DESCRIPTION:
The IDT70V05 is a high-speed 8K x 8 Dual-Port Static
RAM. The IDT70V05 is designed to be used as a stand-alone
Dual-Port RAM or as a combination MASTER/SLAVE DualPort RAM for 16-bit-or-more word systems. Using the IDT
MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port RAM approach in 16-bit or wider
memory system applications results in full-speed, error-free

operation without the need for additional discrete logic.
This device provides two independent ports with separate
control, address, and I/O pins that permit independent,
asynchronous access for reads or writes to any location in
memory. An automatic power down feature controlled by CE
permits the on-chip circuitry of each port to enter a very low
standby power mode.
Fabricated using IDT’s CMOS high-performance technology, these devices typically operate on only 350mW of power.
Low-power (L) versions offer battery backup data retention
capability with typical power consumption of 500µW from a 2V
battery.
The IDT70V05 is packaged in a ceramic 68-pin PGA, a 68pin PLCC, and a 64-pin thin plastic quad flatpack (TQFP).

1. Transition is measured ±200mV from Low or High-impedance voltage with Output Test Load (Figure 2).
2. This parameter is guaranteed by device characterization but not production tested.
3. To access RAM, CE = VIL, SEM = VIH. To access semaphore, CE = VIH and SEM = VIL. Either condition must be valid for the entire tEW time.
4. The specification for tDH must be met by the device supplying write data to the RAM under all operating conditions. Although tDH and tOW values will vary
over voltage and temperature, the actual tDH will always be smaller than the actual tOW.
5. "X" in part numbers indicates power rating (S or L).

1. R/W or CE must be HIGH during all address transitions.
2. A write occurs during the overlap (tEW or tWP) of a LOW CE and a LOW R/W for memory array writing cycle.
3. tWR is measured from the earlier of CE or R/W (or SEM or R/W) going HIGH to the end of write cycle.
4. During this period, the I/O pins are in the output state and input signals must not be applied.
5. If the CE or SEM LOW transition occurs simultaneously with or after the R/W LOW transition, the outputs remain in the High-impedance state.
6. Timing depends on which enable signal is asserted last, CE, or R/W.
7. Timing depends on which enable signal is de-asserted first, CE, or R/W.
8. If OE is LOW during R/W controlled write cycle, the write pulse width must be the larger of tWP or (tWZ + tDW) to allow the I/O drivers to turn off and data
to be placed on the bus for the required tDW. If OE is HIGH during an R/W controlled write cycle, this requirement does not apply and the write pulse can
be as short as the specified tWP.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The IDT70V05 provides two ports with separate control,
address and I/O pins that permit independent access for reads
or writes to any location in memory. The IDT70V05 has an
automatic power down feature controlled by CE. The CE
controls on-chip power down circuitry that permits the
respective port to go into a standby mode when not selected
(CE HIGH). When a port is enabled, access to the entire
memory array is permitted.
INTERRUPTS
If the user chooses to use the interrupt function, a memory
location (mail box or message center) is assigned to each port.
The left port interrupt flag (INTL) is set when the right port
writes to memory location 1FFE (HEX). The left port clears the
interrupt by reading address location 1FFE. Likewise, the
right port interrupt flag (INTR) is set when the left port writes to
memory location 1FFF (HEX) and to clear the interrupt flag
(INTR), the right port must read the memory location 1FFF.
The message (8 bits) at 1FFE or 1FFF is user-defined. If the
interrupt function is not used, address locations 1FFE and
1FFF are not used as mail boxes, but as part of the random
access memory. Refer to Truth Table for the interrupt operation.
BUSY LOGIC
Busy Logic provides a hardware indication that both ports
of the RAM have accessed the same location at the same
time. It also allows one of the two accesses to proceed and
signals the other side that the RAM is “Busy”. The busy pin can
then be used to stall the access until the operation on the other
side is completed. If a write operation has been attempted
from the side that receives a busy indication, the write signal
is gated internally to prevent the write from proceeding.
