DSC 2954/7 IDT7015S/L High-Speed 8K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM Military, Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges Description: The IDT7015 is a high-speed 8K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM. The IDT7015 is designed to be used as a stand-alone Dual-Port RAM or as a combination MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port RAM for 18-bit-or-more word systems. Using the IDT MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port RAM approach in 18bit 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 750mW of power. The IDT7015 is packaged in a ceramic 68-pin PGA, a 64-pin PLCC and an 80-pinTQFP (Thin Quad Flatpack). Military grade product is manufactured in compliance with the latest revision of MIL-PRF38535 QML, making it ideally suited to military temperature applications demanding the highest level of performance and reliability.

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.

Transition is measured 0mV from steady state with the Output Test Load (Figure 2). 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. 9. To access RAM, CE = VIL and SEM = VIH. To access Semaphore, CE = VIH and SEM = VIL. tEW must be met for either condition. 6.42 10 APRIL 04, 2006 IDT7015S/L High-Speed 8K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM Military, Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges Timing Waveform of Semaphore Read after Write Timing, Either Side(1) tOH tSAA A0-A2 VALID ADDRESS VALID ADDRESS tWR tAW tEW SEM tACE tSOP tDW DATAIN VALID I/O tAS tWP DATAOUT VALID(2) tDH R/W tAOE tSWRD OE Read Cycle Write Cycle 2954 drw 11 NOTES: 1.

This table denotes a sequence of events for only one of the eight semaphores on the IDT7015. 2. There are eight semaphore flags written to via I/O0 and read from all I/Os (I/O0 - I/O8). These eight semaphores are addressed by A 0 - A2. 3. CE = VIH, SEM = VIL to access the semaphores. Refer to the Semaphore Read/Write Control Truth Table. 2954 tbl 18 Functional Description The IDT7015 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 IDT7015 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 the interrupt function, a memory location (mail box or message center) is assigned to each port. The left port interrupt flag (INTL) is asserted when the right port writes to memory location 1FFE where a write is defined as the CE = R/W = VIL per Truth Table III. The left port clears the interrupt by an address location 1FFE access when CER =OER =VIL, R/W is a "don't care". Likewise, the right port interrupt flag (INTR) is asserted when the left port writes to memory location 1FFF and to clear the interrupt flag (INTR), the right port must access memory location 1FFF. The message (9 bits) at 1FFE or 1FFF isuser-defined since it is an addressable SRAM location. If the interrupt function is not used, address locations 1FFE and 1FFF are not used as mail boxes but are still part of the random access memory. Refer to Table III for the interrupt operation. 6.42 16 APRIL 04, 2006 IDT7015S/L High-Speed 8K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM Military, Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges 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 IDT7015 RAM in master mode, are pushpull 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 IDT7015 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 IDT7015 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 data in the slave. Semaphores The IDT7015 are extremely fast Dual-Port 8Kx9 Static RAMs 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 DualPort 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 BUSY (L) CE MASTER Dual Port RAM BUSY (L) BUSY (R) CE SLAVE Dual Port RAM BUSY (L) BUSY (R) MASTER CE Dual Port RAM BUSY (L) BUSY (R) SLAVE CE Dual Port RAM BUSY (L) BUSY (R) DECODER Busy Logic BUSY (R) 2954 drw 19 Figure 3. Busy and chip enable routing for both width and depth expansion with IDT7015 RAMs. 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 nonsemaphore 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 I where CE and SEM are both HIGH. Systems which can best use the IDT7015 contain multiple processors or controllers and are typically very HIGH-speed systems which are software controlled or software intensive. These systems can benefit from a performance increase offered by the IDT7015'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 IDT7015 does not use its semaphore flags to control any resources through 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 highspeed 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 6.42 17 APRIL 04, 2006 IDT7015S/L High-Speed 8K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM Military, Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges 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 IDT7015 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 V). 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 inter processor 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 V). 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 software 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 IDT7015’s Dual-Port RAM. Say the 8K x 9 RAM was to be divided into two 4K x 9 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 6.42 18 APRIL 04, 2006 IDT7015S/L High-Speed 8K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM Military, Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges semaphore flags. All eight semaphores could be used to divide the DualPort 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.
