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.TheCEcontrolson-chippowerdowncircuitry
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 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 III for the interrupt operation.
Busy Logic
Busy Logic provides a hardware indication that both ports of the
SRAM 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 SRAM 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 applica-
tions. In some cases it may be useful to logically OR the BUSY outputs
together and use any BUSYindication 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 BUSYlogic 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
thatportLOW.
The BUSY outputs on the IDT 70V05 SRAM in master mode, are
push-pull type outputs and do not require pull up resistors to
operate. If these SRAMs 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 SRAM 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 SRAM 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 IDT70V05 is a 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 SRAM 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 SRAM or any other shared
resource.
