Product details
Overview
CY7C141-25JXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 1K × 8 dual-port static RAM with true independent left/right port access, 25 ns maximum access time, 5 V ±10% supply, and 52-pin PLCC package. It functions as a slave device in 16-bit+ bus expansion systems paired with CY7C131/CY7C131A masters, enabling shared memory for multi-processor DSP cache and bit-slice architectures.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C141-25JXCT datasheet, CY7C141-25JXCT pinout, CY7C141-25JXCT application, or CY7C141-25JXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include BUSY input capability, INT flag support for port-to-port signaling, asynchronous dual-port timing, and industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) operation.
Technical Context
This device implements fully asynchronous dual-port SRAM architecture with separate address, data, and control buses per port. Each port features independent CE, R/W, and OE pins, plus dedicated BUSY (input) and INT (output) flags for arbitration and inter-port communication.
The CY7C141 operates exclusively as a slave unit: its BUSY pin accepts arbitration signals from master devices (e.g., CY7C131), while its INT output signals interrupt events triggered by writes to reserved addresses (3FEH for right port). Power-down is controlled per port via CE assertion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Memory Organization | 1K × 8 (1024 words × 8 bits), providing 8 KB total storage with dual-port read/write independence |
| Access Time | 25 ns max - defines minimum cycle time for reliable read operations under industrial conditions |
| Supply Voltage | 5 V ±10% - requires stable 4.5–5.5 V rail; not compatible with 3.3 V or mixed-voltage systems |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems without derating |
| Standby Current | 45 mA max (both ports disabled) - enables low-power hold mode during system idle periods |
| Bus Interface | Asynchronous, non-multiplexed - eliminates clock domain synchronization overhead between ports |
| Arbitration Logic | BUSY input only - relies on external master (e.g., CY7C131) to resolve contention; no internal priority resolution |
Pinout & Package
Package: 52-pin Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (PLCC), JEDEC MS-026AC compliant, lead-free (Pb-free) variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CEL / CER | Chip Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low enable per port; controls power-down state and output Z-mode independently |
| R/WL / R/WR | Read/Write Control (Left/Right) | Low = write, high = read; determines data direction on I/O bus for respective port |
| OEL / OER | Output Enable (Left/Right) | Active-low; enables tristate output drivers - required to avoid bus contention when sharing data lines |
| A0L–A9L / A0R–A9R | Address Inputs (Left/Right) | 10-bit address bus per port; selects one of 1024 memory locations independently |
| I/O0L–I/O7L / I/O0R–I/O7R | Data Bus (Left/Right) | 8-bit bidirectional data path per port; supports simultaneous read/write across ports |
| BUSY | Arbitration Input | Open-drain input requiring external pull-up; signals active contention from master device |
| INTL / INTR | Interrupt Flag Output | Active-high open-drain outputs; indicate write to dedicated interrupt address (3FFH/3FEH) |
| VCC / GND | Power Supply | Single 5 V supply with dedicated ground plane; decoupling capacitors required at each VCC pin |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| True Dual-Port Architecture | Enables concurrent, independent access to same or different memory locations - critical for real-time inter-processor data exchange |
| Slave-Only BUSY Interface | Accepts external BUSY signal from master (e.g., CY7C131); eliminates need for internal arbitration logic and reduces latency overhead |
| Dedicated INT Flag Generation | Automatically asserts INTL/INTR on write to fixed addresses (3FFH/3FEH), enabling hardware-triggered inter-port notifications without polling |
| Per-Port Power Management | Individual CE control allows selective port shutdown - reduces dynamic current by up to 65% when one port is idle |
| Industrial Temperature Support | Guaranteed 25 ns access time across –40°C to +85°C ambient - suitable for ruggedized control and instrumentation systems |
Applications
| DSP Cache Memory | Multi-Processor Shared Buffer |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Real-time digital signal processing where two processors (e.g., host CPU and DSP core) require low-latency access to common coefficient or sample buffers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Slave dual-port RAM providing synchronized, contention-managed data exchange without software arbitration overhead. Use Value: Eliminates bus turnaround delays and lock-step synchronization, enabling deterministic 25 ns read/write cycles for time-critical filtering or FFT operations. |
Use Scenario: Industrial PLC backplane with separate control and monitoring CPUs sharing status registers and I/O image tables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Shared memory node with BUSY-driven arbitration ensuring atomic updates to critical process variables. Use Value: Prevents race conditions during concurrent read-modify-write sequences, maintaining data integrity without firmware-level semaphores. |
| Bit-Slice Processor Interconnect | Legacy System Bus Expansion |
|
Use Scenario: Modular bit-slice architecture (e.g., AMD 2900 family) where multiple ALUs share operand and result memory. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Slave memory block extending native word width beyond 8 bits using CY7C131 master coordination. Use Value: Enables 16-bit or wider data paths without custom glue logic - reduces PCB layer count and timing closure complexity. |
Use Scenario: Retrofitting legacy 8-bit microcontroller systems with additional memory-mapped peripherals or firmware overlays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Asynchronous dual-port interface bridging slow legacy bus to faster co-processor or DMA engine. Use Value: Provides zero-wait-state memory access for burst transfers while maintaining compatibility with existing 8-bit address/data multiplexing 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CY7C141-25JXC | Same die, non-Pb-free PLCC package - lacks RoHS-compliant finish and may not meet modern environmental compliance requirements | Identical functionality and timing; restricted to legacy or non-regulated markets | Select only if Pb-free certification is not required and cost sensitivity outweighs regulatory risk |
| IDT71V256SA25YG | 3.3 V, 256K × 16 sync dual-port SRAM - incompatible voltage, larger density, synchronous interface, no BUSY/INT arbitration signals | Requires level-shifting, clock domain management, and software arbitration - unsuitable as drop-in replacement | Consider only for greenfield 3.3 V designs needing higher density and accepting added design complexity |
Compared with CY7C141-25JXC, the JXCT variant adds Pb-free compliance without performance trade-offs; versus IDT71V256SA25YG, it retains 5 V compatibility, asynchronous operation, and hardware arbitration - preserving legacy system integrity and reducing firmware overhead.

FAQ
Is CY7C141-25JXCT pin-compatible with CY7C140-25JXCT?
No. CY7C141-25JXCT uses a 52-pin PLCC package, while CY7C140-25JXCT is specified in a 48-pin DIP package. The pin counts, physical dimensions, and land patterns are incompatible. Migration requires PCB redesign and layout revision.
Can CY7C141-25JXCT operate as a standalone dual-port RAM without a master device?
No. CY7C141 is designed exclusively as a slave device: its BUSY pin is an input only, and it lacks internal arbitration logic. It must be paired with a master dual-port RAM (e.g., CY7C131) to manage port contention and generate BUSY signals.
What is the function of the INTL and INTR pins, and how are they triggered?
INTL and INTR are open-drain interrupt outputs that assert high when a write occurs to dedicated addresses: 3FFH (left port) and 3FEH (right port). These pins enable hardware-level inter-port signaling without polling, supporting event-driven synchronization in real-time systems.
Does CY7C141-25JXCT support 3.3 V operation?
No. The device is specified only for 5 V ±10% (4.5–5.5 V) operation. Applying 3.3 V violates the absolute maximum rating and will result in undefined behavior, failed reads/writes, or permanent damage due to insufficient gate overdrive in the 0.65 µm CMOS process.
