DSC-5643/1 IDT70V17L High-Speed 3.3V 32K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM Preliminary Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges Description The IDT70V17 is a high-speed 32K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM. The IDT70V17 is designed to be used as a stand-alone 288K-bit Dual-Port RAM or as a combination MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port RAM for 18-bitor-more word system. Using the IDT MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port RAM approach in 18-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 (either CE0 or 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 only 440mW of power. The IDT70V17 is packaged in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flatpack (TQFP).

R/W or CE = V IH 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 = VIL 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 + t DW) 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.

This table denotes a sequence of events for only one of the eight semaphores on the IDT70V17. 2. There are eight semaphore flags written to via I/O0 and read from all I/O's (I/O0-I/O8). These eight semaphores are addressed by A0 - A2. 3. CE = VIH, SEM = V IL to access the semaphores. Refer to the Semaphore Read/Write Control Truth Table. Functional Description The IDT70V17 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 IDT70V17 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 = VIH). 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 7FFE 14 (HEX), where a write is defined as CER = R/WR = VIL per the Truth Table. The left port clears the interrupt through access of address location 7FFE 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 7FFF (HEX) and to clear the interrupt flag (INTR), the right port must read the memory location 7FFF. The message (9 bits) at 7FFE or 7FFF is userdefined since it is an addressable SRAM location. If the interrupt function is not used, address locations 7FFE and 7FFF are not used as mail boxes, but as part of the random access memory. Refer to Truth Table IV for the interrupt operation. IDT70V17L High-Speed 3.3V 32K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM Preliminary Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges Busy Logic 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. 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 IDT70V17 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.

Busy and chip enable routing for both width and depth expansion with IDT70V17 RAMs. Width Expansion with Busy Logic Master/Slave Arrays When expanding an IDT70V17 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 IDT70V17 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 The IDT70V17 is an extremely fast Dual-Port 32K x 9 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, with both ports being 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 III where CE and SEM are both HIGH. Systems which can best use the IDT70V17 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 IDT70V17s 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 IDT70V17 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 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 a 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 15 IDT70V17L High-Speed 3.3V 32K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM Preliminary Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges 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 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 IDT70V17 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 Truth 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 L PORT R PORT SEMAPHORE REQUEST FLIP FLOP D0 WRITE D Q SEMAPHORE REQUEST FLIP FLOP Q SEMAPHORE READ D D0 WRITE SEMAPHORE READ Figure 4. IDT70V17 Semaphore Logic 5643 drw 18 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. 16 IDT70V17L High-Speed 3.3V 32K x 9 Dual-Port Static RAM Preliminary Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges Ordering Information IDT XXXXX Device Type A 999 A A Power Speed Package Process/ Temperature Range Blank I Commercial (0C to +70C) Industrial (-40C to +85C) PF 100-pin TQFP (PN100-1) 15 20 Commercial Only Commercial & Industrial L Low Power 70V17 288K (32K x 9) Dual-Port RAM Speed in nanoseconds 5643 drw 19 Preliminary Datasheet: "PRELIMINARY' datasheets contain descriptions for products that are in early release.
