IDT7038L
High-Speed 64K x 18 Dual-Port Static RAM
Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges
Description
The IDT7038 is a high-speed 64K x 18 Dual-Port Static RAM. The
IDT7038 is designed to be used as a stand-alone 1152K-bit Dual-Port
RAM or as a combination MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port RAM for 36-bit-ormore word systems. Using the IDT MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port RAM
approach in 36-bit or wider memory system applications results in fullspeed, 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 the chip enables (CE0 and CE1) permit 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 only1W of power.
The IDT7038 is packaged in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP).

NOTES:
1. Transition is measured 0mV from Low or High-impedance voltage with Output Test Load (Figure 2).
2. This parameter is guaranted by device characterization, but is not production tested.
3. To access RAM, CE= VIL and 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 t DH and tOW values will vary over voltage
and temperature, the actual tDH will always be smaller than the actual tOW.
5. Industrial Temperature: for specific speeds, packages and powers contact your sales office.

NOTES:
1. R/W or CE or UB and LB = VIH during all address transitions.
2. A write occurs during the overlap (tEW or tWP ) of a CE = VIL and a R/W = VIL 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 = VIL transition occurs simultaneously with or after the R/W = V IL transition, the outputs remain in the High-impedance state.
6. Timing depends on which enable signal is asserted last, CE or R/W.
7. This parameter is guaranteed by device characterization, but is not production tested. Transition is measured 0mV from steady state with the Output Test Load
(Figure 2).
8. If OE = VIL 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 = VIH 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.
10. Refer to Chip Enable Truth Table.

Functional Description
The IDT7038 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 IDT7038 has an automatic power down feature controlled
by CE. The CE0 and CE1 control the 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 FFFE
(HEX), where a write is defined as CER = R/WR = VIL per Truth Table
IV. The left port clears the interrupt through access of address location
FFFE when CEL = OEL = 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 FFFF (HEX) and to clear the interrupt flag (INTR), the right port
must read the memory location FFFF. The message (18 bits) at FFFE
or FFFF is user-defined since it is an addressable SRAM location. If the
interrupt function is not used, address locations FFFE and FFFF are not
used as mail boxes, but as part of the random access memory. Refer to
Table IV 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 IDT7038 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.

expansion with IDT7038 RAMs.
Width Expansion Busy Logic
Master/Slave Arrays
When expanding an IDT7038 RAM array in width while using BUSY
logic, one master part is used to decide which side of the RAMs 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 IDT7038 RAM the
BUSY pin is an output if the part is used as a master (M/S pin = VIH), and
the BUSY pin is an input if the part used as a slave (M/S pin = VIL) 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 IDT7038 is an extremely fast Dual-Port 64K x 18 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 DualPort 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 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 II where CE and SEM are both HIGH.
Systems which can best use the IDT7038 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 per-formance increase offered by the IDT7038s 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 IDT7038 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 perform
another task and occasionally attempt again to gain control of the token via
15
6.42
IDT7038L
High-Speed 64K x 18 Dual-Port Static RAM
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 IDT7038 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, CE, 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 VI). 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 discussion 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
VI). 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
Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges
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.