The use of busy logic is not required or desirable for all
applications. In some cases it may be useful to logically OR
the busy outputs together and use any busy indication as an

interrupt source to flag the event of an illegal or illogical
operation. If the write inhibit function of busy logic is not
desirable, the busy logic can be disabled by placing the part
in slave mode with the M/S pin. Once in slave mode the BUSY
pin operates solely as a write inhibit input pin. Normal operation can be programmed by tying the BUSY pins high. If
desired, unintended write operations can be prevented to a
port by tying the busy pin for that port low.
The busy outputs on the IDT 70V05 RAM in master mode,
are push-pull type outputs and do not require pull up resistors
to operate. If these RAMs are being expanded in depth, then
the busy indication for the resulting array requires the use of
an external AND gate.
WIDTH EXPANSION WITH BUSY LOGIC
MASTER/SLAVE ARRAYS
When expanding an IDT70V05 RAM array in width while
using busy logic, one master part is used to decide which side
of the RAM array will receive a busy indication, and to output
that indication. Any number of slaves to be addressed in the
same address range as the master, use the busy signal as a
write inhibit signal. Thus on the IDT70V05 RAM the busy pin
is an output if the part is used as a master (M/S pin = H), and
the busy pin is an input if the part used as a slave (M/S pin =
L) as shown in Figure 3.
If two or more master parts were used when expanding in
width, a split decision could result with one master indicating
busy on one side of the array and another master indicating
busy on one other side of the array. This would inhibit the write
operations from one port for part of a word and inhibit the write
operations from the other port for the other part of the word.
The busy arbitration, on a master, is based on the chip
enable and address signals only. It ignores whether an access
is a read or write. In a master/slave array, both address and
chip enable must be valid long enough for a busy flag to be
output from the master before the actual write pulse can be
initiated with the R/W signal. Failure to observe this timing can
result in a glitched internal write inhibit signal and corrupted
SEMAPHORES
The IDT70V05 is an extremely fast Dual-Port 8K x 8 CMOS
Static RAM with an additional 8 address locations dedicated
to binary semaphore flags. These flags allow either processor
on the left or right side of the Dual-Port RAM to claim a
privilege over the other processor for functions defined by the
system designer’s software. As an example, the semaphore
can be used by one processor to inhibit the other from
accessing a portion of the Dual-Port RAM or any other shared
resource.
The Dual-Port RAM features a fast access time, and both
ports are completely independent of each other. This means
that the activity on the left port in no way slows the access time
of the right port. Both ports are identical in function to standard
CMOS Static RAM and can be read from, or written to, at the
same time with the only possible conflict arising from the
simultaneous writing of, or a simultaneous READ/WRITE of,
a non-semaphore location. Semaphores are protected against
such ambiguous situations and may be used by the system
program to avoid any conflicts in the non-semaphore portion
of the Dual-Port RAM. These devices have an automatic
power-down feature controlled by CE, the Dual-Port RAM
enable, and SEM, the semaphore enable. The CE and SEM
pins control on-chip power down circuitry that permits the
respective port to go into standby mode when not selected.
This is the condition which is shown in Truth Table where CE
and SEM are both high.
Systems which can best use the IDT70V05 contain multiple processors or controllers and are typically very highspeed systems which are software controlled or software
intensive. These systems can benefit from a performance
increase offered by the IDT70V05's hardware semaphores,
which provide a lockout mechanism without requiring complex programming.
Software handshaking between processors offers the
maximum in system flexibility by permitting shared resources
to be allocated in varying configurations. The IDT70V05 does
not use its semaphore flags to control any resources through
6.35

COMMERCIAL TEMPERATURE RANGE
hardware, thus allowing the system designer total flexibility in
system architecture.
An advantage of using semaphores rather than the more
common methods of hardware arbitration is that wait states
are never incurred in either processor. This can prove to be
a major advantage in very high-speed systems.
