32K x 16 3.3V Bank-Switchable Dual-Ported SRAM with External Bank Selects
Industrial and Commercial Temperature Ranges
Description
The IDT70V7278 is a high-speed 32K x 16 (512K bit) Bank-
Switchable Dual-Ported SRAM organized into four independent 8K x
16 banks. The device has two independent ports with separate
controls, addresses, and I/O pins for each port, allowing each port to
asynchronously access any 8K x 16 memory block not already
accessed by the other port. Accesses by the ports into specific banks
are controlled via bank select pin inputs under the user's control.
Mailboxes are provided to allow inter-processor communications.
Interrupts are provided to indicate mailbox writes have occurred. An
automatic power down feature controlled by the chip enables (CE
0
and
CE
1
) permits the on-chip circuitry of each port to enter a very low
standby power mode and allows fast depth expansion.
The IDT70V7278 offers a maximum address-to-data access time
as fast as 15ns, and is packaged in a 100-pin Thin Quad Flatpack
(TQFP).
Functionality
The IDT70V7278 is a high-speed asynchronous 32K x 16 Bank-
Switchable Dual-Ported SRAM, organized in four 8K x 16 banks. The
two ports are permitted independent, simultaneous access into sepa-
rate banks within the shared array. There are four user-controlled
Bank Select input pins, and each of these pins is associated with a
specific bank within the memory array. Access to a specific bank is
gained by placing the associated Bank Select pin in the appropriate
state: V
IH
assigns the bank to the left port, and V
IL
assigns the bank to
the right port (See Truth Table IV). Once a bank is assigned to a
particular port, the port has full access to read and write within that
bank. Each port can be assigned as many banks within the array as
needed, up to and including all four banks.
The IDT70V7278 provides mailboxes to allow inter-processor
communications. Each port has four 16-bit mailbox registers available
to which it can write and read and which the opposite port can read
only. These mailboxes are external to the common SRAM array, and
are accessed by setting
MBSEL
= V
IL
while setting
CE
= V
IH
. Each
mailbox has an associated interrupt: a port can generate an interrupt
to the opposite port by writing to the upper byte of any one of its four
16-bit mailboxes. The interrupted port can clear the interrupt by
reading the upper byte. This read will not alter the contents of the
mailbox.
If desired, any source of interrupt can be independently masked via
software. Two registers are provided to permit interpretation of inter-
rupts: the Interrupt Cause Register and the Interrupt Status Register.
The Interrupt Cause Register gives the user a snapshot of what has
caused the interrupt to be generated - the specific mailbox written to.
The information in this register provides post-mask signals: Interrupt
sources that have been masked will not be updated. The Interrupt
Status Register gives the user the status of all bits that could potentially
cause an interrupt regardless of whether they have been masked.
Truth Table V gives a detailed explanation of the use of these registers.
