Product details
Overview
CY7C131-55NXI from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1 K × 8 true dual-port static RAM with independent left/right ports, 55 ns maximum access time, 5 V ±10% supply, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C). It supports simultaneous reads of the same memory location and features BUSY arbitration and INT port-to-port interrupt flags. Used in multi-processor shared-memory systems requiring deterministic low-latency data exchange.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C131-55NXI datasheet, CY7C131-55NXI pinout, CY7C131-55NXI application, or CY7C131-55NXI equivalent, key selection criteria include dual-port arbitration timing (tBLA ≤20 ns), standby current (ISB1 = 35 mA), open-drain BUSY output requiring pull-up, and 52-pin PLCC package compatibility with legacy board layouts.
Technical Context
The CY7C131-55NXI implements fully asynchronous dual-port SRAM architecture with separate address/data/control buses per port (A0L–A9L/I/O0L–I/O7L/CEL/R/WL/OEL and A0R–A9R/I/O0R–I/O7R/CER/R/WR/OER). Arbitration logic resolves contention via open-drain BUSYL/BUSYR signals, while dedicated INTL/INTR flags enable inter-port communication at fixed addresses (3FFH and 3FEH).
It supports automatic power-down per port via CE control, delivers 110 mA max operating current (ICC), and uses 0.65 µm CMOS process for optimized speed-power trade-off. The device operates only in 5 V ±10% supply with TTL-compatible inputs and outputs, and requires external pull-up resistors on BUSY and INT pins.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 1 K × 8 (1024 words × 8 bits); provides byte-wide dual-access storage without external data-width expansion |
| Access Time | 55 ns max; defines worst-case read latency from address valid to data stable under industrial conditions |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10%; mandates regulated 4.5–5.5 V rail; no 3.3 V operation supported |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for industrial environments with full parameter guarantee |
| Standby Current | 35 mA max (ISB1, both ports disabled); determines quiescent power in idle multi-processor synchronization states |
| Output Drive | IOL = 4.0 mA / VOL ≤ 0.4 V; ensures TTL-level compatibility with legacy logic families |
| Input Thresholds | VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V; compatible with standard 5 V CMOS/TTL input drive requirements |
Pinout & Package
Package: 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), lead-free (RoHS-compliant), body size 19.1 mm × 19.1 mm, J-lead profile.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL, CER | Chip Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low per-port enable; controls power-down and memory access activation independently |
| R/WL, R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left/Right) | Active-low write strobe; high = read, low = write; determines data direction per port |
| OEL, OER | Output Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low tri-state control; disables I/O drivers to prevent bus contention |
| A0L–A9L, A0R–A9R | Address Inputs (Left/Right) | 10-bit address buses selecting one of 1024 locations per port; no internal address latching |
| I/O0L–I/O7L, I/O0R–I/O7R | Bidirectional Data Bus (Left/Right) | 8-bit parallel data path per port; high-impedance when OE or CE inactive |
| BUSYL, BUSYR | Busy Flag Output (Open Drain) | Indicates port contention; requires external 4.7 kΩ pull-up to VCC for logic HIGH assertion |
| INTL, INTR | Interrupt Flag (Open Drain) | Signals inter-port event at fixed addresses (3FFH/3FEH); also requires external pull-up |
| VCC, GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply; decoupling capacitor (0.1 µF) required per VCC pin per datasheet layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Dual-Port Architecture | Enables concurrent read/write operations on independent ports without internal arbitration delay penalties |
| Hardware Arbitration Logic | Detects address collisions in real time and asserts BUSY within 20 ns (tBLA), enabling deterministic conflict resolution |
| Port-to-Port Interrupt | Fixed-address interrupt generation (3FFH/3FEH) allows zero-software-overhead signaling between processors or DSP cores |
| Per-Port Power Management | Independent CE control enables selective port shutdown, reducing active current by up to 75% during asymmetric workload phases |