HOW THE SEMAPHORE FLAGS WORK
The semaphore logic is a set of eight latches which are
independent of the Dual-Port RAM. These latches can be
used to pass a flag, or token, from one port to the other to
indicate that a shared resource is in use. The semaphores
provide a hardware assist for a use assignment method called
“Token Passing Allocation.” In this method, the state of a
semaphore latch is used as a token indicating that shared
resource is in use. If the left processor wants to use this
resource, it requests the token by setting the latch. This
processor then verifies its success in setting the latch by
reading it. If it was successful, it proceeds to assume control
over the shared resource. If it was not successful in setting the
latch, it determines that the right side processor has set the
latch first, has the token and is using the shared resource. The
left processor can then either repeatedly request that
semaphore’s status or remove its request for that semaphore
to perform another task and occasionally attempt again to
gain control of the token via the set and test sequence. Once
the right side has relinquished the token, the left side should
succeed in gaining control.
The semaphore flags are active low. A token is requested
by writing a zero into a semaphore latch and is released when
the same side writes a one to that latch.
The eight semaphore flags reside within the IDT70V05 in
a separate memory space from the Dual-Port RAM. This
address space is accessed by placing a low input on the SEM
pin (which acts as a chip select for the semaphore flags) and
using the other control pins (Address, OE, and R/W) as they
would be used in accessing a standard Static RAM. Each of
the flags has a unique address which can be accessed by
either side through address pins A0 – A2. When accessing the
semaphores, none of the other address pins has any effect.
When writing to a semaphore, only data pin D0 is used. If
a low level is written into an unused semaphore location, that
flag will be set to a zero on that side and a one on the other side
(see Table III). That semaphore can now only be modified by
the side showing the zero. When a one is written into the same
location from the same side, the flag will be set to a one for both
sides (unless a semaphore request from the other side is
pending) and then can be written to by both sides. The fact
that the side which is able to write a zero into a semaphore
subsequently locks out writes from the other side is what
makes semaphore flags useful in interprocessor communications. (A thorough discussing on the use of this feature follows
shortly.) A zero written into the same location from the other
side will be stored in the semaphore request latch for that side
until the semaphore is freed by the first side.
When a semaphore flag is read, its value is spread into all
data bits so that a flag that is a one reads as a one in all data
bits and a flag containing a zero reads as all zeros. The read
value is latched into one side’s output register when that side's
semaphore select (SEM) and output enable (OE) signals go
active. This serves to disallow the semaphore from changing
state in the middle of a read cycle due to a write cycle from the
other side. Because of this latch, a repeated read of a
semaphore in a test loop must cause either signal (SEM or OE)
to go inactive or the output will never change.
A sequence WRITE/READ must be used by the semaphore in order to guarantee that no system level contention
will occur. A processor requests access to shared resources
by attempting to write a zero into a semaphore location. If the
semaphore is already in use, the semaphore request latch will
contain a zero, yet the semaphore flag will appear as one, a
fact which the processor will verify by the subsequent read
(see Table III). As an example, assume a processor writes a
zero to the left port at a free semaphore location. On a
subsequent read, the processor will verify that it has written
successfully to that location and will assume control over the
resource in question. Meanwhile, if a processor on the right
side attempts to write a zero to the same semaphore flag it will
fail, as will be verified by the fact that a one will be read from
that semaphore on the right side during subsequent read.
Had a sequence of READ/WRITE been used instead, system
contention problems could have occurred during the gap
between the read and write cycles.
It is important to note that a failed semaphore request must
be followed by either repeated reads or by writing a one into
the same location. The reason for this is easily understood by
looking at the simple logic diagram of the semaphore flag in
Figure 4. Two semaphore request latches feed into a semaphore flag. Whichever latch is first to present a zero to the
semaphore flag will force its side of the semaphore flag low
and the other side high. This condition will continue until a one
is written to the same semaphore request latch. Should the
other side’s semaphore request latch have been written to a
zero in the meantime, the semaphore flag will flip over to the
other side as soon as a one is written into the first side’s
request latch. The second side’s flag will now stay low until its
semaphore request latch is written to a one. From this it is
easy to understand that, if a semaphore is requested and the
processor which requested it no longer needs the resource,
the entire system can hang up until a one is written into that
semaphore request latch.
