IDT7006S/L
High-Speed 16K x 8 Dual-Port Static RAM Military, Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges
Description
The IDT7006 is a high-speed 16K x 8 Dual-Port Static RAM. The
IDT7006 is designed to be used as a stand-alone 128K-bit Dual-Port RAM
or as a combination MASTER/SLAVE Dual-Port 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 750mW of power. Low-power (L)
versions offer battery backup data retention capability with typical power
consumption of 500µW from a 2V battery.
The IDT7006 is packaged in a ceramic 68-pin PGA, an 68-pin quad
flatpack, a PLCC, and a 64-pin thin quad flatpack, TQFP. Military grade
product is manufactured in compliance with the latest revision of MIL-PRF-
38535 QML, Class B, making it ideally suited to military temperature
applications demanding the highest level of performance and reliability.

NOTE:
1. There are eight semaphore flags written to via I/O0 and read from I/O0 - I/O7. These eight semaphores are addressed by A0 - A2.
NOTE:
1. A0L – A13L is not equal to A0R – A13R
NOTES:
1. Stresses greater than those listed under ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS may
cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress rating only and
functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those
indicated in the operational sec-tions of this specification is not implied. Exposure
to absolute maxi-mum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
reliability.
2. VTERM must not exceed Vcc + 10% for more than 25% of the cycle time or 10ns
maximum, and is limited to < 20mA for the period of VTERM < Vcc + 10%.
NOTES:
1. This is the parameter TA. This is the "instant on" case temperature.
NOTES:
1. VIL > -1.5V for pulse width less than 10ns.
2. VTERM must not exceed Vcc + 10%.
NOTES:
1. These parameters are determined by device characterization, but are not
production tested (TQFP Package Only).
2 . 3dV references the interpolated capacitance when the input and output signals
switch from 0V to 3V or from 3V to 0V.

1. Timing depends on which signal is asserted last, OE or CE.
2. Timing depends on which signal is de-asserted first CE or OE.
3. tBDD delay is required only in cases where the opposite port is completing a write operation to the same address location. For simultaneous read operations BUSY
has no relation to valid output data.
4. Start of valid data depends on which timing becomes effective last tAOE, tACE, tAA or tBDD.

NOTES:
1. Transition is measured 0mV from Low or High-impedance voltage with load (Figure 2).
2. This parameter is guaranteed by device characterization, but is not production tested but not 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).

Timing Wa vef orm of Write Cy cle No . 1, R/W Controlled Timing(1,5,8)
Timing Wa v ef orm of Write Cyc le No. 2, CE Controlled Timing(1,5)
NOTES:
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. This parameter is guaranteed by device characterization, but is not production tested. Transition is measured by 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.

Timing Waveform of Semaphore Read after Write Timing, Either Side(1)
NOTE:
1. CE = VIH for the duration of the above timing (both write and read cycle).
NOTES:
1. DOR = DOL = VIL, CER = CEL = VIH, Semaphore Flag is released from both sides (reads as ones from both sides) at cycle start.
2. All timing is the same for left and right ports. Port “A” may be either left or right port. Port “B” is the opposite from port “A”.
3. This parameter is measured from R/W"A" or SEM"A" going HIGH to R/W"B" or SEM"B" going HIGH.
4. If tSPS is not satisfied, the semaphore will fall positively to one side or the other, but there is no guarantee which side will obtain the flag.

NOTES:
1. Pins BUSYL and BUSYR are both outputs when the part is configured as a master. Both are inputs when configured as a slave. BUSYX outputs on the IDT7006 are
push pull, not open drain outputs. On slaves the BUSYX input internally inhibits writes.
2 . "L" if the inputs to the opposite port were stable prior to the address and enable inputs of this port. "H" if the inputs to the opposite port became stable after the address
and enable inputs of this port. If tAPS is not met, either BUSYL or BUSYR = LOW will result. BUSYL and BUSYR outputs cannot be low simultaneously.
3 . Writes to the left port are internally ignored when BUSYL outputs are driving low regardless of actual logic level on the pin. Writes to the right port are internally ignored
when BUSYR outputs are driving LOW regardless of actual logic level on the pin.
Truth Table V — Example of Semaphore Procurement Sequence(1,2,3)
NOTES:
1. This table denotes a sequence of events for only one of the eight semaphores on the IDT7006.
2. There are eight semaphore flags written to via I/O0 and read from all I/O's. These eight semaphores are addressed by A0 - A2.
3. CE = VIH, SEM = VIL to access the semaphores. Refer to the Semaphore Read/Write Control Truth Table.
The left port clears the interrupt by reading address location 3FFE 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
3FFF (HEX) and to clear the interrupt flag (INTR), the right port must read
the memory location 3FFF. The message (8 bits) at 3FFE or 3FFF is user-
defined, since it is an addressable SRAM location. If the interrupt function
is not used, address locations 3FFE and 3FFF are not used as mail boxes,
but as part of the random access memory. Refer to Truth Table III for the
interrupt operation.
Busy Logic
Busy Logic provides a hardware indication that both ports of the RAM
Functional Description
The IDT7006 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 IDT7006 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 3FFE
(HEX) where a write is defined as CE = R/W = V IL per the Truth Table .

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 7006 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 IDT7006 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 IDT7006 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 IDT7006 is an extremely fast Dual-Port 16K 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 I where CE and SEM are both HIGH.
Systems which can best use the IDT7006 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 IDT7006s hardware semaphores,
which provide a lockout mechanism without requiring complex program-
ming.
Software handshaking between processors offers the maximum in
system flexibility by permitting shared resources to be allocated in varying
configurations. The IDT7006 does not use its semaphore flags to control

any resources through hardware, thus allowing the system designer total

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 pro-cessor 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 IDT7006 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 Truth 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 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 Truth
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 simulta-
neous 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 IDT7006’s Dual-Port RAM. Say the 16K x 8 RAM
was to be divided into two 8K 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
6.42
IDT7006S/L
High-Speed 16K x 8 Dual-Port Static RAM Military, Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges
19
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 8K 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 8K. 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 8K 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
8K 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.
