Two flags are provided on each port (BUSY and INT). BUSY signals that the port is trying to access the same location currently being accessed by the other port. The Interrupt flag (INT) permits communication between ports or systems by means of a mail box. The semaphores are used to pass a flag, or token, from one port to the other to indicate that a shared resource is in use. The semaphore logic is comprised of eight shared latches. Only one side can control the latch (semaphore) at any time. Control of a semaphore indicates that a shared resource is in use. An automatic power-down feature is controlled independently on each port by the chip enable pin. The CY7C026A and CY7C036A are low-power CMOS 16K x 16/18 dual-port static RAMs. Various arbitration schemes are included on the devices to handle situations when multiple processors access the same piece of data. Two ports are provided, permitting independent, asynchronous access for reads and writes to any location in memory. The devices can be utilized as standalone 16/18-bit dual-port static RAMs or multiple devices can be combined in order to function as a 32/36-bit or wider master/slave dual-port static RAM. An M/S pin is provided for implementing 32/36-bit or wider memory applications without the need for separate master and slave devices or additional discrete logic. Application areas include interprocessor/multiprocessor designs, communications status buffering, and dual-port video/graphics memory. The CY7C026A and CY7C036A are available in 100-pin Thin Quad Plastic Flatpack (TQFP) packages.

If OE is LOW during a R/W controlled write cycle, the write pulse width must be the larger of tPWE or (tHZWE + tSD) to allow the I/O drivers to turn off and data to be placed on the bus for the required tSD.

Document #: 38-06046 Rev. *A Page 14 of 18 CY7C026A CY7C036A Architecture The CY7C026A and CY7C036A consist of an array of 16K words of 16 and 18 bits each of dual-port RAM cells, I/O and address lines, and control signals (CE, OE, R/W). These control pins permit independent access for reads or writes to any location in memory. To handle simultaneous writes/reads to the same location, a BUSY pin is provided on each port. Two Interrupt (INT) pins can be utilized for port-to-port communication. Two Semaphore (SEM) control pins are used for allocating shared resources. With the M/S pin, the devices can function as a master (BUSY pins are outputs) or as a slave (BUSY pins are inputs). The devices also have an automatic powerdown feature controlled by CE. Each port is provided with its own Output Enable control (OE), which allows data to be read from the device. within tPS of each other, the busy logic will determine which port has access. If tPS is violated, one port will definitely gain permission to the location, but it is not predictable which port will get that permission. BUSY will be asserted tBLA after an address match or tBLC after CE is taken LOW. Master/Slave Functional Description A M/S pin is provided in order to expand the word width by configuring the device as either a master or a slave. The BUSY output of the master is connected to the BUSY input of the slave. This will allow the device to interface to a master device with no external components. Writing to slave devices must be delayed until after the BUSY input has settled (tBLC or tBLA), otherwise, the slave chip may begin a write cycle during a contention situation. When tied HIGH, the M/S pin allows the device to be used as a master and, therefore, the BUSY line is an output. BUSY can then be used to send the arbitration outcome to a slave. Write Operation Semaphore Operation Data must be set up for a duration of tSD before the rising edge of R/W in order to guarantee a valid write. A write operation is controlled by either the R/W pin (see Write Cycle No. 1 waveform) or the CE pin (see Write Cycle No. 2 waveform). Required inputs for non-contention operations are summarized in Table 1. The CY7C026A and CY7C036A provide eight semaphore latches, which are separate from the dual-port memory locations. Semaphores are used to reserve resources that are shared between the two ports. The state of the semaphore indicates that a resource is in use. For example, if the left port wants to request a given resource, it sets a latch by writing a zero to a semaphore location. The left port then verifies its success in setting the latch by reading it. After writing to the semaphore, SEM or OE must be deasserted for tSOP before attempting to read the semaphore. The semaphore value will be available tSWRD + tDOE after the rising edge of the semaphore write. If the left port was successful (reads a zero), it assumes control of the shared resource, otherwise (reads a one) it assumes the right port has control and continues to poll the semaphore. When the right side has relinquished control of the semaphore (by writing a one), the left side will succeed in gaining control of the semaphore. If the left side no longer requires the semaphore, a one is written to cancel its request. If a location is being written to by one port and the opposite port attempts to read that location, a port-to-port flowthrough delay must occur before the data is read on the output; otherwise the data read is not deterministic. Data will be valid on the port tDDD after the data is presented on the other port. Read Operation When reading the device, the user must assert both the OE and CE pins. Data will be available tACE after CE or tDOE after OE is asserted. If the user wishes to access a semaphore flag, then the SEM pin must be asserted instead of the CE pin, and OE must also be asserted. Interrupts The upper two memory locations may be used for message passing. The highest memory location (3FFF) is the mailbox for the right port and the second-highest memory location (3FFE) is the mailbox for the left port. When one port writes to the other port’s mailbox, an interrupt is generated to the owner. The interrupt is reset when the owner reads the contents of the mailbox. The message is user defined. Each port can read the other port’s mailbox without resetting the interrupt. The active state of the busy signal (to a port) prevents the port from setting the interrupt to the winning port. Also, an active busy to a port prevents that port from reading its own mailbox and, thus, resetting the interrupt to it. If an application does not require message passing, do not connect the interrupt pin to the processor’s interrupt request input pin. The operation of the interrupts and their interaction with Busy are summarized in Table 2. Busy The CY7C026A and CY7C036A provide on-chip arbitration to resolve simultaneous memory location access (contention). If both ports’ CEs are asserted and an address match occurs Document #: 38-06046 Rev. *A Semaphores are accessed by asserting SEM LOW. The SEM pin functions as a chip select for the semaphore latches (CE must remain HIGH during SEM LOW). A0–2 represents the semaphore address. OE and R/W are used in the same manner as a normal memory access. When writing or reading a semaphore, the other address pins have no effect. When writing to the semaphore, only I/O0 is used. If a zero is written to the left port of an available semaphore, a one will appear at the same semaphore address on the right port. That semaphore can now only be modified by the side showing zero (the left port in this case). If the left port now relinquishes control by writing a one to the semaphore, the semaphore will be set to one for both sides. However, if the right port had requested the semaphore (written a zero) while the left port had control, the right port would immediately own the semaphore as soon as the left port released it. Table 3 shows sample semaphore operations. When reading a semaphore, all sixteen/eighteen data lines output the semaphore value. The read value is latched in an output register to prevent the semaphore from changing state during a write from the other port. If both ports attempt to access the semaphore within tSPS of each other, the semaphore will definitely be obtained by one side or the other, but there is no guarantee which side will control the semaphore.
