Product details
Overview
CY7C141-25JXC from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1K × 8 true dual-port static RAM with independent left/right ports, 25 ns maximum access time, 5 V supply, and 52-pin PLCC package. It functions as a slave device in 16-bit+ bus expansion systems paired with CY7C131/131A masters, enabling simultaneous read/write access to shared memory in multi-processor DSP cache buffers.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C141-25JXC datasheet, CY7C141-25JXC pinout, CY7C141-25JXC application, or CY7C141-25JXC equivalent, key selection criteria include BUSY-input arbitration logic, INT flag support for port-to-port signaling, automatic per-port power-down control, and compatibility with industrial temperature (–40°C to +85°C) operation.
Technical Context
This device implements fully asynchronous dual-port architecture with separate address, data, and control lines per port (A0L–A9L/I/O0L–I/O7L/CEL/R/WL/OEL on left; A0R–A9R/I/O0R–I/O7R/CER/R/WR/OER on right). BUSY is an input-only signal used for collision detection during master-slave arbitration, unlike the open-drain BUSY output on master devices.
It supports two distinct operational modes: standalone 8-bit dual-port memory or slave unit in 16-bit-wide configurations when cascaded with CY7C131/131A. The INT flag enables inter-port communication via fixed interrupt addresses (3FFH left, 3FEH right), and per-port CE-driven power-down reduces standby current to 45 mA (industrial grade).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 1K × 8 bits (1024 words × 8-bit data width) |
| Access Time | 25 ns max - determines minimum read cycle time (tRC) in high-speed DSP or bit-slice systems |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic rails and industrial 5 V power domains |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded control and communications equipment |
| Standby Current (ISB1) | 45 mA max (both ports disabled) - enables low-power idle states in battery-backed or energy-sensitive designs |
| Package Type | 52-pin PLCC - surface-mount compatible with automated assembly and thermal performance suitable for dense PCB layouts |
| Bus Arbitration | BUSY input only - requires external master (e.g., CY7C131) to drive BUSY; no internal arbitration logic |
Pinout & Package
CY7C141-25JXC is housed in a 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC) package with J-lead configuration, lead-free compliant, and body size 19.1 mm × 19.1 mm. Pin 1 is located at the index corner adjacent to the notch.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low per-port enable; controls power-down state and I/O tri-state independently |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left/Right) | Active-low write strobe; high = read, low = write; defines direction of data flow per port |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low control of output drivers; allows independent read gating without disabling chip |
| A0L–A9L / A0R–A9R | Address Inputs (Left/Right) | 10-bit address bus per port; selects one of 1024 memory locations for concurrent access |
| I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R | Data Bus (Left/Right) | Bidirectional 8-bit data path per port; supports simultaneous read/write across ports |
| BUSY | Arbitration Input | Input-only signal indicating memory contention; driven by master device (e.g., CY7C131) during address collision |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag (Left/Right) | Open-drain outputs signaling inter-port events; require external pull-up; tied to fixed addresses 3FFH/3FEH |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply / Ground | Single 5 V supply with dedicated ground plane; decoupling required near pins 1 and 52 per layout guidelines |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True dual-port architecture | Enables concurrent, independent read/write operations on left and right ports without internal arbitration overhead |
| Slave-mode BUSY input | Eliminates need for external arbitration logic when paired with CY7C131/131A master, simplifying 16-bit bus expansion |
| Per-port power-down control | Reduces system power by disabling unused port circuitry while maintaining active port functionality |
| Fixed-address interrupt flags | Supports deterministic port-to-port handshaking using dedicated addresses (3FFH left, 3FEH right), avoiding software polling |
| Industrial temperature range | Validated operation from –40°C to +85°C ensures reliability in factory automation, motor drives, and telecom infrastructure |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C141-25ZXC | Pb-free 52-pin TQFP package instead of PLCC; identical electrical specs and pinout mapping | Suitable for fine-pitch SMT lines with reflow-compatible footprint; lower profile than PLCC | Select when board space constraints or automated optical inspection favor TQFP over PLCC |
| IDT70V25L25PF | 1K × 8, 25 ns, but features built-in busy arbitration logic and single 3.3 V supply | Self-contained dual-port operation without master/slave pairing; incompatible voltage domain | Choose only if migrating to 3.3 V systems and eliminating master device complexity is prioritized over Cypress ecosystem continuity |
Compared with CY7C141-25ZXC, the JXC variant offers proven PLCC reliability in vibration-prone industrial environments; versus IDT70V25L25PF, it retains 5 V compatibility and seamless integration with existing CY7C131-based designs but requires external master arbitration.

FAQ
Is CY7C141-25JXC pin-compatible with CY7C140-25JXC?
No. While both are 52-pin PLCC dual-port SRAMs, CY7C140 is specified for commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) and lacks industrial qualification. CY7C141-25JXC supports –40°C to +85°C operation and has validated ISB1 standby current of 45 mA under industrial conditions - a critical distinction for ruggedized applications.
Can CY7C141-25JXC operate as a standalone dual-port memory without a master device?
Yes, but with limitations: BUSY must be held inactive (high via pull-up) since it is an input-only signal, and INT flag usage requires external handling of 3FFH/3FEH addresses. Full arbitration and priority resolution require pairing with CY7C131/131A master; standalone use forfeits collision detection and automatic port prioritization.
What is the maximum clock frequency supported for continuous read cycles?
There is no internal clock; operation is fully asynchronous. Maximum sustained read rate is determined by tRC = 25 ns, yielding up to 40 MHz effective throughput per port. Address and control setup/hold times (e.g., tSA = 0 ns, tHA = 2 ns) allow tight timing margins in high-speed logic designs without added wait states.
Does CY7C141-25JXC support hot insertion or live swapping?
No. The device lacks hot-swap protection circuitry such as power-on reset, I/O clamp diodes, or slew-rate controlled outputs. Applying VCC or signals before proper power sequencing risks latch-up or excessive I/O leakage, as confirmed by Absolute Maximum Ratings specifying strict voltage ramp limits and –0.5 V to +7.0 V non-operational input tolerance.
