Product details
Overview
CY7C146-25JXCT from Cypress Semiconductor is a 2K × 8 dual-port static RAM configured as a slave device in master–slave memory expansion systems, supporting 16-bit+ data bus width scaling with CY7C136/CY7C136A masters. It features true dual-port asynchronous operation, 25 ns maximum access time, BUSY input for arbitration, and operates at 5 V ±10% over industrial temperature (–40 °C to +85 °C). Used in multiprocessor cache buffers and DSP shared-memory subsystems.
For engineers reviewing the CY7C146-25JXCT datasheet, CY7C146-25JXCT pinout, CY7C146-25JXCT application, or CY7C146-25JXCT equivalent, key selection criteria include BUSY-input arbitration compatibility, 52-pin PLCC/PQFP package fit, 25 ns timing compliance, and low-power standby current (35 mA max) in industrial environments.
Technical Context
The CY7C146-25JXCT implements fully independent left/right port control logic with separate CE, R/W, and OE pins per port, enabling concurrent read/write operations on distinct addresses without contention. Its BUSY input synchronizes with the master's open-drain BUSY output to stall port access during address collisions.
It supports automatic power-down per port via CE assertion and includes interrupt flag (INT) handling on 52-pin packages-INT acts as a port-to-port communication signal triggered by writes to dedicated locations (7FFH left, 7FEH right). The device uses 0.65 µm CMOS process for optimized speed–power tradeoff.

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 |
|---|---|---|
| VCC (Pin 48) | Power supply | +5 V core and I/O supply; bypassing required near pin for noise immunity |
| GND (Pin 24) | Ground reference | Common return path for all ports; must be low-impedance for signal integrity |
| CEL, CER | Chip enable (left/right) | Active-low per-port enable; controls power-down and memory selection independently |
| R/WL, R/WR | Read/write control (left/right) | High = read, low = write; determines direction of data flow on I/O pins |
| OEL, OER | Output enable (left/right) | Active-low; places I/O pins in high-impedance state when deasserted |
| A0L–A10L, A0R–A10R | Address inputs (left/right) | 11-bit address bus per port; selects one of 2K locations (000H–7FFH) |
| I/O0L–I/O7L, I/O0R–I/O7R | Data I/O (left/right) | Bidirectional 8-bit data bus per port; shares pins for read and write |
| BUSYL, BUSYR | BUSY input (left/right) | Active-low arbitration input; driven by master's open-drain BUSY output with pull-up |
| INTL, INTR | Interrupt flag (left/right) | Open-drain output; signals inter-port event (e.g., write to 7FFH/7FEH); requires pull-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-port SRAM applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| IDT70V25L25PF | 3.3 V supply, 25 ns access, 2K × 8, but lacks BUSY input and master–slave expansion capability | Requires level-shifting and external arbitration logic for 5 V systems; not drop-in compatible with CY7C136-based designs | Select only if migrating to 3.3 V infrastructure and redesigning arbitration layer |
| ISSI IS61LV25616AL-25TQLI | 256K × 16 organization, 3.3 V, no BUSY/INT pins; asynchronous dual-port but no hardware arbitration support | Higher density but incompatible pinout and voltage; cannot replace CY7C146 in existing master–slave topologies | Consider for greenfield 3.3 V designs requiring larger memory, not for CY7C132/136 legacy upgrades |
Compared with IDT70V25L25PF and IS61LV25616AL-25TQLI, CY7C146-25JXCT uniquely delivers 5 V-compatible BUSY-input arbitration and seamless integration with CY7C136 masters-enabling cost-effective, low-risk expansion of legacy 8-bit dual-port systems without redesigning control logic or power delivery.

FAQ
Is CY7C146-25JXCT pin-compatible with CY7C142-25JXCT?
Yes-CY7C146-25JXCT and CY7C142-25JXCT share identical 52-pin PLCC pinouts, electrical specifications, and functional behavior. Both are slave dual-port SRAMs with BUSY input and INT output. The primary distinction is that CY7C146 includes enhanced interrupt logic per the datasheet revision history, but pin-level replacement is fully supported.
Does CY7C146-25JXCT support 3.3 V operation?
No-CY7C146-25JXCT is specified only for 5 V ±10% operation (4.5 V to 5.5 V). Its input thresholds (VIH = 2.2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and output drive strength are optimized for TTL/5 V CMOS logic families. Operating below 4.5 V may cause timing violations or data retention failure.
What is the function of the BUSY pin on CY7C146-25JXCT?
BUSY is an active-low input used exclusively for hardware arbitration. When asserted by a master device (e.g., CY7C136), it forces the CY7C146 to stall its current access cycle until BUSY deasserts-preventing simultaneous writes to the same address. It requires an external pull-up resistor and is not internally driven.
Can CY7C146-25JXCT operate without a master device?
Yes-it functions as a standalone 2K × 8 dual-port SRAM with full read/write capability on both ports. However, BUSY arbitration and INT-based inter-port signaling require connection to a compatible master (CY7C136/CY7C136A) or external logic; standalone use omits those features but retains all basic memory functionality.