The critical case of semaphore timing is when both sides
request a single token by attempting to write a zero into it at
the same time. The semaphore logic is specially designed to
resolve this problem. If simultaneous requests are made, the
logic guarantees that only one side receives the token. If one
side is earlier than the other in making the request, the first
side to make the request will receive the token. If both
requests arrive at the same time, the assignment will be
arbitrarily made to one port or the other.
One caution that should be noted when using semaphores
is that semaphores alone do not guarantee that access to a
resource is secure. As with any powerful programming technique, if semaphores are misused or misinterpreted, a soft-

ware error can easily happen.
Initialization of the semaphores is not automatic and must
be handled via the initialization program at power-up. Since
any semaphore request flag which contains a zero must be
reset to a one, all semaphores on both sides should have a
one written into them at initialization from both sides to assure
that they will be free when needed.
USING SEMAPHORES—SOME EXAMPLES
Perhaps the simplest application of semaphores is their
application as resource markers for the IDT70V05’s Dual-Port
RAM. Say the 8K x 8 RAM was to be divided into two 4K x 8
blocks which were to be dedicated at any one time to servicing
either the left or right port. Semaphore 0 could be used to
indicate the side which would control the lower section of
memory, and Semaphore 1 could be defined as the indicator
for the upper section of memory.
To take a resource, in this example the lower 4K of
Dual-Port RAM, the processor on the left port could write and
then read a zero in to Semaphore 0. If this task were successfully completed (a zero was read back rather than a one), the
left processor would assume control of the lower 4K. Meanwhile the right processor was attempting to gain control of the
resource after the left processor, it would read back a one in
response to the zero it had attempted to write into Semaphore
0. At this point, the software could choose to try and gain
control of the second 4K section by writing, then reading a zero
into Semaphore 1. If it succeeded in gaining control, it would
lock out the left side.
Once the left side was finished with its task, it would write
a one to Semaphore 0 and may then try to gain access to
Semaphore 1. If Semaphore 1 was still occupied by the right
side, the left side could undo its semaphore request and
perform other tasks until it was able to write, then read a zero
into Semaphore 1. If the right processor performs a similar
task with Semaphore 0, this protocol would allow the two
processors to swap 4K blocks of Dual-Port RAM with each
other.
The blocks do not have to be any particular size and can
even be variable, depending upon the complexity of the
software using the semaphore flags. All eight semaphores
could be used to divide the Dual-Port RAM or other shared
resources into eight parts. Semaphores can even be assigned different meanings on different sides rather than being
given a common meaning as was shown in the example
above.
Semaphores are a useful form of arbitration in systems like
disk interfaces where the CPU must be locked out of a section
of memory during a transfer and the I/O device cannot tolerate
any wait states. With the use of semaphores, once the two
devices has determined which memory area was “off-limits” to
the CPU, both the CPU and the I/O devices could access their
assigned portions of memory continuously without any wait
states.
Semaphores are also useful in applications where no
memory “WAIT” state is available on one or both sides. Once
a semaphore handshake has been performed, both processors can access their assigned RAM segments at full speed.
Another application is in the area of complex data structures. In this case, block arbitration is very important. For this
application one processor may be responsible for building and
updating a data structure. The other processor then reads
and interprets that data structure. If the interpreting processor
reads an incomplete data structure, a major error condition
may exist. Therefore, some sort of arbitration must be used
between the two different processors. The building processor
arbitrates for the block, locks it and then is able to go in and
update the data structure. When the update is completed, the
data structure block is released. This allows the interpreting
processor to come back and read the complete data structure,
thereby guaranteeing a consistent data structure.