| 52-pin PLCC Compatibility | Matches footprint of CY7C131A-55NXI and CY7C141-55NXI, supporting drop-in replacement in existing industrial PCBs |
Applications
| DSP Shared Memory Buffer | Bit-Slice Processor Interconnect |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Two TMS320C6000 DSPs share real-time sensor data via common memory space with minimal latency overhead. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-port SRAM acts as non-blocking data exchange buffer; BUSY flag prevents corrupted reads during concurrent writes. Use Value: Eliminates software semaphore overhead and guarantees sub-55 ns inter-processor data transfer latency. | Use Scenario: Four 4-bit ALUs operate in parallel with shared instruction/data cache using bit-slice architecture. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Provides synchronized access to microcode ROM and register file; INT flags coordinate pipeline stage handshaking. Use Value: Enables deterministic 55 ns cycle-aligned execution across all slices without clock domain crossing logic. |
| Multi-Processor Synchronization Hub | Legacy Industrial Controller Upgrade |
Use Scenario: ARM Cortex-M7 and PowerPC MPC56xx coexist in safety-critical engine control unit, sharing calibration tables and fault logs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as arbitration-managed shared memory; BUSY signals enforce atomic access to critical variables. Use Value: Ensures MISRA-compliant deterministic memory access with hardware-enforced mutual exclusion. | Use Scenario: Retrofitting aging PLC backplane with modern microcontrollers while retaining original 5 V TTL bus interface. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bridges legacy 5 V address/data bus to new controller; matches timing specs of obsolete CY7C130-55PC. Use Value: Extends product lifecycle without redesigning backplane layout or changing bus termination schemes. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C131A-55NXI | Functionally identical; same timing, pinout, and electrical specs; marked as enhanced version per datasheet Rev. *H | No functional difference; used interchangeably in new designs where A-suffix preferred for traceability | Select when sourcing new production lots requiring latest revision status and extended manufacturer support |
| CY7C141-55NXI | Slave dual-port device; lacks BUSY output (BUSY input only); no internal arbitration logic; requires master (e.g., CY7C131) to drive it | Only usable in 16-bit+ bus expansion configurations with CY7C131 as master; not standalone | Choose only when expanding data width beyond 8 bits and implementing master-slave topology |
Compared with CY7C131A-55NXI, this part offers identical functionality but may reflect earlier wafer lot qualification; versus CY7C141-55NXI, it provides full autonomous dual-port operation rather than dependent slave behavior-critical for standalone shared-memory use cases.

FAQ
Is CY7C131-55NXI pin-compatible with CY7C130-55PC?
No. CY7C131-55NXI uses a 52-pin PLCC package, while CY7C130-55PC uses a 48-pin DIP. Though functionally similar, the pin count, layout, and signal mapping differ-especially for address lines (A0L–A9L vs. A0L–A11L) and BUSY/INT pin assignments. Direct replacement requires PCB redesign.
Does CY7C131-55NXI support 3.3 V operation?
No. The device is specified exclusively for 5 V ±10% operation (4.5 V to 5.5 V). Its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), output drive strength, and internal CMOS threshold voltages are calibrated for 5 V logic families. Operation below 4.5 V violates absolute maximum ratings and causes undefined behavior.
What external components are required for BUSY and INT pins?
Both BUSYL/BUSYR and INTL/INTR are open-drain outputs and require external pull-up resistors to VCC. Cypress recommends 4.7 kΩ resistors per signal, placed as close as possible to the SRAM pins. No capacitors or active drivers are needed-these pins interface directly with TTL/CMOS inputs on host processors.
Can CY7C131-55NXI be used without arbitration logic in single-port mode?
Yes. Either port can operate independently by holding the opposing port's CE high (disabled) and ignoring BUSY/INT signals. In this configuration, it functions as a standard asynchronous 1K×8 SRAM with full 55 ns access time-no arbitration overhead applies, and timing parameters match those of single-port devices like CY62128EV30.
