defines the recovery window before valid data appears.
Does CY7C131-15JC support 3.3 V I/O interfacing?
No - it operates exclusively at 5 V ±10% and specifies VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V. Direct connection to 3.3 V logic requires level translation (e.g., TXB0108) on all control and data lines; mismatched voltage thresholds risk setup/hold violations and increased ICC.
